Yeah social networks might be get heaps of traffic but if it is not targetted then it not going help other then pump up your stat counter

Im a born sceptic but it makes you think how much legit earnings affiliates would lose if the companies they are promoting just happen to hit "problems with thier tracking software system" every so often - so they dont get logged and credited properly. Those periods could add to substanial money if they they targetted the higher earning affiliates?

Could this be the new way of shaving so affiliate companies limit how much they payout but still earn income themselves

facebook ppc just dont get you any sales.
just waste of money and time.
it is quite proven that social network traffic dont convert.
maybe for your fan page and etc yes.
but a big NO for sales.
dont waste your money the way i did.

I wouldn't say so. I too have had no luck with social media. I was promoting a hairloss product for males, with 0 conversions for a free trial.

If you're promoting something on social media, it really needs to be heavily targeted... and more than likely free.

I had exactly the same problem as you do 1000 clicks no sales, you have to look at it in there perspective to understand why you arent selling. When you get that first sale, thats best feeling!

I tried PPC on facebook for a while and found it to be a complete waste of time as well.

To the OP - were you doing PPC on Facebook (actually paying them to post your creatives)?

If you're doing PPC, I think you'll have better luck going with Bing or Google. I personally like Microsoft AdCenter (Bing) because of the lower cost. There is significantly less traffic, but I've found my conversion to be higher.

'What is the problem?'

You have a shit conversion rate!

Publishing through social media stinks. When people are on social media like facebook and twitter they are not in 'buying mode' and will more than likely just be clicking on your link just outta curiosity, I presume.
Nothing beats Google Adwords tbh (thy own 90% of worlds search traffic). Test some advertising campaigns on Adwords first and pick the onesthat are performing well and transfer these directly to yahoo or microsoft advertising for lower CPC. As sdtopensied said your conversions will be better. Google won't be long telling you that you are not getting conversions, believe me. When you are getting some conversions switch to yahoo/msn. Also track which keywords are working. I use tracking 202.


If all the above aint working you may just have a shit landing page.

I don't think you are targeting well enough. using outlets like twitter and facebook suck....to many bots to many advertisers its gone to hell......do it old fashioned and put some sweat equity in your shit...

I have to admit that twitter has not been as good as I thought it would be, although I have sold a few computers from there, you need the followers and lets not forget that google will now be involved with searching the timeline, also I am just now promoting my RSS feeds. Ill let you know how it goes.

If we look at it that way, then every network is a scammer. Seriously, CB is a scam, CPA is scam, CJ is scam...common. Of course all of them are shaving and scrubbing and trying to keep money, but which normal network, isn't?
