ONE OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAYS TO PROMOTE OFFERS IS NOW AUTOMATIC!

October 26, 2017 0

Don’t be fooled by the negative connotations — pop-unders when implemented right are a fantastic promotional aid and can be a great additional source of income.
Remember in May when we told you that Back Offers were now automatically enabled on our platform? That one little tweak allowed you to generate up to 30% more conversions, without requiring any additional effort by you.
Pretty sweet, eh?
Well, good news — we’ve now enabled popunders too.

A Fresh Look at Pop-unders

Like Back Offers, pop-unders are another great way to yield more conversions from users that may not have been interested in your first offer. Or perhaps you have two solid offers, but ran out of of available ad space. Popping another offer is a great approach.
The difference is, compared to Back Offers that appear only to those who click the back button on their screen, popunders will typically reach a higher % of traffic than Back Offers alone, assuming AdBlock isn’t enabled.
For those of you old enough to remember the rise of the Internet, popunders and pops in general have always had a negative connotation. Sites of yesterday abused these one-time effective methods of promotion by not just popping something one time in a 24 or 48hr period, but by popping 10 different things.
Clicking the x to close one of these windows would only make 5 new ones appear…
It seemed like a pretty good way to catch the user’s attention at the time—or so some people thought. But really, this poor practice ended up tainting the effective popunder forever.

Pop-unders, now smarter!

However, today, we know better. Pop-unders are a very efficient way at promoting one’s offers. Especially now, since we’ve done our best to optimize pops with offers specifically designed and ideal for this type of display, with custom, tailored, attractive landers.
We also strive for relevancy. Relevant popunders. So by that we mean, for example, Dating traffic will not necessarily see and be exposed to a VOD popunder or vice-versa.
At CR, our team’s always making sure you get the best bang for your buck with our pops.
Fan of CrakRevenue Smartlinks? 
… Well, think of our popunders like the Smartlinks of pops.
Remember, popunders double your exposure, and never fail to provide a viable second option to and for your users. They’re a second chance at conversions. And who doesn’t love a good ol’ second chance in life?!
So that’s why we’ve enabled them in CR 2.0. Fewer conversions lost!
Although, as we’ve said a few weeks back, enabling Back Offers and Popunders will have benefits for your wallet, but you might just miss ‘em if you’re too caught up at only looking at your EPC. That’s because Pops, in addition to Back Offers, tend to convert a little bit less than the original offer in most cases, so of course, by nature, it can lead to the appearance of a diluted EPC.
The thing is, if you don’t keep ‘em enabled, you lose all those sweet, sweet conversions. Which means less money in your pocket!
So, when you want to analyze your traffic, examine each metric. But the one that is the most important at the end of the day is, just how fat is your wallet…?
Thankfully, popunders tend to help in that department.

6 REASONS WHY YOU HAVEN’T MADE MONEY YET

October 26, 2017 0

You've figured out the best way to generate traffic & you found the perfect network to work with… but your wallet is still dry. Wondering why? Here are 6 potential reasons!
Here in Internet land, we all seem to stumble across the occasional blog post or article on the net of the topic of making money from home … and not only easily, but “effortlessly.”
Articles with headlines and titles such as:
How to Make Billions From Your Couch
And search queries from visitors you come across in your web traffic logs like:
“How to build a fortune, being a single mother of thirteen with no legs, but an Internet connection…”
… This clearly has some people convinced that making money online is an easy feat.
In any event, at some point, you decided to test this theory and decided to dabble in Affiliate Marketing and decided to start making money from home using affiliate programs like CrakRevenue.
New to Affiliate Marketing, you’ve read the tutorials, figured out how to obtain or generate traffic, and subscribed to CrakRevenue. (See how here!)

Something feels wrong though… Money hasn’t started rolling in yet and you’re getting discouraged.

You’re feeling like you’re about to drop this altogether…
But, wait! Don’t give up that easily.
Making money with affiliate marketing takes patience, time and effort. It can certainly be done from the comfort of your home – but we at least think that you still have a little ways a way to go before making that ultimate decision deciding “it’s not for you.”
The goal: Don’t leave precious money on the table that you haven’t reached yet.
Here are some reasons why:

1- Your traffic and your ads don’t match

Not every offer is going to convert with just any type of traffic.
Whether that traffic you’re working with comes from Social Media, an ad network, or from a Mailing campaign — all these traffic types tend to respond to certain kinds of offers while other matchups aren’t always the greatest of pairings. Let’s face it: some of these traffic sources don’t deliver when pushing certain offers.
For example: Social Media traffic and Dating offers go together like peas and carrots. Why?
One theory is that Social Media traffic tends to be more — go figure — “social”.
Social traffic in theory is filled with other individuals who want to meet other people and therefore they respond well to Dating and various Hookup offers. The challenge here, however, is that Social networks are Mainstream focused. Blatant adult promotion is frowned upon and in many cases creates obstacles for the affiliate with an account on one of the major social networks.
This could be why the offer you’re pushing — or attempting to push — isn’t converting like you had hoped.
Social Media traffic does, however, offer a world of possibilities to affiliates who are able to think outside the box. It’s a great way to target specific demographics.

Which brings us to our second point: do you know your traffic demographics?

If you’re pushing a super-hardcore offer via a popunder on some softcore, women-friendly, women-centric tube site — let’s just say you’re killing the mood and there’s a good chance this all female audience wasn’t the right audience to sell to.
Making your user uncomfortable is surely not going to result in any conversions.
Same with Dating — imagine if a Japanese user was surfing your site and they saw an attractive banner advertising a Dating site, but he noticed the call-to-action (CTA) was written in Spanish and nothing else about that banner was designed to appeal to him or his culture? In fact, the banner contained a latina…
(Let’s just say this particular user knows his neighborhood doesn’t extend that far.)
Making sure that the ads you’re promoting are in sync with your traffic is key to conversions. That’s what we call qualified traffic!

2- You don’t optimize

Letting your ads sit there like some kind of lazy lover who just lets it all hang and hope for the best might get you somewhere in the beginning, but long term…? Well, let’s just say you will be less and less satisfied.
Making money takes work, constant work. We’re always looking for new ways to optimize our offers at CrakRevenue. New landing pages, different call-to-actions, new tours, new creatives, and even offering additional ways of promoting…

A/B test your offers

Always reach for more! Don’t hesitate to switch it up to a more winning one.

Track your results

SubIDs are your information-sharing friends!
Keep yourself updated on the network’s list of new offers and announcements, and their new creatives. Making sure you have the best offers for your traffic is one thing but optimizing your traffic also goes a long way.
If you’ve realized that what really works on your site are MILF videos, then that gives you a cue on what your traffic is looking for more.
And what about your speciality? Do you have one? Sometimes, we focus too large at first before optimizing. Don’t hesitate to drop what doesn’t work.

3- You are not promoting your offers the right away

In short, do you really “know” about the offers you’re promoting?
Because before you start promoting, always take the time to read the Offer Terms & Conditions. Do not — and we really do emphasize this here — do not willfully promote an offer that you know has a restricted and forbidden promotional method outlined. It’s NOT a winning strategy!
Another important factor is the accepted countries / geos for a respective offer. Make sure that the offer you’re promoting is actually eligible with the bulk of your traffic.
Always have an Internationally friendly offer as a fallback so you don’t lose out on any conversions!
At CrakRevenue, we also usually indicate which promotional method works best with a specific offer. Don’t be so quick to ignore these suggestions!

4- You don’t have enough traffic

Well, sometimes it really is that simple. Even with the best EPC, if you don’t have the traffic, you’re unlikely to have enough conversions to reach your minimum payment..
Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be this way.
With our help, you can get out of the kiddy pool and jump into the big boys’ pool. First, we recommend getting acquainted with our Support team if you have any questions along the way or before getting started (if you have a question and you can’t find it in our Knowledge Base).
We’re always willing to share tips on how to drive more traffic!
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Social Media are two great mediums when all else fails.
On our blog, you will find tutorials about these particular subjects. Here, here and here.

5- You don’t talk to your Affiliate Manager

At CrakRevenue, we have a fantastic support team as we just alluded to a few seconds ago (ahem) and – on top of that – a steadfast affiliate management team to boot.
So if you’re experiencing hiccups along the way growing your traffic, optimizing campaigns or promoting through various means, these guys are your go-to guys (and gals!) for all your monetization questions. The biggest mistake you can make is by not building a rapport with your AM.
And in most cases – the path to a harmonious relationship (at our network, anyway) begins right when you sign up. New affiliates to our platform will typically receive a welcome email from one of our Account Managers and the chance for an open dialog starts here.
Some affiliates choose to ignore these emails and don’t respond — but it’s really in your best interest to convey where you’re at as far as experience level, traffic you may or may not be working with, and the type of offers you had in mind to promote (and why).
This is a full-time team completely devoted to helping you find profits — so take advantage!

6- You’re too impatient

Dear Affiliate,
One must learn to walk before they can run. And before walking, one must have mastered the art of crawling.
So if you’re just starting out, it’s completely normal if money hasn’t started rolling in faster than you can count. Growing traffic organically and choosing the right ads and the right way to promote takes time. Which you have.
Even if you’ve made a bunch in your first few days, remember that our minimum payout is $100 (except for Wire, for which the minimum payout is $500).
We also pay net30, so if you see you’ve reached the minimum payout without issue, please be patient. You will receive it.
If you haven’t reached your minimum payout within one of the periods, the amounts will be carried over and processed automatically once you’ve surpassed your minimum payout.
So make sure that your CrakRevenue Profile is correct – including all User Details and especially the Billing Information section.
And, of course, make sure that you’re following our Terms of Service.

3 WINNING STRATEGIES TO CONVERT GAMERS

October 26, 2017 0
With more than $100 billion in sales last year, the Gaming industry is on fire. Check out our 3 winning strategies for converting more Gamers.
Since CrakRevenue entered the game last June—we know, we know, another Gaming pun—we’ve added new offers, new geos, and found new and better ways of promotion.
And to tell you the truth, we learned a lot.
Now that we’ve seen great results, we want to share some winning strategies so that you, too, can take home a piece of that $100 billion dollar pie.
But first, let’s start with some facts :

Device

37% Mobile, 63% Desktop

Gender

48% of women play games, 50% of men play games

Age

35 years old on average

Time spent

155 million Americans play at least 3 hours a week
Knowing your users is critical. Because in Gaming, like in most verticals (especially mainstream), knowing your user is key to conversions.
Here are 3 winning strategies to consider.

1- Focus on demographics, not sources of traffic

Gamers are not only hiding on Reddit and Kotaku to talk about video games. And they are definitely not only living in their mothers’ basements (although some of them certainly are). Around half of the population is playing games on their desktops, consoles, tablets and phones.
Your gaming traffic could be a teenage boy playing Call of Duty like it’s his full-time job. Or it could be a mother of three that opens Candy Crush while waiting for her kids after school. There are a lot of different types of gamers, and all of them are attracted to different games.
Fascinatingly, many gamers are not so much passionate about Gaming as they are about wanting to know everything about this world. So you might not ever see these individuals perusing a Gaming article. But you may find them reading The New York Times, browsing Facebook or checking out some gardening blog.
Promoting Gaming is more about creating personas. Once you get a general idea of your user, you begin to find out what else they like. Some of the most-played games draw traffic from sites like The New York Times—not Gaming forums.
So if we recap:
  • Know your user
  • Consider what else your user might like
  • Diversify your sources of traffic
Following this idea…

2- Expand your idea of what a “Gamer” is

Almost half the Gamers out there are female, and they purchase games 41% of the time.
Forgetting this demographic slashes your profit in half. And you won’t only find them with little games on their iPhone from the app store. A lot of women are hardcore gamers. So don’t underestimate this demographic.
Same with older people who tend to play a lot of games on their tablets.
In fact, the best strategy will be decided by the game itself. Is it a strategy game that takes a lot of time in front of the screen or could you play it while waiting for your bus?
The type of game you’re promoting has profound effects with regard to outcome and demographic. Don’t be afraid to think outside the box!
And most important, put yourself in your user’s shoes. In short, the best way to know how to sell a game is to play it. Most games are free to play so knock yourself out and enjoy yourself a little bit. Get to know the games you’re promoting. Familiarize yourself with the in-game ads or in-game purchase mechanics.
Plus, if you happen to love a game, you will know what’s attractive about it. You are your own persona.

3- Get familiar with new ways of promoting

If you’re familiar with adult offers, you are probably very cautious of Facebook. But when you promote mainstream Gaming offers, Facebook, Google and Bing are some of your best friends.
One of the best places to sell a game is using one’s Facebook feed.
And since you’re now selling more by demographic than by one’s traffic source, it changes the rules of Media Buying. You can no longer focus as much on one source; you need to try a lot more diverse sources before you can pinpoint what works and why.
A/B testing remains a solid strategy.
You can’t focus as much on one source, you will need to try a lot more of different sources before you can pinpoint what works and why. A/B Testing is your best strategy.

And last but not least, don’t make promoting Games feel like a grueling full-time job. Have fun doing it!

STEP UP YOUR GAME THIS OCTOBER WITH A 10% PAY BUMP ON OUR SMARTLINKS!

October 26, 2017 0

This October, see why our Gaming smartlinks are all treats and no tricks. Hint: there’s a pay bump involved!
Got traffic and don’t know how to convert it? CrakRevenue’s Gaming Smartlinks are the solution you’ve been waiting for. If there’s one thing that so many users have in common, it’s that everyone likes to play every once in awhile.
The Gaming industry generated $100B in sales last year, with 2017 estimates coming in around $108Band 42% of those sales coming from mobile traffic.
That’s a pretty big pie — and you can have a piece of it!
For the entire month of October, we have some treats for you (and no tricks, we promise).

Receive 10% more revenue when you send traffic to our Gaming Smartlinks!

Whether your site is E for everyone or for adults only, we’re confident we have the Smartlink for you. New and improved, with a sweet promotional pay bump!
Over the months, we’ve added quite a few new offers to our Gaming vertical roster. We’ve added crazy enticing online games like Narcos XXX and Pussy Saga. And if you’re a mainstream traffic type of guy or gal, well, we’ve got online games in this department too just waiting for your promotion!

These links make everything easy

Crak’s Gaming-related Smartlinks come equipped with all the best top-converting offers integrated in one place. They really do make promoting games in this market easier than ever.
As Thierry Bouchard, Business Development Manager at CrakRevenue says, “Smartlinks are ‘the lazy man’s solution to promoting.’”
“Promoting individual Games can at times be a little bit more of a challenge than promoting, say, some other type of individual offer found in CR. Between app installs, KPIs, carrier restriction and soft vs hard KPIs, the level of factors and complexity can be daunting when you take everything into account. This is why I encourage the usage of Smartlinks — especially our Gaming ones. Everything really is continually optimized in-house and guaranteed to deliver the best results,” adds Bouchard.
START PROMOTING HERE!

** When it comes to our Gaming vertical, promoting really does become a whole new ball game (we know, we know … we just can’t resist those puns … forgive us). If you’d like advice on how to successfully promote, we prepared a guide to help you through it. Check it out here!
