if you had 100$ in a sex.com ppc account...
 

What would you do to maximize the chance of return?

i ask them to give back to me .. and buy hits from me :1orglaugh

PICK AMATEUR KEYWORDS AND YOU"LL DO GREAT!:thumbsup

get "free sex" top bids and you´ll turn it into $5000 !!!

I'm wondering the same thing... So far, most of my efforts haven't reaped a lot of results.. Invested $75 so far, about $15 left in my account and 1 signup @ $30 return...

The first site I tried converted at about 1:650 - worse than my TGP traffic results for that site.. pretty fucking incredible for a PPC

ratio 1:650 SUX

I'm not impressed with my sex.com results. Converts shitty, and comes SLOW unless you pay like 10c/click to get listed on the first page.

what exactly did you think would happen? if you aren't on the front page of a SE you are going to notice the same thing compared to being on the front page

shit, I'm doing better than that with my Google PPC tax deduction at the moment!

I would take it out and spread it across other Pay-Per-Click engines.

Sex.com ripped me off and they are impossible to deal with. Very unprofessional if you ask me.

Nice sig Seth :thumbsup

I spend with sex.com around $850 per month and make $1500, I love it for adult.
For mainstream i use adwords, from each 3k invested per month i get back around $6k.

For me the keys are around 30% the keywords you use and 70% what you promote and how it's promoted(product and promo pages, etc). It's not just add money, bid on some keywords for some urls and wait for the $$ to come. As any other income source, it requires work and a lot of study of the market.

Same shit with me, they converted worst than TGP. I spend about $400 with about $150 in sales.

If I would have taken that 400 and baught top TGP spots I would have easily doubled my money and in some case even tripled.

Sorry this got burried and I just found it...
I'm totaly new to PPC...

But anyway I looked at alot of the pages that where on there for some of the keywords, and it seems they just re-direct to a sponsor granted the add text does say how much the sponsor is.

So I assume people are using a landing page that sends the surfer off with the proper code and more than likely tracks the hit.

Seems like an ok idea, but if you where dealing with PPC would you pitch with a one page wonder, a gallery, or do free sites actualy stand a chance of seeing some conversions?...

Anyone ever try there hub?...could be an interesting way to get targeted traffic into your network.

Again I have no clue...

Sex.Com here....

There is no specific method that works for every advertiser on Sex.Com. Each kind of site requires a different type of bidding strategy. PLEASE ASK YOUR SALES REP FOR ADVICE ON WHAT TO DO. Generally, if you open up your back end stats to us and let us see coversions we will handle all of your bidding for you.

As a general rule free trials and cheap 3 day trials tend to have better success on Sex.Com as most of the traffic we have is not that internet savvy. In addition, those with dialers do extremely well when targeting their keywords to our Western Europeam countries only.

My feeling is that is takes about $250 to see whether or not our engine will work for you. It is unfair to say that a $50 spend that netted one $30 signup is a failure when that next click could have got a signup and it would be deemed a success. We have over 800 active advertisers in our engine which is proof that the traffic does convert for most people who try it and stick with it.

If you have an account open with us, we will offer you a 25% match on your next deposit to give us another try and if you have never tried Sex.Com we will offer the same promotion to give us a shot.

Again, please contact your sales rep and use their expertise to help make your spend with us a success.

If you have any further questions please drop me a line at briang AT sex DOT com

You are an fucking idiot ... they are one of the most professional adult companies in the biz. Their sales folks are always around to help. Some site just don't sell, period. There are 14 million of them out there. If the traffic doesn't work for your site -- too fucking bad, build more galleries you sloppy assfucker.

What part of making a deposit, listing your site, and choosing your bid price didn't you understand genius?

:1orglaugh I might have said it nicer ... but I agree. I have not had the "best" luck with their traffic (just about break even to this point) but their staff has been great and very helpful. Hard to get ripped off when you see your site listed, choose your price, and see every single click you get.

It couldn't be easyer with sex.com - it's gold.

what was ur keyword? :Graucho

@zorgman,

Thats one of the things I noticed that the add does the sell and that the link goes right to the sponsor so you dont feel that having a landing page or a one hit wonder would be a good idea.

Good one. :thumbsup

Ketadream, I read your post a couple of times and I can make out if your asking me a question or making a statement. :1orglaugh
