Has anyone used Ads by Warrior Forum?

I'm thinking of trying them out. $100 for 1 days, any thoughts or experiences? I might try it out for 1 of my WSOs.

    Ads work if your offer is good and sales page converts. So make sure you test your sales page first.

    Also if you see someone using short URL's like Bit.ly, you can add "+" to the end and see how much traffic or clicks they are getting.

      If you're going to a static html page you can also track by

        I haven't tried it but have 2 buddies who have and rave about it. If you have a solid converting offer I don't think you can go wrong here.

      Awesome tip, thanks for that!

      I never use these short URL services so never new you could view those stats.

      Cheers!

    Been wondering this myself, and I have indeed checked the traffic on Bit.ly urls. Seems like most get around 100 visitors/day, meaning it costs around $1/click. Quite expensive in my opinion, but in the end it's all about ROI. Guess I'll have to try it for myself one of these days

      This is why you should send the traffic to a WSO and not an external website. The social proof of the forum means your offer should be converting a lot higher than a regular sales page - I'm talking double digits. So $1/click is nothing compared to how much you can make.

      You'll notice you keep seeing a lot of the same ads day after day - there's a very good reason for that. They wouldn't keep paying the $100 if they were not making money. I've spent a few thousand dollars on those banner ads over the last few months and they have always more than paid for themselves.

        Yep, I've spent, probably around $4,000 or so on the banner ads...well worth it.

    There has recently been a WSO using this as an income, I wasn't convinced but the author (naturally) said they were raking it in :-/

    I've used it and am happy with it. Two out of 3 offers I used it on got a lot of traffic and sales. It really depends on your offer whether or not you will benefit from it.

    I sank thousands of dollars into it sometime ago and yes, I made
    many thousands of dollars more, . So, like has been said here already,
    it depends mainly on the following 2 factors:

    - the POWER of the banner ad itself (is it compelling enough to get the clicks?)
    - the POWER of the offer itself (is it compelling enough to convert the clicks?)

    I'm definitely going to try this once I get my WSO up and running. I think I might do a mix test of going straight to my website and to my WSO. As my product does have a free 7 day trial so that alone should convert pretty well. What do you guys think?

    Sorry not trying to hijack, but I was about to post the same question/thread.

    I have been wondering that myself, I know warrior forum has high number of visitors but $100 seems to be a lot.

    I think if u know what you doing it would pay off. I would hire another ad expert pay him $100 to find out how to post and ad that would pay off

      $100 - $100 = $0. Thus freelancer = no profit.

    I've used it everyday for almost 2 months straight. So that's $6,000. And I made over $30,000. Not bad for $6,000 investment, eh? But just like every warrior said, your salescopy needs to convert. If not, you'll just end up wasting your hard earned money.

      What happened to the little ads that were at the bottom of each page of the forum? They looked a bit like adsense ads and the price for those was $40 per week. I was putting an offer together and wanted to try those and now they're gone.

        They are dead as a dodo. Not exactly sure why..either the ROI wasn't there for the advertisers, or Allen decided to do away with them for another reason.

        You might try a signature in your image...I haven't done that yet, but I'm getting ready to. $60 for an entire year isn't much of a risk.
