Hey guys,
I want to know what you guys prefer when running PPC campaigns.
Some ad networks give very cheap clicks, but traffic quality is not always good. On the other hand, quality traffic can be expensive but may bring better conversions.
What do you prefer?

  • Cheap clicks with more traffic
  • Quality traffic with less clicks
What works better for you guys? Share your experience.
 
Always aim for quality traffic!

That said, depending on the offer you’re promoting, there may be low-cost traffic sources that can be highly profitable—though you’ll first need to invest a significant amount of time and money to identify those specific, inexpensive sources that actually generate a profit.

Some people use low-cost traffic for campaigns that otherwise only break even; by funneling that cheap traffic into a campaign that already converts, they turn it into a successful one.

Many people look for cheap leads, but more expensive leads tend to yield a better ROAS.

I have used some cheap source for traffic before nd observed that there are quite a few click, but not many are converting when they land on the landing page. It would be better to spend a little extra money on traffic that converts. A cheap source should definitely be tried but one should check the subids and leads always.

Try sending traffic from both networks to separate landing pages. This can show which source brings better results.

The best choice can change by product. A low cost click may work for a simple offer but not for an expensive service.

Having ran a myriad search ads, often times the cheaper clicks are almost close to worthless. Here's why:

1. The people who view them are deemed low value. They do not have intent to buy much in general.
2. The inventory is usually very low quality. Cheap PPC will place you in inventory like phone games 30-second pause ads. Almost no one is clicking these. They will often show you a high impression rate or CTR because of incentives or to skip your the ad quickly. Realistically speaking, cheap and effective ad campaigns are sort of a relic of the past, unless you've found some serious alpha in a niche, or more sustainably, you have high brand value, which makes everything cheaper.

Hope this helps.

Hi, I'm interested in discussing Adsterra traffic and monetization with you. It would be easier for me to communicate through WhatsApp. Could you please share your WhatsApp number so we can discuss this further?


Thank you!
