I understand your budget is tight - although a lot of guys here start of with less then the $300 you can set aside each week - but upping your bids might be a good next move. It will result in less traffic for your buck on the frontend, but it can also open up better placements with real human inventory so to speak.

Caurmen wrote up a helpful post about angle creation not too long ago:
http://stmforum.com/forum/showthread...-Under-An-Hour
If your spend in the screenshot is adequate, you are buying MY pop traffic for $0.30ct CPM? That might look like a real bargain, but if you are wondering why nobody of those 15k somebodies/pops haven't converted yet, then BOTS might be the answer. With dirt cheap (pop) traffic, in a lot of cases comes a plethora of bot traffic. I'm going to paste a link to another one of Caurmens posts:

Thanks for all the insight bro. I have actually taken all of your suggestions into consideration and read through each of the post. Also, after a conversation with some great STM members I have decided to do a few things before moving forward.
1. I have signed up to ZeroPark
2. I am looking deeper into jennatalia follow along that was suggested by my friend imdutch
3. I have signed up to YTZ and will be attempting to work the Arbitrage a bit further thanks to this guide by thedudeabides. http://stmforum.com/forum/showthread...=thedudeabides
I have always sold my excess traffic and I have actually always based GEOs that I step into based on if I could get that traffic sold for more than I am buying it which is why I buy Malaysia Traffic so cheap. I make the money back from the traffic I am brokering. But its peanuts and way too much clickloss or maybe just simple shitty traffic works against me, this is leading me to look deeper into the dark mystical ways of the Arbitrage.
This is all I have for now and will update tommorrow once I can get things approved.
Ok So Quick Update.
Spoke with Neil over at ZeroPark today. Got Approved!
A couple quick emails back and forth with Marissa from YTZ and got everything approved.
My next move is to set up a few test runs on YTZ from my favorite traffic source and also run another test and see if they can get the traffic to convert that I was previously running with no luck.
I made a few adjustments in my funnel for the MY campaign I posted above and the results look interesting. No Big profit but the flow of the traffic down the funnel and the different ways I am monetizing is what I am looking at in detail.
My next traffic source to test is ZeroPark! Now I dont just want to run in there swinging like a mad man not knowing where I am going. I will take some time to study the forum and see what results of been on ZeroPark whats been possibly working and whats not. There seems to be alot of volume there but I dont want to come in there violating any of the terms of the traffic source. This is not good for business. I will study a few angles get some funnels together so I can get things launched on there in short order. My budget is not huge I will probly wait until Thursday for my paycheck before I give it a run.
Anybody that can perhaps throw me some tips about Hot Geos or Hot Offers that I can run in 3rd Tier Countries on ZeroPark?
I would humbly appreciate it....
If not I wanna test out my MY funnels there and see if the response is any different than PlugRush...
One thing I will say about me is ever since I began this business the one thing I have never done is allow my traffic to stop flowing I always keep something moving even in my failures there are nuggets that help me to grow. FanPages, Adult Blogs, Campaigns, social media marketing, youtube marketing, SEO ( struggled ). These struggles add experiencing in this game. The most important thing is that you keep on keeping on, keep pushing keep testing, keep growing. Its all apart of the business.
For those in attendance for this follow along I want you to know this follow along is not a fast pace rags to riches story but rather the tale of how you can gruel it out through the dark times and begin to see light at the tunnel as long as you keep hope alive!
Thanks for any checkin in and throwin in tips and also to the great post an authors that have assisted me thus far
Stay Tuned for more details on the results. I will reveal every move right or wrong big or small to show how grind eventually pays...
Btw anyone that may wanna connect with me and discuss any IM related tips advice hit me wit a PM.
Ok after a day of running some low volume traffic in through a funnel inspired by jennatalia's post i came back with my first day of stats.
Spend: 7.82
Revenue: 10.84
ROI: +27.85%
From reading through a few of the post it sounds like Im right around the number I should be for this method. As long as I am making profit on my dollar spend that is fine by me.
I have upped the ante on the spending for this campaign and see if i can get this number to rise and stay in profitability.
One small step at a time. Lets see if we can make this baby grow.
My goal is to keep a controllable amount spending while maintaining as positive ROI as possible and scale vertically for the most part. The funnel is being fine tuned to pull out some additional ROI.
I had a misplacement of about 5,000 clicks today and I am looking deeper into that. making sure pages are loading quickly to prevent further click loss than is already visible.
Had a conversation with Jennatalia on skype today and brought a few more things to light for me. Very inspirational!
Stay Tuned for updates on my next set of tweaks.

Today was a real roller coaster with this campaign. Had to make alot of adjustments. Cut a few loosing Geos adjust a few bids. Alot of tweaks. Still working on the backend to squeeze more ROI out of this, but I am not mad at the numbers. Once again profit is profit.
I am excited to see what these adjustments bring on the weekend when ROI in mobile tends to be a bit higher!
Hey mate, good job so far. One recommendation: You're saying to focus on the ROI at this stage. This is way too early. I'd try to just spend as much as possible at this stage, even if running minimal ROI, because it allows you to collect data for free. Data is king, so that's the route I'd take here.
With regards to your bid: definitely split test it. Lower bid doesn't necessarily means lower prices for the traffic. Mind sound confusing, but if you go up in the impression queue, you get fresher impressions that can yield a higher CTR => cheaper clicks to your offer.
PR has a shitload of poor pubs that never converted for me. Make sure to spot patterns there and block one by one - a decent 'global' blacklist will already help your results when launching new campaigns.

Update Guys!
So while I was going through my campaigns and making adjustments I actually found the exact reason my ROI was so low yesterday and made the adjustment. Also I missed out on 2.95 cents that I made from another source on the back end of my funnel. It was nice to see it working so well and I have actually made adjustments to keep those pennies rolling in

Pennies build up over time. I already realize that the potential in this business is incredible and can you a crap ton of money really quickly with the correct Quality Traffic > Enticing Lander > Hot Offer Approach.
Keep in mind these offers will come and go until the end of time. The system or approach my change but the concept will always be the same. Marketing Online is nothing different than everything that you see in the world, Billboard, Commerical Magazines. Its all the same concept at heart.
Anyway i say that to say that my goal here is not to jump on the hottest offer and bank simply because I do not have the budget to compete and I always hear the same " Spend It ALL " Get that " Data " but my question is with someone with not such a huge bank roll. If I spend it all in a day how will capitalize and scale the offer? This game is not for the weak or Broke! My aim is not to check ball size by getting in bidding wars with millionaires lol.
My goal is to build a " asset " a stable business that will generate for me day in and day out with all that traffic out there.
Once I can accumulate enough and I am already getting traffic. Then I will take that approach and use traditional methods on this traffic to test and grow my ROI to considerably larger numbers.
I may be going about this wrong. but I guess there may possibly be more than one way to skin a cat.
Sorry for the winded speech... Maybe I should start a motivational blog for when I wanna babble on like this.

I still have another hour to go for the final stats for today. I'm pretty much burnt out for today between my full-time job and launching and managing these campaigns.
Highest ROI has been Today! I think all the tinkering and cutting unprofitable GEOs and Bid adjustments as finally put me a steady pace and now I will focus on duplicating these campaigns as much times as I can to increase the spend.
I only can spend as much as my budget will allow but I have already put a excel spreadsheet together and based on my budget and reinvesting my profits back into method. I should be able to hit my first 1k week in about 4 weeks ( if i can find the traffic ).
What would be truly amazing is for me to have my first 1k day on adult . That's gonna take about 142.85 in daily revenue.
For now my goal is working up to $50 dollars revenue. Then I'll work on $100
Don't want to get ahead of myself...
So.... yesterday I made a statement that I will quote below

Interesting Day, didn't think or plan to hit that 50 dollars revenue plateau today but hey whose complaining right... I'm not mad. Also I found out i have been doing my ROI calculations incorrectly during this entire follow along and will update each, not tonight however.
I also found out today that there is ton of volume I still haven't even tapped into as yet and need to get my hands on some paper to scale things up further. Hitting consistent 100 dollars days shouldn't be an issue from the looks of the volume I can achieve.
For those on the East Coast of the states you know there is a Hurricane Traveling by the name of Joaquin that is just a few miles away from hitting the Central and Northern Bahamas where I am located. I predict that I will have limited access to internet for a few days and may not be able to update this FA as I would like... So if you see me missing that is probably what happened. I am loading up my traffic sources with enough funds to take me through those days.
Hopefully if things keep going my way maybe I can make it out to one of the affiliate events to get a boost of motivation and network with like minded individuals!
We will see...
P.S. This FA as brought about some other interesting thoughts on how I can take this whole procedure to the next level...

So the Hurricane decided to take a different route.... THANK GOD!

Not much to say just focusing on whats working here... The only thing that upsets me at the moment is the fact that I don't have the bankroll to blow this shit up whiles its profitable.
Met some great individuals today right on this awesome forum and I see more brilliant business in the future.
Glad to hear that this thread and my small achievements have motivated others. I feel there are still some missing pieces to this puzzle to truly take things to the next level.

So upping the bids got me much more traffic but at the expense of ROI.
Will try another approach duplicating the campaigns at the old spend that allowed the 245% ROI and seeing if this will allow more traffic to flow. Dont have a huge budget and dont mind keeping that ROI at a controllable spend. i need to wait on payouts to reinvest and scale.
Thanks to some awesome guys on here that I have met I see bright things in the near future for my business
Stay Tuned....
You are doing great man. GJ
So im little confused. What you do is buy traffic from some adult site and then sell it on ytz?
Or am i missing something here?

Talk about a case of the Moondays! lol Not sure what happened here ROI fell into the lower 18% - 20%... same bids same traffic but just a lot lower traffic revenue and spend. I did notice some Geos that were losing for me for a few days under my nose after dissecting some data.
I ended up lowering bids for a while made some adjustments and then moved the bids back up and got the ROI to pick back up.
I will just allow this to run and see what happens because I'm still kind of confused as to why I was doing 100 revenue with the same formula all weekend but down to such a low revenue today with same metrics.
Looking at some other networks that I can run a similar campaign on and start branching out for other opportunity to increase revenue. I actually got a few campaigns already approved that I can fire up and see if the concept that keeps me profitable right now can be moved to other sources.
Thanks

Not really sure whats happening here with the volume. I am at the same bids I was at on the weekend where I did the 100 dollar revenue days.
I am making adjustments in my bids and targeting but it seems the volume is diminishing. I'm guessing due to competition.
I have some more test I want to try to get the spend up and hopefully maintain ROI
Today's Updates
Spend : $17.60
Revenue : $36.74
ROI : 108%
ROI is back up but Im not getting that volume I saw on the weekend. Just requested my first payment for this method. Which was a payout of $189.00 for the past week since I started this thread. This was generated from a 70 dollar spend. It may not be huge but if its working I guarantee I find a way to scale it into some bigger numbers I have already seen my first 50 dollar day with this method as well as my first 50 dollar profit day and my first 100 dollar day. All plateaus I did not expect to hit so soon.
My next goal is to hit my first 100 dollar profit day and then get this campaign generating a solid 150/daily which would give me 1k weekly and build from there.
One step at a time. I am also working on a media buying guide that will allow me to give myself directions with researching launching and testing campaigns. A sort of road map so that I keep a system and a consistent method. Also for passing duties on to VAs once I get the ball moving.
I may not be Boss status yet in revenue but I will start thinking like a boss from now!
I wanna take this to the next level!
Got to be up early in the morning so i'll drop a quick update here now
Spend : $20.21
Revenue : $31.87
ROI : 57%
I came to some interesting conclusions about my campaigns today. Cutting back a lot of those negatives actually shribbled up my traffic volume. Right now i prefer the volume that I can get then dice up with my tracking solution and extend ROI that way.
My bidding strategy is actually quite interesting as i take a different approach than what is normally been taught through most of my AM career. I take controllable amounts of traffic that my budget can handle to continuously run traffic and then I analyze my data and make continuous modification along the road that allows me to extend ROI even further.
Not sure if it makes sense... on another note I am working on getting my blog off the ground and have created a short simple Media Buying Guide and Im thinkin of using it for bait to opt-in to my email list.
I am not the most familiar with email marketing but I feel if i want to be a Full-Time Marketer and run my own business then I need to be marketing at all times and in as many different varieties as possible.
I always hear the term the money is in the list. Assets is what Im all about building for long-term income. Maybe there are some of you here with experience in that department that would be able to chip in and give me some advice there or i may start another follow along for the building of my blog and email list. Not sure yet
Im turning in for the night!

Didn't have much time to do anything today except adjust a few bids.
Had a killer weekend last week. Not feeling so confident that I will have a repeat of that this weekend after the last few days.
I have work in just a few hours and I just got off so I'm gonna turn up a few bids for the weekend. Keep my fingers crossed and see what happens.
I realized that my final stats would not really show up until the following morning. With this in mind I have shifted my FA update to the morning after where I can more realistically calculate my actual spending and and profit or loss.

I made some interesting adjustments yesterday.
My goal at the beginning was to maintain the 30% ROI as detailed in the method I am using. This is only a temporary method to get me going until I have enough money banked up to test more...
Here comes an interesting roller coaster day in my little AM/IM business world.
Woke up this morning to the usual small numbers that I'm accustomed to, a bit smaller than usual but it was something coming back.
19 spend 24 Revenue at about 8AM...
So i get into my office making the usual tweaks seeing whats working versus what isn't. Im on my actual job at the time and checking in as i can. I see different bids going up other bids going down and im looking for that sweet middle that could perhaps push my ROI just a bit more... ( Don't Laugh ) I notice something interesting and decide to duplicate one of my campaigns that was performing pretty good but it was sitting at a higher bid. I decided to duplicate that campaign and see if I could get the same amount of traffic or maybe a bit less but i was hoping that could extend my ROI.
Set up my campaigns and was using a similar approach to this strategy here ---> http://stmforum.com/forum/showthread...dding+strategy
SideNote : Funny thing about different post and strategies that I read since I joined this forum about 3 weeks ago is that I have already learned alot of these strategies just consistently running campaigns. Reading it coming from the words of High Volume affiliates today just certifies more that I am on the right track to building mega campaigns in my near future. I appreciate this forum and what it does!..
Back to today : I am using the above strategies on a few bids to see what brings me the best amount of traffic for my limited budget so i can spend consistently and monitor data. I set the bid low as usual and stepped out for lunch for ONE Hour and BOOM!!!
Spend : 105.96
Revenue : 54.65
ROI : -48%
Took my first L
Some may of just chalked it up its only 50 bucks... but bump that... thats my fitty!
After checking in on my stats and seeing exactly what happened who ate my budget and why... I found the suspect.
The campaign I had set up before leaving for lunch had somehow " mysteriously " set the bids wayyy higher than I requested and it ended up running through my entire daily budget in about an hour. My daily budget is $100 spend daily currently for those that may want to know. I started at 25/daily once i got something working I moved it up to 50/daily. Now this week I have a 500 dollar payout coming from this method and that mixed with my salary i can finally handle a 100/daily spend on my campaigns consistently.
This is a journey im not trying to blow up over night. I want to take it slow one lesson at a time and show how you can go from nuthin to sumthin in this game! Just take time n master the art, understand and analyze every aspect. Put the pieces to the puzzle together its all right under all of our noses.
Anyway long story short because this is dragging on. Hit up my source they let me know there was a glitch/lag in the system got money reimbursed and back chuggin along. But man o man was this a hectic day. Lesson here... keep an eye on any new campaign you launch when you in that testing the waters phase. I got away today and got my spend back but in the future that could be thousands of dollars and the source may not be so generous towards me even tho it was really their fault!
Actual Stats today
Spend : $55.83

And the roller coaster continues...
Update
Spend : $50.15
Revenue : $47.92
ROI : -04%
Campaign got activated through the night while I was sleeping and through things off yesterday. Spent the entire day closing in the negative cap. Still came up losing some beer money. All Good..
Today I am having the same issue and I have been noticing some extensive click discrepancy issues. Traffic Source is showing that I had 17,000 Hits but my Tracker ( IMobiTrax ) is only registering 11,000 for some reason. I have already sent off email to find out what could be the possible issue.
I currently have a VPS Server from Beyond Hosting with LiteSpeed Service with IMoBitrax for my tracking solution.
Anyone with any possible experiencing can perhaps give me some insider on why I am losing so many clicks. I understand click loss but I am usually only account for about 10 - 20% click loss. The above mentioned is around 40% I am looking into resolving this issue as soon as possible.
Also I have added another modifcation to my funnels that should help me increase some more ROI on the back end of things.
Lets see how these changes affect my weekend.
And the fun don't stop...
What an awesomely horrible weekend.
First I run into a shitload of Click Discreprancy and Loss. I speak with support at my traffic source and I find the source of the issue and spend the entire night blacklisting about 200 sites. Next day ( Friday ) things are moving smoothly again until that evening when I notice I am having another issue and then BAM... My server apparently goes down. WTF! Im sending a ton of traffic and noticing a drop off in whats converting for me and even more click discrepancies.
ROI begins sinking on Friday. I shut down some campaigns until I have time to analyze and find the leak... I needed to get to the bottom of what my issue was...
Everything appears to come back up and online and things seem to be running smooth again. So I load up my source with about $400 and my goal was to hit this weekend HARD as possible and scale.
Friday Stats
Spend : 46.29
Revenue : 54.57
ROI : +17%
So Traffic source rolls over for the next day and I notice that it appears my leak is getting even worst on Saturday Morning. I launch my investigation to get to the bottom of whats causing these campaigns to go haywire. I attack my Server provider ( Beyond Hosting ) only to find that the dumbest of dumb things has happened to me to cause so much saturday morning greif.
My tracking domain for my server had expired.... 
... WOW!
Even Worse....
I couldn't get access to the email where this information was stored to try and pay the domain and get things back up. After Saturday morning back and forth and thoughts of starting a new domain with tracking which would cost a whole entire nother issue I finally got into the account where i originally bought the domain. Keep in mind this domain was bought about 2 years ago when i first began understanding and pursuing paid traffic advertising and media buying.
I get back into the account pay my bill DNS is back up and I can access my sites again but for some reason all my campaigns that I just fired up are still in a sinking hole and I can't stop the bleeding. I decided to just shut down everything and Just step away from it all for a few hours... went out had a few with my fam and just got my mind off of things for a few hours.
When I got back home and went back in to try make sense of things and spoke with the domain owner support rather than tracking server support and it was brought to my attention that because my Domain was totally brought down it takes it about 48 hours to Propagate. Which I am aware of but fully understand how that was just screwing up everything for me. its the reason it starting going down on Friday and fully went down Saturday and the reason I lost on Saturday and still trying to get a grip on things even Sunday right now.
Saturday Stats
Spend : 38.40
Revenue : 22.80
ROI : -40%
As it stands today I am running minimally and checking with a few sites to waiting fully propagation on my domain. Its working in some countries but others it is having an issue.
I am just upset with myself because I have said time and time again my issue with running my business as always been management and something like this could of been avoided by me just paying attention to the small details. In any case this is just another lesson learned as I move through this journey.
Todays Stats ( Sunday )
Spend : $5.50

ROI : +12%
It has been close to 48 since I began this whole DNS propaganda and I will be turning up the traffic up a notch in about 2 hours when its 12am to see if I can get things back on a steady pace.
Once again this has been an extremely crazy weekend man....
This week im looking to do two things to start expanding my reach.
1. Getting some test going on other sources ( ZeroPark, PopAds, AdCash)
2. I had a huge campaign that I ran last year on GDN made about 50k revenue 26 net profit on that one offer until I got banned. Looking into how I can get back on that gravy train and maybe that offer can still do some numbers for me. I want to perfect my art of the G Dance anyway.
I have this thing im working on this FA going and making some profits but i don't see much opportunity to grow the way I would like. I will continue to explore more avenues overall.

Ups and Downs continue... This whole process as brought me to another whole entire idea. Which is setting up an asset. I need to make money long term because my goal is to be a full-time affiliate by next year June and Im thinking maybe I should look into building something that perhaps gain a bit of ground since im already in the process of getting traffic and im monetizing it in different ways. How Can i build something that will perhaps bring returns users rather than just continually churning and burning campaigns.
What if there was a way I can have traffic without the need of purchasing everyday?
I am already going to different traffic companies and harnessing their traffic. What If I could " Own " my traffic....
I think building assets is a key component to long term success in this business and I will keep that mentality moving forward.... After all paid campaigns is an expensive venture... I need budget!
i think maybe you should focus purely on just your campaigns and not think too much about the rest. for some reason this particular trade answers your questions automatically if you focus more on your campaigns... maybe because its also in the interest of other affiliates.

Keep in mind as I have said time and time again. This is not a get rich quick journal. Just good old fashion putting in work and showing that with persistence and consistence you can achieve.
Sorry that I am not able to post everyday as I would like but I have been putting in some MAJOR work and seeing some amazing potential and possibilities in my entire business.
This was a powerful and moving thread for me that showed me that my change of focus is not such a bad one. Very Inspirational stuff

When I started this post it was clear that the +30% profit was the mark and I notice day after day running the traffic I have seen that steady.
This is the beginning of a beautiful thing. Maybe I am too early but I am already investing my profit back into system to make this a even greater master piece.
Until Next Time Stackers!
You're doing great man, I know that 30% ROI maybe doesn't sound like much compared with crazy 100%+ ROI we usually read here and there but if you think about there are very few investments with two digits ROI, so keep rocking!
So.... Today is going to be my final post on STM for a few months... I will be canceling my membership once i complete this...
No need to worry this is not a throw in the towel post. Neither is it a farewell. I will be back. I have learned so much from this community mixed with experiences I have garnered over time in this business. I am consistently making money with AM.
Not in the way many may think and this is part of the reason I will be closing this particular follow along.

Very Interesting Stuff I Think...
I have added a few twist to this method that allows me to generate an email list on a daily basis as well as growing the presence of a few adult style websites that I own. So everyday I have eyes looking at my site while generating a small revenue and then marketing to the individuals that may return if they like the material
This has become much more than a typical " campaign " if you ask me so this is very much the reason for me closing out this follow along and due to other financial woes at the moment I realize that now is not the time for me to be firing up campaigns and testing out new offers because i simply do not have the budget at the moment. I have a few seeds already sowed and I am growing my traffic everyday and I am certain that in time it will allow me to create a set " budget " to test campaigns and offers the way I would like to in the future.
Now is just not the time so for now farewell to everybody here and look forward to seeing you in a future follow along when i return with a mean budget and proven system to reap some profits
Total Revenue Generated with this method.
Spend : $1,460.64
Revenue : $2,071.64
ROI : +41.83
An extra 600 bucks is nothing to scream at. Consistency is key factor. I keep thinking in my mind.
I want to build a sustainable business...
Good stuff man. Wishing you the best. !!
This gave a different angle to what I do. Its nice post. I really want to try this and understand how it works.
Nice progress.
