Hard Work Is The Answer

After a few months of research and not pulling the trigger on any campaigns, I finally launched a few 3 weeks ago. The only profitable one was the True.com dating race-specific offer and after only 2 weeks and making about $250 bucks, they said my leads weren't converting for them on the backend and told me not to go on promoting their higher paying, race-specific offers anymore. Now I'm stuck promoting AZ's shittier paying offers.

Has this happened to anyone else?
 


When you realize these companies want to make money too, you'll then realize this can happen to any site, anytime, anywhere.

When you begin making good leads on any campaign, consider it a trail run.. because the other side (vendor) is considering your leads a trail run as well.

This happens to everyone I believe.
 
Yeah I've had a lot of problems with the ethnic offers too, as have my friends. This is all paid Google traffic too, nothing questionable. When your operating on a free lead basis all the affiliates can do is guess on what to optimize to increase paid conversions on their end.
 
Yes be careful. The ad networks usually get reports weekly from True stating the quality of the traffic (prior week). I know that all ethnic offers go to the same interface as the regular true campaigns.

I would ask your AM to verify your quality prior to you really pushing any large numbers. This will save you a headache in the longrun.
 
If you can make money promoting true.com, try some of the other dating offers and you'll probably make even more. True's breakage is unfuckingbelievable. I'm talking like 25-35%. It's always been that way. It's a borderline scam if you ask me. I think they like to manage their ROI with their tracking system. "Hey Bob, our profits are down today. Go ahead and turn off all affiliate tracking for the next 4 hours, just like we did the other day."
 
I know of another dating company (the offer for members who signup is 6 months FREE) where they expect around 20% of the leads to be bunk. If it exceeds 36%, somebody is getting spanked. Aside from True.com, what other dating offers are working for you guys? Are niche dating sites like millionairematch, blacksingles, christiancafe, 35+dating converting well for anyone?

You should avoid dating sites at all costs. Although I've never had any problems with that site in particular. It did actually happen to me with DatingDirect.com AND AdultFriendFinder.com...
 
asian true, black true and christian singles were converting well before true told me to stop.

Yeah true.com are bitches...I have had loads of my campaigns banned before.

Some campaigns are working well with singlesnet now
 
This happened to me with another offer. The affiliate network said the advertiser complained about my leads not converting the back end as well, so I just went to another another affiliate network, ran the same offer, and all was well!

Try this out and get to know your AM because they can bug the shit out of the advertiser and find out exactly why your leads are shit.

Also, spread yourself out amongst multiple networks, so then your footprint won't be so big with just one network.
 
yeah True is on about every affiliate network out there. You can take it from there... As far as conversions go I've run every dating offer I can find and nothing converts close to as well as True does, we're talking True is 3x's the conversion of all the other offers I've found. So you can test others as your traffic might be different but I doubt it.
 
I've changed my former True pages around a bit and now use Singlesnet which doesn't pay quite as high as True but the conversions are pretty damn close.

Engage.com

Have you tried Engage.com? It seems to convert between 18-24% on decent quality traffic.

I was running an african american campaign, making GOOD turnaround but then the CPC on azoogle went up WAY too high so i pulled it myself. Made a few hundred bucks though.
 
Is this organic or ppc traffic? I'm running their lead based offers through a ppc campaign, and the conversions rate is horrible so far.
