Just wondering if anyone here is using mobile display ads to push affiliate offers? If yes, care to share your experience?
I have thought about it but I don't. I recently started using facebook ads with affiliate products and never display them on mobile devices. I also have an affiliate site that gets a handful of sales every couple of weeks and very very few of them come from mobile platforms. I don't really think a tonne of people use mobile devices for shopping, far more on desktop. Mobile devices are all about being social and few would do shopping from it in my opinion. In theory I should be testing desktop ads and mobile ads in facebook but there is also the problem with accidental clicks on mobile devices. There is also the problem with flash support etc on mobiles. I have a tablet and would only ever buy something from it if it really could not wait until I got on my laptop. Even then I do it as fast as possible because its more awkward on a tablet. I also believe that people on mobiles don't have their credit card out beside them to buy something (like above its more social) but whereas with desktop we all know that there are people browsing with their "credit card in hand" with the intention to buy something. This is why I believe it will be much harder to incorporate a good mobile platform affiliate business.
