Hi everyone, I am new in Stack that money and I have been making money from adsense and ECPM for almost 2 years, during this period of time I have had a profit of around 40.000€ thanks to organic traffic but now I am to focus on buying traffic and go for the next level!
I want to focus on mobile traffic as I think it will increase its importance during the following years.
Which vertical do you recommend me to start? I am thinking about dating or utilities.
Which ad network do you recoomend to start? I am thinking about starting with Decisive.
Thanks a lot for your help.
Hello and welcome to STM!
FYI, I'm going to be putting up a big, detailed guide to what's working in 2015 at the end of the week! However, until then here are some brief thoughts:
Mobile: dating's a bit tricky but if you have a good idea you can make it work. Utilities I'd recommend avoiding right now - they've been seriously over-saturated. PIN submits and sweeps are good - check out MrGreen's amazing guide to sweeps over here: http://stmforum.com/forum/showthread...080#post233080
Ad network: Decisive's a good place to learn the ropes because they've got quite an accessible interface. A lot of people recommend Go2mobi too, so take your pick from them. In the longer term you'll want to diversify into a bunch of networks, most likely.
Hope that helps!
I agree with caurmen, pin submits and sweepstakes are working very well right now across various GEOs:
Pins in IT, TH, MY, PL...
Sweeps in ES, IT, PL, FR...
Of course in other GEOs as well.
as for traffic source, Go2Mobi seems to be popular at the moment for mobile with a very user friendly interface.
BTW, cant wait for your guide caurmen!
Thanks a lot for your great help!
I am considering to start with an offer which is converting quiet good in dating and has a EPC of 0.03€. What do you think about this EPC?
I already founded with the first 100$ Decisive 
I read its important to use landing pages but I have a doubt here. Should I use landing page for an app installation?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
EPC on itself doesnt say much so I cant really comment on that.
LPs are usually recommended (especially in Dating). There is a theory that in mobile, making the flow longer (as in using a LP) can hurt your CR as it takes longer for it to load on a mobile device and can make you lose users in the process.
But most affiliates will tell you to use a LP.
I will say - split test.
