Hmm they added today the toolbar for games... Anyone converting for him ?

Regards

 

I can't see the toolbar for games survey, because I'm not from the USA.
People only have to install a toolbar? If it's like that, it will converts easy.

 

This is why I don't send them PPC clicks anymore. Every lead doesn't count, what kind of mess is that? With payouts at only 45 cents and PPC traffic costing anywhere from 1 cent to 5 cents(I wouldn't pay anywhere above that), what gain would there be for you sending traffic to offers that don't "always" record? They actually encourage PPC traffic as if paying 20 dollars and only getting 20 dollars or even less in return is a good deal for us.

That's terrible.

And it's even worse for the user who fills out that long survey and not only does the gateway NOT unlock(making their visit to the site useless), but they are getting telemarketing calls.

 

Just discovered a bug in the gateway, or at least my gateway.

A number of surveys simply will not display in the gateway. If i enable only "Want to WIN $50,000? " for example, they gateway will not even load.
If i enable "Are you a Rebel?" then the gateway loads, but only with the "Are you a rebel" survey, not the "Want to WIN $50,000".
Other surveys that are not displaying.
"Do you like trivia"
"Which anime do you belong in"

I submitted a trouble ticket about this, and IMed jeremy, but i'm wondering if anyone else is seeing the same thing? I think this could be the cause of my sever earnings drop in the past few days.

 

I use PPC also, but my limit is $7 a day. But what is $7 a day if you earn 10 times more than that. Only use PPC if you are earning more than $50 a day.

For getting traffic in the beginning, use free methods. You must work very hard, but you will get your traffic.

 

Honestly I am getting few compalins from visitors who filled the survey but gateway didn't unlock !
Is this true ? And does it occur ?

 

I have natural traffic. But I'm just saying that they should stop encouraging PPC traffic if all the leads don't record. I once drove PPC traffic to their gateway and I made a few bucks profit, but it was soon wiped out by reversals. Then I discovered that all the leads weren't recording so I stopped it all together. It doesn't really make sense to me to drive traffic to offers that are being shaved.

 

Although I don`t live in USA, but I think they are not showing for my visitors too.
I have enabled 4 surveys , one of them is the anime one and I was waiting like 100s of people to click because my site is anime related. Untill now not a single click ....

 

yea and cpalead knows that some offers convert well and some do not so they always list the offers by conversion

 

Full list of non-functional USA Surveys.

What anime do you belong in?
Which Drinking Game Are You?
Are you a super villain?
Want to Win $50,000
Do You Like Trivia?
Discover Open Road Card
Discover More Card
Discover Card Clear
What's Your Favorite Smoke
Do You Read To Your Kids?
Do You Wear Thongs?
Going On a Trip This Summer?
Are you headed for Anger Management
Do you shop at costco?
Want a free ipod touch?
Liberty Debt
Need to pay off debts?

 

Yes some of them are not showing.

 

The Gateway automatically shows the highest overall paying surveys based on Earnings Per Click. If you find a few surveys that do not convert well or you think you may have found dead surveys, those offers will never make it on the Gateway anyway so there is no need to worry about them.

BTW our biggest publishers are using PPC to drive traffic, ignore B2UEntertainment, he's not one of our publishers.

 

Great stats today The UK surveys are hot EPC - $0.22

 

Same here
I just hope U.S will have same EPC .. Currently it is $0.12

 

Having a pretty good day overall, as I've had a nice traffic surge recently, UK EPC at $.0.23, US and CA only $0.06 at present though

 

What type of bounce rate are some of you averaging with your gateways?

Roughly 300 uniques today turned into 65 clicks with a 20% conversion.

The conversion seems about on par from what I've read but the clicks seem low to me considering that I am getting 4x as many page views than I am uniques. I've got the adblock script up and functional (as per my own test) but not sure how else to optimize things to increase my uniques to clicks ratio.

I am ranking pretty decently with a couple of good terms for a pretty popular tv show so it's all search traffic. I am actually delivering what I am offering to my visitors a click away from when they hit the home page. They know exactly what they're getting before they view a page.

Any advice?

 

Cpalead has the best affiliate/ad network support in the bussiness! There support beats the largets ad network such as adsense. Also i got a quick payment after few problems with my cheque! Great Support!

 

Is there a way to select different surveys for different gateway??

If not i suggest there should be one. at least for 2 gateways. coz many of the surveys are performing exceptionally well for one site but fail to get even a single lead on other sites.

For example.
The 'Do you love the sims?' survey does gr8 on my game site but its really poor on my TV site.

So if i disable it i ll loose the earnings from it on the game site and if i keep it TV site ll not convert well.

So im suggesting if possible there should be at least 2 lists to Enable/Disable the surveys.

 

Excuse me? Are you calling me a liar? I AM one of your publishers and I do not appreciate being told otherwise and I do not appreciate being called a liar.

The leads are not always recorded. Do you deny that? Do you give advertisers the ability to "lower" their conversion rates, meaning they can actually preset the conversion rate at a certain percent(30%) and anything over that is not recoded? I am not sure if that is exactly how it works, but it does sound like you give advertisers that ability and I know for a fact that not all leads are recorded. Maybe advertisers should stop making calls to my website visitors if the gateway is not going to unlock and if I am not going to get credit for the lead.
