by espresso
11 replies
I am begining to think its me
I keep sending traffic to offers and no luck
I sent over 2,0000 people, targeted traffic to a dieting offer and no sales
I sent people to an email submit offer and no submits

I am now trying something else basically a free membership site thing
Only set up it last night and while its early days its not looking good 500+ clicks and no sign ups

I have made money from CPA before
My very first campaign I started making cash within 24hrs (email submits)
but over the last few months nothing

      I am mainly using CPC
      although I got some CPM from adperium.com
      Was direct linking and got a CTR of 0.32%
      But no sign ups

      For the dieting offer I mentioned I sent traffic via Bing and also direct buys on buysellads.com

      I have designed a LP for the offer but havent tested it yet

      It is just so frustrating the last conversions I was making with CPA was with 7search but was told to stop sending traffic via them

      I have tried various methods but nothing works
      The odd thing is I seem to be OK with Cickbank but cant get CPA and maxbounty to convert

        Are you taking any specific angle for converting your traffic to conversions? How are you targeting?

        It's not abnormal for it to be like this when starting, make sure you are tracking everything and if you are using ppc weed out non-converting keywords

    I think you've tried PPV too?

    It could be a million reasons, keywords, targeting, ads, cheap traffic, crap traffic etc.

    Sometimes we seek the cheapest traffic we can find when we should be paying a bit more to succeed. Most don't like doing that which is why they end up frustrated.

    They key is to use a landing page, then build a relationship before just pushing a offer on them

    You should start using landing pages. They are a must.

    But that's why if you are sure you have high quality and targeted traffic, you definitely need your own landing page and lead capture for your own testing purposes to know if your traffic is converting.

    I won't name any particular CPA network, but many of the "easy ones to get accepted into" are sneaky.

    I have had the problem of nothing or very few conversions when I know my personal numbers of what is converting. It's easy for the network to blame "it's your traffic", but often times you may not be actually compensated for your conversions.

    There was one particular offer I tested, which two different CPA networks had the same exact offer. I promoted the offer from both networks. I used the same creative, same landing page and same traffic. One network (the good one) says I am converting at 8-12%. but the other, less than a quarter percent when I sent roughly the same amount of clicks to each ad.

    I know people on here don't like to talk about this, but most of these supposedly highly reputable and newbie friendly CPA networks aren't the most trustful and not always going to pay you for all your leads and sales.

    If I could recommend a good CPA network to be part of, I am going to say join Clickbooth. But to be honest, they are not the easiest network to get accepted into. Especially if you are new and can't prove to them you are a fit for their offers.

    Might just be a poorly-converting offer.
