  • What makes a good ad network?
    • ]]>     So Acai is getting harder to promote and merchants aren’t liking the rebills anymore so what are all the CPA marketers to do.

    Will The Answer Be P90x

    Only difference is that P90x has helped some friends of mine get into some serious shape. Crazy right. Plus it’s doing a huge 2010 media push which will help sell the offer.

    It will be interested to see the CPA world get cleaned up a bit. Maybe we can even start using the term long-term and mean something longer than 2 months. If not there is always Cash4Bling

    Also on Monday I’ll be presenting at Think Tank Live a Milwaukee Search Engine Marketing & Social Media Summit 2010 . I’ll be speaking on PPC. Stop on by.

Here are my thoughts today, at this moment, and probably incomplete:

    Experiences I have liked:

    • Getting a nice intro auto responder that was nice, gave me some tips for using there system and encouraged me to ask questions.
    • Even better – Actually answering my email when I did get in touch. Thank you for that.

    Experiences I haven’t liked:

    • Getting a 20% CTR on a contextual text ad and none of it converts on an offer that historically converted like gangbusters before. IE your traffic is crap or more than likely fake.
    • Telling me you will have your “campaign optimizers” look into the campaign. Then they adjust my campaign in which I then get NO MORE IMPRESSIONS. When I get back to you a week later you have no recollection of speaking with me and tell me that I need to just bid on more categories.
    • Not having an automated system. Do we really have to really solely on the old media buy system. I really don’t want to call on a rep and have a long drawn out process to run an ad on your network.

    This isn’t all there is to a good and bad ad network. It’s just what I’ve been thinking lately. I’ll hopefully be writing more soon.

    This is just absolutely hilarious. I think it highlights pretty well the situation that is silly ass CPA offers. Even though if we could melt gold and make real live kitties that would be sorta awesome.
