Step 10 - Analyzing Your PopAds Campaigns using BeMob

[Luke]

Awesome way Luke.

This is my first 5$ results:

I removed 1 website and 8 countries
And now I wait for the second 5$ spent

Awesome!

Here are my results:

So I should keep Australia, Bangladesh, Turkey and Saudia Arabia. Should I keep Italy too? Maybe drilling into Website id's there will make it profitable.

Hi!
If you have a budget of more than $10, I'll give it a try to Italy and maybe Egypt (already 4 conversions and not much traffic); of course it's up to you. But keep your hopes up
I waited until I run out of budget to remove websites; and that was about an hour ago

Makes sense. I have the budget, so I'll give that a try. Thanks!

I would keep Italy too

@Luke, so the $5 daily budget is training wheels for beginners, since it runs out before we have significant data. The focus is learning, not profiting.

But once we are ready to push the throttle 🕹 towards some serious power, I imagine $5 x 24 hours = $120 for 1 day of data accumulation is a reasonable daily budget?

Then on Day 2, we can day part based on hours of the day with highest traffic. Something like 6-9am & 5-9pm, and freeze the campaign in this optimized configuration for the remainder of the week (Mon-Fri). So the budget is around $60 a day, running data accumulation only during peak hours and, thus, preserving our money...

...if we are patient , by Friday we can have a roughly accurate representation of a "successful week" worth of data. And the second week, we can really begin optimizing for profitability -- and push the throttle up to max.

Week - data accumulation (profit is not the goal)
Week - re-deploy optimized campaign based on week 1 data. (hope for profits)
Week - ride wave of profits, but monitor all analytics like a hawk
Week - ...continue riding profit wave, and eyeball the analytics

Week - if last month's campaign generated ROI, add new offers. repeat process. scale. become filthy rich! ...mua-Ha-haa !

...am I showing signs of understanding the gist of it, señor?

A better strategy would probably be to find more stable sources for higher payouts for these types of offers if you wanted to scale.

Could you elaborate?

Hey guys I am following along with the campaign and I can't access the data with the web ID's. I've added the tokens and conversion tracking URL from Mobipium. Not sure if I did it wrong but I'd love any assistance on the issue.

 

[filthyRichFreddy]

Could you elaborate?

...I think he's referring to the variable payout nature of these SmartLink offers, @mck . Because the payout is unpredictable, you lose some control over the stability of your revenue. It's like trying to hit a baseball by swinging a rubber bat instead of a solid metal/wood bat... the harder you try to swing, the more it flexes out of shape and you screw up your accuracy.

I am quite surprised on how similar my first campaign in PopAds is to the example analysis. Yes, there are variations with Countries, ROI's, EPV, etc but close enough for demonstration purposes.

I would say you're not far off

Could you elaborate?

Yeah, as EvilLuke (@filthyRichFreddy) said, as you scale, you will have 2 options upfront:

1. You can continue to focus on the smartlinks with variable payouts and hope your traffic is performing well enough that you can find a payout stable enough to maintain a nice ROI (we have members do this so it is possible).

2. You can look for companies/offers with a static payout. For example, DatsPush has pretty good static rates. Be careful though, if quality is bad, flat rate CPA (static rates) can cause you to get blacklisted or leads removed if quality is crap. So, if MOBIPIUM drops your payout to $0, you probably shouldn't switch to someone else but instead get rid of that GEO in your campaign

I have actually been surprised by the amount of people with very different results than the initial test campaign I used for the course, but that's good. There's a lot of traffic in PopAds and depending on the time you setup the campaign, how long you run, etc. the different results you will get. The important thing is you are seeing green

Oh, boy! ...I hope I get SO GOOD at this mobipium-popads thing, that I can buy my first house without a downpayment, in the next 3 months!!

While I love BeMob and their awesome free plan for their tracker, you will see less click loss with a faster tracker (you get what you pay for).

Hi Luke,

Are you referring to just the free plan, or all the paid BeMob tracking plans, as well?

If I were to upgrade (in the future), would my click loss be lower?

Thanks!

Scott

I’ve been running my first campaign for a few days now but am a bit confused about some of the data I see in BeMob and what it is telling me. Can anyone shed any light on the following? Would appreciate some help. Thanks.

What are subnets and what’s the difference between small and large subnets (other than their size!). Is this a criteria worth optimising for? If I have a conversion on a subnet, if I drive more traffic to it, is it likely to convert again or is it a case that someone has already converted so won’t do so again?

When I drill down on ISP, I have two providers who have generated a conversion despite having no visits! What’s going on there?

I thought I was drilling down on offer 4 and therefore would only be shown the results for offer 4. However, the conversion report shows records for other offers. What’s happening here? Do the criteria shown on the top line (next to Home) not dictate that the results shown only relate to these?

I assumed drilling down, i.e clicking on a record, would only return results relating to this record. Is that correct? I have to drill down on something before I see the filter options. Is that correct or is their another way of seeing the filter options? Sometimes when filtering I see the tokens, e.g. website ID, category ID etc in the drop down list. Other times they’re not there. What determines whether they appear in the list? Is their a particular combination of drilling and filtering which reveals the winning criteria?

In PopAds there’s a quick report by website ID. If I click on the ID I see a number of stats, one of which is quality score. Is their a way I can see the website ID’s in the top X%?

Thanks

I don't think upgrading will impact your click loss but I am not sure.

If I have a conversion on a subnet, if I drive more traffic to it, is it likely to convert again or is it a case that someone has already converted so won’t do so again?

I've never optimized for it

Seems odd, post a screenshot.

This appears to be the report for South Korea (see that it's highlighted blue).

You appear to be clicking the wrong things to do your Drilldown. Click on what you want the run the report for, then find the next thing you want to drilldown to, and click the Drilldown report button. Or, use the dropdowns as I showed here (top red box):

Hi Luke, its interesting to see the data from bemob after I ran the campaign. However, I like to ask why is that there is no revenue recorded for countries like Vietnam and Philippines even though the data shows Vietnam has 29 conversions and Philippines has 9 conversions.

These GEOs are not performing well enough for there to be revenue so pause them.

OK, have done that....thanks Luke

@Luke Here's the screenshot. Wouldn't mind a few more conversions like that
