  • Case Study: Pop-Under Networks + Push Subscription Offers [2018-2020]

    I started with this offer because it has the easiest flow – the user just needs to click ‘allow.’ So, optimization in pop-ad networks comes down to creating black and white lists and finding the best landing page. This means that 100-300 clicks per source are enough to make decisions.

    Push-subscribtions affiliate networks

    After BadBoys closed I had switched my traffic to 3 different push-ads affiliate networks:

    1) AdProfex (Revenue-share only)
    2) Offergate(Revenue-share and CPA)
    3) Evadav (Revenue-share and CPA)

    Evadav and Offergate are best for me (highest RPM (revenue per mille visitors)). I’ve stoped work with realpush a mounth ago, because profit dicreased in 3 times.

    There are many other affiliate networks, but these work for me.

    Pop-Ad Networks

    This offer was my top priority for six months, during which I tested more than 50 pop-ad networks with minimum deposits. Unfortunately, most of these networks yielded extremely low returns on investment.

    For the initial tests, I used the CPL (Cost Per Lead) model to estimate potential profitability. After gathering sufficient data, I transitioned to using my own metrics, segmented by countries, devices, browsers, and traffic losses (RPM across various segments).

    In 2020 I was buying traffic from the following seven networks:

    1. VisitWeb (minimum deposit: 100₽ ~ $1.50)
    2. Adsterra (minimum deposit: $100)
    3. PlugRush (minimum deposit: $25)

    If you register in push subscription affiliate networks using my referral link, I’ll share my blacklists that I used before transitioning to whitelists. To get them, leave a comment below saying “Need blacklists” along with the email you use for affiliate networks, and I’ll send the blacklists directly to that email.

    Easiest Network to Start
    In my opinion, VisitWeb is the easiest pop-ad network for beginners. Traffic prices start at $0.50 per 1,000 visitors, and the minimum deposit is only 100 rubles (~$1.50). The minimum traffic limit for campaigns is 1,000 visitors, allowing you to create blacklists with a small budget and begin collecting data effectively.

    Traffic Back for Adult Offers

    For adult traffic, I use the following dating affiliate networks, utilizing their smartlinks:

    1. Traforce
    2. iMonetizeIt
    3. CPAMatica
    4. ProfitSocial

    I use these networks sequentially in my tracker, rotating them for better efficiency. If you don’t have a tracker, you can start with any one of these networks.

    P.S.
    If you want to create your own campaigns to collect push subscriptions, keep the following in mind:

    1. Conversion Rate (CR) on mobile devices is always better than on PC.
    2. CR on Google Chrome outperforms other browsers consistently.
    3. ROI with revenue-share models is always higher than with CPA models.
    4. If you start buying traffic under a revenue-share model, you should commit to at least 2–4 weeks to achieve positive cash flow (where your profit exceeds your ad spend).
    5. Don’t forget to implement your own traffic back—this can provide an additional 10–20% profit.

  • How to Fail in CPA Marketing with ROI ~250%: A Step-by-Step Guide

    Hi, guys.
    I always try to be honest with you, so here’s a post about my experience of greedy stupidity and pain. 😅

    I had successful campaigns in Mexico for the AmigosVias offer in CPAmatica. I like these kinds of offers – low payouts, unsaturated geos, and non-adult offer pages. The offer accepted both mobile and desktop traffic, with payouts based on registrations from users aged 18 and above (though payments often depended on age, and sometimes users aged 18–30 didn’t qualify for payouts).

    I found this offer in the simplest way possible: I just asked my affiliate manager what offers were performing well for push traffic at that moment. She gave me four options. I tested them all: two weren’t profitable, one was near the break-even line, and the last one—AmigosVias—was a winner. I ran the campaigns on MegapuSh.

    I’m always on the lookout for unsaturated countries or specific slices of traffic. So, I started with desktop campaigns, and four of them turned out to be profitable right from the beginning.

    The angle I used was the same for all creatives – mimicking a native dialog with a pretty girl. Here’s an example of one of them:

    Now, let’s talk numbers. For this offer, I used MegapuSh and PropellerAds.

    • PropellerAds:
      Total Ad Spend: $60
      Revenue: $155
    • MegapuSh:
      Total Ad Spend: $82.89
      Revenue: $100.40

    So, where did I fail?

    The offer was stopped on January 8th, and I got greedy with my usual strategy of 1 impression per 14 days (336 hours). When I received the warning that the offer would be discontinued, I quickly changed the settings to 1 impression per 24 hours to maximize exposure. Unfortunately, it was too late. 😅

    My Takeaways:

    1. Always scale profitable campaigns ASAP, especially when the overall ROI exceeds 200%.
    2. Test successful offers across all push networks you’re actively using to find additional scaling opportunities.

    Thank you for reading! I hope this post helps you avoid making the same mistake.

  • Easiest Way to Get Your First Profit in Affiliate Marketing – Blueprint [ROI ~220%][20/10/2019]

    Hi, everyone!

    Today, I’m going to share what I believe is one of the easiest ways to start affiliate marketing. Let’s dive into an evergreen vertical – adult dating.

    Why do I think adult dating is the best vertical for beginners?

    1. Simple Creatives: Even without prior experience, it’s easy to create effective ads for this niche.
    2. Plenty of CPA Offers: Many offers involve free registration, making it easier to get conversions and optimize campaigns.
    3. High Profitability Potential: If you find the right traffic source, you can quickly become profitable.

    Let’s get started!

    Alright, I want to introduce you to a push ads network called Trending.Bid, which offers the lowest CPM bid I’ve ever encountered. Currently, the minimum bid is 0.01₽ (0.00016 USD)!

    Of course, you won’t be able to purchase tier 1 geo traffic at this price. However, the auction is far less saturated compared to other networks. For example, I’ve successfully purchased Poland mobile traffic at an average CPC of ~0.2 US cents.

    To stay updated on the current volume and bids for each country, simply check the “News” page on their platform.

    When working with push ads, it’s crucial to use pre-landers with age verification (especially if you’re promoting adult offers). These pre-landers help ensure compliance and improve conversions.

    How to Set Up Your Pre-Landing Page Properly

    For adult offers, I recommend using one-button pre-landers with a clear message like:
    “Yes, I am 18+”

    This ensures compliance and warms up the traffic before redirecting to the affiliate offer.

    Code Example to Pass Sub IDs

    To track data effectively, I save my pre-landings as .php files. This allows sub IDs to pass seamlessly through the pre-landing page to the affiliate program. Here’s an example:

    <?
    $link = 'https://pwvnk.easytofuck.com/c/da57dc555e50572d?s1=1341&s2=291284&s3'.$_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;?>

    Explanation

    1. Tracking Sub IDs:
      • $_GET['sub1'], $_GET['sub2'], and $_GET['clickid'] dynamically append tracking information from the URL.
    2. Redirection:
      • The meta refresh tag ensures users are automatically redirected after 30 seconds.
    3. Fallback Link:
      • The $link2 provides a secondary link in case of issues with the primary affiliate link.

    Tip

    Make sure your hosting supports PHP and test the setup thoroughly to ensure proper tracking and redirection.

    If you’re new to affiliate marketing and want to secure your first profit, I recommend starting with less saturated GEOs, low bids, and targeting all subscription ages (including push subscribers older than 90 days).

    • Recommended GEOs: Focus on countries like Poland, Italy, Germany, and Hungary with a bid range of 0.6₽ to 3₽.
    • Device Targeting: Start with mobile OS for all languages and duplicate campaigns for desktop OS.
    • Global Approach: For a broader reach, target all GEOs except India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan with a low bid of 0.1₽, as this can also yield profitable results.

    This strategy ensures you’re optimizing for cost-effectiveness while avoiding overly competitive markets.

    Creative Tips for your ads

    1. Be Creative
      • Avoid doing exactly what your competitors are doing.
      • Use spy tools for inspiration but customize and modify creatives as much as possible to stand out.
    2. Test Multiple Creatives
      • Develop at least 5-7 creatives per GEO.
      • Based on experience, one of these is likely to be a winner — profitable from the start.
      • If no conversions occur after spending an amount equal to your CPA, stop the campaign and re-evaluate.
    3. Refresh Creatives Regularly
      • Introduce new creatives every 1-2 weeks for each GEO that’s performing well.
