ExoClick case study $23 generated 7 leads

77 replies
Alright so I was looking up reviews for ExoClick and couldn't find any definite ones, so I thought I would bite the bullet and give it a go and deposit my $200 there.

So I will be reporting my earnings clicks, ctrs and etc to show whether or not this is worth it.

I'm promoting an adult dating offer (I won't say which one or which network) and am going to dump $200 testing it to see if it's a winner.

DAY 1 Findings

I targeted US traffic using a CPM model and bid $.10 per 1000 views.

I'm direct linking right now to see what will happen.

I'm only targeting amateur websites.

CURRENT STATS

300x250 AD
Cost: $25.82
eCPM: $.10
Impressions: 258k
CTR: 0.05%
Clicks: 121
CPC: $.21
Conversions: 0

Now, Exoclick offers a cpc of $.05 which is 4 times less than what I paid using this model and to be honest once they approved my AD I went to bed before I could tweak this and it went live and blew $25 on a bunch of stuff I knew wasn't going to work, but I did find a few sites that had a lot of clicks and calculated out to be about $.03 a click so I might focus on that site and see where it takes me. Also this ran at about 3am to 4am in the morning in the US on the east coast where no one is seriously looking for people to date so I'll run it again with fixed stats for about $10 or so and see if I can't do a bit better.

    Exoclick traffic sucks, here is my stats so far :

    Spent : $60.40
    Clicks : 1208
    CPC : 0.05
    Conversions : 0

    same here, promoting some dating offers that allow adult traffic but my offers are targeting european countries.

    Don't let the price of the traffic tempt you guys,at the end of the day it's really about the quality.

    for the OP, I'd say switch to cpc because the CTR on cpm is usually very low, if you're not gonna get any conversions anyway then you'd better at least get the most clicks for your bucks lol

    So no wonder that they require you to make a deposit of $200 upfront, because they know that Reuther traffic sucks, and they want to get the lost out of you before you inf out.

    To be honest, on every network you're going to have 90% shit traffic because there are a lot of shit sites that get accepted just because of their numbers. For example, I had an average clickthrough rate of .05% on 90% of the sites that I ran them on and then on one site I got .8% and on another one 2%. Even though it will cut down on my volume, I just use those sites and save money. Also, it takes time to fine tune a campaign and see what converts. Exoclick has nothing to do with the quality of the sites, people would not still advertise penis pills if people did not buy them.

    I just uploaded 10 ads 1/2 with two different copies and all of them with different photos, waiting to get them approved.

  • Exo Traffic most certainly doesnt suck.

    We've crushed 10k+/day there.

    What sucks is that you're direct linking.
    That will never work with adult dating on adult display media.

    Also - what country traffic are you running?

    It may be that you are running a sub standard offer too.

      I'll be honest and say that I lack the experience when it comes to adult traffic, so you might be right.

      and yeah I was direct linking ...

      btw, 10k/day sounds like a great achievement, was that done promoting dating offers ?

      • Yes - monetize adult media with either Adult Dating, Male Enhancement, or Gambling.

        Gay traffic send to V.O.D.

        Mobile traffic to either Dating, or Operator Billing V.O.D.

        Always use landing page for dating/diet stuff.

    A certain Clickbank male enhancement ebook works well with Exoclick traffic (US). The key to making money is to look at the sites you want to advertise on and see what others are advertising.

    Ok, so still waiting on my new ads to get approved, I hear they check it twice a day even on the weekend so hopefully by tomorrow morning they're neyed or yeyed. ALso, I paused the campaign because I don't want it to go live until I'm ready, so I'm wondering if they still approve ads even with the campaign paused, anyone know?

    You can't really spend only $60 and then go ahead and say a certain traffic source "sucks". Could be a ton of factors.

    I do 3am-4am and from my experience, it is a good time to be running traffic. Are you doing RON? $25 is pretty small to find out anything definite so keep at it!

    Your CTR is super low. It could be your creatives?
    {{ DiscussionBoard.errors[7752622].message }}
  • Profile picture of the author Sweetcheeks12354
    What's funny is that click through rate is pretty standard. Although I did new creatives and it did go up.

    UPDATE

    Alright, got my ads approved and made my first conversion YAY!

    I have a landing page too so here's the new stats.

    Money Spent : $6.40
    Clicks: 128
    Impressions: 343k
    CTR: 0.05%
    CPM: 0.02
    CPC: 0.05
    CTR LP: 73%
    EPC: $.05
    Conversions:1
    ROI: -60%

    So I finally made a conversion and I think this can be profitable. Although I'm $3.40 in the hole for this one $28 in all, all I have to do now is micro target what's working and what's not, but first I'm going to run this at a time that is not 5am on the east coast and run it for another $15 and see how it goes.

    Yeah, the only thing that bugs me is when I want to make a small tweak it has to get approved all over again, which isn't a big deal since they approve hourly, but they approve hourly on a time schedule where I'm asleep since they are 9 hours ahead of me so it doesn't do me any good.

    GOOD NEWS EVERYONE! (futurama)

    I sent some more traffic and got the same crappy stats as before, about 0.05% CTR and about $.05 earnings per click. The good news is that I got another conversion and have pretty much figured out with exoclick I'll earn about $.05 a click earnings which normally would be bad since it costs me $.05 a click. HOWEVER! This is actually a good thing because now I know which sites have a high CTR.

    Some sites I advertised got a 5% CTR with over 5,000 views which may fluctuate, but even if it drops to .5% CTR I'm still in the black.

    The ads are working and so is the CTR for the landing page (about 75%) right now, so if I cut out the sites that I spammed to, it will bring my costs down and cost me about $.01 per click, or $.0125 a click on the LP. Meaning about a 300% ROI or so (did math in my head).

    This sounds great but the volume is low at about 250 clicks a day or $12.5 or $10 a day in profit.

    This is only one sub category only though in the many that exoclick offers. If I use all 15 or so and make more specific landing pages/ads for each niche or ads, then you can roughly multiply that and get $150 per day for about 2 more weeks of testing.

    This is all speculative of course.

    I'm going to also run this at night rather than 6am in the morning because that's when it gets approved. So I'll run this for another $20 tonight and see if the stats don't improve a bit.

    Also, I thought I set up Prosper202 right since when I click on the LP it registered my click, but it only registered 4 clicks out of some 100 that my cpa network counted and the offer converted obviously so I'm wondering what's not working.

    Any ideas?

    Update:

    Stats for today

    Money Spent : $14.50
    Clicks: 290
    Impressions: 632k
    CTR: 0.05%
    CPM: 0.02
    CPC: 0.05
    CTR LP: 47%
    EPC: $.08
    Conversions:3
    ROI: -60%
    Leads earned:$9
    Total gained: -$5.40

    So my stats are somewhat consistent with CPC. Which is good though because that means if I can just manage to tweak one or two things, then I can profit. So here's my strategy for tomorrow.

    1. Switch back to CPM, eliminate all sites with low CTR. Exoclick gives you the chance to see where you clicks come from and then choose which you want. So what I plan on doing is eliminating any site with a CTR lower than .5%, I don't expect there to be many, but even if I only get 300 clicks or so per day, that's about $15 profit off of one category, change it up for the other 15 or so and you're talking about $200 days, not to mention you can do multiple dating offers etc, like I said though, just pulling numbers out of my ass here, I have to prove it first.

    2. Test more ad images to get higher CTR. I got 3 images that did quite well getting .05% RON CTR which means they'll do better targeted. I have 7 new ones up, a few animated to see how well those do.

    3. I'm thinking about coming up with another landing page that is just a screenshot of the offer page, or designed the same way so people think the dating site is advertising it directly, we'll see how that works.

    4. Changing domain name to something naughtier or more realistic than the one it's on now.

    5. Thinking about showing the ad more than 1 time per person per day. I read somewhere you need to show somebody something 7 times for it to stick, I'll try that at a later date though when I have more money to blow.

    I don't have access to my stats right now, but I ran CPM with mostly TERRIBLE results again costing me another $20 mostly because I'm asleep when this happens and the ads run at the worst time of the day which is really pissing me off, but there's no way to pause them, get them approved and then run them at the right time, they always have to be running so Exoclick loses a point on their review at the end for that. Why can't they have American hours too!

    I did eliminate a lot of the sites that were costing a lot and found a few that actually brought my cpc below $.05 a click, around $.04 a click so I feel if I can find a few more sites then I can be in the black finally. I sent them an email back about that, I'll let you know what they say.

    0 conversions this time after 120 clicks or so, I blame this on it being 7am EST when it started running YARGH!

    I ran a few new ads which did FANTASTIC getting a RON wide .08% CTR. No sarcasm here, that's actually great since my other ads got .05%. Remember, it costs no more money for me, but I get more clicks if it's CPM, so if I can microtarget sites with those ads then I'll get about a 60% increase of money theoretically.

    After work today I'm going to try out a new landing page, see if I can get a higher CTR and also putting up a new URL and seeing how that goes.

    Have to get prosper202 to work too, because there's a lot of money being left out here.

    Today's stats from Exoclick, I would post my network's too, but it was 0 conversions

    I wouldn't spend too much time worrying about getting the CPC down a cent or two. You're missing the big picture if you do that. Pay attention to the quality of the clicks and which sites are converting. A lot of the sites that have a high CTR have lower quality traffic/fraudulent clicks.

        You can track conversions in ExoClick. Just click on the "Conversion Tracking" tab. Then create a goal and it should give you a pixel. Enter the pixel into your CPA network's platform.

        It should track conversions now. Go to your stats to see the conversions by site.

          Do you know of a good tutorial to do all this stuff, I looked around and couldn't find one that set up everything including the hosting etc.

        I did notice there was a lot of clicks done by the same person which just ran up the price. Also about 5% of the clicks were done outside the country, meaning non-US, but these could be proxies what have you. Pretty clean traffic over all though.

    well done finding this really interesting
    I ran a couple of adult dating offers in the past but little results
    If I were you I would stick with CPC I have always had issues with CPM esp in porn

    Who the hell is looking at porn at 7am
    You need to figure out time zones better
    is exoclick european
    Remember the EU is is 6 hours ahead of New York time
    I would say your best time to run adverts is 19.00 -02.00 EST so in CET that is 01.00-08.00

    You could also look at doing a European targeted advert

      Yeah I'm in Cali so they're only open when I'm asleep and you have to have your campaign active to get it activated and it's a coin toss when it gets approved so it's really annoying.

      This is the way I'm looking at it right now, I have 1 of 2 choices

      See if I can get the CPC down to about 2 cents (which is very possible on other sites like JuicyAds where I have more experience and was my previous strategy, but low volume if you're not running RON, never done RON before there though) or do what Craig said and weed out the sites that are delivering the bad clicks. The problem with this strategy though is that you can't micro target sites as I'm finding otherwise it wouldn't be RON. If you want to micro-target sites the CPC goes up drastically because people know that it's a good site in which case a $3 offer can't compete against those selling products worth $30 or so.

    On a positive note I owe Craig a coffee for finding that conversion tracking thing offered by exoclick, it works really well.

    G2 represents conversions....0 So I've got a bit more tweaking to do

        alright, taking a little hiatus from this while I set up some new digs. Got VPShosting finally. I checked my stats for data usage on the site and they went like 10x over the limit that they were allotted so I'm probably losing a lot of people who don't want to wait for the page to load.

        Applying a new domain name etc...so I won't be posting here for a few days while I get this set up.

      No conversions,

      The problem is whenever I ad a new ad, change the LP, want to try a different source they have to be approved again and are stopped right then and there. They approve them at 7 am their time in Spain or 10pm to 11pm my time. Unfortunately I have to sleep then to get up early for my job so they start running while I'm asleep. I don't know exactly what time they start, but I want to start them at about 9 pm EST and run them to about 1 am EST. So I need them to approve it while the campaign is paused not running, but they won't approve it unless the campaign is already running.

    "Hi Nikolas,

    Thank you for contacting your ExoClick Support.

    The campaign approval is done from Monday to Friday, from 8:30am and until 7:00pm GMT+2 (Spain hour).

    During this time period, the approval is done every 10 minutes. Out of this period, the approval can take between 12 and 48h to be done.

    If you want to get your paused campaigns approved, you need to send us an email (support@exoclick.com) with the campaign ID.
    If everything looks fine, we will approve your campaign and you can start it whenever you want.

    Thank you for your trust and understanding.
    Best regards,"

    Very helpful, fast response time so there's one major problem solved.

    I'm still getting a high CTR to the offer from my landing page, but no conversions. The LP does not really match the offer meaning it doesn't look the same so I'm wondering if it would help to make the LP the same as the offer page.

    So I was figuring out the math.

    CPC is $.05
    CTR LP is 50% effectively making the CPC $.1
    Network epc is $.12, so is this really worth it, or do you other guys get above the average network epc.

      The thing about network EPC, is that you never know what kind of traffic it's coming from. Email traffic will often give the highest EPC, while things like PPV traffic tend to drop the overall EPC quit a bit. Asking your AM what kind of traffic is mainly being sent can help give you an idea, but ultimately, your own EPC will come down to the type of traffic you send and the way you run your campaign.

    Alright, set up the new system 0 conversions so I've pretty much wittled it down to the problem which is traffic source.

    I did RON for a specific category thinking that 90% of the traffic would be junk and that the 10% or so that would be good I would just focus on those sites and then rinse and repeat, but the traffic on the majority was so bad that $100 was not enough to filter out the good ones.

    I also think that the offer itself that pays out $3 is just not enough especially when other dating offers pay up to $12 per person for a lead. So with the remaining $100 I am going to come up with another strategy so stay tuned.

    Oh wow, this proves that the campaign makes one of the biggest differences.

    I picked a niche site that had a very specific focus and found an offer that was generic, but provided a $20 sale. I created ads that had the same theme as the site and had a landing page that had the same theme and it made a HUGE difference.

    Anyway, I'll get the stats when I finish running it, but I spent about $30 so far and generated $60, let's hope the 100% ROI stays the same.

      Yeah, I think that at $.05 a click with exoclick it's very hard to convert something at $3 and still stay in the black, however, if you can get something over the $10 range it gives you a lot more leeway.

      No, it's actually an adult niche site, but very micro. I don't think I can do that great of volume, but even if it brings in $30-$50 a day in profit, it's well worth it.

    Premium, I would stay away from RON. I knew it wasn't going to go well, but I thought I could glean info from which sites do well. Instead I recommend that you go to their premium and do research on every single site, make sure that the ad placement is in the top half and above the fold, I got a 1% CTR on one of them making the clicks super cheap, but I hear that their minimum CPM is $1 on premium sites so it's still 10 cents per click with just a $1 CPM so you would need closer to a 3% CTR to profit.

    Oh, I'm running a regular adult site, but I have experience with these kinds of sites (I won't say why

    Crap, apparently my method of promoting my 3 sales for the site was not accepted by the network because of the low quality, it was incentive based so they removed the sales.

    Back to square one....

    Did you offer the visitor sth to buy ? Why not just try again, but without the offer?

    Alright, I've decided to try another strategy using content locking to get people to convert. I used to do well with content locking before using this strategy.

    I just need to brush up on my programming.

    Indeed it's not, pretty sure it's the traffic, but I'm working on some software that might give me some insight as to why it's not working properly.
    {{ DiscussionBoard.errors[7816648].message }}
    • Profile picture of the author Sweetcheeks12354
      Alright sorry for the lack of the updates. Here's what has been happening.

      I made some software that will automatically create accounts on the largest tube sites, upload my videos etc and it's going pretty well so far. My link to the dating offer is in the video itself, so I took promotional videos from adult sites I'm already promoting and used those 2 - 5 minute clips as fodder.

      Accounts created: 28
      Movies uploaded: 117
      Clicks: 119
      Average amount of views per video: 600
      CTR LP: 24.3%
      Conversions: 1

      So I'm getting a click for every week that the video is up as of right now. Some have gotten 0, some like 15, but I'm not even going to bother figuring out which videos make what, just mass uploading.

      The good news is I made a conversion already for $3. I'm just sending this traffic to the same site I had before with exoclick. Much lower landing page CTR, but the benefit is, cost to run this program is ......$0. I'm still working out the kinks with the software, but once I do, I can run this and probably get close to 1000 clicks per day, if that works then I can rent some VPS and run it on those and get even more. As for my current stats (not nearly enough to predict how much I'll get) For 1000 clicks a day I'll be making

      $21.78 a day for autopilot. Not too shabby for clicking one button and like I said if I run the VPS or up my PC power and get faster internet, then we're looking at $217.80 day for no work.

      I'm not getting banned at sites as of right now since I'm only uploading a hand full per day to each site so it's not spamming even if it's the same video. It's

      Yes, this is true, I still have $90 in my exoclick account, but I needed a break from it for a while and started fiddling around with software.

      Once I get this WSO done with my software I'll go back to Exoclick to finish my review.

    Are you back to work with Exoclick?

    My experience was not to good with this company.
    In total I lost $ 400 dollars in testing and Test.
    So stop using it.

    I don't know why people are saying exoclick is scam. I am working with exoclick since last three year and already made more than 5000usd. Remember no adnetwork will pay you if you are using blackhat method or sending fake traffic they will ban your account.

    People sending fake traffic and blaming ad network but don't involve in any blackhat activity you will surely paid.

    Here I have written my personal experience about exoclick you can read with payment proof.
