Find Me Love Advertiser Scrubs like CRAZY? What are the Alternatives?

Hey Guys I need a little bit of your help:

I tried a FindMeLove 18+ offer from EWA on POF.

For 18-24 Male demo have over 100 clicks 0 conversions.
For 18-24 25-29 Female demo have over 40 clicks 0 conversions

What would be a good solution at this point?

I have a good creatives for 18-24 Male demo with .168 CTR but it doesnt convert.

So I can switch to some other general offer. ( Maybe you can give advice what would be good for such demo?)

Or try some other alternatives. How about making a lander and then going with>
Silverpath + GameTheory?

Never tried but saw guys having success with this model on PPV.

If your cash flow allows: http://affiliates.cupidplc.com

It's working directly with Cupid.

Seems like a good alternative option

You can't jump to the conclusion that they are scrubbing based on 100 clicks and 40 clicks. Maybe your ad sucks (generate curiosity/clicks but no desire to buy), maybe your landing page sucks, maybe you are targeting the wrong demo (age/country/whatever)...it could be any number of things. I'm not familiar with the offer so I'm not defending it per se - just saying.

Damn! The OP is going to make the AngryRussian even angrier when he sees this thread.

Check out his really recent post on just this:
http://stmforum.com/forum/showthread...-Network-Owner)

In a nutshell - you are not being scrubbed, don't accuse (it's lame). EWA are a fantastic network and this is their third best General Dating offer.

#1 Ourtime.com (CA, US) (SOI) (CID 219222)
#2 True.com Carousel LP (US) (SOI) (CID 221545)
#3 Find Me Love (18+) (US, CA, UK, AU, NZ, ZA) (CID 173988)

I'm sorry to tell you - it's most likely your ads, not the offer!

PS - In your defence, I split-tested the FindMeLove offer and it didn't convert for me at all either.

In fact they scrub http://stmforum.com/forum/showthread...list-of-offers check out the posts and opinions of others + tests with both email confirmed and even paid leads that haven't been credited. I'm not the only one knowing they scrub, it's confirmed by several AMs already. Just pick a different offer and give it a try. Which offer ? Just try

They don't scrub!

It DRIVES ME CRAZY how much they scrub, but it's still my top performing USA campaign.

I had a similar experience - sent a few hundred
clicks to FML, not a single conversion.

I've switched to True instead.

MUCH better

Haven't seen pubs pushing dating niche successfully on coreg tbh. And def can't be stacking paths anyway. Advs prefer traffic esp from males > 25 yr old so I wouldn't be surprised if there's a higher filter for 18-24 male leads.

Personally I would avoid them.

You will end up getting paid per sale, and they don't convert good. They also have shit stats that don't tell you when stuff is approved.

True.com, OurTime are both alternatives that are solid choices. Even with the scrub they have, it can work.

The key is figure out WHAT they scrub. Many times the info from the advertiser to the network is never passed to the Affiliate so they blindly buy right into a scrub....ask tons of questions and get solid answers.

I know this merchant well. They operate like an email submit advertiser. They scrub based on how your traffic becomes a paid subscriber. FACT!

Man you have a great scrubbing demo. Go much older. Older (>30+) pay for dating sites because they have less opportunity to meet other single people in their married circle of friends. Especially if they have kids.

Young females dont usually need to pay for dating sites. They have HUGE circle of single friends and they tend to like guys paying for dating contacts. Especially for more casual dating.

I know this from my own personal experience in online dating myself the last 8 years.

Stick to 30+ or 35+ ages for best CVRs Approach <30s with caution in testing.

goodluck with true... lol

For those who haven't seen regarding true: http://www.onlinepersonalswatch.com/...rotection.html

Also, if the FindMeLove campaign isn't working, why are you keeping at it? Just find an alternative.
