how can i improve more and scale it up?

i am getting a crazy CTR of 1.3% from tapit for a offermobi cupid offer. I basically went ahead and optimized all the variables like carrier etc. Two problems however:

1) At present still running a 20% loss roughly. But will follow the pattern for a few days, I think with some day-parting I can fix this.

2) Scaling, getting really really low volume (about 30 clicks a day). How can I scale it up?

Would love to hear from you guys on how I can turn this into the 5 figure days (ok ok, at least a 2 figure day! :-)

Up your bid, you can't really analyze much with that little data. Don't optimize or make any carrier decisions until you have more data.

Are you direct linking? If so, I highly recommend trying a lander. How many creatives have you tried?

More info you give the more we can help yeah!

I've recently done some optimization with handsets for a mobile offer i'm running and seen a major increase in ROI by targeting 2 of the more popular handsets. Are you tracking converting handsets/OS's?

30 clicks a day is really low. 2 things you need to do 1st
1. You need to ask tapit about your CPC prices compared to other advertisers. Findout what competitiors are paying for cpc's and on a daily average. There's a lot more traffic then 30 clicks a day, just need to fight for it a little
2. You need to majorly expand to many more traffic sources! To get volume on a lot of these mobile offers you need to expand to multiple sources.

Maybe Smax can weigh in on that. Regardless, Tapit needs more publishers to extend their reach.

Tapit has limited traffic, but so do most mobile traffic sources (thats why there's so many). Just makes it harder for us :/

I have a couple other landers, but want to focus on one variable at a time, I thought 1.3% is already a pretty good CTR.
Moved it from CPC to CPM model and now clicks have come down to about $0.03. For some odd reason, the CTR actually improved when I moved it to CPM model...

Very good point about carrier data stuff. I am still collecting data on this one. Only filtered out things that had over 30 clicks but no conversions.

Yea, tracking handset, carrier, banner size etc. I will do the handset optimization once I have more data, need to up the volume first. I think I will expand onto a couple more networks then. Any specific recommendations? I heard good things about imobi? Main reason I stuck to tapit was they already provide the info about handsets etc. I guess I have to start using the STM tracker setup and running? Beyondhosting fast enough to run that?

I just need US android inventory for this offer. So I guess I can use airtap, jumptap etc. I will get the tracker setup and start running it through the other networks.
