Givng up on LeadImpact

Hello Everybody, I have have been testing lead impact for the past 10 days, and it just flat out isn't working. I started off with popup ad asking for a name, email and phone number, and it did not convert at all.

So I came here to the warrior forum for help, and I got a lot of really good advice from some of the members here. I took some advice and tested tons of different landing pages. I tried all kinds of variations, and nothing seemed to change the extremely low conversion rate. I tested at least 500 views for each landing page variation.

First I changed it to only an email submit, no more phone number. I added geo targeting, countdown timers, limited quantity, targeted different urls, tried different images and buttons... and still nothing converts. And it's a free offer.

I called LeadImpact customer service to make sure that I was setting up my ad correctly, such as the window size and the location on the page, and I was assured that I was doing everything correctly. They told me that the ad needs to be placed in the top left corner of the window to be properly viewed by LeadImpact users.

Just in the past few days I have tested thousands of views on what I think are my 2 best landing pages, and I have had 1 person out of several thousand fill out the form. At what point would you give up on this campaign, and move on to another paid traffic source? I know jumping around is one of the biggest mistakes that new marketers make, but at this point I feel like LeadImpact is not going to work for this type of an offer, ever.

Could any of you offer your thoughts, has anyone here ever had success promoting an email submit cpa for a stock market lead with leadImpact or any other ppv source? Here are the main reasons I want to walk away from leadImpact and move on to banner marketing.

-I haven't had any success getting my ad to popup with the instructions that LeadImpact customer service has given me, and i've been trying for a week to see my ad or any competitors ad with no luck, so i really have no idea how it really looks to the users, which is a big problem for me. Maybe their seeing nothing but white space when my ad pops for all I know...

-their keyword approval time is getting worse by the day, the first few days I would get approved within a day, but now any new keywords I submit take 5 days or more to get approval. I feel like they approved my keywords quickly at first so that they could start taking money, but then when I started pouring money in they moved their focus elsewhere.


-There seems to be almost no competition in my niche, stock trading, never a good sign right?

-there is at least a 2 hour delay to run any kind of stats report on their sites

Any thoughts on this warrior forum? I am extremely frustrated!

Thank you for any responses!

    Your sales funnel is the issue, NOT Leadimpact.

    Your campaign management is not right either.

    No competition in this niche, means you're gonna have a hard time...

    Did you already try different niches to see if work?

      If there is no competition means no money because be sure if somewhere is money, competition will be there.
      It all depends on your landing page and offer but also URL's and keyword.
      Maybe you just target root URL's but you need to go deeper, need to go behind the scenes and realize what potential leads need and offer them exact that.
      I have great success with lead impact but with dating offer, German dating offer from MaxBounty.
      When I start with LeadImpact had same problem, I set up a campaign, url's everything, get approved but did not get any impression at all. I realize I do something wrong so I start to study about it.
      I learn a lot here and also in Greedreport what you can find on the net.
      LeadImpact is great PPV network when used correctly.

    if you spent 10 times of the payout amount and there is no convert, you probably need to test another lander or try another different offer.

      I guess that's the problem, I was too stuck on one offer. I wasn't really in the mindset to try out other offers, since this one was an offer that I actually helped create.

    How many different campaigns have you tried? It sounds like you just need to just keep at it and try different things.

      I've tried as many ad variations as I can think of with this one specific campaign, but I can't seem to get any conversions. It would be so helpful if I could see my popups, so that I can check to make sure all of my scripts are working and that my ad is positioned correctly, but no matter what I try I can't get my ad to popup. I was trying to produce a lead for my brothers stock advisory company.

      I think i'm giving up on the stock market niche, it seems like more of a pain than it's worth, and even if I get it working I don't know that I'll be able to scale it to the number of leads that i'll need each week.

      I've been studying the biz opp niche for the past year, and it's where I feel the most comfortable, so I guess it's time to refocus.

      Yeah it's definitely been harder than i thought. I was all stoked going in because I read 1 percent conversion rate should be very possible, but I struggled to even achieve .001%!
