Average CPA conversion rate for non-targeted traffic?

[Anders3]

I have a website that receives between 1,000 and 10,000 visitors a day (mostly from North America and Europe).

If I have propeller ads on it the payout will be too small ($2-3 CPM). Therefore I thought about creating my "own" banners with links to CPA offers instead ($3-5 per sign-up).

If I make the CPA-offers kind of relevant to the visitor, can I expect a conversion rate between 1-3% at least on average? Is my idea good or completely retarded?

(I have no experience in non-laser-targeted traffic when it comes to CPA)

I did a test recently and with a semi tageted offer (clickbank product) I had over 1,400 clicks without a conversion.

Pulled the offer and letting the site mature whilst thinking how to get it to earn ;-)

How expensive was the clickbank product and from where did you receive the traffic? Social media?

Free trial, then $20 pm.

Traffic from twitter>my site>offer

I wouldn't even expect 1% to be honest, that's close to what you often get with targeted traffic even. Test it on a smaller scale and see?

I thought so... I have had the same problem in the past. It showed out that like 80-90% of the traffic I received was Twitter bots.

A tip would be to add a bridge between the link and the offer with a simple PHP script that sort out 90% of the bots. They fuck up the traffic stats.

My problem is another though...

Thanx.

Yes I will have to... I just have to decide if it's worth the time before

Thanks will give that a try.

Good luck with your issue ;-)

its interesting ideas - i thought about doing that - started working a month ago with a few tests on other networks - got a account manager from ad maven to offer me higher CPM and than i got same result without any effort

just showed him the panel - stood on my ground and he accepted

Yes, theoretically it should be more profitable since you cut out the middle man.

How has it gone so far? How many clicks and conversions per visitor on average so far?
