I have almost 3000 USD on MGID (13)

---

Any tips or idea what to do with it? Had some break-even campaigns in the past (3 years ago) and this is whats left in the account, haha.

Got account with Mobidea, maxxbounty.com and Adcombo... Can you recommend what GEOs to target and also what kind of offers would you aim for in my situation? Starting from the scratch again... Thank you :-)

I’d recommend spying to get an idea of what’s working. Adplexity could give you a lot of data about MGID in many geos.

They have a new feature called "traffic insights"
Go to Add New Campaign -> Traffic Insights

Check out where the low competition is, best performing geos, average cpc's, etc. If you ask anyone at mgid for geo recommendations I'm sure they will steer you here.

Hi, if you have an active account with them I would go ahead and try forex & crypto offers as they don't accept new accounts for that niche anymore, that will be your Edge.
if you need I have a direct broker offer and creatives with a high payout for Europe; mainly IT, PL, DE, please SKype me if this is interesting for you: live:yahly.b.skype

I still see plenty of dating offers advertised on many native platforms, not just MGID ... you might want to give it a go.

---

Any thoughts on networks to take a look at for hot mainstream dating offers? I know ClickBooth has some, & TopOffers has a couple of the big ones directly (worse payout terms here though) -- any suggestions to where can I find the rest? :P other Russian/Asian/general/niche/etc

Dating definitely seems to be dominating mgid, but from my understanding it's mostly being dominated by direct advertisers.

From my experience most networks will offer unrealistically low payouts for dating due to low demand for native traffic from advertisers, due to the theory that they already dominate most of native traffic sources directly, such as mgid.

Anyone with experience, please correct me if i'm wrong here

---

Low initial payouts are a reality, but I'm not sure whether it's because of the reasons you specified. Many networks simply operate this way, high margins is what they are after ... or they are just trying to be careful at the beginning. This is another reason why it's a good idea to stick with a limited amount of solid networks and form a proper biz relationship with them, then it's all easier.

---

Sorry man, I'm mostly using adult offers now when it comes to dating, so can't really give you qualified and recent advice here

What I wrote definitely isn't certain, simply based on my experience.

I've been around long enough to know the drill when it comes to forming new relationships with advertisers, and the process they go about establishing relationships with new affiliates which includes low caps/payouts in order to protect themselves from low quality/fraudulent traffic.

What I've based my comment on is straight forward from my discussions with advertisers and traffic sources when doing my research about native dating;

- Advertisers/networks stated that they have low demand for native therefore can't offer high caps/payouts (although they did offer higher payouts for different traffic channels such as email/fb/adwords)
- traffic sources stated that most offers are being run directly by advertisers/networks.

Following this, i've made the simple math that perhaps the large dating advertisers who's offers we mostly see on native traffic sources are being run directly by them, therefore the demand is lower.

It also makes sense to me, considering the fact that dating is an evergreen vertical that has been around for so long compared to other verticals, and this gave time for advertisers to figure out and dominate certain traffic channels such as native on their own.

this still doesn't mean that there are some advertisers out there who haven't cracked native and still have demand for native affiliate run campaigns. I simply haven't managed to find them

Possibly i am completely wrong, but this is just my opinion

What you say makes sense for sure and it might be true as well, or at least to some extent.

Based on my experience it usually comes down to this : advertisers do run direct, but for them it's often a problem to optimize properly ... they hire less experienced media buyers, since the pros work for themselves. Thus, even though they have higher margins, skilled media buyer can still outperform them. This way, it's still better for them to work with affiliates instead of managing an internal team. But still, they can only afford to pay "so much" per lead in order to stay profitable and some traffic types (like email/fb and adwords that you mentioned) are simply known for higher overall value of the customers they bring ... so that could explain the will to pay more per such lead.

In reality, the truth will be somewhere in the middle as it usually is Native sources are easier to dominate than google or facebook, where you simply CANNOT buy all the traffic they have. Even more so with email, where there are countless email lists in existance ... combine it with the lower quality of native traffic and there should be our answer
