Biggest mistake I did and waste my traffic potential?

[Sk006]

Hi Everyone!
I run various gaming and software websites with desktop and mac traffic. I had a PPI ad installed on my websites by a well known network and they're paying me a decent amount per day but I always had doubt that they're not paying according to my traffic potential. Then I found a private PPI ad network, they asked me to test my traffic only for 24 hours, the even paid me in advance for testing. After 24 hours they show me results of my website and i was shocked that i was getting so much underpaid than what my websites deserve. They offer me 5 times more of what i was getting. And from time to time when my traffic increases they increase my deal. I'm so happy with them and enough got robbed from that well known PPI network.

I wouldn't agree less

Exactly. That's amazing that PPI networks like this exists.

That’s why it’s always good to test multiple networks instead of sticking with one for years. A lot of the big PPI networks lowball unless you got huge volume or a direct manager. Good move testing private deals, sometimes they convert way better.

A lot of big networks underpay until you actually compare EPC/RPM with competitors

Best thing you can do is split test traffic between 2-3 networks every few months
You’d be surprised how different payouts can be for the exact same traffic

Also watch retention and user quality, not just payout numbers. Sometimes higher CPM kills long term traffic value

I had same experience before with a mainstream network, thought my earnings were normal until I tested another source.
Sometimes loyalty just makes you comfortable while they keep shaving the traffic value quietly.
Private advertisers can pay crazy good if your GEO and traffic quality are solid, just don’t depend on only one network.

The biggest danger right now is your site getting flagged as unsafe. If this new network installs software that triggers antivirus warnings or Google security alerts, search engines will block your website and you will loose all your traffic.

Big public networks are notorious for shaving traffic and lowballing payouts once they have you locked in. It is always a smart move to split-test different private networks to see what your traffic is actually worth.

Yeah! But it's been a year or two but nothing happened to my website even my traffic is growing day by day.

 

[Sk006]

It's wild how much you were being underpaid before, but at least you learned a valuable lesson about knowing your worth and finding better opportunities for your website traffic

Exactly!

Glad you tested your traffic elsewhere instead of staying comfortable with the first offer. A lot of people never compare networks and end up leaving money on the table for years.

Honestly this happens more often than people think Many big networks pay stable rates but not always the true value of your traffic Testing different monetization partners is super important especially with gaming and software traffic because payout differences can be massive Glad you found something that actually matches your traffic quality better

Always check your actual traffic value knowing your worth can make a huge difference in revenue.

 

[Sk006]

Glad to see all the people appreciating that I took the risk. Honestly, I was so nervous when they reach out to me and offer me 24 hour testing and said they'll pay even for testing, I thought this is another scammer or something. But now I'm really glad that I took the risk.

If any of you is facing the same under paying situation, then I can help you connect to this network and save you from doing the same mistake I did. DM me and I'll send you the details.

that is great, it really shows how smaller, honest networks can be better than big ones. getting paid first and having your earnings grow with your traffic is amazing.

Testing different options is always important. Sometimes the results can be very different depending on traffic quality and audience.

True. High payout doesn’t always mean better value long term.

Testing different networks from time to time can reveal big EPC/RPM differences on the same traffic. Retention and traffic quality matter too, not only CPM numbers.

True. Testing different sources sometimes shows a completely different result. Staying with one option too long can make people miss better opportunities.

And sometimes when you try to leave a current advertiser, they try to increase your deal with them that proves that they were robbing you all this time.

Sometimes leaving shows your real value.
