Hello guys!!
Welcome to yet another nobelium follow along.
I'm already seeing some green with display campaigns (visit my other follow-alongs) but to keep expanding my knowledge, I have now entered the so very trendy "Native Ads".
I'm currently working via a DSP that allows for Native ads and my selected GEO has been ITALY. Tutto benne! Let's begin:
Offer: Horoscopes
Payout: 12$
Carriers: (Wind, TIM and H3G.)
I started the 15th of June with this new project as my AM recommended the Geo to me... I was a bit skeptical but she said we were definately ready to try a country like Italy.
Up until now I've targeted mostly TIM and Wind. H3G did not give me any conversions after 3-4 days... So I dropped them.
Currently:
Spent: 1,963.40$
Revenue: 2,592$
Profit: 628,6$
Native 1: CTR: 2.76% CVR: 0.44% Sign ups: 101
Native 2: CTR: 2.45% CVR: 0.40% Sign ups: 61
Native 3: CTR: 2.69% CVR: 0.52% Sign ups: 55
Today I've cut off Native 2... Created a WL for 3 placements that are achieving very low CPAs 2-4$.
I'm now looking for awesome tips like I got on my other threads or any great idea regarding Native ads, I'm completely new to them so it was a shot in the dark but with the help of my AM we started it off well...
Questions:
- I seem to be stuck on the same CPM (around 1.30$ - 1.60%) no matter what I put on the platform even if I put 5$ it just doesn't seem to increase. Any suggestions?
- What would be a good network to start this same campaign and hopefully scale it even more? I heard Outbrain are top for native ads.
- CTR is quite close as the adverts are very similar, they only change in logo and image but the text is the same for all. Would it be worth hiring a copywriter to get some new texts in Italian? Google translate is alright but it may not be the right way to communicate to the Italian audience.
- Also, Do any of you use Adplexity native ads spy tool ? If that's the case, would you recommend it ?
OK, well, I think that's enough to start a discussion guys, thanks for reading as always!
