Hey @Anth great FA! Just read through the whole thing and had a couple of questions.
It looks like you found the most success when you appeared to do two things right around the same time. 1. Switched niche. 2. Started focusing on mobile instead of desktop.
Did you take your desktop blacklist and use that on mobile? Or did you start a fresh separate blacklist for mobile?
I'm assuming for mobile they'll be two overall campaigns there? One for IOS and one for Android?
Last one. I think I've been bidding too low overall on my campaigns. How are your overall bids looking for your mobile camps? I assume there's some sort of sweet spot where you're bidding high enough to get on good placements, but not bidding too high that you're getting a lot of high cost clicks from a ton of small spend widgets that you can't really optimize since they don't spend a lot each day.
Thanks!
Yes, but only the absolute worst ones (account level) and then of course started growing the mobile one the more I ran.Did you take your desktop blacklist and use that on mobile? Or did you start a fresh separate blacklist for mobile?
I ran both together and still do.I'm assuming for mobile they'll be two overall campaigns there? One for IOS and one for Android?
They always change, higher/lower and I have a huge list of widget-level bids and the rest is just the RON bid. Each of the widget-level is at a sweetspot Exactly as you explainedLast one. I think I've been bidding too low overall on my campaigns.
That definitely does help thank you!Hey, glad it helped!

How was the campaign last month?
What reason are they being given when they do get banned?It needs some attention, but things are up in the air with Revcontent atm and people being banned for no reason pretty much.
Did your Revcontent account get terminated?I had a few going on revcontent, but not now, down to one and it was like this:

It needs some attention, but things are up in the air with Revcontent atm and people being banned for no reason pretty much. Definitely on eggshells lol so I'm just leaving it alone.
I haven't had any warnings or anything, but neither did others who got banned. I guess that's a big reason why I started also focusing on MGID.
Hopefully things calm down in a few weeks or couple of months or something.

No mate, just leaving it alone whilst this is going on, seems a bit like fb atm, do nothing wrong and you still get banned. Maybe they look at whole history or something, not sure cause even when not rotating people are banned for "rotating" lol.Did your Revcontent account get terminated?
How is it going @Anth?
also have my Wife managing some of my other sources of income hehe
I'm prepping to start my first native campaign. Given the uncertainty due to the banning issue would you recommend avoiding Revcontent for now and starting with MGID?
Thanks for sharing.
Much to learn here....
Value able thanksUpdate #1
I decided to test out multiple geos in the same campaign to make it possible to bid less, I've decided to stop this after 1.5x payout ($120)..
Why?
Because I feel like it's messy, yes clicks are cheaper, but I'm not helping myself find some good widgets, which is a goal I am aiming for.
Plus, with the cheaper clicks, it's not like they convert like the other "normal" campaigns, since the quality seems better.
I will retest in future though for sure, and right now not be distracted from gathering data, blacklisting and testing parts of the funnel.
Another note to make, my daily budgets are $100 per campaign. If they get conversions ($80) I increase the budget to $150. If it gets 2, I increase to $250 and so on...
Yes, didn't know about the good or bad widgets.Great campaign and very excited to see the big improvement in the ROI.
Can you share how exactly do you test creatives and landers? Which metric do you use to benchmark?
