I spent $140k on https://www.popads.net It actually worked on autopilot for a while. I really didn't spend more than 30 minutes a day managing my ads and it converted quite well. But then it failed.
Anyway I did like it.

Across different compaigns ROI was 30% - 200%.
Now I am going to rebuild $300 a day. Hopefully it won't take a lot of time.


Before, I used to promote push subs and adult dating/cams, but that is over.
So, I think to try Sweepstakes, maybe loans, and anything I'll find on spy services.

Because popads has lots of bots (known fact) and an outdated interface, zero automation, I'll also try Adsterra.
The plan is to spy, test, and scale what works.

Now I am trying to make a free tracker with clickervolt, But if that won't work I would stick with Binom (seems like the fastest tracker).

If anybody has any suggestions please go ahead.

Have you tested the running Adterra? Is Adterra clean of bot traffic?

I tested. It has better traffic but not bot free. that's why a tracker (i use Keitaro) is a must have to filter.

The main offer died.I used to buy traffic and send it to Affiliate Network 1 (which generated about 50% of my turnover). Then I would send the same traffic to Offer 2 and Offer 3.I was doing the same thing with hundreds of different ad campaigns on PopAds.


Then one morning Affiliate Network 1 suddenly stopped their offer, and my whole traffic monetization scheme collapsed.I spent around $1,000 trying to rebuild it (testing different offers and methods), but nothing worked. So, I stopped altogether.
 
Ad spend:
$106.91
Turnover: $38
/Loss: -$69


I spent almost $107 advertising push subscription offers from two networks, but in 2026, it just doesn't work like it used to. Push subscribers unsubscribe themselves before you can make any real profit.


I was looking for something easy to promote with pop-under traffic and found Zeydoo's smartlinks. They pay a small amount—around $0.2–$0.7—for users who complete a survey.


I think this could be a good jumpstart. The plan is to collect blacklists and whitelists on PopAds for different geos. For example, if I can filter out bad sources and buy traffic for about $1.5 per 1,000 impressions from Indonesia (or any other geo), then optimize it to bring in at least $3 in revenue, it's a winner. From there, I just need to scale across different geos with enough ad campaigns to spend at least $300 a day while hitting 100% ROI—and the goal would be achieved.

So, I feel like testing Zeydoo Smartlinks was a bad idea because the payout is tiny—$0.25–$0.35 per conversion—and it doesn’t convert as easily as I had hoped. Now, I’m looking for a new affiliate network that has offers specifically for pop-under traffic, because I feel like the networks and offers I currently have aren’t well-suited for it.
 
Have you ever bought traffic on Facebook? Facebook produces very, very good conversions.

why is your goal 300$ daily and not 3000$ daily for example?

I think it’s because when the numbers are lower, it’s easier for my mind to work toward $300 a day, whereas $3,000 a day, even though it’s better, feels too distant right now. In affiliate marketing, it’s definitely possible to jump to higher numbers. The best I’ve done is $1,500 in a single day, and that happened very fast.


For now, I wouldn’t stop something if it’s producing ROI. But realistically, to earn $3,000 a day, I think I’d need to learn how to promote more lucrative and expensive offers—like information products from “gurus” or even things like jet rentals. I actually tried that and ended up losing thousands without making any sales. I guess the reason is that the more expensive the product you promote, the bigger budget you need to absorb failures before you succeed.

I used to promote quick cash offers on Facebook, and it was working fine until I got banned. Then I promoted credit card offers, which also worked. I didn’t make a crazy ROI—maybe around 50%—but in the end, another account got banned. After that, I figured out that Facebook just likes to ban users from time to time.


I know some companies provide ad accounts for a 10–15% fee, but I’m not sure what to promote on Facebook anymore. Do you run Facebook ads? Do you have any ideas on what could be profitable to promote there?

I think you're using a personal account. Facebook often blocks personal advertisers.

You should try using a Facebook whitelist account rental.

Yes, I run ads on Facebook, and the ROI is quite good. I run ad arbitrage, Facebook Ads to Google AdSense, on adult sites using cloaking.
