Never really been into pops, will follow! GL
wow, how the hell you manage all these campaigns??
Hey, read your follow-along, congratz on your success. Looking forward to seeing progress here!
I've got the problem: so few European traffic (SR, SE etc) in popads and popcash, so I will test many different sources. Another problem - a lot of dead offers for sweeps and dating. Yesterday I did A/B test of 5 offers (sweeps):
1 - 0 leads
2 - 1 lead
3 - 16 leads
4 - 0 leads
5 - 0 leads
I could not write a report before, so I write now.

Comment: So I will optimize my camp.
So it was my test and today I launched a lot of new campaigns. In next report I will tell how I optimize my camps.
Today is my birthday (I have UTC+2). So I am 19 years old now 
Wow, nice to see someone with a big drive, thats some nice testing going on here 
I dont think you need any comments from me now, just one maybe - plugrush usually isnt a good source for adult dating, all advertisers I sent this traffic to, complained about quality pretty fast. So if you hit something there, make sure to mix it with traffic from other sources too.
First of all, Happy Birthday!! 
Although it's good to cast a wide net when testing, I believe you would get better results if you focused on a single vertical and just mass-test offers.
For example: You have a really good lander for antivirus. This means you must tested a lot of other antivirus landers. If I were you, I would translate for example the best 5 landers, and just test 10-20 different geos.
Just by translating into Spanish and Arabic, you'll be able to test many geos in Africa and Latin America. And maybe also translate into some Asian languages to test Asian geos as well.
Also - are you testing multiple offers for each camp? If not I would highly suggest it. Doing this will maximize your chances of finding profitable campaigns - instead of just testing one offer at a time.
Thanks for the interesting follow-along! I'll be watching this one...
Amy
Guys please help me. What CTR for sweeps landers do you have (iPhone6s wins)?
Now I have about 1,5-2.5% and it works not really good. What CTR is normal for this vertical?
Happy 19th, and wow you're really creating a ton of campaigns! The CTR really depends on the geo, in Scandinavian GEOs I've been close to break-even with 0.5-2.5% CTR with a lightning-fast converting lander, taking the same lander to tier 3 gives 5%-10%, many others have been having weird CTRs, have yet to find a good explanation other than improve your load speed/copy or check for bots. Another guy running in another GEO got 40% CTR but the CVR so low that it was about the same ROI as my SE campaign...
Some traffic sources give lower CTR, though that differs per GEO too.
Since you're using pixelK (I just looked it up and wow it looks really really nice) you can use their load time feature if you haven't already.
Tried a ton of stuff to "fix" my CTR, even RUM split tested a VPS vs Amazon S3 vs
You may be able to make it work in spite of the low CTR, somehow the CVR made up for the low CTR in my case, not enough, but the stats did "make sense".
Thank you very much vortex and ysekse!
Did you test revtop.com? I just now test this source so I didn't find any information about it.
How I test offers?
The most important thing I learned from my experience with AM:
- Never seriously perceive manager tips (listen, of course, but that does not mean that you should test this offer, it often happens that the manager gives the Offer, it can be cool in their statistics, but it don't works for you).
- Test several landers. Many landers. Better to 5 pieces at least, and with different approaches. Then I choose the best, and on its basis do another 3-5 other.
- Test a lot of offers. Yes, all offers you can find in this geo and vertical. Example: offer sweep iPhone, geo UK. I find all these offers in KD and Adsimilis and I added all of it in my campaign. And probably, very strange, huh ?, about 80% of it did not give leads. But offers have almost the same payouts.
- Always check your landers, very often happens that the downloaded land have a button missing, or the script does not work.
These tips are suitable only for those who have a big budgets for the tests.
P.S. Did somebody test 50red? I want to try everything, but the minimum $ 500 scares me.
50onred is just another source, like many out there, it might work for you and it might not 
Its true that in some cases, you shouldnt really live by the tips from AMs, sometimes they just need some traffic to certain offers so they will ask for it, promising results that simply arent possible. Its really about trust here, thats why its important to build a relationship with AMs from networks you really want to work with for a long time. With some networks, I have an AM that gives me fresh data every morning, but I also have a network where I know I need to do exactly the opposite as the AM tells me
To keep it fair, I need to add its just one network, usually the AMs are helpful.
i think this is very good results
i see you celebrated birthday, so if you want write me on skype: r.methads im give your free 10.000 pops traffic in my ad network for test.
Yesterday I tested new traffic sourse.
GEO: EU, Offer: Sweep.

I didnt see if you mentioned, but what tracking software do you use? How many visits/month do you get and If self hosted platform, what is your server configuration?
Btw.. Stunning results by the way!
Nice numbers! I would highly suggest scaling this camp to several other sources ASAP. You can always optimize further later.

Hey!
I made course about mobile AM with my friend. So we need an affiliate network who can approve newbies (people with no experience, but with budgets). So we will teach them and they will run traffic 
So we need:
- Fast approve for about 80 people (70% of people don't have any experience)
- A lot of offers (Primary Pins, Sweeps, Dating, Installs)
- Good support
- Not too big min. sum to pay (<500$)
PM me or write on Skype mrbraun31
Hey guys!
For a long time I have not posted here 
So my plans until 19.06:
- Run 23 new campaigns (EU AV Pins)
- Run 10 new campaigns (Asia AV Pins)
- Run 5 new campaigns (EU sweeps)
- Test some new sources.
- Start to work with banners
- Start writing a manual about pop traffic, which I will post here for all members.
Hey!
So campaigns was made. So now I'm testing about 28 new geos (AV pins and sweeps)
Is any good traffic in Adcash? Because I and about 100 my friends didn't find it there 
I have a lot of Skype adds from the forum and people who want to get some tips. So I can give you it completely free. But you gotta know that I don't have cases for all people who write me
