Diving Headfirst into Mobile - Need Some Assistance Staying Afloat! (1)

---

Hi all...

Greetings from San Diego, the land of beaches, beer and sunshine -- three things I'm quite partial to myself.

I'm new to AM and have been reading on STM for quite a bit, but enough of that - it's time to get dirty.

Here's what I'm running:

Traffic source: Decisive
Vertical: Mobile App
Network: Avazu
Offer(s): SnapDeal Android ($0.27 CPA)
Geo: IN
Budget: $8/day per campaign
Offer flow: Using Voluum; redirects directly to offer page (rather than affiliate link) if country is not India. Direct linking to offer.
Methodology: STM Mobile Appetizer

My first angle was not very successful. -95% ROI, I got a total of 10 conversions. Based on the advice in the Appetizer, I went back and generated another group of banners for a different angle and have uploaded these to Decisive.

This is now running and after 4-5K clicks... no conversions. I'm quite concerned.

Question: This was provided as a top offer by Avazu so I'm assuming it converts fine. If I see 0 conversions after spending so much more than the offer payout - is this a sign of a technical problem? I cloned my original campaign in Voluum and changed the links in Decisive to use the new campaign link. I think this is the only thing that would need to be updated? My pingback link in Avazu should remain the same as well as the settings I have for the offer and the geo exclusion redirect in Voluum. So have I messed up something or am I just getting bad traffic with my ads?

Follow on question: Is there a good way to test the whole offer flow myself? I tried the method mentioned on the forum for spoofing your IP address country via your browser but it did not work with my affiliate link. If I invest in a VPN like HMA will it work any better for at least letting me see what an Indian user sees?

Looking forward to the journey with y'all!
