Has the "one cent clicks" thing been overdone?

12 replies
Is it time to to stick a fork in the "one cent click" thing? Seems like every "one cent click" leads to the same methods. "Target CPM" on Facebook or 2nd and 3rd tier PPC companies.

How many times can a "one cent click" be rehashed.

Is there new ways to get "one cent clicks" that nobody knows about

    1 cent clicks are still available and effective as it was 7 years ago. You may want to look into larger networks such as advertising.com

    Mobile traffic usually starts around 0.01 per click.

    You can also pay 0.01 per click if you are paying per impressions and have a high Click through rate.

    Key - your Ad must speak to the user.

    Example : Ad title - Click here to make $100/day Online

    NOT Ad title - make $100 Day Online

    You will notice how much of a difference it makes

    I can get clicks for a penny. However, the quality of this traffic is poor. Most of these clicks are a waste of my time because they are not targeted, but mass market and have very poor conversion. High quality clicks such as those that convert into people buying a house tend to cost me $2 - $5 per click and might cost me approx $200 per sale, but it is worth every penny.

      It may be over done, but it still attracts people. There are people out there looking for any easy way to make money online, even if it is just a cent here and there.

    I am getting 1-5 cent clicks on bing right now!

    The only problem is that the traffic is not converting very well.

    My squeeze page converts at about 50% but only 10% on with bing traffic.

    But since the traffic is so cheap...I am still making money with a 10% optin rate.

    As it is most of the time, you get what you pay for.

    Sure you can get clicks for 1-5 cent but will that traffic convert?

    It's easy to throw around cheap traffic prices without asking the most important question.

    They are all coming from the same group of "people." Dig a little deeper and they all end up in the same place.

    People will *always* want traffic, and they'll *always* want it dirt cheap.

    As long as the USD is the primary monetary value, and as long as marketers want web traffic, you won't see the terms "Penny Clicks" "One Cent Clicks" "Dirt Cheap Traffic" going anywhere.

    Just my $.02. Yes, I have consulted my crystal ball.



    PS: On a serious note, Bing smokes Facebook in terms of Cheap Clicks. Just my layman's hypothesis.

    For me that's nothing more than waste of time and of course "cents". I recently lost more than $200 on such a network and got just 2 leads. The traffic quality is horrible.

    LOL

    Two things here.

    1. Basic economics

    True, one man's junk might be another man's
    treasure, but the man who treasures junk
    probably lives in a dumpy old shack with rusted
    out projects littering the landscape, adorned by
    white porcelain planters to prove he's got a sense
    of humor and aesthetic.

    Cheap is cheap for a reason suckers! If you haven't
    learned this lesson you either deserve to be
    scammed or you just have no business in business.

    2. Advanced marketing

    Because the world is full of fools of course
    people will buy this stuff but the offer has been
    played and by exploring a new angle you can
    keep milking those poor saps until there's
    nothing left of them but maxed out credit cards.

    One-Cent Clicks for Ambulance Chasers and Other Well-Educated Parasites
    How to Get One-Cent Clicks and Make Them Buy Like a Bunch of Rabid Bitches in Fake Gucci

    I guess when people keep biting on the
    same offers it says a lot about the market but
    if the people making these offers were actually
    marketers they'd attempt the slightest bit of
    creativity.

    OK, I've been a little hard on these guys (and
    gals) and it is possible to generate really cheap
    clicks, here and there, but if one focuses on
    cheap I hope they're OK living on cheap too.

    It's the wrong mentality for building a successful
    business IMNSHO.

    The focus SHOULD BE how could I make a
    click worth $5.00?

    Or maybe I'm just an elitist ******* that would
    rather be Nordstroms than Dollar General.

    Most of it is either bot traffic or extremely poor quality. You would be better off learning how to get cheap Facebook clicks. These are much more targeted and convert to the moon and back (well... sometimes.).

    Buy buyers, forget traffic. It's buyers you want. Kaufen the clue is there.
