Solo Ads Testimonials

20 replies
Hello everyone,

I have joined some Solo Ads Groups in Facebook (one of them: https://www.facebook.com/groups/SoloAdsTestimonials). And what really takes my attention is that, everyone posts positive comments only for their vendors.
I have been checking for 2 weeks the posts, and still haven't seen a single one negative comment.

Anyone has to say something about this?
Are those guys for real good?

Thank you
Genc!

    Watch it! I lost some money fast! I don't think cheap solo's are good. If you really need it, go for over or close to $1!

    I agree with the post above in that you need to be careful with cheap solo ads. Not saying these offers are trash but sometimes common sense will tell you everything you need to know.

    If you have doubts then look else where.

    • I also agree with blueclcl. I've had bad experiences with cheap solo ads under-delivering. There's a difference between getting solo ads dirt cheap and simply getting a good deal/bargain. Watch yourself.

    Cheap solos are not only bad but they probably are not real clicks or at best clicks from "safe list" type subscribers.

    I don't know much about the Facebook site but vendors will always give a good rating lol. Im a member of some good Skype groups. There are the known good names out there. One word of advice, If any one offers you 500 clicks for 20 bucks go buy a Pizza instead

    Being a solo ad provider myself, I've had tons of bad experiences. That's why I offer Solo Ads training in my funnel because a lot people make a lot of mistakes and burn a lot of money.

    Just a few tips...

    - Don't buy a solo ad just because someone was happy with the result. (stats are more important than just a .

    - Ensure testimonials are recent. (Some providers have testimonials that are last year or even more).

    - Don't buy a solo ad if someone is getting 90% Tier 1.

    - Create a separate list in your auto-responder. You might get opt-ins, but if no one is opening your emails, it's most likely to be bot traffic. It's hard to notice at times when you get an average or slightly good opt-in rate, first thoughts is that you'll be happy, but that traffic is mixed in with the rest of your list, so you don't even end up knowing whether it's responsive or not.

    If you need anything else before-hand just let me know or ask here. There are people who know what they're doing, but there's also a ton of people who make mistakes.

    All the best.

    You can get good clicks for 0.35c - 0.50 but a lot of it also depends on how good your funnel is.

    If you check in the testimonials group for the people who consistently get good reviews it is a good place to start. Don't only look for optins, look for traffic producing some sales.

    Once you have done testing with a few sellers you will start to build up your own rolodex of reliable guys.

    Here is a click banking black list group where reviews get posted. Mainly for people banking clicks but if they are bad banking they will be bad sellers.

    Yeah you need to be really careful with solo ads these days, the chances you'll make a profit are very slim. After all, it's fairly logical don't you think? Why would somebody sell clicks for $0,40 for instance if they could make even only $0,50 back? It simply won't happen...

    There are still some good sellers though. However, for most part this is a dying market imo. Too many people have built a list just so they could sell solo ads, and now they all buy solo ads from each other. It's simply not sustainable and also the main reason why you only see positive reviews.

    Yes I agree. You cannot through away on assumption. You have to test things what works or what don't. Test a solo vendor very cautiously. Order as few as possible initially. Check the stat minutely. And yes, your funnel have to be reasonably good!

      Yes agree, finding good vendors is not easy. Test... test... test... until you find and know, of course you need to spend money. This is not recommended to people who are with tight budget.

    So where do you find some legit solo ad vendors?

    Let me first thank you guys for sharing information and experience with us.
    So, from what I read till now, I'd rather spend a little more money and grow up my business faster (and build a better list) than spending less money on a traffic which might be trash.
    In other words, anything less $0.30/click most likely is a bad Solo ad. And anything bigger than $0.50/click most likely will be a good Solo ad (of course there might some exceptions).

      When you do not see ONE single negative thing about any of these Sellers it reminds me of that axiom

    With regard to the solo ad FB group maybe there are only positive
    results because this is the rule of the group:

    A place where you will only find testimonials for solo ad traffic that CONVERTS!

    DO NOT POST a testimonial unless your solo ad generated sales for you

    Just like with other traffic methods, it all comes down to tracking everything. There is some real junk out there. But, there is some decent stuff too. You absolutely need to have a good tracking system where you can track the quality of the traffic (Tier1, robots, proxies, etc), and direct the traffic where you want. I, personally, use clickmagick. I can redirect tier 2 traffic to an offer because I don't want them on my list. I can also redirect past visitors to a page so I am not wasting a click on them coming to my optin page again. At least there is a possibility they may take an offer. And, it can also grade the traffic to give you an idea of the provider is sending you junk or not.

    Look in the blacklist FB groups. You will see plenty of negative testimonials.

    I would never pay under 0.50c per click on a solo anything under that is not usually very good quality traffic with poor conversion it is also very important to have the right funnel system setup and you should track everything you do so you know where your traffic is coming from so getting back to your question should you buy solo ads on positive testimonials I would have to say no.
