Hey Fede, seems the attachments aren't working (maybe just for me?). Imgur and using the forum BB code normally works better for image attachments 
Otherwise, can you use a Python script to pause campaigns if they hit 5x payout without a conversion? Will help you avoid overspending.
Landing page is a good idea as a next step, might need that to warm up your leads. Though I'd test more than just 1. Have you looked at spy tools like Adplexity to see what works for others?
Looking forward to the rest of this follow-along, always interested in seeing AMers use more automation!

roland! thank you for your reply man!!! damn! didnt test the images, now I reuploaded :/
...at this point the two campaigns spent like 30$ each with only ONE conversion at 0.50$ ... INSANE!!!! what is shitty here? the offer? the traffic type? Zeropark should be very solid no?
The script to block the campaigns at 5x spend it's probably gonna be the next thing I'm gonna do!
I'm gonna test that offer in a couple more geos and maybe take the same one from another affiliate network
, will post info & results these days !

Zeropark is actually one of the sources with lowest traffic quality, that's why the prices are where they are

There is LOAD of bots in there, the only way to make it work is to block the placements with the highest BOT %. People are making money on zeropark, but it takes a lot of effort. Based on the results you had, I'd say the offer must be quite poor though. When starting out, you always have to test multiple offers, sometimes it takes a rather long time to find a good one.

I really wouldn't stick to this offer, test different ones. The plan to test more networks is very good though

Hypotheses
are these offers just plain bad? Should I just test more geos? (I have other 3 geos with this offer ready, but the payout is higher, like 2$ because they are higher tier)
I really wanna stick with zeropark because of their good APIs and because they integrate sooo easily with my tracker (
Voluum) , but conversions are not popping!
What I'm still gonna try to do
code a landing page with a Javascript mini one-question Quiz on iphoneX, and as a "prize" if they answer right they go to the offer page and have a chance to win one. Can that increase conversion rate?
Apologies for the late reply! Been traveling.
I have 2 suggestions:
1)First of all - are you direct-linking? It sounds like it if you're using the 5x payout rule of thumb.
Sweeps offers don't typically convert well when direct-linked - you need to rip some landers from Adplexity. Here's a post that will get you started:
https://stmforum.com/forum/showthrea...l=1#post324392
I'm writing more newbie lessons - to cover how to use landers, but they're slow in coming because it's difficult to develop a one-size-fits-all/most method. In the meantime, the links in the post above should help.
2)Secondly - Zeropark is a good source in that they have the traffic volume, but the downside of having such volume - as matuloo has pointed out - is that the overall traffic quality is lower due to having good mixed in with the bad. This is because they're getting traffic from many other networks (thus the volume). Will take investing money to cut the crap traffic upfront before you can make profits.
For this reason,
I always suggest to use other networks for testing - such as popads or propellerads - to find the best offer+lander+targeting, before scaling to a source like Zeropark.
Let's start with these - please let me know how you do! And do ask questions as they arise.

Holy fucking shit, I wish I had come across this bit of info months ago. It would have literally saved me thousands of $$$!!

Aw sorry to hear! But it sounds like you've learned a lot from all that investment? Has it paid off for you?
And thanks for the validation!

In addition to the very good info collected above, I think the offer is more suited to email databases. The offer could have converted a lot but if it isn't the case, 0.50 cts for Italy/Spain markets are too light.
Sweeps offers on the competitive GEOs in Europe are generally good only with PPS because the management of the VAD seem too delicate to propose a reasonable lead.
Don't hesitate to test Poland for example, very hot right now

No, I had to take a break because I lost too much $$. I was in the X3 running of the 6WAMC, slowly getting back into things now.
