Getting Kicked Off An Offer For Too Much Traffic?!? (8)

Getting Kicked Off An Offer For Too Much Traffic?!?

Hi all,


Just seeing if anyone else has gotten this problem. I was just contacted by my AM that I will get kicked off an offer if I can't get it to +5% conversion rate (I currently run at around 0.5% since I do Pops so quality is not exactly great). But has anyone ever had to deal with this?

Their concern is because I increase their tracking costs from the high volume of clicks, but my lead quality is okay. I don't really see that much of an issue if I have a CTR of 30% and I am able to pay for tracking on my end and am seeing if there is anything I can do to talk my way out of it. Any suggestion would be appreciated, thanks.

My stats for this offer in last 30 days:

Maybe I am misunderstanding, but it seems like you are not getting kicked off for too much traffic, you are getting kicked off for too low traffic quality?

Not sure if I get your question exactly. But I asked for a lead quality check earlier this week and was told my quality was good. Also pops are allowed as per their criteria so I don't think I'm doing anything wrong hence why I feel a bit bummed out about this.

My understanding of the situation was they wanted higher conversion rates because they wanted to reduce their spend on their own tracking costs. Honestly this just never really occurred to me to be an issue since I thought for a vertical + TS combo like sweeps + pops, it would just be normal to have low conversion rates since the traffic cost is low as well.

Just seeing if anyone else has encountered or heard of this issue as I haven't seem to have read anything about this, I'd be fine with getting kicked off if my lead quality is low.

Hey Sushi,
Usually when they do this it's not so much based on quality but click volume.
Most networks pay around $0.0008 per additional click outside of there agreed amount.
Best bet is to use a lander.

^^ Agreed just make your funnel longer. You shouldn't lose out too much on conversions.

Thanks all, I am using a LP already but admittedly the LP has all the standard backbutton redirects and popunder on close all directing to the offer page, I could redirect that but getting from 0.5% to 5% will be hard but as per Mr Green suggestion I'll run it by my AM to see if they can settle at 2.5% or something.

You can also try to negotiate a lower payout, but which let's you keep running high volume traffic. High volumes at lower profit margins can be just as valuable as low volumes at high profit margins.

It happened to me too, probably because you are not being "fair" with your landers through the offer, i know it sucks because if you are too "white hat" leads won't come easily, especially on CPA offers.
