1,100% ROI with SiteScout

Hey everyone,

Just thought I'd share my experience with SiteScout in the last 2 weeks:



This was my first campaign with them. I started running it on 1 website and added more websites daily.

No big mystery here. I've tested a new banner set every day and stuck to the one that worked best.

My experience with SS was great. They have some top-notch inventory that converted very well for me, and I highly recommend them.

Now go open an account with SS if you haven't already and get to work ;-)

I just love how someone says "x traffic 'sucks' "and then someone posts numbers like this.

thank you Ran

Absolutely... for me anyway, it's the simplest form of buying traffic. Less restrictions, extremely scalable, fast results. Love it.

You are right!

It's a YouTube downloader software I had developed using oDesk (cost me $300).

I've bundled it with a toolbar that pays me ~$1.5 per US install (users need to check a box during install - it's not pre-checked!).

The toolbar deal I have is quite unique and I got it form personal contacts - and only after committing on hitting 5K installs/day in the first month.

If you're interested in going that rout, you can find a "no-minimum installs required" toolbar deals on Conduit.com.

Best of luck,
Ran

sitescout is dope as hell

10-20-2011 10:12 AM #14 tijn (Moderator)

great great post & follow up Ran.

The ROI does that factor in people taking out the 'paid' $19 tool bar or only the $1.5 per install?

This is a great idea and good example of using tested traffic networks and techniques (sitescout) but with a unique and different offer.

shoent -> nice numbers!! Would be great to get some more insight in what your doing like Ran has posted.

Cheers

Tijn

Lol damn Ran that is a lot more info than I expected. Good on you for getting creative!

There's no "paid" version at all

The free/paid comparison table is just there to get people to feel it's a good deal... People get suspicious when they're offered free stuff. By explaining that the "catch" is that I'm counting on upgrades - they feel more comfortable using the "free version".

BTW - the "free vs paid" page is currently the best converting page I have, according to Website Optimizer.

If you don't see it, delete your cookies and head directly to http://www.tube2file.com/compare.php

Thanks a lot!

no paid version? oh wow, classic.

10-20-2011 01:21 PM #21 ranaroussi ()

tijn - About 4% click on the paid link. The rest just go for the free version.

I've set it up so it appears that the "paid" version also have 3GP audio. Most people don't even know (or care) for this format ;-)

10-20-2011 01:23 PM #22 tijn (Moderator)

hmmm. thats quit good. if 25% of those convert you would have made an extra $3500

10-20-2011 01:23 PM #23 tijn (Moderator)

and then do a classic cialdini trick of having a platinum version as well

From the lander:
"Recommendation: Download the free version first. You will only need to upgrade to the premium version if you need to convert videos to either .3gp audio or .webm video formats."

Nicely done! Badass campaign!

Congrats - very creative!

10-21-2011 12:07 PM #29 kokofai ()

This is indeed a very good post to inspire people being original in the making money idea!

How often can you see a campaign yield 1000% ROI within 2 weeks time? This is really awesome! Great post really! Thanks!

I need to look into this. Numbers look good

Hi Ran, I have opened account with SS and trying dating campaigns with negative ROI of 95%.. and your campaign looks soooo easy....any help will be appreciated

12-11-2011 02:01 AM #32 andy_d (Veteran Member)

the image in the original thread is down.. love the idea/concept, nicely done

12-11-2011 05:54 AM #33 bhaskar (Member)

HI Shoent,


Followed all instructions and struggling at SS on dating offers. Most sites block my ads at the bagining…other sites few clicks… no conversion…tried all combinations…any advice will be appreciated

Hi Dr Sitescout
Excellent presentation on the SS webinar... could you shed any clues as to why this "tool bar technique" works so well... many thanks

12-11-2011 06:03 AM #35 bhaskar (Member)

hi tijn
Could you please shed some clues as to why everybody is not trying this technique ( tool-bar-insertion)... it looks sooooooooo easy ...is it really that easy to do i wonder ...many thanks
