Lost out on JoesTraffic

$100 of advertising down, no results. Tried all of the following:

Penis Pills
CaseyParker
BaDoink
FleshLight

Nothing, 0 signups.

I will admit though, that Joe was very helpful and if I ever needed help or needed something done he was Joe (johnny) on the Spot!

Sounds like you spread yourself too thin by spending only $100 on 4 different campaigns. I'd put a lot more money into a campaign before cutting it off as a loss.

How much traffic did you send to the sponsors for $100?

I can't imagine $100 bought much. You would need to send a minimum of 5k (others may disagree) to a sponsor before you have any idea of how it will perform.

Lol, nice publicity joestraffic is getting. Some dude buy's $100 bucks worth of traffic, gives negative feedback on the biggest adult webmaster board on the net, and Joe loses $1000's in potential customers.

more like 4 days and less than 1k hits from bought traffic.

no surprise.

beta testers aren't supposed to be making threads during the beta test period.

no sweat.

who are you?

according to my stats if you don't have a sale then you have sent less than 500 hits to the program.

everyone else over that number without a sale i know.

what is your name in the beta test?

Doubtful, if this wasn't sarcasm, which I suspect it might have been.

I did a small buy of $100 with Joe just because I liked the guy. I didn't get any sales, but you know what? He gave me another $100 campaign, completely free, which DID get sales .. I didn't even ask for it, he volunteered it.

So ...

After that, I made about thousands of dollars working with Joe on another project. I don't remember the exact figure, but he sent me a check for pushing HIM traffic.

Nice to work with, overall, and a good guy to chat with on the phone.

1:562 on bought traffic and you're calling it a waste?

you should be more careful how you word things.

you're very new at this. not only did you hound me everyday about the site going to beta, but now i have to stay awake late at night playing investigator as to why you aren't making sales 1:10 on bought traffic.

come on now. lets think a little before posting.

you were told with everyone not to post threads with performance. your action should have been to icq me and ask me how to help convert bought traffic.

goodnight everyone.

In response to this, I already know all of the sponsors I used perform well.

I wont defend myself. Not everyone will have overnight success and it's a tricky game. I myself have had problems, but there is always a solution.

I don't think anyone with half a brain is asking you to defend $100 worth of clicks.

I mean .. shit.

Then why the fuck did you list it above and say that you had zero sales with it.

Stop trying to kiss Airek's ass because you're afraid of getting kicked out of his program. Airek's too smart to fall for that shit.

0 sales with Casey from JoesTraffic. Thats what this whole thread is about. My conversion with his traffic.

I've had sales with all of those sponsors. but not using his traffic.

Joe: Apologies bud. Im sure its my fault with non-experience with bought traffic in general. I just didn't have luck with your traffic, guess $100 isnt enough to tell shit, especially in this biz.

Let me emphasize to everyone. Joe was a tremendous help, I just did not convert on his traffic. End of story.

Someone will learn from this thread either way. There might be a lot of people who didn't know Joe sold traffic, and a lot who might expect to get sales on $100 but won't.

i gave him a shot because we all start somewhere and he seemed like he was trying really hard. how much damage could he really do under my watchful eye was the way i was looking at it.

he knows now to think before he posts things.

icq me, i'd like to talk to you.

UPDATE

He did NOT use the $100 on the same ad, but $25 on 4 separate ones. I broke my policy of a min of $100 deposit per ad, and it is the last. If you want a good test, use $100 on the same ad.

That's not bad with bought traffic.

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.. it's all about matching the right sponsor sites to the right sources & types of traffic.


shit.. last time I bought traffic the ratio itself was horrible but the profit returns were 500%, so it was a good investment.
If you have a decent broker, who is experience in matching sources & types of traffic to where you want to send it, it should work out.,,,
Lucky for me, I let the broker pick the sources & type.. had I chose on my own, my margins may have been alot lower.

yes i don't think he did bad either for a 25 dollar buy.


as for the broker picking source and destination i agree. choker is very good at this. i too have never had a problem with joes traffic. this was just a case of shoot first and ask questions later by an inexperienced guy trying a little too hard. i think he has it figured out now when to post and when to icq.

I love joes traffic, I have bought countless banner spots and joes is the only one I have ever went back and bought again and again. I plan on buying another after x-mas is over.
