Newbie question: how to test an offer properly? (6)

So I launched a couple of campaigns with landers in different GEOs. So far, with over hundred clicks, no conversion. I wanted to make sure the offers are set up properly, so I used VPN to change my IP address to the right GEO and clicked on the offer through the landers. But I was redirected to many different things and none of them were the offers for the campaign.

The offers are from AdworkMedia and Mobidea.

Please help!

There are GEO and/or Carrier redirects on those offers, so unless you have a SIM card from the required carrier, you will have a hard time loading the actual offer url.

A 100 clicks is not that much, so it's quite normal to not have a conversion. Unless these are very qualified banner clicks for example. In case of POPs, it's absolutely normal. I guess you are directlinking too ... so really, nothing special to be without a conversion.

At this point, you need to make sure that you are buying just that traffic that has a chance to convert - so proper carrier and GEO. It might be worth it to run a BOT test too ... carrier traffic is less poluted with bots, but it got a bit worse lately there as well.

Oh, that certainly answered my question. Thanks! I'll keep running the offer then.

If there are no other targeting options set then that should be ok. Have a look at the following threads:

They should help shed light on multiple options for testing your offers.
