hi folks,

just looking into some new offers, & i see so many of these "as seen on" offers,

it would make since that alot of skepticism would be decreased with these types of offers...

have any of guys or galz had good results here?
 


I don't trust em.

Also, I heard chargebacks/refunds get deducted? Can someone confirm?

The fuck is with that??
 
Depends on what you are talking about.

All the "As Seen on TV" products are from a very well known $5 Billion a year direct response company. Makes all the infomercials. (Their name slips my mind!)

Some people use this association incorrectly, and claim to be affiliated. They are not.
 
Mail and review pages if paying for traffic but thats only from my viewpoint. Buying traffic is a bit tougher because a lot of them have large brands and trademarks protected and dont want competitors in any form network/agency/pub using them.
 
products are great, video embeds are great, landing pages look like some retarded monkey made them while on a crack binge.

I've never had any success yet have had great CTR interest w/ review pages but HORRID conversion rates.

Too bad.
 
I work primarily with the direct response advertisers, and while Telebrands is big, there are lots of other companies who sell products on TV. Slapchop for example was done through a different company.
 
I used to buy domain typos for Seen on TV offers and then redirect the traffic to the real domain with my affiliate ID. For most of the offers I broke even, and even made a profit on the John Beck real estate 4 pennies offer and some Bowflex treadmill offer. Profits are pretty lame though, and there's always the chance the company will sue you (that topic discussed to death a couple years ago). I don't think the LPs typically convert all that well either, like someone else mentioned.

On the positive side, if you can jump all over a new product with a quality content site and rank in the SERPs quickly, you might be able to pwn most of the SERPs traffic for that product. Give it a try and see if the effort pays off. PPC would generally be profitable for a new product as well, since the competition will initially be low. Just hope the product takes off like the Snuggie!
 
I'm relatively new and have played with the As Seen On TV Offers. Had several fail. A few break even. And had one that was starting to make money.

The challenge I ran into was the offers I like initially allowed SEARCH then killed it. (By allowing search initially they can scrape keyword data from sub id tracking on the networks)
 
"as seen on tv" = best buyer keyword tool out there.....you're insane if you don't realize adwords doesn't show half the words G knows about....
