Were the stats of the past few days with bad conversion rates changed? Or is it just fixed for every lead from here on out?
Please read the news when you log into your CPALead account. We try to keep everyone up to date here. If you were experiencing low earnings over the weekend, it was due to the testing we were doing on the order offers are displayed on the Gateway. This was the last test we needed to do to make our final judgment. Here is the latest CPALead news: 10/27/2008 - Final Decision Reached: Conversions Update Every 5 Hours Over the weekend we tested one last method. We tried randomizing the order in which our surveys are displayed on the Gateway tool using all offers that convert above 10%. Our results concluded that calculating the conversion rate every 15 minutes from a 5 hours sample and displaying the highest converting offers first on top of the Gateway, without randomizing the order, yielded the best results for you. Thank you for your patience through this process and thank you for your requests and input.
I still don't see how something random like this was able to take a standardly $50 dollar day and kill it to around $5. Seems extreme. In the future, will you be conducting such tests so that they affect your publishers this much, or will you find another way to get results?
This is the most extreme of the tests we will conduct. We are always looking for ways to bring your conversion rates up. Please keep in mind, your conversion rates, as a Gateway publisher, might a little lower than the network standard. You may have visitors clicking on your offers and deciding the content is not worth completing a survey for, and that lowers the conversions as well. So if an offer is converting at 20%, in reality, it may be converting at 75% for users who actually try to complete the survey.
number of leads has been going down inspite of my traffic going up over the past week. I can't explain this based only on the order of surveys shown. Any additional explanations of waht is going on?
We have increased our efforts in adding in new offers from different advertisers. Now that we have a steady formula, method, and now more new offers, give it a few days to see if your earnings go back to a comfortable level.
Read the messages. They are tweaking/changing the algorithm back to the old one, I assume this is a part of a transition.
