Hi everyone, I am back with another review on another traffic network. I am not sure how to classify this network as according to them their traffic source is direct traffic, not pop traffic. Do not really understand the meaning of this since I regard this as pop traffic nevertheless.

As per past experience when I share about my experience with propellerads network, it seems that some of you will like to see actual proof of advertising. Well, like I mention previously I am not going to show the costing as the whole purpose of this case study is to share if the network works for CPA offer. That being said, I will show screenshot of actual traffic delivered to my campaign below as proof that I am indeed an advertiser with Wingoads. Certain info has been omitted for business reason.

I am promoting mainstream casual dating CPA offer promising to pay $3.20 per lead and USA will be the targeted GEO. Out of 300+k direct visitors I had ZERO conversion. Yes zero conversion. I checked my third party tracker and all IPs are clean residential, real devices, different screen sizes, OS,etc.

This means that the visitors are real but the offer just won't convert. Bearing in mind that I was able to target by niche with this traffic network. I am targeting dating niche and getting zero conversion out of so many traffic delivered. I must say that I am very shocked with the result.

In conclusion I will not recommend this traffic network but not because of bot traffic but simply because the way that the traffic arrives is questionable and not effective in conversion.
 
did you direct link the offer? As I heard dating offers convert a lot better with a prelander (I'm not sure tho).
 
You should install Statcounter or Analytic to test where the traffic coming from.
 
Thanks for sharing @honestIM,
It would be extremely useful if share a trusted list of companies from your experience.
 
I tested their traffic too and really sucks. To deposit fund they asked me to send a paypal payment to a gmail account. ( even chaught them faking reviews )
 
You only tested 1 dating offer ?

No I tested a few other offers. But have to stop them as I was getting zero conversion as well despite the large volume of traffics delivered.

Usually I do direct linking during testing stage. If the offer will not convert even one, then the offer is most likely dead or there is problem with the traffic source.

I am already using a paid third party tracking services. However Wingoads has blanked out all referrals stat and blocking the check on site referrals.

I had the best result with adword, facebook and local newspaper advertising. The one that I have the most success was propellerads but I was pulled from the campaign due to poor quality of traffic by advertiser request.

They do offer credit card payment now instead of paypal. Nevertheless the traffic is still bad. It seems to me that the traffic was delivered through title clickbait via facebook or other social media platform. Which is why all my traffic are not converting as these visitors were tricked into visiting my offers promoted.

Hello, We can not agree with the above statement as after checking your case we found the proof of the opposite. Your campaign was allowed to be set on cpa where you paid only for conversions and you indeed received them accordingly to the bid you set. Regarding the US targeting – it was not selected. Multiple geos were set and you have been warned by AM that targeting should be more narrow. If you allow us we can post the screenshots from dashboard with the proof of received conversions.

Nice to see the other side of the story here.

Yes it is!
Seemed like targeting wasn't accurate, and if he targeted all geos it would be hard to get to a conclusion that traffic won't convert.
IMO he/she should split test ios, andriod ,desktop + pre lander and target 1 Geo at a time. Also I would advise the account managers, sometimes they share good info if you get to know them a bit.

Very clear. Thanks for the update.
 
Now seeing both perspective it makes the whole picture a bit clearer.

Are you useing a landing page with bit.ly.

Be careful i read ppl getting no conversion because of the bit.ly link.

Dont no why but sometimes short url stop all traffic , madness .(( not joking try your own cheap landing domain .xyz ))

Can you try agin with correct settings ?

And show image shots cheers
 
Just my simple review. I tried them and I can say there are huge differences between charged traffic and amount of traffic I actually got.
Let's say I got 10 000 impressions (based on Wingoads), but actually I got about 2000. I tried many affiliate networks and thing is the same.
Until this is fixed I think they are not suitable option.
 
My initial thought when reading the review was "what do you expect for $0.04 per 1000 views (their current CPM cost for advertisers) but then reading the other side, I can see how it may have turned out differently otherwise... Was actually looking into trying them out - if it wasn't for the $50 minimum I probably would... at those prices, that's actually too large for a "test" what if (god forbid) it was really awful traffic and it got me banned networks I publish with?
