POF No More Profitable? (29)
Don't know why POF seems to be not working for me recently, I have been playing with it from past 6-7 months and have had good campaigns going.
But now it seems to be very tough to get profitable there, specially when you wanna go broad it just seems to be impossible to get 0.1 ctr with no login counts.
Niche traffic definitely one can hit $XX per day but going broad it just seems to be very very hard...
Howz it going for you guys ?
My results have been shitty lately too. I never really thought to blame POF though. My ads are prolly stale and the offers I am promoting have been worked over.
I am looking to get some fresh out there and get rolling for the Holiday season. Was good for me last year.
December is a slow month for dating, the results in January will make up for it 
anyone here able to generate 0.1 ctr going broad with no login count?

I just play with it a bit
POF has been hard for me the last three or four weeks. I'm still profitable, but finding it a lot harder than before to get >50% ROI.
Maybe it's December, hopefully it'll pick up next month.
Like Ben said....it's december. The 'I am lonely and need a girl/guy this christmas' theory is a myth.
In my country december is the worst month of the year...the past 4 years. And indeed January is great!
i'm @ .229% CTR on one (VERY VERY broad - just age/browser/country targeting)
.788% on 310 banners... again VERY broad targeting and i haven't paused the ads yet... (doing that today)
^^ I think I know which ads are yours

Yep, December sucks for dating. Everyone's too busy making plans for the holidays, fighting with relatives, struggling to finish up work in time and so on.
February, OTOH, is awesome. It's cold, it's dark, there's bugger-all going on - plenty of time for anyone single to start thinking "fuck it, I'm going to try this internet dating thing".

The 160x600 too, you can get more of the girls body in there.
I tend too have good CTR with vertical shots including leggings + high heels , some even fully clothed
Shape can sometimes be better than skin, but mostly on IABs ;s

definitely.. try some IABs.. it works.. no doubt things are a bit slow this month.. however, all high CTR images will convert best is not true I guess.. I have some .2% ctr images (110 / 310 / IABs) that dose not convert.. but.. some .1% ctr converts waqy better.. so if you have high ctr images do check if they converts as well..
