I don't care if anyone sees my landing page. It's just like every other one and if anything I want criticism on it.

I actually thought it was great. Then again I don't promote weight loss. But I'm pretty sure if I was a fat chick, I would have been all about the before and after pics. Especially if I just recently reproduced.

It fuckin pwned on facebook, I sucked at myspace traffic though.

Same here. As big of a pain FB is, for some reason I can't get stuff to convert on MySpace like it does on FB...I suppose there is more research to be done.
 
I've lost over $20K running various offers on MS, their traffic isnt the best. Through the myads program you get all the shit impressions no one else wants. Try doing a CPM buy direct with their sales people. Youll get ahead of myads in the daisy chain and get better quality impressions
 
Ya there are several problems with Myads ever consider same person clicking on the ad twice? Wonder if they prevent that with a cookie or ip tracking. Also they should give you a frequency Cap option CTR would be higher and you would spread your ads evenly over more people. An no ability to add flash banners
 
I have people that aren't competitors that click my same ads 10+ times on myspace. I know because there are hundreds of them. I cannot believe people would have the time/idiocy to do that.
 
Hello friend,

While you have lost some money, you have also gained some knowledge. So in the end you may have not lossed at all.

Good luck bro.

I am sorry, but shut the fuck up.

Mike- I would be interested in hearing more on your experiences with Myspace and a direct media buy. Perhaps you could start a thread on such?
 
Heh, I lost about $200 on MS too with the same thing, but to be honest I did not expect to roll in cash from the start either.

ReVice: yeah, lets' see how Mike burns through $10k on MS with media buys :P
 
$450 worth of knowledge? I think not.

Hello friend,

$450 or 22,000 rupees may big amount for others. But shouldn't be big for those in affiliate marketing.

The great ones make that in a few minutes. The good ones make that in few hours. The average ones make that in a day. The less than average ones make that in a few days.

Good luck bro and may Saraswati bless you with knowledge too.
 
Just an update.

I'm profiting on it now and it's just a matter of scaling, so it was a good investment. :)
 
Anyone ever tell you that you look exactly like Manny Pacquiao?

Hm, well it appears the profit was short lived. It's become harder to even break even on MySpace. The place really is a hellhole.
 
Dude, you can not give it a few hours to decide if you are making or losing money. Give it a week or so, or at least enough volume to allow you to get some better figures.

1,460 posts - I thought you would have learned to be a bit more patient
 
I dont use tracking/prosper 202 but rather a custom coded solution. Do you have access to the referrer logs? Did you receive the right amount of unique clicks? How does that compare to the raw clicks? Dig into it and find out. If it doesn't match up call myspace.
 
Another thing you need to look at when advertising on MySpace or FB is your targeting. There are literally millions of niches. A RON campaign may not working but targeting women age 25+ who like to read this certain book can seriously increase conversion rates. With both MS and FB you can be very granular with your targeting, only issue is there are millions of possibilities and no really good top level reporting for you to quickly test them.

Both platforms are relatively new and continue to launch improvements, hopefully more data back on where your clicks and conversions are coming from will role out soon.
