Average CPA conversion rate for non-targeted traffic?

Anders3 said:

I have a website that receives between 1,000 and 10,000 visitors a day (mostly from North America and Europe).

If I have propeller ads on it the payout will be too small ($2-3 CPM). Therefore I thought about creating my "own" banners with links to CPA offers instead ($3-5 per sign-up).

If I make the CPA-offers kind of relevant to the visitor, can I expect a conversion rate between 1-3% at least on average? Is my idea good or completely retarded?

(I have no experience in non-laser-targeted traffic when it comes to CPA)

I did a test recently and with a semi tageted offer (clickbank product) I had over 1,400 clicks without a conversion.

Pulled the offer and letting the site mature whilst thinking how to get it to earn ;-)

I wouldn't even expect 1% to be honest, that's close to what you often get with targeted traffic even. Test it on a smaller scale and see?

I thought so... I have had the same problem in the past. It showed out that like 80-90% of the traffic I received was Twitter bots.

A tip would be to add a bridge between the link and the offer with a simple PHP script that sort out 90% of the bots. They fuck up the traffic stats.

My problem is another though...



Thanx.

Yes I will have to... I just have to decide if it's worth the time before

its interesting ideas - i thought about doing that - started working a month ago with a few tests on other networks - got a account manager from ad maven to offer me higher CPM and than i got same result without any effort

just showed him the panel - stood on my ground and he accepted
