Adf.ly Traffic To Email/Zip CPA Offers

by Ron Schuler
25 replies
Can you get banned by a network for sending adf.ly traffic to email/zip submit cpa offers? I know it would probably be like an atm machine for you but the quality of leads for them would most likely be terrible? Can anyone say if they have made money with this method or if it is safe?

    Make sure you always reach out to your affiliate manager if your unsure if the offers you wanna promote allow this. I've had very limited success with Adf.ly promoting download/install offers.

    As John said, most CPA offers will not say if this is allowed or not so you need to contact your AM and ask him directly. This also differs from one CPA network to another.

    I think most affiliate network won't accept it because of the poor quality of traffic send by adf.ly.

    It will be safe to promote email/zip submit offers via a landing page.

    I'm not really sure if it's allowed or not. The only way you find out if its allowed or not is to contact your affiliate manager. It's better that you should promote your CPA offers via landing page (free or paid), and it converts very well than direct linking.

    Hope this helps you man. Cheers!

      I think almost all network will refuse to accept traffics from Adf.ly but I think being confirmed by your AM you can promote download offers only.

    As other said check with your am and also check if the offer allow contexual traffic. Try to use lander or build a small list then give it a go.

      A lot of people think of cheap CPV traffic as totally useless junk, but in reality it's not. Traffic like this can be converted, you just have to understand your demographics. Consulting your AM would be a good idea though.

    I tested one cpa offer with adfly 3 months ago... I spent $6 for 2000 views from Australia and I got $6.25 revenue the next day. I tried it again and purchased 3000 views for $9 and checked the next day... zero conversions...
    Tried other offers... zero conversions still...

    My experience... the conversions is up and down. I think advertising from adfly ad is a gamble. You can win big but you can also lose big.

    I went back to my methods although slowly but surely.

      Correct, most networks won't allow it because the traffic quality is pretty bad. There is no targeting besides location, which causes a bunch of garbage traffic to go through. The value of the traffic is really limited (which is why it is so cheap).

    Do you yourself view/read any ads on adf.ly? So think, People are not going to view these ads also, Or they are random people with no quality. These traffic system is Really BAD. I have tested many sales and offers (from mobpartner,amazon,bluehost,adult cam sites...), they are just got tooo much bad traffic with very little (0.0001% CR).
    What do you think?

    I know 2 people personally who have gotten adfly to convert and be profitable. While most can't get it to work, there are indeed people who can. The 2 people in question are FANATICAL testers with pretty deep pockets.

    Much love, health, wealth & prosperity,
    Daniel.

    I agree with EternalWarrior...Synonymous poor traffic ratings from Adf.ly won't really be looked upon with joy from your AM.

    Nevertheless...It does not hurt to ask. Maybe they need the (non-targeted traffic) that bad. Things are always up to circumstance, so try it out. (Only if you don't really care about the affiliate network...lol)

    I don't think they will ban you as long as advertisers are making money.

    It is all about the offer and the demographic of the users the offer is presented to them.

    Make sure to talk to your Affiliate Manager before you run Adf.ly campaigns. However they are not really converting well.

    I bought their world package 10.000 visitors for $10 to send to my wordpress blog. Bounce rate was 99,97 % So the question here is, is my blog crappy or is adfly traffic crappy. Anyway, I have a good looking pyramide in my google analytics account, that is for sure.

    Adf.ly traffic is garbage. You are getting what you pay for. It is not impossible to make it work, but it is difficult.

    I have never gotten a conversion from adf.ly. I have tested 6 offers, with both interstertial and banner traffic.

    Maybe next time I have nothing better to do I will test it again.
