More than 200+ clicks and no leads yet, help?

18 replies
Hi guys, I'm really desperate right now.

A moth ago or so I spend all my money on a full CPA Marketing course, I funded my 50 on Red acc with 500usd, I spent all my money on this, and then
a week ago I started running a few MaxBounty and PeerFly campaigns via cpv/ppv traffic on 50 on red.

I have a payday loan campaign with more than 200 clicks and not a single lead yet, and I have 4 booking.com campaigns with more than 150+ clicks and no leads... What can I do? Those campaigns were suggested by my AM on MB, he says that they're doing great but somehow they do not work for me.

I already spent more than 40 usd on traffic, I feel like I'm failing, I KNOW, that I'm failing, and I don't want to, I just can't.

Any expert advice? What sould I do? Talking to my MB AM he said that I should re-target, but how? I use alexa, follow me, skyrap, google adwords an many other tools for my keywords, I've got tons of impressions on 50 on red but NOTHING.

Could it be a problem with my affiliate link?
The way I do it is I take the link, put a sub id on it, go to prosper, create the campaign, get my tracking link, and then copy and paste the tracking link in the 50onred creative, and in the end I place {target} this is the way to do it, right?

Please, help, I'm getting desperate, I knew this wasn't easy money or anything but I expected some results. I would love some advice, if someone is willing to help I can provide some screenshots or anything...
Thank you guys for your time.

    Make sure you're using the version of Booking.com that automatically geo-redirects your traffic to the right campaign based on where the traffic is from. That could be the issue but my guess is your AM already made sure it wasn't.

    It might just be a matter of needing to test more. (different keywords, targeting, etc.) If you're still fairly new it could take a little bit to make some forward progress, just don't get discouraged. Talk with your MaxBounty AM to make sure all your links are working fine and feel free to ask them for some more advice if you're still struggling.

    Good luck!

    I'm running 4 different Booking.com campaigns, one for Italy, France, Spain and Australia, all of them have the right traffic, in one single day I got 300+ clicks from Italy, and not a single conversion yet, my AM tells me that there's nothing wrong with the offers, I really thing that the traffic is well-targeted.
    The only thing that's on my mind is if the link does not work properly, or maybe I messed up in the prosper section, on copying and pasting the link, I don't really know.
    Should I test a campaign without the tracking link? just direct-linking my affiliate link? I don't know what else to try, I'm trying to not get discouraged but it's really hard, lol.

    Already down 60 usd from traffic, more than 1000+ clicks in all my campaigns and not a single lead... I'm going crazy.

      Are you using a landing page for these offers or are you direct linking?

      1000 direct linking impressions is really nothing in the PPV scheme of things...

    Also, when I go to my maxbounty campaigns my sub ids are not set.
    I'm using prosper202, could this be the problem, or could it be a problem regarding this?

    As we know, CPA will cost more than CPC, CPM. Also it leads to better result but more difficult. For our experience, we run ads in desktop apps. Also we can get good clicks, but conversion rate is indeed low.

    I don't think 200 clicks is enough to judge how an offer converts. You will need to send atleast 1k clicks to analyze the campaigns properly. Just curious are you direct linking or you have created a landing page for it?

        Not enough data tbh.

        You could easily have 10 times that many impressions to gather enough data for an offer like booking.com

            There is no real secrets, you just need a lot more data.

            1000 impressions for one booking.com campaign in one geo is really nothing.

            Obviously make sure you are tracking everything.

            Are you targeting urls or keywords?

              I'm targeting both, but keywords are the ones that get the most impressions.

    Payday loans and cps offers are not for newbie.

    I have some ideas on how to avoid this as well if you have the time to PM and discuss with me MiuraUY. I agree generally with iharrythomas also that you should give it a good test with a decent amount of clicks, but 200 also is an OK sample # of clicks to work with in my opinion. There could be varying things happening that likely could be sorted out before going live with the ad also. It would be great to talk more with you about it.

    Don't take this the wrong way, it just sounds like you are fairly new and don't have reasonable expectations..

    What course did you take?

    Booking.com campaigns pay approx $10 per lead, right (I think a tad more), if you've spent $40 on this campaign, it really isn't a good enough sample size to give you information yet (it even sounds like some of this was spent on other campaigns as well?)

    I'm assuming you're using 50onred, but what type of traffic? PPV? Intext?

    How did you pick your targets?

    Are you just targeting one country?

    How are you bidding?

    Do you have a landing page?

    Have any of your targets hit the amount spent equal to what your offer pays?

    How long have the campaigns been running ? And how many?


    The more info you can help provide the better help we can be

        You seem to have the basics covered.

        Maybe try a landing page? at least that way you can check the CTR of targets to see if there is any interest.

        I think it's odd that you are running one payday loan campaign for three different countries. I have never seen a payday offer that targets USA and Italy and France. I actually didn't know Italy and France have payday loans.

        Did you at least confirm with your affiliate program that the number of clicks you show are the number of clicks they show? That will tell if you if something is wrong with your affiliate link.
