I've sent traffic to a PIN-submit offer on a daily basis and got a $0.11 to $0.16 EPC the whole time (about 3 weeks)
Yesterday i added another traffic source (7search) toward the same offer, and early got a lead from it. I was happy but since then the EPC plummet to 0.06 to 0.08 EPC. It could be just a coincidence but..
Should i stop traffic from 7search or it's too early to take a decision ?
7search is pretty shitty traffic. Don't know anyone who runs there but sure there is probably someone.. I wouldn't run 7search traffic on an offer I was running somewhere else just so I wouldn't get booted off it.
ya 7search is pretty much a waste of time..lots of bot and low quality traffic
Today i have an ECP of 0.00 ! FUCK. 100% leads shaving.
I'm going to stop that 7Shit campaign right now!
You can't always base your decisions on the EPC (if another traffic source has a much lower CPC, for example)
But I've never been able to get a successful campaign going on 7Search. I know a couple of others have. They're welcome to keep the inventory for themselves. It was too much of a ball ache for my taste.
Thank you all guys
it's not a coincidence indeed
few hours after i stopped the 7S. campaigns i've got some leads
Let's hope everything will return as before in the next few days
ive had successful things run on 7search in the past. but its definitely not simple to do, there is a lot of "pruning" to do by weeding out the invalid pubs with junk traffic. this takes up some of your valuable time, not to mention that even though i was profitable, it was nothing spectacular either.
id only recommend using 7seach as a "supplementary" traffic souce to squeeze a little bit extra profit out of something that is ALREADY successful on another traffic source.
Just be very weary with 7search in the first place, they have a lot of people abusing their feeds.
