I used Adfly, and it was waste of time.
Thank you for your review.
.
Can you give some details Kei. Pageviews, visitors sent, just some numbers would be good. Thanks.
Adf.Ly is a piece of shoe for both advertisers and publishers! I tried the advertiser package and had the same experience as you. And then tried the publisher sign up and same thing happened. Yesterday for instance on my publisher account, my google blog stats and analytics page says i had 10000 visitors (7500 UNIQUE) on my 2 blogs, but adf.Ly only shows 2000 considering i had the WEBSITE ENTRY SCRIPT installed !! & my earning were $1 and some change!! THEY SHOULD BE BANNED FROM THE INTERNET AND PUT TO JAIL!!
I’m closing the account now!! THE WORST EXPERIENCE EVER! A JOKE!.
I like this.
Thank you for your review of our service. We always welcome feedback.
I would like to invite you to try another $5 test (at our expense of course) but this time with a Max. Daily Budget set, to spread the traffic out over at least 24 hours.
If your campaign was over in 20 minutes, it is quite likely over loaded your server. If this happened, your website would not be responsive and your Google Analytics code would not have been loaded.
Good review, but it would’ve bee more helpful to readers if you told us what kind of website you were trying to promote. You obviously know what kind of people use adfly, but if your website isn’t something the targeted audience like, then its not going to grab anyone’s attention. Next time try promoting something for free and see how that goes, and pay for US traffic only. If you pay for worldwide traffic, then that’s exactly what you’re going to get. So why expect many US visitors. Of course you’re going to see poor results if you’re promoting an english website to non-english people. Just a thought.
US traffic was close to $4 for a thousand. Too risky if it is the same junk traffic.
Hi Kia,
Try to advertise in the States, I think you’ll wait until Christmas or Eastern to have your campaign started. The booster price actually rised to 1o$/1000, and even then you have to wait. Regarding the product, mine was quite for a really large niche and I offered a free gift (ok an ebook). But look at my stats in my reply.
Thanks for the review. But I believe that you can’t conclude yet because of the worldwide option you choose. Maybe try targeting specific countries and see what happens. Also, conversion will depend on the kind of site you’re promoting.
Or better still, promote the same site with adfly and compare it with another CPM network.
Can anyone name some other CPM advertising networks?.
I have a question! Can adf.Ly help to be on the first page of google?.
That’s not what ad fly is for, so I would say using adf.Ly has no effect on Google ranking. If Google has a way of looking deep into adf.Ly links or through google analytics on your site then it might even have a negative impact on your ranking. But that’s jut a guess.
I really think it’s a scam for small online marketers.
I paid for 25.000 worldwide and 10.000 in selected 5 countries 47$
For the ww campaing they did it in 14 hrs (instead of 1). But god sake if they’ve done in in 1 hour my hostgator server would have crashed (it really didn’t show my pages during at least 2 hours).
For the selected countries, the start was very, very long (even today it isn’t finished. I did have to pay their booster ptice (min+ 20% – 100%) to leave the waiting list.
Final result: Officially until today 19.024 visits (30.000 paid) – 58 subscribers, 8 confirmes, 6 unsubscribed = 7.25$ per confirmed subscriber. If this isn’t scam??.
Thank you for your honest appraisal and review of adfly. I won’t waste money on it because it sounds like all the other services I’ve tried to drive traffic to my online store.
Who needs bad traffic anyway since a good business person spends a large amount of time trying to weed out that type of traffic.
