Flat Rate offer? (3)

Flat Rate offer?

so i'm running a adult dating offer in a country that isn't quite popular, which is good because that means cheap traffic and no saturation, although this country has a lot of porn sites specifically targeted. ive been sourcing out some traffic sources directed to those certain sites, and a lot of them only do flat rate offers


so my question is.. I have never done a flat rate offer. I would absolutely love to push as much traffic as possible to these sites as I have seen a banner CTR of over 1%... as high as 1.4%


no kidding right?


I really really badly want to push as much traffic to these sites as much as possible. I have never done a flat rate offer. is there anything I should know? anything I should pay attention to? what should I expect

thank you

Ask if a 7-days buy is available. If the country has little volume, I doubt they would take that offer though...

On my first buy last year, I did not negotiate with the network and just take up whatever they offered me. It was a 30 days buy and cost $xx,xxx. Me, of course, could have negotiated a better CPM + a 7 days test, however I was too naive and didn't do much research on it... Ended up my ROI was -70%... lesson learnt there.

NEGOTIATE --->>> Always put this in mind when dealing with flat rate buy!

alright, will do!

thank you


and I suppose the biggest thing is doing a bit of math and see how workable it would be.

one ad network sent me a list with their prices, set at a per week basis. although they don't seem to list prices per country. I will have to get back at them
