My experience with Propellerads as advertiser

Have you got these results using the same ID and offer on day 2 and day 3?

So, we better sign as publisher. Make money rather than burning it out.

Thanks OP for the share and info. @honestIM

I'm not much of a poster of bad experiences but unfortunately, I have had a terrible experience with them as a publisher back in October.
I used to ran a known authority site in entertainment niche. We worked 2 years ago with propellar which went well, good cpm and clean ads in general blah blah.

The networks were hounding us like piranhas and we jumped ship and went to work with the highest bidder.

Fast forward 2 years, we decide to monetize ourselves again and go back to the old technique of propellar for popunders and CPA with another network.

Not only that we've asked them many times to not put those invading hijacking ad, but they kept coming back. Our site was deindexed twice by Google due to ads and we loss enormous traffic.

Anyways, sour taste mouth as we closed the site afterward and it never recovered the same rankings.

Yes I am only targeting a few site IDs that have proven to give me conversion using the targeting that I have setup. I think it is a waste of money to target too many site ID for the sake of getting traffic. If the traffic is not targeted you can easily lose alot of money as advertiser with propellerads.

Yes that is a big problem as advertisers come in many form. The blackhat advertisers usually causes a lot of problem. They will list their ad using a single domain and then redirect to a blackhat campaign using a cloaker after ad has been approved. Propellerads cannot do anything much about this. A pity for advertisers like myself to lose a good site like yours. As advertiser I would rather pay a higher bid price for your ad slot than to pay for someone who uses blackhat means to get traffic to their site since those traffic won't convert for anything.

Are you still selling traffic to any of your site? I can do direct media buy if your site is having quality traffic. Feel free to reach out through PM.
 
Could you please explain how did you collect stats, what kind of tracker and free traffic sources?

I already have existing traffic sources that converts. So basically I am using a third party tracker to track these conversions as I know these will be real people that I will be targeting. Free traffic sources such as twitter is one of my main source for conversion.

Were those traffic organic mate?

I am buying traffic from propellerads. Nothing to do with organic traffic.
 
Example of the type of stats that I use. If you noticed i seldom have conversion from below android 6.0. So this is one of a good way to avoid bot traffic if you are targeting mobile traffic.

I already have existing traffic sources that converts. So basically I am using a third party tracker to track these conversions as I know these will be real people that I will be targeting. Free traffic sources such as twitter is one of my main source for conversion.



I am buying traffic from propellerads. Nothing to do with organic traffic.

And their traffic source was?

yes, it's rare and tough to built bot for latest OS.

Maybe but so far my conversions mostly come from latest OS version. More than 98% are from latest OS version.

@honestIM what kind of ad format are you using?
Click to expand...

I am using popunder format. The logic is to display the ads as many times as possible to real human and conversion will eventually come. The same way that it works for spamming. Show to as many people as possible and hope for conversion to happen? :) I am just doing this the legal way.

Note: Please do not just target the latest OS version and then come back to ask why you are not getting conversion. I have omitted other crucial info such as browser, ISP, cities. You need all these combination to target.
 
Congratulations OP for the success so far and for not giving up easily ,this is really inspiring !
I have question about wherever you are hosting your LP in a private server or a strong hosting plan since you are getting a huge amount of traffic daily , also i believe you are promoting something general and curious about the type of offer you are promoting email submit , pin; app install (if you don't mind answering )

I am using linode for hosting the LP. Using a 4GB Ram setup to handle the traffic with load balancing. So far it works pretty well as loading is very fast. The offer is email submit. I think on click pin submit should perform better but I have not really try it yet.
 
100,000 visits yesterday costing me a total of $300.. Bid is increasing. I am suspecting that Propellerads is studying my conversion rate to force an increase of bid price.

838 conversions
Gross profits= 838 x $2.40 = $2,011.20
Less cost advertising ($300)
Net Profit of $1,711.20 + cumulative profit of $2,704 = Total profit of $4,415.20 for this campaign so far.

I am afraid to increase my budget further to get more traffic as I noticed that my average bid size is increasing. As per above noted, I am suspecting that propellerads is studying my conversion pattern to force an increase of bid price which in turn drive up my marketing cost. Most likely my daily marketing budget will remain still for now.
 
Very interesting case, I personally wouldn't think it is a bad idea to a how some earning proofs since now a days it just seem for many people to be very difficult to achieve such succes. I was also wonder do you only target mobile devices?

I am not targeting only mobile. The above share is some of the samples of conversion through other free traffic sources. I am leveraging on the patterns in those stats to setup my campaign. However the fact is that bulk of the conversions are coming from mobile for USA traffic. I think for popunder traffic to work, you need to be very targeted and of course lucks play apart. The offer chosen is important as well.

Initially I was thinking that free iphone x seems to be a good deal and would convert well. Ironically when I ran that offer on twitter, I got zero responses. That is where I got my first warning that this campaign will not a good choice. Then I shifted to my current campaign and it converts very well.

I am lucky to have found a converting offer. I did test out other campaigns over the weekend using similar setup and lost $120 without any conversion. So the choice of offer is really important even if you have the right setup to avoid bot traffic.
