Share Your Exp with AdOn Network

26 replies
Hi,

I have just tried AdOn Network ads. But still can not understand how to succeed there.

Started with $50. And Started campaign with Clickbank good gravity product. And at first I tried with popunders. But after 500 views and zero clicks I stopped this campaign. It is something wrong I think. 500 impressions of popunder and no clicks... Is it possible?

Now I am working on other campaigns. Maybe any marketer could share or give me any tips of how to work with AdOn Network to get any sales?

Any offers or suggestions?

    AdOn is a great network; but, i would never consider promoting CB products on there - that's just me.

    Good luck

      Jared, why is that?

      So, you want to sell me another way to easily make "X" dollars in "X" days? ROFL too funny! IM success requires hard work and lots of time. Most newbies do not survive the steep learning curve. Anyone who says otherwise is probably selling you a fantasy.

    I would agree - no CB offers on there. Sites like Addon have a very diverse audience. Very hard to target. So you need offers that are interesting to a large group of people (weight loss, debt relief, etc.). I have used Addon in the past and found their traffic to be pretty bad (got dropped by one affiliate site for sending so much bad traffic from Addon).

      You must know the traffic you receive is trigered by what partnerID.
      Addon network has some partners that is identified by partnerID.
      Some partner IDs have junk traffic (from my stats) that generate traffic from "search style website" and from my experience not generating leads for me.

      So, we must shut down the bad partner ID.

    yep. I try to do this way. But still no sells.

    Actually I try to work with payperclick. But there are two problems:
    1. 3.000 clicks and no sales.
    2. 3.000 clicks shown on AdOn system, and only 1.000 visits I see on Google Analytics.

    I believe that lot of works of clicks was done by bots or smth.

    @are you direct linking or using a bridge landing page?

    Keep in mind it's very difficult selling a product from a popunder without an eye catching landing page.

    I have landing page. But stopped pupunders after saw that there are no results after 500 views.

    500 views - 0 clicks. That was very pity. I started payper click campaign and spen there 25 USD. I see some bad thing too. My goodle analytics shows only 1000 visits, but there must be 2500 visits....

    So you think I should work with popunder - full page and try to get any clicks there?

      I used landing page, popunder banner and now try to work with clicks, because after 500 impressions there was no clicks... as I red there should be 3-5 %. Ok at least 1 % CTR. But I could not get 0,2 %

      I believe on the most terrible website or banner there would be at least 1 click per 500 imp.

    I think you should start with a landing page that can attract a user's attention.
    Keep in mind that your popup/under is interrupting their browsing experience , so you have only a few seconds to get their attention.
    It's not like ppc where users are in searching mode.

      There are two issues, one is the conversion rate, the other is whether the traffic is garbage.

      Seeder is pointing out that he is buying traffic, but the traffic is not actually real. He is buying a certain number of impressions, he is being charged for them, but is not actually receiving them.

      Is it fraud, theft, or just a technical problem? That is the real issue here.

        yep, Actually I am not sure what I need? Or conversions or not scam traffic.

        What I want is to earn, but I do not know where to start and is traffic good and other things.

        But if some people tell that it is possible to earn on AdOn Network, why I can't do it... ? So I try to learn how it works. But I am not still very confident about them and their traffic reality, because Google Analytics usually shows me good visitors number, and my Apache Server system shows other numbers, but they always count bot visits or something I do not understand.

        I am not sure, but I think apache shows bots + real human visits. And Google analytics shows only human traffic.

        Also AdOn gives me 2800 visits, that they gave me, but I got ZERO of Subscriptions to newsletter and it is easy to find on page, and my landing page looks not so bad.

          Apache should show all traffic and GA is selective. Also GA is not 100% accurate.

          If you are showing an image in your advert, you can check Apache to see how often that image is presented. Does a bot also open images for viewing? If you can put a javascript code in your advert (landing page), and that javascript shows a 1X1 pixel, you should be able to track how many times the pixel is presented. I think bots will not show the pixel because they will not execute javascript? I'm not certain about this, you can test it?

          Once you have confidence in the traffic, the next issue is conversions. This is complex, and will require much testing of different adverts/landing pages as well as different traffic sources.

          Have you tested your advert/landing page on a variety of traffic sources? If it is successful on one source and failing on another, that will tell you something. If it fails on all traffic, that tells you something too.

          If you want to PM your advert and landing page, I'll look at it. You have my email address too, if you can't PM yet..

            I can't PM, because still do not have 50 posts.

            My LP is not perfect, but I just want to get CLICKs on AdOn Network. And nothing. I got none of clicks via Popunder banners or landing pages.

            So I will try now Media Traffic. When I will get 100 real targeted visits with no sales, I will start to work on my landing page. But it is just for testing now.

            ----------------
            I have left 20 USD on AdOn so I will test with direct traffic to different affiliate pages.

            I have done some tests... AdOn is cheating, now I am sure about it. Yes, they give traffic, but not on such terms as they show us.

    My short experience: horrible traffic quality. horrible system. hard to scale. nasty.

    The only use to it for me is if I can find something that works on TrafficVance, I then scale it over to the other networks. AdOn is usually a last attempt - and the traffic quality is so poor it usually doesn't work.

    There are a lot of people on ppv now and many struggling to make it pay.
    get a good coach or forum.

    ref adon
    I used them a few times but not much joy - i think it is due to pop unders rather than popups.

    so use a landing page and then make it like "So you just visited XYZ site" want to know haw to get in for free

    or similar otherwise people just close popunders

    mmy 2p worth

    I have just signed up with adon based on a recommendation here
    Found the site very confusing
    I have invested 40USD in a campaign promoting an optin email cpa offer its waiting aproval
    I am not holding out much hope

    @espresso

    Don't give up with AdON , they are a good network , and their bid prices start from $0.005 instead on $0.015 on most other networks.
    Also , their traffic quality is very good , only problem is lack of volume.
    {{ DiscussionBoard.errors[2015356].message }}
    • I have tested Adon for several different campaigns, campaigns that are already profitable. Their traffic is just junk. Plain and simple. I called and spoke with them and all I can say is that I had to stop myself from laughing at how clueless they are over there... just completely unacceptable.

      Don't even touch it. Waste of money, and a terrible confusing interface. It is one of the oldest ad platforms on the internet and their technology is total garbage.

      Ryan Eagle is right, move on try something else. I have heard from several of my AMs that Adon traffic is highly suspect, I am not saying its fraudulent at all, just best to avoid it unless you enjoy getting scrubbed like a dirty baby in a bathtub.

      Affiliate networks hate it, so therefore if you are using CPA offers you would be wise to move on. No point if the lead is garbage and the advertiser rejects it on the backend.

      They also do search traffic and guess what? It is total garbage too.

    Must agree after a few weeks of testing:

    CONS
    1) traffic is garbage
    2) interface is very confusing / ancient
    3) bugger all instructions on what their strange terminology means
    4) very little traffic even on major domains
    5) the pass thru keyword only works about 10% of the time - can't see what URL/keyword is converting
    6) i get heaps of traffic from rubbish 6th tier search sites and unrelated domains even though they're not in my url list
    7) the live help people are rude and don't have much of a clue

    PROS
    1) Pretty fast campaign approval (around 1 day)
    2) Low deposit required
    3) The account managers do email you back pretty fast if you have a problem

    Sign up if you want to have a play around with PPV for not much outlay but I wouldn't expect any miracles.

    I have a offer that converts at an average 18% for search traffic from organic searches. I've run almost $20 worth of traffic on the page as a popunder from AdOn. I'm using a SID to track clicks and I've gotten (according to my CPA company) 1,841 clicks and have 0 conversions. Really?

    I have used Adon Network myself and I don't recommend it at all. The interface is really confusing and a pain. Never had conversions from this site!!
