    I'm curious if anyone has had any success with Adf.ly? They offer relatively cheap prices for bringing traffic to your website. I've been testing the waters and pretty much just spent a good $100 on 40k clicks that generated no sales & hardly any CTR.

    The visitors from adf.ly seem to be very poor quality, only looking for freebies (which I had offered), and are highly unresponsive. Curious if anyone has had any success with them.

    It's not that I want clicks, I'm more curious whether or not all these 10k visitors will convert into sales. The conversion rate for adf.ly is 0 after 30,000+ clicks. Thats like really really bad. Although I got a lot of email subscribers, none of them are responsive enough to convert.

    adf.ly may same as PTC sites, they having low conversion rate. Try to promote in OBClassified. There, you can advertise for free without register.

    Here is my experience: 0 to less than 4% of conversion via Adf.ly ... Even for my high converting squeeze page fails with it!

    My advise is stay away from those ad site where people are paid to click on the ads, such as Adf.ly, Clixsense etc. Because the motivation of those "traffic" is to earn credit. They rarely care about your ad.

    Hope this helps :)

    If you are using Adf.ly for CPA and list building then surely it'll not generate any sales. Adf.ly does generates sales if you have done proper demographics research and quick loading page to promote a CPS offer. Conversions aren't really good but they aren't bad and surely I never suffered any loss with Adf.ly from the time I found how to do demographics research, target proper countries and set proper campaigns.

    The thing that's different with adf.ly is that the users may be in the home gardening niche, click a link and see your site, which means they won't be interested. However, I got 19k visitors for $12, and I experience, 0 comments on my blog posts, around 200 opened blog posts, 28k page views, and an average viewing time of around 0:42, 42 seconds.

    The countries that did the best for me (40% bounce rate on a site with 3 pages and staying for ~2-3 minutes) were the United States, and Hong Kong. Vietnam and a low bounce rate but only stayed for like 40 seconds on average.

    Marketing is spreading the word. I can spam the link to my website and say I wasn't spamming, I was just spreading the word, it's the same thing. I don't see what your iphone has to do with this. I'm not jumping to conclusions, I'm just pointing out that if you post a link too your website your spamming, you made the conclusion for me. He was asking if anyone had success, but he never did ask for an alternative. Unless he specifically posted, saying he was interested in an alternative, you spammed.

    "Some spam messages are targeted towards readers and can involve techniques of target marketing"
    "forums and any other web forms to submit spam links to."

    Your target marketing people who are interested in what you have to offer since you are offering a service extremely similar to the one the topic is about. You searched for forums (this one) to submit spam links, or your website too. You should learn to go use your signature for advertising. You spammed your link on this forum when no one asked or was interested in it. If every spammer said what you say and got away with it this forum would be riddled with spam everywhere.

    P.S. There you go again posting one link posts just containing a link.

    P.S.S. Your site is like adf.ly but more expensive.
