Several AM questions (2)

---

Hi,

I've read through the forum and had a few questions during my research. I've bunched them up and they vary in topic, please let me know if I should split these questions up and post them elsewhere.

1. Do you jump around several offers throwing up quickly made banners (or using the offers' banners) and testing to see if the offer has potential (such as a reasonable ROI) before any real work is put in on ads/landers? Or, do you focus on special offers and spend time making good make ads/landers before spending money on paid traffic?

2. How many campaigns and offers are you running/testing at once?

3. I've read that traffic quality changes as the bid price changes as in bidding too low may result in low volumes and low quality. Did I misread that and low quality meant low volume, or do you actually get lower quality traffic that is less likely to convert? In that case, how does a traffic network determine whether an ad viewer is low quality?

4. Someone in the forum mentioned not running traffic under your personal name. Does this mean everyone should be running as a business and do you apply to affiliatenetworks as a personal or business entity?

5. How do most AMs handle copyrights? Do most AMs stay compliant or are most meh about it? Also, how ripped landers be dealt with...are the copy and images contained within protected by copyright? After all they just usually ripped from hundreds of other AMs.

6. Any recommendations where I can source good graphics such as phone or tablet screens (not stock photos) that can be worked with in photoshop?


7. There was a post that said newbies should be running mobile pops and FB whitehat. I imagine FB whitehat would be game offers...what other offers? I'm not entirely sure what newbie offers should be run in 2018 outside of mobile pop sweeps and pin submits for games. Any more direction would be very helpful.

Thank you for looking through the questions. This place has a ton of information!

Hey Powerbit, nice questions

Let me get on each of them separately.

Creating a new banner or lander for each new offer/campaign without an initial test, will just slow things down. The quickest way would be using already tested banners / landers or just borrow some banners or landers from spy tools (according to offer's vertical) to see if the offer works. In case there is some potential in that offer, spending some time on new creatives and variations can help on improving the ROI and prevent eye blindness.

I believe in this question, instead of campaigns you meant landers
Anyway, if you're looking to make decent money in AM, launching as many campaigns as possible is the way.
About landers: When you just start out, I'd say it would be best to test as many offers and landers as possible. This will help on getting a better understanding on what type of landers / banners have better performance or are more appealing to the visitor. Once identified a winner 2-3 offers and landers are more than enough to test a new camp.

It is true. Traffic quality tends to be higher on higher price ranges. Likewise on low priced placements where there is no competition the conversion rate tends to be extremely low or zero. When it comes to volumes, then it's a traffic source specific matter as there are some sources where you can get huge volumes on low rates (but less to no quality) and there are some others that make things a bit easier by cutting out shitty placements. If no conversions are being posted on a traffic network, the bidding rates and the number of marketers competing for the same placement should determine if the placement is decent.

You can run on personal name almost everywhere, traffic networks, offer networks, tools and services - you name it. If you run volumes and stay compliant, no one has a reason to say no.

This post from Zeno should be the best answer to your question

If you have no previous experience in AM, start with Pops/Redirects. It's the cheapest traffic type you can learn the basics without putting too much on risk. Sources like Facebook or Native ads that is getting quite a lot of attention lately, require higher budgets. Besides this, as for now I think your main focus should be learning the process more than generating money. So stick to Pops since you'll have fewer variables on which to optimize.

Last suggestion!

Since you already have some background in web development, don't avoid landers. They definitely make optimization way more reliable as well as help you improve your funnels.

Cheers!
