Case Study: Push Traffic from Trending.Bid + World Of Tanks (SOI) = +122%ROI

Hi, friends. In this case, I’ll show that gaming offers can be more than profitable. I’m talking about World Of Tanks [SOI] MultiGeo at OfferGate affiliate network (signing up with my referral link will support my channel and blog).

Attention! This offer is making a profit right now (Check statistics at the end of the article). With my bid and Ad frequency, it shows ROI 100%+. Also, you pay for traffic in rubles and get payouts in US dollars, so with current conversion, it’s even more profitable.

Short Summary

In Trending.Bid I’ve spent 51575.73₽ (around 850 USD with old conversion) from 15 October 2019 to 23 March 2020. In OfferGate I’ve earned with this offer (including waiting payments) 1708.12USD.

All this money I used to top-up Trending.Bid – because I have a lot of campaigns in this network. So it is 114534.85 rubles (including changing of conversion for different periods). ROI is +122.07%.

How I chosen offer and traffic source

I choose Trending.Bid because of two main reasons:
1) When you top-up Trending.Bid with your OfferGate.Pro earnings you’ll get an extra 10% bonus. That’s convenient – your chances to break even or have positive ROI from the start are higher.
2) I’m buying desktop traffic in TrB for a long time (since January 2019 I think). That’s why I have a large Black List.

Why I’ve chosen World Of Tanks [SOI] as an offer?
1) I know that there is a lot of high-quality desktop traffic in TrB – that’s why desktop offer.
2) World Of Tanks is a well-known game, especially in RU and CIS region (Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, etc.). People recognize it, so it should be easy to advertise.
3) The payment was in USD (1.6 USD per lead), and for SOI (registration without confirmation).

Settings for push campaigns and creatives

1) Title. That’s easy. [Geo]-[Offer Name], sometimes I add device type if campaign targeted only on Desktop or Mobile.

2) Postback. You must enter some text in the “lead title” field, if this field will be blank you will not see any data. So I enter something like CPA – it’s not important what to type in this field. The price I don’t enter, I’m sending it through tracker or affiliate network.
Copy postback URL “http://passfixx.com/lead/dspsl/lead1?trkId=${trackid}” and add it to your affiliate network.

In this case, open OfferGate website – menu in the left – tools – Postback URL – Add New – Choose source (TrB or your name for trending bid) – Choose offer (World Of Tanks) – Check goal – In Step 3 Click on All Templates – TrendingBid.

3) Limits. I set an initial ad campaign budget as a number of creatives*CPA. So for World Of Tanks, I placed 5 (number of creatives) * 90 rubles (approximately 1.6 USD in the middle of Oct).

Unique impressions I limit as 1 for 1 user in a day. First, I like to create multiple campaigns targeted on profitable countries (offers from the same vertical or even from different verticals). I don’t like to increase my bid. So, the audience sees each of my campaigns once a day or even not see.

It’s good also because if you’re promoting not Cash On Delivery/Casino/Betting, a user sees not so many ads from competitors. If you don’t believe me try to push allow on a website with cinema or series)).

My default settings for creatives in TrB.

1) Title. Short offer name – number of creative – Region (if it’s not main) – Limits (if they exist).

I’ll explain. First creative I named WoT1 – because region RU+CIS is main (for this campaign) and I didn’t add anything to the name of this creative. But its copy for the rest of the countries was named as WoT1-NotCIS-RU-RU – all regions except RU and CIS – Russian language. Creatives for New Year holidays was named WoT-10-NG, Because I wanted to stop them when holidays come to the end.

2) Region. I add all regions that Offer accepts. For World of Tanks, I separate on RU+CIS and other regions. With the same settings.

3) Browsers. I don’t change anything. We see in stats that Amigo Brower shows the lowest eCPC and I can turn it off. But ROI is above zero, so…

4) Operation Systems – I added Desktop Only, but somehow there are Android in stats. I can say that eCPC for Linux and macOS even higher than for Windows (based on statistics). If offer accepts desktop and mobile traffic I prefer to start work with the desktop. Main reason CTR for Desktop traffic is higher in 3-5 times.

5) Age of subscription. I buy all the subscriptions. In theory, this can be a mistake, because even on the 7th-day user should get banner blindness.

My wife subscribed to some cinema site, I took the tablet in hands 3 times and after that turned off all notifications – from all sites, block opportunity to subscribe, bock Chrome notifications.

In ad networks with macros for subscription age, I see that conversion rate for old subscriptions not always lower than for young ones. And the final conversion cost can be lower. So, I buy ad impressions for all subs. Sometimes in the beginning, I set up an initial bid lower in 2-3 times to buy older subs for a lower price.

In the best-case scenario, you should make copies of your creatives for different sub age to optimize your ad spend.
But it should be important for big traffic volumes.

6) Language. It depends on the region. For WoT offer, I choose “all” for the RU+CIS region (Russian is pretty popular in these territories), but for dating campaigns, I’m setting up only the same language as my creative.

7) Category of traffic source. I never touch this setting. I have big doubts about сredibility of this information.

8) Schedule. I don’t touch it. Change it according to the schedule of your offer (for Cash On Delivery or Crypto offers).

9) Sources. I add all of them (all CPM), support recommends to make one copy of your creative for each ssp. If you spend $$$ it makes sense.

10) Blacklist and White list. I have Big Black List, that I’m using for all my desktop campaigns and another one for mobile campaigns. This is a questionable decision but my goal isn’t to make the biggest number of conversion. My goal is to achieve the best ROI with an available budget. If you want BL ask it in our Telegram chat.

11) Pricing Model – I always choose CPM. Back in days, CPC wasn’t available. But the reason is that the system works with CPM. When you mace creative with CPC bid, it will try to determine CPM value and again and again (if we assume, that your CTR will change). So, I’m pretty sure that creative with CPM model will get more views that its clone with CPC model because the system should count CTR risks in CPM calculation. For the CIS region, I set up an initial bid as 0.5 rubles, for RU 0.9 rubles. In the end, I set up a bid for top creatives as 1.2 rubles (it’s greedy). I understand, that in this case, I can increase the bid on a half.

12) Ad Impressions Frequency. I start with 1 impression in 14 days, if creative shows good ROI (over 50%) I increase impressions frequency to 1 in 7 days.

Creatives
1) As all STM guides say when you test a new offer you should use 2 landing pages, 5 creatives. I follow this plan. When I create a new campaign, I try to make 5 different angles (but regularly it comes to 5 variations of the same angle).

World Of Tanks is a game offer and a well-known brand, so I have used the logo in different variations as an icon, for the main image I used images from google (arts).
From the first 5 creatives, 2 show the best result, and they brought almost all the money. Best creative I’ll not show, but it has a minimum difference with the second one. This is a translation of creatives on Russian.

Headline (H): Attention Fighter!
Description (D): We need you. Sign up and fight!

And here is 3 not so successful creatives:

H: It’s time to play in Tanks!
D: Legendary game is waiting for you!

2) Once in 3 weeks, I renewed the blacklist and after 1.5 months I decided to try new angles. With erotic content.
And this brought me another 2 profitable creatives:

H: Girls in Tanks have big Guns
D: Take your own Tsar-Cannon. Sign-Up!

And 3 bad

H: This is the last set for a battalion
D: Tankman, sign-up and take the fight!

3) New Year was coming so I expect traffic growth and work under creatives again. I made another 3 creatives. All of them were good.

H: 🔥 Add fire to the holidays 🔥
D: 👉 Set fire to the asses of the enemies! 👈

Now the most exciting part. Stats

I’ve spent in Trending.Bid 51575.73₽ (15.10.19-23.03.20)
I’ve earned in OfferGate (including waiting): $1429.85+$278.27=$1708.12
ROI (all USD with internal OfferGate conversion to RUB): (114534.85₽-51575.73₽)100%/51575.73₽ = +122.07% And if we count that all money I used to top up Trending Bid (to get 10% extra bonus): (114534.85₽1.1-51575.73₽)*100%/51575.73₽ = +144.27%

Conclusions:
1) Even if an offer isn’t “fresh” it can make profit for you.
2) If you have access to the SOI gaming offer – you should test it. Offers with Simple conversion are easy to optimize.
3) Gaming offers (and there are more than 30 of them in OfferGate) – good vertical to work with In terms of COVID-19. Payment in USD ad spend in rubles, so I don’t see any reasons to not test these offers.

How to failure in CPA marketing with ROI ~250% step by step guide

Hi, guys. I’m always try to be honest with you, so this is my post of my greedy stuoidity and pain)).

I’ve successful campaigns on Mexico for offer AmigosVias in CPAmatica. I like this kind of offers – low payment, unsaturated geo, non-adult offer page. Offer accepted Mobile and Desktop traffic + any registrations from 18+ users (usually payment depends on age + sometimes for users 18-30 y.o. you’ll not get paid).

I’ve found this offer most simply – I just asked my affiliate manager what offers are good for push traffic right now. She gives me 4 options. I’ve tested them 2 weren’t profitable, one was near break-even line and the last one was AmigosVias. I ran campaigns on MegapuSh.

AmigosVias statistics for MegapuSh campaigns

I’m always trying to find unsaturated countries or slices of traffic. So, I start with Desktop and 4 campaigns were profitable from the start. Angle was the same for all creatives – mimicry for native dialog with pretty girl. Here is one of them.

Sample of dating creative for AmigosVias – Mexico

Ok, let’s go to the numbers. I’ve used for this offer MegapuSh and PropellerAds. In PA total AdSpend 60 USD and Revenue 155 USD, in MP 82.89 USD AdSpend and 100.4 USD Revenue.

Statistics of mobile ad campaign at PropellerAds for AmigosVias

AmigosVias campaign statistics for Desktop Push Ads Campaign At PropellerAds

So where is failure? This offer has been stopped at 08 January, I was greedy with my regular strategy – 1 impression per 14 days (336 hours). When I’ve received the warning that this offer will be stopped, I’ve changed setting to 1 impression per 24 hours, but it was too late)). My conclusions: first – I should always try to scale profitable campaigns, especially if overall ROI is higher than 200%; second – I should always try successful offers in all push networks with what I’m working.

Thanks for your attention, hope that this post will help you not repeat my mistake.

Ho ho Holidays and traffic arbitrage

Hi, friends. Happy holidays to all of you. Let’s talk about traffic arbitrage (CPA marketing) on holidays. Some of my and your colleagues stop ad campaigns on holidays. There are obvious reasons to do that: 1) they want to get rest and not take control over campaigns; 2) they work with verticals sensitive to holidays (for example my results in dating in New Year’s Eve (31 Dec – 1 Jan) is worth than in regular days or weekends. Also, fewer new campaigns get started in holidays (fewer moderators in ad networks + fewer affiliate marketers work in Holidays).

Video version traffic arbitrage (CPA marketing) on holidays

I look at that as an opportunity. I’m buying more traffic, this traffic would be of higher quality for the same bid. As you see for the same campaign from 26 to 29 Dec there were 1800 clicks with medium (M) activity, 10000 clicks with low (L) activity, and almost zero with high (H) activity. As you see from 30 Dec to 6 Jan I’ve received 10550 clicks with L activity, 3150 with M, and 150 with H. So, the proportion of M and H activities traffic is higher as I expected.

Amount of Push traffic by zone activity from 26 to 29 of Dec in PropellerAds

Traffic volume from 30 Dec to 6 Jan in Push format propeller ads by zone activity

Also, the conversion ratio even higher in holidays for this campaign. But this could be an accident, cause I’ve launched this campaign only on Dec 26. That’s why while I was turning off not working creatives and zones, CR was lower.

And the same situation on other campaigns, CR on 31 Dec was lower, but on 1st Jan and till today (6th) it’s equal or even better than usual. Thanks for your attention. If you have any question ask them in commentaries to this post.

Free traffic for gambling and betting affiliate programs [Part 2] [Video Content]

I will show how you can accumulate traffic for betting and gambling affiliate offers with the help of video content (some ways without a video camera and even microphone) for free. If you have any questions, you can ask them in comments, Telegram group or Facebook group.

Video version

List of easy-to-get-approve affiliate networks with gambling and betting offers in 1st part of this article. What content can we do to generate iGaming traffic?

I. Compilations of wins

Casino winnings compilations as one of the ways to get free traffic for gambling and betting offers

This is what a lot of guys do with different levels of realization. Where you could find clips for these videos? I’m a pretty lazy person, so I use TwitchTv.

Where to find clips with casino and slots streamers wins
Slots category at TwichTV
How to download video clip from Twitch

This is very convenient because there are a lot of clips, that are ready to use. Just sort them by language, choose 30 days for languages with a small number of clips, and 7 days range for clips in English, and other languages with a huge amount of clips.

I use VSDC free video editor and it’s enough to make from 5-10 clips one and create Call To Action bar “Blablabla bonus link in the description”.

This method isn’t fast, but it will help you to create an audience of gamblers. In the end, you’ll have a long run moneymaking story. You could find success stories if you’ll search “Wins in Slots”, “Wins in online casino” in YT, one of them Big Win from Joker. As you could see this guy use PlayAttack affiliate network, I think the reason is that a lot of streamers play in casinos from this network + they accept pretty much all possible countries.

What to write in the description, headline and tags – use google keyword research tool + analyze your competitors. I use a headline like “Huge wins in online casinos | Streamers are winning at slots | etc. ” – and google translate if I’m creating compilation with non-English clips. In description you could mention streamers nicname, slot, casino and ammount of win – this is helpfull for viewer + additional keywords. In tags pretty much the same + general keywords (“huge wins in online casino”, “biggest wins in slots”, etc.) In best case, you should do different channels for different languages.
Pros of this method: you don’t need a camera, micro, anything. You’ll accumulate a gambling audience.
Cons: it will take a lot of time to get first deposits, traffic is rather cold.

II. Guides and How To videos

Guides and how to videos as free traffic source for gambling and betting affiliate networks

Here we just use Google Ads keyword research tool. For all brands from your casino and betting offer list, you should collect long-tail keywords. Let’s try to do this for 1xBet.

1xbet mobile search volume — 1xbet mobile – search volume

Ok “1xbet mobile” there are 74 000 searches per month, so you could create a short clip about “How to download and install 1xBet mobile” – and give your affiliate link in the attached comment or description, or even provide *.apk file with your own affiliate link.

I use OBS studio to create these videos, it’s very simple. Headline and description literally self written by your keyword and its long-tail brothers.

Pros: Hot brand traffic with the highest conversion rate.
Cons: You’ll need at least a microphone or do all of this with google voice (or analogues). It’s about creating a lot of small how-to clips – a game of numbers.

III. No-human streams

No human stream as a source of free traffic for gambling and betting affiliate offers

Actually with this method I wasn’t succeed – I invest something like 150 USD in bots (views + chat (chat is really important it should looks real)) and get only one FTD with revenue 40 USD.

Idea is very simple – open slot in browser in second screen, play in demo mode and set-up OBS to stream this screen. Of cource you can do that with one screen, but it will be less convinient.

Use banners under stream to advertise casinos + chat bots to post a link once in 2-3 minutes (depends of your bot viewers activity).

I was running this for 10 days (but bots were for 30 days), so if I proceed, make expiriments with languages and time of broadcasting I think it could be profitable. For example most paying audience is German players and there are not so much streamers on German.

All you have to do – set up banners, chat bots, fake veiwers and commentators. Than just start broadcasting process every day. For slot game automatization you could use auto spins options (it’s avaliable in all online casinos).

Pros: You could catch a real highroller and build some audience.

Cons: This free traffic is pretty expensive, take some time to set up and some resources to maintain it.

IV. Gambling strategies

Gambling strategies as a traffic source for gambling affiliate networks

Actually for this is like to eat shit, I don’t do this. In my opinion this is bad way and low qality traffic.

V. Betting tips

Video betting tips as a free source of traffic for betting affiliate offers

There are a lot of room to create content – but you need to be en expert. Or find an expert. You need to be consistent, there could be another monetization model – paid tips (with success rate over 80%). I’ve tryed this in my own way – I was translating predictions from russian to english and making videos. I do that for 30 days, but was not succeed maybe the reason is my English level, maybe something else.

That’s all. Thank you for your attantion, if you have any questions – ask them in comments below this post.

Free traffic for gambling and betting affiliate programs [Part 1] [Mobile Apps]

Hi, there. I hope that you’re doing well. In this post, I want to talk about triple magic unicorn – free traffic, gambling and betting affiliate networks, and passive income.

Video version

First of all free traffic is not free. It always costs you at least time, but more often money as well. The second – you could have a passive income if you work with a revenue share model, but it will be stable only on a big amount of players. Plus it takes some time to grow enough. The third – I strongly recommend revenue share, because in this variant it doesn’t matter how much is FTD (first time deposit), or other KPIs (second deposit for ex.) – you share profit and risk, so you wouldn’t be in a situation when yours payout will be canceled and your affiliate account will be banned.

Today I gonna show you my results and my experience with gambling and betting traffic from mobile applications. It would be some kind of ASO (AppStore Search Optimization) traffic. Let’s start from sweet part – stats.

My monthly income from 1xBet — My monthly “passive income” from 1xBet

My monthly statistycs from WelcomePartners

So what I have done: 1) Collect keywords related to casinos and bookmakers; 2) Registered at affiliate networks with RevShare offers for this brands; 3) Create mobile WebView apps (maybe with some extra content) for each brand; 4) Register developer accounts in 3rd party stores, go through pre-approval process (if it exists); 5) Load applications in 3rd party stores and on fil exchange sites (with search engine).

Let’s try to go through this process.

1)Keywords. I just search in google top-100 bookmakers and top-100 online casinos. My logic was pretty simple – if they are in the ratings – they are popular and they have an affiliate network. Then all these brands I have added to google keywords tool – to estimate search volume.

2) Then I’ve started looking for affiliate offers for top-20 bookmakers and top-20 casinos (top 20 in terms of search volume). In that time I’ve preferred aggregators than direct affiliate networks – because when you one-man team it’s much more easy to work with 2-5 aggregators than with 40 direct affiliate networks. Some networks have rejected me, but in these, I’ve successfully finished a sign-up process and get access to all revenue share gambling and betting offers that they have:

A. WelcomePartners – they have a network of very famous in CIS region casino brands (Vulkan, Joycasino, GMS Deluxe, etc.)

B. PlayAttack – they have 6 casino brands – popularity growth because of special promotions that oriented on streamers

C. PaySale – mostly because of 1xBet starting RS 22,5% VS 15% in direct affiliate network

D. AlfaLeads – a lot of gambling and betting offers but most of them are CPS (not revenue share).

E. 3snet and Advertise – actually not sure could you use them or not with google translate – but there are a lot of offers for popular brands + fast approve. Actually, Revenue Share percentage for 1xBet in these Networks higher than in PaySale but I’m not sure about how convenient for you it will be to use them with google translator.

3) If you are ready to create an app in Android Studio – just sea rch “how to create WebView application” – for 3rd party stores it would be enough. File share networks usually don’t have any requirements or moderation. Also, you could use AppsGeyser it’s very easy, free (but with ads) and I’ve created some apps in it before I’ve started my Android Studio experiments.
When you have created your first app try to upload it.

CatappultIo - 3rd party Android app store — CatappultIo – 3rd party Android app store

4) Register at 3rd party stores, I recommend to try cattapult.io (previously it was called Aptoide), there is a decent amount of traffic. Upload at file exchange services with search engines (for example 4shared).
If upload goes without problems repeat it for all brends that you’ve collected.

When you upload your *.apk files don’t forget to add headlines and descripription. I just grab them from top-10 of google search sites.

That’s all if you have any questions – leave a comment below. Thanks for reading, and have a huge profit.

How I’ve bought auto generated site and pay back it less then in 3 months

Hi, there! Today I want to show you not exactly the case study. It’s more like an example of short time opportunity.

It was August 2018 and I have some extra money to invest in some internet traffic sources. I’ve decided to buy a site. I have something like 400 USD on this, so I was looking for a niche-specified underestimated site (for example something in short term loans niche) or site with auto-generated content.

Video version on YouTube

I thought like this – I have not so much time or money so it should work as is, or with an small amount of work on it (rewrite some content or re-design, etc.). I have almost 0 experience in SEO and all of this, because of that I’ve preferred a site with proven traffic but weak monetization.

When you buy a site – its price usually estimates buy investment retention. For good strong projects, it’s about 35 X site monthly profit, for autogenerated sites it could be 3-6 months. Great thing was that not all of the webmasters were using push subscriptions as monetization. I don’t exactly know why. Some of them were afraid about behavioral factors to decrease maybe, somebody just didn’t know.

This one factor creates a window of opportunities – I have some data from the traffic that I was buying from pop ad networks (to collect push subs) and I understand average profit that each push sub could give me. Ok, enough words let’s have a look at 1 of the sites that I’ve bought in that period.

I’ve bought джастклик.рф for 85 USD in September 2018 there are 400 visitors in a day (average). And it gives something around 30-60 USD per month. That’s not a huge amount of money, but all that I’ve done – spend 1-2 hours to choose a site, 2 hours to move it on my VDS, 1 hour to add push subscription monetization. And after all, it has made ~550 USD out of 85USD + 2USD in the domain name.

This site still getting views from Google, so that’s not the end of the story. There are always some great opportunities to invest money or create a side income. We just shouldn’t afraid to try something new.

Easiest way to get first profit in affiliate marketing – Blueprint [ROI ~220%]

Hi, guys, today I’m gonna show you one of the easiest way (in my opinion) to start affiliate marketing. So let’s talk about evergreen vertical – adult dating. I think that this is the best vertical to start, because even without any experience you could create good creatives, and if you find a good traffic source you would be profitable. Also, there are a lot of CPA (cost per action) offers with free registration – so it’s easier to get conversions and make optimization.

Ok, I want to show you push ads network (Trending.Bid) with lowest CPM bid I’ve ever seen. For now, it is 0,01₽ (0,00016 USD) of course you couldn’t buy tier 1 geo for this price. But for all countries, there is not so saturated auction like in other networks, for example, I have bought Poland mobile traffic with an average CPC of ~0,2 US cents. Current volume and bid for each country you could see on the “news” page.

Trending bid - volumes and bids for countries — “Top bid can cover up to 90% of traffic, Min bid can cover up to 10%. Bids are counted for 1000 impressions. Average CTR for desktop is 1.5% for mobile – 1%.”

As you see you could but traffic from Turkey with 0,00032 USD – 3k push ads views for 0,1 US cent. That’s really crazy.

When you work with push ads you should use pre-landers with age verifying (if you want to send visitors to adult offers). Here are some examples of age verification pre-landings.

Your subscription could not be saved. Please try again.

Your subscription has been successful.

Don’t forget to replace all affiliate links ($link1 and $link2) to yours.

I recommend placing your pre-landers on the hosting or VDS that has a low time delay for most of the countries. There is an easy way or right way. If you want to make it easy choose simple hosting (cheaper is better), for example Zomro – starts from 1.25 EUR per month (10 day free trial). If you want to do it in the right way I recommend to use Digital Ocean (if you use my refferal link you’ll get $50 free bonus), choose VDS in Amsterdam or Frankfurt. Droplet for 10-15 USD in a month would be enough for beginning. Another advantage of this hosting is that you could easily scale your VDS when you need – increase SSD or CPU. You should install control panel on it – I recommend Vesta CP – it’s completely free, easy to install and you could create SSL certificates in 2 clicks.

Ok, we’ve decided where to buy traffic, where we should sell it? For now, I use 4 affiliate programs with dating SmartLink – iMonetizeit, ProfitSocial, CPAmatica, LosPollos. CPAmatica has the best non-adult dating SmartLink – I use it for traffic back. It’s important because if a visitor didn’t pass age verification he would be sent to a non-adult offer and will earn some money from these guys.

There is a SmartLink with the best CPM rates for adult dating in iMonetizeIt (or at least I think so). I use this affiliate network for most of the countries. ProfitSocial I use for Poland traffic – conversions up to 1,5 USD. LosPollos I use for tier 3 geos because sometimes you will see high CPS (cost per sale conversions).

Ok. So how to set-up your pre-landing properly. I use one button pre-landings like “Yes, I am 18+” etc. I save my pre-landings in *.php files to send sub ids through pre-landing to an affiliate program. Example of code, that solves this problem:

<?
$link = 'https://pwvnk.easytofuck.com/c/da57dc555e50572d?s1=1341&s2=291284&s3'.$_GET['sub1'].'&s5='.$_GET['sub2'].'&click_id='.$_GET['clickid'].'&j1=1&j3=1';
$link2 = 'http://go.cm-trk2.com/aff_c?offer_id=4178&aff_id=5204'; 
?>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="30;<?print $link2;?>">
<a href="<?print $link;?>

I recommend to set up postback links in affiliate ad networks. Like this – edit SmartLink – S2S postback URL 1 – Copy value from your trending bid ads campaign and paste it in this field.

iMonetizeIt postback settings for trending bid and megapush

Almost the same operation for CPAmatica – go to mainstream SmartLink and paste the value from trending bid ad company.

CPAMatica postback settings for trending bid

Campaign and creative settings. If you’re a newbie and want to make your first profit I recommend starting from not saturated geos, low bids and all subscription age (including push subs that 90+ days on). You could start from Poland, Italy, Germany, Hungary with a bid of 0,6₽-3₽ – Mobile OS – All languages (and duplicate campaigns for desktop OS’s). Also, you could start from all geo except India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan with bid 0,1₽ it also would be profitable.

For campaign I choose 1 impression per user in a day, for creative 1 impression per user in 14 days. So User would see only 1 of my creatives in a day and would see the same creative after 14 days.

About creatives. 1) Be creative – yes you shouldn’t do the same things that all your colleagues do. Spy services could give you some examples but you should change them as much as possible. 2) Create at least 5-7 creatives for each geo. In my experience one of them would be the winner – profitable from the start. If there are no conversions with ad spent that equals to your CPA – stop it. 3) Add new creatives every 1-2 weeks for each of you working geos.

The main idea isn’t new – buy cheap traffic from not restricted sources (pop-up traffic and adult are restricted) to your Adsense site. Is it restricted by Adsense rules? No.

But when we speak about AdSense arbitrage we should track the quality of buying traffic. And of course, if something would be wrong with this traffic google could terminate your account. But Google could do it anyway, so… ))

Push ads tests in august 2019 (ROI up to 495%)

This post is result of my test in Megapu.Sh. I’m a greedy person, so I really like to buy cheap traffic and try to monetize it, also it gives me an opportunity to make more tests.

Desktop push ads – better for tests (just my theory)

Most of all push ads case studies about mobile traffic. That’s because of CR on mobile traffic always higher than on desktop (of course there are some exceptions but whatever). The second reason is that amount of mobile subscriptions higher in 5-200 times. But to make some tests (choose an offer for ex.) desktop would be more comfortable.

So I have made first of all desktop campaigns. If I have positive ROI I create a copy on mobile.

Countries to start

Main idea – buy cheap traffic (CPC 0,1-0,2$) . After that I was looking for countries with rather big desktop audience in MP – 20 mln+ (exception if some of offers goes really well – then OK I could try to make creatives on each and every geo of this offer).

And in your affiliate netowrks should be offers for this geo (for example it’s really difficult to find offers for Afghanistan).

Creatives, countries and offers, that have worked for me

Money amulet

Azerbaijan
Greece
Kazakhstan

Man’s nutra (ACE)

PC game (World Of Tanks)

Azerbaijan, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine,

I’m making creatives by myself for CIS regions or English speaking countries. When it comes to other regions I cut text from landing page, paste it in google translate, find parts that would be good for heading and main message.

Case study: Pop-ad networks + Push subscription offers (still working)

How I had start to work with push-subscriptions offers

I had start full time work with paid traffic in august 2018. I’ve used pop-ad networks with push subcription offers. I had chosen revenue-share model (because long-time ROI higher). I was working with BadBoys.network – best push subscription affiliate program in my opinion. In November they’ve stopped work with affiliates (start use only their own media buying department to collect push-subscriptions).
