Campaign acted weird. Help Please (4)

---

Hi
I just started a campaign on propeller with $10(POP). I started with 3 LPs and it converted good(got me 4 conversions~$12). I removed one bad LP and continued with other 2 and increased the budget to 20 of same campaign. Strangely there was no conversion this time. I spent another $5 to same campaign and I got nothing.

I am confused what happened here. Is it that traffic source started sending bad traffic? If yes, how should I control it?
May be my pages got blacklisted on google?

Thanks

Update: Propeller started rejecting my campaigns saying there is malware on Landing page. I ripped pages from adplexity according to vortex tutorials. I check on kaspersky and it showed that its malicious.
The clicks that I am seeing on affiliate network are much less than what I am seeing on Voluum.

Is it that my Lps are blocked by google? How can I check it

Don´t worry, this is no weird behavior

It happens more often that you have some early conversions and then no more for some time.

That´s why it´s important to keep a campaign running for some time.

Performance can vary between different hours or days, can also vary depending on which placements send traffic or other factors.

And from your number it seems that you didn´t give it enough time and budget at all to judge anything about the real performance.

As a rough rule of thumb you can take this formula

Number of landing pages x number of offers x average offer payout x 10 = Test budget

I don´t know how many offers you tested but assuming you had 3 landers and 1 offer with $3 payout the absolute minimum you should spend on it would be $45, and that only when you see no signs of success.

But the offer converted few times so it seems that it´s working.
Then you should spend at least $90 on the campaign.

$15 or $25 is way too less to call it a fail, especially when you already had $12 revenue.

How did you know that the LP is bad?

4 conversions are not enough to see if 1 out of 3 landers is bad.

Did you clean the landers properly before you used them?

If not better do it, there can be malicious code included as well as code to redirect traffic from you to others.
Often there is also tracking code from the other affiliate, that should be removed as well.

Do you mean incoming clicks = visits or outgoing clicks from LP to CPA network?

And about what difference do we speak?

Without more details it´s impossible to see what the reason could be.

HERE you can check if it´s flagged by Google Safe Browsing.

HERE and HERE you can check your sites as well and also get results from other services.

Thanks alot for response. It cleared alot of doubts.

Voluum shows clicks from LP to offer page and affiliate network is showing clicks that the offer page received. The different is around 50%.

Can you post screens from the tracker stats?

Some trafficloss is normal but usually the trafficloss happens from trafficsource to tracker.

When the user clicks from the lander to the offer there shouldn´t be much loss, especially not around 50%.
