OGAds shaving or my fault?

[d1aco]

Extremely low sample, I know.
Last week I was using CPABuild, where I had pretty low traffic but a really good CR
I started getting more traffic and working with OGAds but now literally getting no conversions.

What do you guys think? Shaving? Should I switch back to CPABuild? Should I keep trying to work with OGAds some more time until I make a decision?

Let me know.

P.S.: Gamehack blog, locking access to files, main traffic source from YouTube but a little bit from SEO too.

89 clicks is a small number to tell, maybe your traffic works better with cpabuild try split testing.

How many visits are from US?

For this you will need about 5k views daily to see okayish results. And it will take you a year to get there, so... it doesn't sound that good these days.

You can target iPhone users from the US. But that's quite impossible without advertising budget.

CPA is now another business where money makes money. It used to be different. But that's how it is now.

Sometimes the people don't know what to do. This might be because your targets are too you for example and just click on some app or survey they see without reading.

The bulk part of my traffic is t2, I target android users specifically because of what I'm doing.
Edit: yeah, after reading what I just said I realized where the problem might be... Android users from t2 countries, I need to change up my target audience.

I still believe free traffic is alive and that I can achieve that quicker if I find the correct way to do it.
After all, it's a known fact that CPA is something that you must work on continuously in order to keep the traffic going, so what really changes is your knowledge and your ability to get those same results quicker with better ways to do stuff.

You may be right but that is why I show them in the YT videos themselves (+ a vid embedded on my website page) regarding exactly what to do from start to finish, including the part where they must complete offers.

Anyway, update: changed my locking way from a button that leads to a locker and then redirects you to the content, to locking the landing page itself and that has started getting me some conversions.

I might start a journey to keep myself accountable but there are so many CPA journeys on this forum already...

Interesting to see that the game hack method is still working , used to run it many years back on youtube. Are you able to get it ranked to the front page? I assume there should be some competition these days.

I will give you the issue you are facing and issue of Ogads itself

Look at your offers and CPE. Offers like "complete 20 level", "complete 50 level" or register with real financial data.
Just disable them. Especialy you are doing Youtube. Kids will not do 50 level in some game to get game hack in another game.
2 years ago Ogads was full of CPI offers. Now advertisers switched mostly to CPE. They have engagement for almost free and paying $1-$2 for user completing 50 level? Something is not ok, I was asking Ogads to add more CPI offers but seems they still keep to CPE.


If you don't want to remove offers manualy, switch to PIN/email submits and ignore mobile offers

Ofc it's still working, it's pretty much evergreen.
However I don't expect serious results from it, I'm doing it so I can learn how to make good landing pages, good lockers, good copy etc and just overall become a better marketer before I try to do serious methods once again
It was just frustrating to see absolutely no leads at all

Lol you are actually 100% right (these are just 3 offers but there are a lot like that)
Thanks a lot for the heads up

They are not bad, but not for Youtube or game hack niche.
They can be good for Google Ads, but not for social media platforms.

how about cpabuild?

 

[Dresden]

Switch over to CPABuild if you were doing better there. Certain traffic works better with certain offer types and of course there will always be shaving on 99% of cpa networks, can't do much to prevent that.

I have previous experience utilizing YouTube as a means to generate traffic, and I would be happy to share a valuable technique with you that can significantly increase your conversions. However, I kindly request your assistance in return by providing me with a solution to safely publish my videos on YouTube without risking any potential bans or restrictions. By collaborating in this mutually beneficial manner, we can both achieve our goals effectively and maintain a positive online presence.

I've been using OGAds since it was OGMobi. While I've had a few offers unreliably track my stats, I've never had any reason to believe they've been shaving or trimming my traffic and conversions.
