My XTUBE Ad Test Run Results - GoFuckYourself.com

BoyAlley · 08-22-2006, 08:46 PM

I did their minimum buy to get an idea what clicks are like. I realize I'll need to run a much larger test campaign to determine average sales figures, but I think with this number of impressions that the click-through rate is well determined.

Campaign Cost: $50 minimum buy
Total Impressions Purchased: 62,500
Total Impressions Delivered: 62,700
Total Click-throughs: 154
Cost-Per-Click: $0.325
Total Sales: 1
Conversion Ratio: 1:154
Sale Amount: $29.95 recurring (still active)

This was a test of their gay traffic pushing one of our gay single model sites www.JoshTucker.com using this banner:

I think I'm going to drop a few hundred bucks at it tomorrow and we'll see what kind of sales results I get with a bigger traffic sample.

I'll report back in this thread......

brand0n · 08-22-2006, 08:48 PM

hm ctr dont support the price.. not at those conversion ratios

just my honest

czarina · 08-22-2006, 08:52 PM

Hey BoyAlley. Make sure to let us know of that rebills, and what happens when you take more traffic. And how long did it take for delivery?

I agree at first glance (especially since I see pricing is even higher now than it was when I did my test).

I just don't think I did anywhere near large enough of a sample to really determine what the final sales conversion will be. And since it's such a huge potential traffic source, I want to give it a fair shake.

A few hours, but I think they throttle it. They say they have 500,000 - 750,000 gay impressions available / day.

xclusive · 08-22-2006, 08:59 PM

thanks for the heads up i'll try it out soon

brand0n · 08-22-2006, 09:00 PM

but.. u did get a sale..thats positive..

tons of traffic dont produce someone with a credit card heh

sixxxthsense · 08-22-2006, 09:03 PM

whats their URL?

to purchase traffic ofcourse

stickyfingerz · 08-22-2006, 09:05 PM

ya thats alot better than alot of the crap feeder traffic out there. Where you get no roi at all.

BoyAlley · 08-22-2006, 09:06 PM

I will add that their customer service was REALLY good. Their sales rep even offered to play WarSheep with me on ICQ

pr0 · 08-22-2006, 09:24 PM

that banner....it looks like 2 different people, one looks like an 18yo hs senior, & the other looks like a 21 year old after a all night bender on southbeach

just an observation

It's been a good performer for us other places, which is why I chose it for this test run. Dunno.

looks pretty good to me

interesting i guess

wedouglas · 08-22-2006, 09:47 PM

I would never pay for impression. IMO, this seems like a waste of money. Impression fraud is too easy.

i don't pretend to know how to market gay material at all...just saying it caught me off gaurd, it took a few seconds of looking to see it was the same person

don't mind me

Pete-KT · 08-22-2006, 10:05 PM

Im gonna check that out tomo

spasmo · 08-22-2006, 10:56 PM

BoyAlley:

At 32.5 cents per click you could dominate some AdWords campaigns if you spend some time on it. My apologies if you've already been down that road...

Just a thought.

Digipimp · 08-22-2006, 11:00 PM

i thought it was overpriced myself and buying impressions is not something i would care to do. i know the gts guys have plenty of high traffic sites where you can buy a week or month at a time for less than it would cost to buy impressions for a month on this site by half or more.

kmanrox · 08-22-2006, 11:37 PM

thats a pretty lame banner... if you had something attractive i bet you'd get more sales..

WiredGuy · 08-22-2006, 11:48 PM

32c/click seems extremely high to me although like you said, this was a very small sample. I'm willing to bet over the long term this won't work in your favour though. You can get much better qualified traffic for that CPC rate.

boldy · 08-22-2006, 11:56 PM

I'm running a $750 straight campaign. I will post result soon

PimpDaddyPants · 08-23-2006, 04:24 AM

I would like to thank all who have tested the banners and will be glad to help anyone else get setup.

Boyalley you know warsheep is hott right??? j/k ;)

Wagerboy · 08-23-2006, 09:24 AM

stupid question, would it pay for me to throw $50 to a few FHG's or a free site with a bunch of FGH's listed? Please advise

Babagirls · 08-23-2006, 09:31 AM

same, if im paying for it, its gonna be clicked... not just looked at

tranza · 08-23-2006, 03:24 PM

So you got 154 clicks for $50?

Seems WAY overpriced for me.....

XTuber · 09-18-2006, 05:02 PM

Email me with your referral information and I will see how many impressions I can add to your campaign(s).

squishypimp · 09-18-2006, 05:48 PM

hmm...a bit on the expensive side for the cpc.

eurabia · 09-19-2006, 02:27 AM

you promised an update boyfag

fallenmuffin · 09-19-2006, 02:36 AM

Looks good.. what happened with the bigger campaign?

Tat2Jr · 09-19-2006, 04:08 AM

I haven't worked xtube for a couple weeks, but part of your CPC problem might be that they are ALWAYS putting gay banners above the straight video section videos. I always think how great it is (for me) to have my watermarked straight videos playing under a gay banner.... more type-ins for me.

JimmiDean · 09-19-2006, 05:46 AM

I agree it will take a larger scale for a proper diagnosis.
Thank you for sharing what you have so far.

This isn't a spam thread.

I got NOTHING from xtube, not even a discount or free traffic. I posted this to be helpful.

I tested it out. I was going to run another larger test.

Before I could do that (in less than 1 day), they RAISED THEIR PRICES EVEN HIGHER for their gay traffic.

I decided with the raised prices, it definately wouldn't be worth it, so I didn't do a second test.

This thread is over a month old now, you can stop bumping it.

The End.
