Why Adf.ly Traffic IS REALLY GOOD !!!

Your success with ad.ly traffic is not surprising considering your niche. Probably the people that called ad.ly traffic junk promoted products in the internet marketing niche. It could work but with a network such as ad.ly stuff related to music and entertainment should perform better.

I am a frequent user of videobull.com, they pretty much make everything go through a adf.ly ad page, and I never look at those ads they all suck and are annoying. HOWEVER, anytime it serves a music ad, I almost always watch the music video.

I would love it if they just opted into a list lol. You may be on to something here

I have been playing with Adf.ly for about a year.

I use Worldwide traffic and Proxy traffic, which is dirt cheap.

The majority of the traffic delivered by adf.ly is from India and Singapore.

I have broken even several times with it using CPA offers, but I have never found the big money reward.

I have tried strictly consumer offers, also without big returns.

I tried MMO offers, and never found sales or subscribers with it.

I have been using it mostly to generate social media shares, likes and mentions for strictly consumer-oriented websites.

Then two weeks ago, I found an ad format that really surprised me, which generated real traffic and subscribers in the MMO niche. I have yet to see if I can convert that traffic via the mailing list, because I got the subscriptions to an existing list by accident.

In order to truly test that traffic for conversions, I need to get those folks on a clean list, then test that list specifically for conversions.

I put together a clean list to test this traffic all the way down the list, but I am not far enough into that test yet to see if I can make a profit with it. I am intrigued to see if this method will actually produce the kind of results I need to buy as much adf.ly traffic as I can get my hands on.

I might be a fool, but I believe every person using the Internet wants to buy something. I just have to figure out how to use interrupt marketing to win their attention now, to get them to take a small step in my direction and perhaps larger steps towards me later.

With adf.ly traffic, people will not be ready to buy now, because I have jumped in their path on their way to something totally different. So, if I can get them to like my page on Facebook or sign up to my mailing list, then I can start having the conversation with them later about those things they do want to buy.

Yes I`m totally agree with you Mindz that when it comes to use Adfly, it`s better to promote some offers not in money making niche like dating niche. I have tested it last week and i received some good results and 34 people signed up on my landing page

Good stuff tpw. Conversions would be my concern as well did I miss it or did you get that traffic you found to convert?

Interesting stuff. Yeah because the traffic is not coming from a specific niche (I thought they were going to do that at some point?) it's hard.. I guess your offer would have to be pretty general and appeal to a wide audience to find success.

Adfly traffic still junk, you just happened to be in a niche that worked for you. I am sure there are other niches it can convert for but for what most marketers are looking for, it's just junk. Most of that traffic are on their way to another site, so most don't bother breaking that connection to click an ad.

There's no doubt about that, this is a niche that will convert any traffic, as long as they are horny :p

Are you serious lol...Anyway good on you that Ad.fly is working for you

I was only messing with you, I tried adfly a little with no success, but not enough to know for sure

All B.S aside, Adfly has the potential to be a power house in the traffic game, but WE HAVE TO KNOW WHERE THE TRAFFIC IS COMING FROM!!!

The people seeing your ad have clicked a link and are going somewhere, and theres a good chance they have clicked an affiliate link. If adfly had an option for people who used it, where they have to click what kind of content the link will be added to (Health, cooking, entertainment for example), then we could target our ads and make a killing.

As it is now, it is a guessing game. You can expect to covert an enlarge your penis ad, when someone is on their way to purchase a bible, WE HAVE TO KNOW WHERE THE TRAFFIC IS COMING FROM

If adfly could do that, then they would make a killing in ad money, and we would too

Yeah, if adf.ly would simply sort traffic by topic, it would be an absolute gold mine.

If I knew that the people clicking were following a link related to "picking your nose", then I would know that I should be selling boxes of tissues to them. :p

I used to this this traffic was junk but now I'm looking into adf.ly as well as some PTC sites for paid survey offers. I have tried promoting these w/ PPC in the past but found that the traffic is just too expensive to be getting $1.00 commissions. Perhaps adf.ly is better match as it is cheap and mainly people looking for something to do, or looking to get something for nothing (lots of file sharing traffic too).

Any traffic is good considering you can make it profit for you and is profitable. Even if you only get $20 sale and it only cost $15 to get that sale, it's still a $5 profit. Not a huge profit margin but most will tell you that at the end of the say if you made a profit, no matter how little, it better than a loss.

adf.ly now blocked in India

Well someone told me that they used to have adf.ly traffic coming to their blogger blog and when they applied for a Google Adsense account, their application was rejected with a message that said "Your website has traffic coming from untrusted sources and hence, your Adsense account was disapproved.

I only used the us and uk traffic plus worldwide... better results for me than proxy

Just purchased $5 of Wordwide and Proxy traffic to try (8,000 total impressions). Even if I get 5-10 signups to my free list, then I more than made out IMO.

Sure the conversion would be hella low, but I'm not looking at the number of impressions per signup as I am the cost per conversion. That's what matters anyway.

There is no such thing as 'junk traffic' - only junk offers.

Umm, when i see fly, ad, bit, I don't click. Just saying.

@Brian 5-10 signups has been my experience as well. I have even had people email me and ask me "what is wordpress?" So I guess the lesson is stick to MMO offers

Makes sense. You know I was just watching a video where someone is getting $4 for every 1000 impressions of his banner ad on his page.

It seems to me paying $1 for 1000 visitors would be good arbitrage, but obviously they would know it's adf.ly as well. Got me thinking though.

I've tried adf.ly a year back and it had some excellent conversion rates for an opt in list although most of the opt in didn't double confirm the opt in.

It was for a consumer niche and averaged around 0.10/opt-in (about 10 opt in for every 1000) which is fairly good though not very responsive. It also largely depended on your geographic targeting for the traffic; it seems International traffic converted better than US.

There is indeed potential in Adf.ly traffic though, much more than most other redirect ads network. (Tried other network and Adf.ly had been the top performer so far)

One thing that keeps surprising me over and over again is things like this, where a particular strategy will either stop working or die down, or lose effectiveness in the Internet Marketing niche but will still stay strong in other niches.

I remember last year for a few months there were a ton of threads about people complaining about OTO's and how they are so overused.

And in the IM niche yes they are. But from my personal testing I was still getting great results from them in other niches.

Same with webinars, I saw and heard people talk about how they were losing their power, but according to my numbers, (in other niches) they were still going strong.

So I agree with the OP, test your traffic sources in other niches, and in addition to that test other parts of your business, and other strategies in other niches.

Just because we have seen certain strategies over and over again, doesn't mean other niches have.

I used it once, and it turned out to be completely unresponsive list - most were from Bangladesh and India as I chose worldwide traffic.

Well done on your story though.

Sign ups for what? Sales of what? Your music?

Please post your exact test results.

is it really that good?

The only junk is on their mindset. I almost 4 years using adf.ly and I'm still happy with the conversion.

Exactly ^^^ I been using it .... works fine for me

Not to say adfly traffic is just for everyone. But there's definitely much better traffic sources out there. Don't go for cheap traffic go for quality traffic. That's where the money is.
