I've read shoemoney's post on his blog about ringtones and his claims on how it converts so well... lol 400 visitors, 0 sales... converts very well anyone else getting very low conversions? I was thinking of dropping them completely, since it's redicilously unprofitable.
PPC and adbrite iframing the ringtone provider's landing page Well, if I knew why I'm not getting conversions I'd ask questions. I'm iframing the affiliate landing page for better conversions, but it doesn't seem to work. I went as far as using only keywords that contain "ringtone" in my PPC campaigns (about 2500). What can I improve? Should I maybe pre-sell a bit on top of iframed page? Or keeping it simple and clean worked better for you? What's your eCPC? btw I sent about 1500 visitors now, 5 sales. so the eCPC is about 0.05
mhm, target your ads man, free ringtones is not worth the conversions because you wont get anywhere. If you want to get more conversions make sure the person knows what is going on, dont try and trick them by saying Free Ringtones. Straight up say 10 Bonus Ringtones, then inside of the ad say the price a month and say cancel anytime. Dont go for the keyword free ringtone or free ringtones and NEver ringtones. Go for like eminem ringtones yung joc ringtones nick lachey ringtones etc. Target your ads give the people what they want. Dont have the same ad for all of yours. Say on the top of the ad if you bidding for nick lachey ringtone Say Bonus Nick lachey Ringtone then under the ad keep the same thing, about how it cost so much amount a month and cancel anytime. If you look for smaller niches, you will pay less a click and higher conversions
The bottom line with any affiliate marketing you will convert much better when your traffic is targeted. If you are trying to push ringtones and people are looking for myspace layouts... you will convert at a lower rate. When you get targeted traffic your EPC can easily be in the .65-1.30 range.
paste your url your sending traffic too ill look at it and offer sugestions actually broadmatch of msn for "myspace" was my highest profiting keyword on msn for a looooooooong time. the next highest was "gay"
It's just a website that has thumbplay page iframed (essentially a copy of thumbplay affiliate URL). What is your source of traffic and how many keywords do you have loaded up?
wow that took you a whole 10 minutes to do and your not making millions yet? you should probably quit as you said in the first post.
yeah good one are you flexing nuts or trying to provide advice? any suggestions on how to presell these?
Well there was some good advice on how to improve your earnings. I've done great with ringtone offers in the past but it is now dying down a lot and everyone knows it. A new year is coming up and I really don't believe the current ringtone offers will dominate for 2007 so I would jump into a different field to get a head start. Now you can still make money with ringtones... but just iframing a landing page isn't going to get you anywhere. Create a custom landing page and then go from there - you can't expect to make money by putting in few minutes of work. Research and bid on unique keywords, implement some tracking to see which keywords convert best for you and reed a book about how to effectively do search engine marketing.
Darn I knew it all along if I waited another 5 minutes someone would beat me to it ... darn Iframers beat me to the punch everytime.
okay... heres the thing.... you need to target it to high school/college audiance, otherwise they wont convert... PPC for ringtone keys is oversaturated.... try myspace markettng.... another thing 1. (dont piss off shoemoney...) 2. Explain the idea on your landing page... ppl are used to seeing the dadamobile /thumplay/whatever banners on popups... using the page in an iframe may be a bad start.... for example in a myspace campaign i wrote something along the lines.. "hey guys... check out these awesome shakira ringtones.... lol" .
Building your own landing page with cloaked affiliate urls will convert best over the long haul providing you update it on occasion or use a script that inserts unique content periodically. Overall it depends on your own ability to write good ad copy. Overall this is Shoemoneys ring and he knows best.
I like to help those who help themselves... You come in here super vague and want all the answers yet you have just used iframed pages... my advice is to test test test
Well... http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=73129&highlight=frame+their+landing+page Actually I researched before I iframed, and I assumed iframes were working well for you. Having landing page with "choose your carrier" generated pathetic ROI. Iframed generated some revenue. Now I'm testing some pre-selling points on top of iframed page. ===== cut ======
@ Shoemoney I sent you a PM. I don't know you personally, but I'm doing OK and can use some tips to take it to the next level so I was like, f#ck it. Either he ignores me or he helps me
