Step 14 - Success / Failure Stories

[Amandauk]

Hi Webzilla
Thanks for this!
I have gone through the training a couple of times and focussed on countries, languages and offers
Good idea about creating separate campaigns, I'll look at doing this when I can work out why the drop in AP - trouble is this looks like this will be at a the affiliate level which determines the rate of payment as all all factors are good
One question - how do you narrow down on site ID and category ID ? I cannot see you can do this in pop ads , sorry if this is a stupid question!
I am gonna try the same campaign today and see if there is a change with the AP
Good luck with your campaigns - it's fun, and am learning lots!

PS I think I worked it out now (website ID ) - it's a bit tricky looking!

You can narrow down on site ID and category ID on Bemob. Click your campaign - report -custom1 on the white dropdowns. Hope it helps

Thanks John! I have been able to do that, but it is how to exclude the unprofitable ID's, it looks like you have to manually select the ID numbers and add them to pop ads, I'm sure there's an easier way but for now at least I think I can see the connection!

Yes in Popads you have to put them in manually as far as i know.

Hello! Here is the report on site ID. It can be downloaded in excel (csv) format and copy all the necessary ID at once.

Hey thanks, that's brill! I have now kicked out the unprofitable IDs and will run this campaign again. How are you getting on with yours?

Very bad (( Yesterday I realized that I need to create 6-8 separate campaigns. I created 1 to see if everything was set correctly in BeMob. But this campaign has not been approved yet! Almost a day has passed and there is no response from PopAds.

 

[Amandauk]

I'm sure they'll get back soon, they seem to take a while to approve campaigns I notice - good luck!

They do take around 12 to 16 hours to approve campaigns. Even on Luke´s POPS Guide they approved after 14 hours.

Friend, I seem to understand the whole point of this campaign. Yesterday I had excellent performance in Saudi Arabia, yesterday I created a separate campaign for this GEO with the exact settings (go sites, browsers, phone models).
But now, when the campaign was approved for me, I realized that there are no payments for this GEO today, like that.

TODAY:

YESTERDAY:

Thus, I conclude that all optimization actions need to be done day-to-day.

- made a test
- saw profitable GEO
- optimized
- earned some money

 

[Webzilla]

Of course, it was a good experience, in terms of experience with the tracker and data, but it seems to me that is where we will not be able to earn any money (daily).
Maybe I'm wrong.

Im using Mobipium with Popcash
happens to me too, i found 2 Geos and good websites ID after a day the AP goes from 0.05$ to 0.00$
i did a 2nd retest i found another 2 Geos after a run of few hours the AP goes from 0.04$ to 0.00$ again
So for me its impossible to earn money more than wasted to test and optimize, Talked with AM and he said the traffic quality is low.

If it were that simple, everyone would be millionaires.
I am grateful to this experience, because it showed me what a tracker is, I would have put it off for a long time.
I think we all need to leave these offers (smartlinks) and try something new, but here's what? I look toward Dating.

 

[Amandauk]

that's what happened in my campaign - the optimisation was fine at an AP of 0.04/0.03, but this dropped to 0.01 and immediately became unprofitable. I did wonder if the rate depended on the time of day, so I waited out 24 hours to test again but found the AP was still at the low 0.01. It doesn't seem to make sense apart from is the drop related to the narrowing of the audience?

Yeh I was thinking about trying out a single offer - I anyway need to earn $30 on Mobipium to get my money out, so might as well stick with this and play around with it! I agree, this is an interesting learning experience!

Hmm, but how many dollars are there payouts?
I was still in a hurry, delighted at the first results and poured $ 70 on PopAds ))) I need to do something with them.

 

[Amandauk]

Looking at the payment terms, it looks like monthly. I think I'm gonna stick with smart links for the moment and see what happens when I run a new campaign, follow the same process again....

I mean - do they have a minimum payout limit?
Of course, try, you will definitely be able to earn a little money (quite a bit), and most importantly, to practice!

they just say payment terms net 30 (see the payments section)- why don't you contact your account manager? At this stage I would be happy to break even and hopefully learn how to make a small profit. From reading the threads on this site - quite a few people have had the issue with a suddenly dropping AP, so there is this unpredictability factor!

Yes min payment is 100$ and you have to send invoice when currrent month ends to get your money.

thnx for clarifying!
