Lifepow's follow along on ppv *newbie contest* (8)
My niche: I have chosen my niche as to go for the ipad's
Traffic souce: PPV - Lead impact
Budget : 200$
My setup:I will use landing pages as they tend to load faster. I'm on hostgator shared hosting and that sucks.I have tried direct linking but never got 1 conversion maybe because off slow speed.
Tracking: I will use prosper202 with this must have mod installed :http://nerdyaffiliate.com/affiliate-...xt-adskeywords
The Networks:Peerfly,Wolfstorm Media,EWA(if i can get accepted)
TOOLS: I will use this http://www.6wunderkinder.com/wunderlist/ that is FREE to make a to do list so i can keep myself organized.
Posts that will help me: http://stmforum.com/forum/showthread...ur-CTR-amp-%29
I will Update my follow allong every day.The only problem is that i'm in italy now and it's a differnt time zone + i have a full time day job and i'm working in 3 shifts.This week i'm doing 2 shift.
Ok - some updates.
-i'm using the vote style landers i found them here:http://stmforum.com/forum/showthread...-HTML-included
-i made some changes - removed the title as image and made it text and linked that to the offer also (all the items on the page are linked to the offer so i don't lose any clicks - i mean maybe some click on the images 
)
-used google kw tool to get kw them put them in aff expert tool to get urls
Lead Impact gives me a hard time approving landing pages.They want disclaimers and to be above the fold .(wtf?)
I got up 4 landing pages up and waiting for approval.
I got no traffic at the moment. 
Yeah LI are tightening up ship with the disclaimers.
Good work man! Looking forward to hearing results.
Today Starting off "24/06 seems to go really well with a 50% ROI start. I will have a more detailed post tomorrow when i wake up. I have made a ROI calculator in Excel because of p202 not tracking all my conversions .I have tried to upload subids from the networks and still not working. Here is the download http://www.mediafire.com/?szdmk7tua9x53i2
Hit the thanks button if you like it. And if you can improve it JUST DO IT and share it back .
great follow up and from looking at that spreadsheet the lp ctr is a bit low...are you using audio? flashing bits of crap? the all work to sometimes help the ctr.....
Update on :26/06
1) Problems i have (some i solved)
-had a verry bussy week and worked alot on my day job (i'm a CNC operator)
-not having ideas for angles and i first focused on the wrong demo and that lead to offer scrubbin
-lead impact disapproving my landing pages (solved easy - just put a disclaimer at the bottom of the page -
*Participation requiered.
*This site is not affiliated with the products/brands shown)
-tested just 1 offer 1 netw - (i will rotate more)
-still not getting accepted by EWA - i will keep on triyng ...
-i deleted all my data using Truncate option just to make my P202 load faster (and it does)
-slow server - running on shared hostgator baby croc plan - i hope that with 2.2 sec i can make it for a whyle
-not checking the affexpert popup before running the campain (it's better to open the window and trow away your pc rather than not doing this)
-can't maximize the popup window after the user clicks (this is BIG) if they can't see the input email field how would you get paid? I used an offer with the email input field placed in the middle so it will show up on that small lead impact popup.
-Update :fixed the maximize window problem:here is the code:http://stmforum.com/forum/showthread...ndow-%28PPV%29
2) Checks before you open the tap and let traffic going to the offer:
-Markets research ,find the proper demo so it will convert for the advertiser as well not just for you.I failed to do this.I was like oh this converts well and after 3 days the coversions stopped for me - So i had to change the angle.
I tried to target verry specific sites and kw for my angle.Big names that get a lot off searches so i can get some data fast.
If data is good i will scale by diving more on the targets that have converted + testing some other angles as well.
-How many targets : 15 - 30 targets on the ppv network
-How many clicks before i kick out the losser : if the ctr is bellow 5% i will get rid of the target and add other in his place
-Conversions : if no conversions occur before i spend 3 x offer payout / target i will remove the target even if it gets clicks
-Aff exp popup (if not all your work will be for nothing) - i had showing only a image in Internet explorer
-pingdom.com (test the page load speed off your site) - if the site does not load fast what will the user see? nothing and that means no clicks >> no clicks means no conversions <<>> and that sure means no MONEY
-Optimize images - image optimizer :here is the link to my post:http://stmforum.com/forum/showthread...1572#post11572
3) Checks when you start getting traffic: - look out for those money suckers - what do i mean - you can hit some kw or url's with a lot of traffic that can suck your budget really fast and not convert.

---- I need some ideas about what angles to take for Ipad offers,what demo would convert better and to avoid scrubbing
--- I was going with justin bieber and related kw and websites
--- What offers go well for younger demo or that demo should be excluded ?
To tell the truth: - i fell like i should give up and nothing will work (and i will give up) - but i will give up just on the angle not on the campain.I know i can make it work, i would preffer to fail than not doing nothin . I will not lose 200 $ on this, maybe i will get 100 $ back and till then, figure out a good angle and reinvest my earnings on a converting campain even if short lived.
so i stopped sending traffic to my shitty hostgator shared and finally got myself a vps at beyondhosting.net - starter plan. Installing p202,the moods and setting up the campaign again + lp.
I could have saved 22 bucks from all that traffic that never got to see my freakin popup.I had 2.8 sec then it would go to 10 secs.
Hope that i can get the campains up agai today and getting some traffic.
