DaVaJJ - Mobile Follow Along (Contest) | From Zero To Hero

This will be my first follow along. I've been doing mobile for a 2-3 months now but never had any real success with it.
But it's all about to change

To add some spice to the soup I've deiced to use PoF as my traffic source. I haven't really seen any study's about it, so why not do one now?
Hopefully it's a goldmine with the right offer.


Offers: C-Date UK (Mobile Optimized) & $500 Best Buy Gift Card
Payout: $3.00 / Lead and $1.00 / Lead
Traffic source: PoF Ads
Budget: $200
Network: Neverblue
Targeting: UK & US / iPhones & Andriods
Tracking: T202
Method: I'll begin with direct linking this offer and find some #winning ads. Later on I'll make some landing pages to hopefully increase my ROI.

>> C-Date UK <<

Let's begin with the dating offer! I've attached a picture of my targeting below.




I'll begin targeting as many ppl with an iPhone as possible.
Later i'll will begin split-testing with Andriod/Age/Intent/Drinking/Marital Status, if the volume is good.

I'm gonna add all my crazy ads & landing pages later.


Appreciate feeback and will try to answer any question(s) you got!

Nice man I've run POF mobile before, its hugely overlooked. It's gotta be one of the easiest platforms to get a mobile campaign up and running. Good choice.

Wow! I never thought of running mobile on POF

It's being overlooked, as MrGreen said. Let's see if PoF has some mobile traffic to play with!

I'm gonna create some nice/crazy/smart banners tomorrow and post them here + updates. Stay tuned!!!

I for 1 definitely overlooked it (sitescout too), If BEN is here and wants to chime in with some mobile traffic numbers available they have on their system that would be pretty awesome

Yep, some mobile stats would be very cool!

Update:

After hours of researching (dating takes a lot of research ) I'll finally found some good ones!

Today I'll begin creating some more banners / ad copies for my PoF campaign. I'm still waiting to get approved on my first campaign.
Hopefully it will be approved (*blink* Ben *blink*) quickly and then I can post some stats for STM!

All ad copies / banners will be posted soon!

No C-date on POF...I'll save you the wait. Check the list in the POF section. Its an adult offer.

I thought, POF no longer allows mobile inventory!

Damn! Well, let's try another dating offer then! I've seen people making some big numbers with meetMOI.

Edit: Spoke with Ben regarding this, he's answer:

"the ones we dont allow are the ones that charge people for receiving text messages". Back on track again

I know I spoke to Ben about mobile on POF a couple of months ago. Here's what he told me:

1) Almost no one was blocking mobile traffic in their ads, so the CPMs were basically about the same as non-mobile ads.
2) There is very, very little competition in the mobile space on POF.
3) The banners are the best size to go for because the 110x80s are really hard to see on a phone.

I never ended up testing mobile traffic on POF, but hopefully it helps (if you end up being allowed to target it)!

Good stuff! Still gonna try both, but it looks like banners are much more solid for mobile!

My first set of banners are now done and submitted to POF.
What i've done is created a couple of very simple banners. From experience i've seen that people are "blind" to highly animated banners with lot's of colors. Perhaps they've been exposed to so many over the years that they have learn to ignore them(?).

Stay tuned for stats/revenue/banners and much more!

Good stuff so far. My housemate spends hours browsing POF from his iphone at work. I'd imagine POF mobile traffic must be plentiful.
