    Hey there!

    I have been running AuctionAds for a 3 days on 5 different niche sites of mine, resulting 200 clicks per day. Still havent earned a dime...

    How much time should I give AuctionAds to see how well they convert?
    A week? That's about the time auction runs on eBay?

    Share your experience with AuctionAds, please! :)

    Sincerely,
    Brox

    It really dependso on the quality of your site. If you just run scraper sites auctioands is probably not for you.

    with the normal eBay program they tell you it takes about 12-14 days to really ramp up.

    For eBay us -

    the only thing that comes in same day is ACRU (new users to eBay)

    revshare is delayed 2-3 days

    Keep in mind users have 30 days to complete a action for you to get paid.

    I would give it a week or so. Its not like you have to stop using anything else so just let it run and check it later.

    I started seeing earnings after around 10 days or so. But to really get a feel for how well it will do on your site you need to wait at least 30-35 days. This is because of the cookie-lifetime (30 days), plus a few days for revshare.

    Alright, thank you! I'll just leave the ads running then for a month on all the sites.

    BTW, what's the 'revshare'?

    I have a question about auctionads.
    The visitors do they have to complete the auction they clicked in my site or it doesnt matter? I mean if they clicked on a book auction and they buy a car i am going to be paid about the car?

    Thanks

    I'm not having much luck with AA. I've gotten $0.30 in the last week so far, haha. The CTR is really high, but the conversions are not.

    It took a good 2-3 weeks for my earnings to begin kicking in.

    I've had 120 clicks and made $1.32 over 45 days. $1 was from the bonus paid out because of the tracking problems they had (and fixed). I've heard people getting some big payouts randomly though because of large sales their referees bought, so I am hoping for that or at least some pickup before turning them off. But yeah Computizered, the CTR is extremely high (which also means they are leaving the site and not clicking on Adsense :/ )

    Heh. Just checked my account and I have made my first $0.32 from this affiliate.
    I'll keep you informed how it goes.

    Well, $0.30 in three weeks isn't worth it. I'll stick to Adsense for now. :p

    I've been running them for about a week and already made $11.50.

    The commission was assigned with a three days delay. This gives a new dimension on the stats checking fever!

    In my case, the CTR is surprisingly good. Even better than Adsense. I hope this converts.

    I'm doing about $3 per week on 900 visitors per day and 1-2% CTR, but I'm not a product blog (although I have extra ads in product-like pages that get targeted SE traffic). However, I tried AdSense in the same position and got less than that! I'm not 100% convinced that I don't lose some cash to people aimlessly clicking on the AuctionAds rather than on my AdSense!

    Got $5 yesterday, and the previous days it's been $2. Pretty nice.

    The revenue from other publishers and affiliates has not decreased at all!
    So it's just additional income. I am putting it on more sites.

    very nice Brox, based on your progress it appears auction ads gradually increases on payout, it just requires a bit of time :)
