AD NETWORKS

Hi I have been running a few email submit CPA offers with Maxbounty
The best two are converting at a rate of 10-20% (US and UK traffic)
I need to up scale this
So far the traffic is poor and while I have made money I have lost more
(Based on non geo targeting)

I need to up scale this to at least 5 sign ups a day (short term goal)
I am willing to pay for traffic and prefer to but of course this will need to be added in when making calculations

The niche is tech.

I am looking for any advice advertising streams you feel could work for this
I have tried a couple of PPC companies only 1 has worked but inst geo targeted

If you have any ideas please let me know

I can geo target views on youtube. But I'm not sure of the sign-up rate on the traffic because I can only target countries. Just send me a PM if you want details on cost or an example of video I put up, if you are interested in youtube views. I created a pretty bad video 3 days ago. Nearly 1000 views from the US and about 10-15 clicks, the video took me about 2min to make as I was just testing to see if I could get youtube views.

In the future though, this video should have more views and therefore some niche targeted traffic should come along and boost the click thru and conversion rates (becasue of the amount of views).

Not sure if this is what you want though.

Good Luck anyway.

If you want to scale up go for the bigger margin offers. More money, more traffic and a heckuva lot easier than fighting over crumbs.

Any questions let me know

I got 15 leads for an advertiser on day 1 who was paying like $30/lead , after first day all conversions went to "0". I am pretty sure that he started to scrub each and every lead after the day 1.

Always make sure you are cross network split testing! Spread the risk!

If you are spending and $100 and making $80, when you spend $1,000 you will lose $200. So you need to reach a good ROI before you start scalling your campaign.
