What is with the Obsession With 7Search and Zip Submits

They are wigedy whak!

How many fail posts are in this sub-forum outlining how stupid they are?

Personally I reckon its just a ploy for direct marketers and email marketers to scrub 99% of leads and build cheap lists.

I am mainly an adsense guy.

But I am on a whole bunch of Aff networks and keep an eye on any new offers that come up that I could do something with.

Just recently I found an offer that I thought I could do something with.

I tested creatives I made myself on my blog to see which would give the best CTR.

The landing page of the offer was good and was converting at over 25% of click throughs.

So all I had to do was scale up on advertising.

Facebook, PPC, and researched media buys.

The offer just reached the cap for the month. But I reckon I got a majority chunk of the monthly budget.

My AFF manager contacted me tripping out because I hardly do anything with CPA and just made bank out of the blue lol.

    email/zip submits are crap, 7search isn't though. it's all about filtering out the referrers and then they have decent traffic, especially for their prices!

      Righto, I won't disagree about 7search. As I have never used their service.

      But I am glad we can agree that zip submits are crap.

    yeah. submits are short term(if you can get them to work) because the advertiser will scrub the hell out of you anyways.

    The reason people say 7 search traffic are junk is only because they saw post, thread or heard from other about 7 search who never bothered to take time to convert the traffic to leads. Most of them never tried 7 search but they like to just add the word JUnk next to 7search.

    & search can work with many different verticals. It matter of testing.

    email and zip submit has the Highest scrubbing as far i know of.

      Disagree with you,

      I ran scholarship Zone with them a while back, I was averaging about 8 to 10 leads with them being highest bidder so to start there traffic is insufficient if you really wanna make a lot of commissions.

      Second after about 12 days advertiser asked me to pause offer cause the traffic was poor.

      had same experience with insurance offer the only offer i ever did okay with was credit report, I paid $50 a day and got 2 leads a day for a profit of $8 bucks lol.

      If you wish to run PPC i would advise to stick with the ones that actually send you targeted traffic and can actually send you a descent amount of traffic.

      There is a old saying you get what you pay for, There bids may be cheap but your getting cheap traffic.

    Dude.

    You need to go for offers that take a bit of work.

    Ideally the big bank is in Payday loans, Credit scores, Insurance etc...

    But from EXP. The only thing that works with those offers is either PPC or SEO.

    Hard to break into SEO on these ones.

    PPC is expensive and a real b&*ch to get approved.

    I'm not going to tell you what offers I sucessfuly promote. And neither will anybody else.

    The best advice you'll get here is...Speak to your affiliate managers.

      Yes, of course, no one will give a free way of their success with it, they sell them to experience success as a substitute for their toil.

      You're right, but people new to it don't look at it that way and will not spend the money necessary to make them work. They want to spend as little as possible and get the greatest return. That's where email/zip submits come in. I use them to train people and get people experience with PPC marketing. THEN I tell them to move on up to the bigger offers that take a bit of work.

      Have to give them what they want first, then give them what they need.
