I launched my first mobile campaign with Admoda.
Made 6 300x50 ads direct linking
Just targeted verizon Iphone and verizon android users in 2 separate campaigns.
Using offer XXX Black Book mobile dating.
I'm getting almost no impressions with Iphone and I got only 6,000 impressions with Android.
0.1599 % CTR overall on Android with 0 conversions.
I don't really know what I'm doing at this point. Anyone have any success with Admoda traffic?
Expand your targeting. Look at the ad planner to see where the traffic is at.
Oh thanks I wasn't even thinking about the campaign planner haha. I expanded targeting so I guess I will see. No conversions yet so I may have to try some new ads and possibly throw up a landing page.
Admoda doesn't have tons of volume but clicks are still pretty cheap. Good for testing out stuff.
I ABSOLUTELY cannot stand their interface. The traffic itself is good.
Yea the interface is really bad. Traffic is definitely cheap. I looked at the campaign planner and most of their traffic is on RIM. On carrier targeting they have an option for US - RIM. Not sure what that means unless their is a separate carrier for blackberries. I tried targeting just blackberries and I do get a lot more impressions. I don't know if my offer just sucks, or my ads are too shitty, or maybe it doesn't convert for blackberries, but 479 clicks and 0 conversions. Guess I gotta search for some more blackberry friendly offers and focus on that. 0 conversions for androids too.
About to try a milf dating offer.
Two things:
1. RIM is blackberry
2 Blackberry won't convert with most offers. I don't have an exact answer why, but from my own testing they don't convert well. Could be phone screen size, loading times, web errors etc
In most countries RIM has it's own network that's why it's labeled as RIM.
Thanks for heads up on blackberry stackman. Thanks bbrock didn't know they had their own network in other countries. I definitely plan on making a simple mobile website then. Still thinking about the niche, but build a simple mobile website and I will be able to at least drive some cheap traffic to it. Then I can use the website to collect emails or maybe even collect phone numbers or run ads on it.
Admoda has some potential. I got my first 3 conversions today. Not much, but now I know it can convert. It was for US Android traffic for a dating offer. I screwed up tracking so I don't know what device converted. Now I need to learn how to set up my tracking properly and use a landing page.
Landing page is key!
My initial LP sucked: 897 impressions 59 clicks CTR: 6.58%, but it did get 3 conversions. Now I'm trying out a new landing page.
My new ads have gotten much better CTR. Overall avg: 0.34%
Next step: Create more ads and test more landing pages. Also test the same offer from a different network. Also trying to find new traffic sources to see if I can scale it and get more volume. Volume is still very low. After several hours of running the ads in a campaign each ad only got about 5-7k impressions. I'm guessing I have to break ads into more campaigns and have fewer ads in each campaign in order to get more impressions over all.
Maybe try other countries? Only targeting US Android for now. According to their data, with my targeting they get about 1.8 million requests in daily traffic. After doing the math that definitely isn't enough traffic when its being divided up amongst all the advertisers and campaigns being run with the same targeting. Must find a bigger volume traffic source.
Yep , as said before they have cheap but limited traffic.
If you want volume for banners go to platforms that are plugged into the DSPs ( InCrowd , Sitescout etc ).
