well IMO reason was high bid , And To be honest i like to burn my testing budget as fast as i can so i can have initial data .... In your case i guess your creatives were not attractive enough to get good number of clicks ?

Split Testing.

You say your creatives where good, yet proof tells me and you otherwise, your CTR was terrible, thats not a landing page issue.

CTR issue= Creative issue
Conversion issues= Landing page issue

Did you A/B testing on landing pages and creatives?

My ad network automatically does all this, IF people spent the time and put more than 1 creative and 1 landing page. It automatically scores them them and slows the bad combos and speeds up the good ones.

So, if your using an ad network that wont do that, then you need to do it yourself. Otherwise your wasting your time.

Sorry to be blunt, I just don't like seeing people wasting their time.

Sorry to be blunt, I just don't like seeing people wasting their time.

the ad network that i used was POF and as many of you are familiar with it does allow split testing /different images,different headlines and even different body text and i did all of these and i split tested all of these i used 6 different images in one campaign yet my CTR was too low. one thing i suspected for my low CTR is that the images i used wasnt the type of images that attract many clicks and the reason is POF rejected most of the images that i hoped would attract more attention. images with cleavages buttocks, big breasts these images are the ones that attract many clickers if i'm not wrong unfortunately POF didn't allow me to use them ,,they only want face,s and fully dressed bodies and people see these all the time . pof reject body text that sounds more sexual and appealing to its costumers i don't know how you guys get pass through these barriers but i stuck in this .

Thanks

Well first off you said it yourself. Your bid was to high for testing.

Secondly you said you had a good picture and headline. What seems good to you doesn't always mean it will convert remember that. I have had campaigns I thought would bring me thousands and end up making me negative. It looked good to me but what looks good to me doesn't mean other people will like it.

Lastly 25 clicks or so isn't enough data to test. 100 - 1000 is a perfect range to start seeing your conversions.

What I would do from where you are now is the following:

I would lower my bid to start and change the headline slightly. Not to much but make sure its noticable. Make sure your headline entices people to click. The way I see it is, if people just saw my headline... Would they click?

Next if you don't get conversions from that in the first 100 clicks change the picture and keep testing.

One last big advice to give you!

The networks you wortth with have more then 1 dating offer. Use 3-5 offers in a rotator and see which ones convert. This works and your ROI will be a lot bigger if you test all this!

Good luck and keep us posted.

Don't go just on clicks..

Because it also depends on what the conversion payout is.

Go up to 2x the conversion price when testing or $xx dollars.

The last time I visited PoF they requested a $1,000 upfront deposit so I ran away. Don't know if this changed.

My question for this Forum is: did somebody made a good ROI in PoF?
If so, can you roughly inform the figures?

my bid was .50 ten cents more than the suggested bid are you saying i should rise more? plus pof is very much restrictive than i expected they don't approve ads with revealing pictures they give way too much lame excuses to reject your ad sometimes they go like "your ad text is sexual and 100% percent free" has this ever happened to one of your ads? and what kind of images do you use for your ad?

I'm not an expert in POF but do have some experience. My guess is you have too broad target audience and too high bid. Why don't you try lowering your bid? The last time I placed a bid there, I set it at $0.20 with very narrow target (country, gender, age, marital status, number of login, etc).

From my understanding, as you request more targeted audience, you would pay higher bid. Oh, and my above bid give me 6-10 clicks for only $1.5 though my creatives (yes, it's plural) are quite plain.

does this usually happens or there is something went wrong with my ad? i still believe that my ad didn't run long enough to have that much impressions.

Hi Nubitol, I guess that by now you got some more clicks over there.

dont worry it happens when it get things going for the first time. if you bid high and also go braod, you will burn budget lot quicker. you need to target your audience properly. Try to digg in as much as possible. Start bidding low, if no impression then slowly increase your bid,

Try multiple creatives with images, adcopy and description. kills those ads quickly which get no to less clicks. give them few thousand impression if not no good then its time to kill.

Erhm ... this is how advertising works. You try a traffic source, blow some money, see if it converts. If not, you can either tweak and see if things improve (on your website or on your PPC campaign) ... or go to another traffic source alltogether. But $25 is nothing, try going through $1-2k a DAY via PPC, then we're talking serious money

Hey Nick, you mean budgeting $1.000/$2,000 a day just for testing your ads?
Obvioulsy it may work better but you must have very deep pockets man

What if you go with $1K and for whatever reason you fail? You'll surely stop that campaign but the $1k blew away.
I think that getting some 300/400 clicks on ad and a std conversion rate with $50 in a good network it can be enough to roughly estimate the ROI of the campaign. If you fail, then you can either make some changes to your ad and/or LP and repeat with similar budget or switch to another network (not G. Adwords I would say).

  Maybe that's something you should avoid too. On social networks and forums, people are pretty blind to ads. 3,000 impressions is nothing. Is it from Unique IPs? Even then, 3,000 impressions is very less to assess the campaign.
  
  If you still think it's the best way out there, then you could probably test 4-5 different campaigns. If the result is similar all across, then you know you'll need to change the threshold to a much higher number.

At PoF, you simply fund the minimum $25, then set the maximum for one ad at $5 total. Choose 10 cents per click.

Where is it? Per Click? All I see is CPI Per Impressions only.

I'm reading some WSO about POF and even there inside the document

Author ADS showing 0.039% - 0.18% CTR, and IMHO it's disaster..

I burn my first $25 in few hours as well, but now I found out that I didn't set too

many criteria's.. Good Idea to Target by Browser Forefox/IE only cause

Safari used by APPLE dummy devises and Chrome used by Google Androids

Basically you want to stay away from Mobil traffic as far as possible..

And me, even after reading that good .pdf. for now I'll stay away from POF,

50 cent clicks it's too expensive for Display traffic, cause search traffic much

higher quality. Me too have ZERO conversions on POF.

Thanks

If I remember correctly, POF has a minimum of $25 or possibly $50 dollars.

Is your offer that broad? I mean, is it for use in 30 countries like you listed? Try to limit your target, by age, sex, status (single), and maybe try one country? USA?

yes the minimum deposit is still $25. you right i barely targeted more than 3 countries in that offer and the amount of impressions it received in matter of seconds was like i targeted the whole world i didn't know pof had such a huge members which is a good thing for me because i realized the half of the entire world of daters live in that site and if i target small piece of them rather than all of them i will have my hands full of money in no time

Thanks for all the chatter on this. I think we all make mistakes with new services when we use them the first time. OP is right though - his $25 education is invaluable in the long run and now that he has shared his experience we've learned on his dime too. Question, though, with 24 clicks and 0 conversions were you linking directly to a sale page or did you at least collect their contact information for dripping through your system?

Try being super targeted in your ad copy also. ie:

{gender:default}
{age:default}
{state:default}

By using these tags you can include the user’s gender, age, or the state they live in on your ad title or description. Here is an example:

Title: Low Insurance Rates in {state:the US}!
Description: We have the lowest rates for {gender:people} {age:25+}.

His CTR was what .36?

If his targeting is OK and the traffic is decent, the he needs to adjust the creative.

You cant say a creative is working if your CTR is .36% Your traffic must like your creative to work. So your traffic is either poor or your creative is not suited to the traffic.

Thanks

You have to use all targeting options suitable for the offer that you are promoting . I also want to advice that you promote an offer which is targgted to a certain demogapohics . It is how to you exploit the power of POF ad .

Cpm is always about demographics if you have that option. I am very picky on cpm.
POF used to be excellent, now customer service seems to be really bad, I wait for well over
24 hours for an ad to go live sometimes.

One more hint, always do your bidding at like .40 cents per thousand, and only put in about 3 dollars a day, this is easier to track and keeps you out of trouble, plus you can lower or raise you bid or change your demographics, I will also run about four ads at once for the same offer and different demographics, then tweak and combine as it goes.

So many similar date ads on PoF. You really need to know lot about it and test a lot to fit in. I also burned $100 on PoF and never touched again lol. I needed to know more about it before testing which was my mistake

Thanks

yeah dude POF rocks! You have to even out your impressions though...to 24 hours evenly. And then you must focus in on your audience...and really utilize their targeting feature...that is the key. And of course track. Once you find out the winning combination of targeting and which ads converts....blam....you can scale up and make some serious cash!

Thanks

Make sure and change your min bid to something like .22 cpm (since your testing I'd start low and slowly raise it 0.01 every 3 days) until you get enough traffic to meet your budget

Set your budget to distribute evenly throughout the day.

Set your frequency to 3x limit per day (not visit!).

Test multiple creatives, find ones that are 0.2+ ctr.

Exact same thing happened to me, but with FaceBook. Try to target more accurately, eventually you will get it!

to be honest if you use POF for advertising, try something DIFFERENT then a dating affiliate,,I have used them before and did quite well, especially with a travel related affiliate. I've also used a clickbank aff site--based on weight loss, just trying to help

Thanks

I know people are applauding pof, but I have used them from day one, it's not the same as the past man. They take so long to get back to you and if you change anything in your ad you have to wait to get approved again. I don't blame you.

If you want immediate results then use trafficvance or one of the other ppv networks. Won't be as cheap.

Even Facebook is easier to get started on cpm than pof is.

Thanks

Target smaller demographics. Use more targeting options.

I guess it depends on the offer for me, PPV and POF are both their own challenges.
