Myspace Advertising Testing

Posted by: admin | Comments (5)

Myspace opened their advertisement platform and I gave a shot. Myspace has lot more users however, there are so many spammers, internet marketers, and International users as well. The ad formats are choose between 728×90 and 300×250 banner ads which is lot better than Facebook ads.

I tested only with 300×250 banner from Premade, but myspace provides tool you can modify you banner on the fly.
Niche I tested was 18+ only dating site and payout was $3.50 per free sign-up, why?, because I thought myspace users has lot of male who might interest another dating(social?) site. It took almost 30 hours to get approved and I got instant traffics after approval.

I submitted 3 more campaigns, zip submit, ringtone, and weight loss tea, but I am still waiting for approval(seems like they don’t work during weekend).

In Myspace(so far), you can put direct links as destination URL which many marketing platforms are not allowed and rule is less strict than Facebook Ads. I used Direct links for dating campaign(I will test with Landing page later and compare).

One thing I don’t like in Myspace ads is $0.25 per click minimum bid and approval takes way too long.

Result: Well I lost some money. I spent $300 and made $227.50 with 6% conversion rate. But if I could bring conversion rate to 10%, then I migh able to make some nice profit.

USFreeAds – Worthless? Think again

Posted by: admin | Comments (8)

I’ve been using USFreeads about 7 month now and I never using it until last month. I saw a lot of posts that USFreeAds are useless, no traffics, and no leads. Well, it is kinda true and I was wondering samething – Who is using it this classified ads site with full of spams? I was wrong. I got around 59 ads running(auto renew feature is great) and some ads got 1500+ views(I don’t know how many actually clicks to my site) which means nothing to me since there was only 2 sales last 7 month.

Last 2 weeks, I built Ebay Affiliate Site with BAN in Hunting Niche and I posted several ads with sale item with site URL. Amazingly, My Ads showing up in First Page in Goog Search result in 2 major brand name keywords which brings around 100 uniques per day. Acutally, some USFreeads user send message about what they looking for this and that, so people using USFreeads to looking for something. What I learn from this? Test, take action. You never know until you try. USFreeAds works ok if your niche is very deep or not many competitions. Of course, make money online, diet pills, high competitive niche will not work(at least to me). I think it is well worth $10 per month.

If you want, you can sign up here and test.

I won the Advaliant Contest

Posted by: admin | Comments (3)

Guess what, I just got a $75 check from Advaliant and I was wondering what the hell is this check for. I won the July Green Tea Promoting Contest which I never expected. I know it is not much but I never won anything in my life(except I almost hit NY Lottery by 1 number) and feel so great.
