Adon Network, Bogus traffic?

5 replies
I'm puzzled by the constant difference in traffic stats. We moved to a fast VPS server, to reduce the chance of traffic loss due to slow server response..

Here are some statistics from three different campaigns, on MediaTraffic and Adon. All campaigns have been running from Feb 21st until now. These numbers report the entire campaign, start to finish, to eliminate time-zone cutoff differences between the Ad networks and my server.

Media Traffic views, Campaign #1 = 880
Tracking202 views (clicks) = 788
Difference = 92 views, or 10.5%

Adon Traffic views, Campaign #2 = 428
Tracking202 views (clicks) = 335
Difference = 93 views, or 21.7%

Adon Traffic views, Campaign #3 = 691
Tracking202 views (clicks) = 517
Difference = 174 views, or 25%

Are these numbers in line with normal? Are they acceptable?
Why is Adon's traffic loss consistently (worse) more than double that of MediaTraffic?

Anyone with TrafficVance care to check their numbers, post here?

How about your numbers, how much traffic are you losing?

    With your traffic that you are getting, how about conversions? Are you getting any for your offers?

      Yes I do get click-throughs and conversions, so some of the traffic is real..

      What about the missing traffic, why is Adon worse?

      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.

        Hey

        he's right use PARTNERID this will pass back the publishers. there are about 30 of 200 pubs that convert so it's important to shut off the non converting ones ASAP.

    Most probably it's not the traffic missing. Sometimes popups (popunders) are closed too fast by the user , without loading the javascript that does the tracking. Also server load and other things can cause the discrepancies.
    I have worked with the cpv companies you mentioned for some time now , and definitively the traffic is real.
    So , the best advice I can give you is to make your pages smaller , so they will load faster and reduce the % of bounce rate (immediate popup closure) .

      Another thing to keep in mind when your using Adon is to make sure your tracking the Partnerid. Sometimes you will find that there are certain partnerids that are sending bad quality traffic.
