UPDATED: Setting up Sublime Revenue with TrafficShop (Hints Inside)

Ad network you can trust…

They say. Let’s see about that. Not that I have any doubts, really. The place literally says in it’s name what it offers. Exactly what we all need – traffic. And it’s a shop. In fact I remember TrafficShop‘s traffic is indeed performing wonders. Here’s the thing… So, I was loading the minimum deposit to buy some pops for an old site of mine I wanted a bit revived. That’s right – the story of how $100 turn into more than 5000 €. I am buying this Norwegian pop traffic for a Norwegian site of mine and… Whoosh! The magic wand strikes! The $100 are gone. But wait! A bit later, when the promo was no longer running, it appears one of the popped users clicked and signed up for an adult dating offer from my site’s ads spaces. HOT 359 – Sexy Meets Club to be exact. And really this was a great experience. Got myself some good times. Thanks! And this user still keeps on buying… With PPL (SOI/DOI) you would have gotten how much? 3.00 € maybe? 5? 6? Yeah… Right! What’s wrong with revenue share offers again? Anyway, this is why we will be discussing this ad network you can trust today and how to integrate Sublime Revenue with it. Few simple steps…

1. Of course – you will need to sign up, if you do not have an account.
2. Make a deposit from the options provided. $100 is a good start. Obviously.
3. Here come the more important parts… Check the traffic they have and the prices – both mainstream and adult. Just like Sublime Revenue has both mainstream and adult offers, so does TrafficShop have both adult and mainstream traffic. To find out the traffic volumes and prices, go to the menu item MARKETPLACE and filter out what you need from the filters below the main menu. Here is an example…DZ – Algeria. Right! These people would like any offer. Really. It is hard not to convert there. Careful, though! Feel free to pick any GEO and device segments according to your needs and budget.
4. Select the offers you like from Sublime Revenue. In this case, I have picked 680 – The Lonely Girs for mobile pop ads testing. I kind of liked the price and I know for a fact this offer converts in DZ, so let’s see…
5. Create your campaign by pressing the CREATE CAMPAIGN button. You can’t really miss it.
6. Aren’t we forgetting something important? Yes, we are! S2S conversion tracking! Let’s set up a postback. Here’s how mine looks like. I used Sublime Revenue’s token [external_source_clickID] [external_clickid] for my click ID tracking and [payout_USD] as my conversion amount tracking because TrafficShop deals with the USD currency in their system. Added it, turned it on, saved it. Let’s go!
7. It is a good idea to get down to customizing things and what we would like to see in stats. Here’s what I did.
   It is very important to check the tokens TrafficShop can provide, so you get the data you need. The other important part here is to use their click ID token on our click ID field and apply tracking.
8. Grab the newly generated URL from the lander you picked and get back to creating your campaign. Because they do not have connection token, and most importantly – because I would like to track each connection/carrier separately for the same OS and landing page, country and campaign settings, I created 4 campaigns for this offer. Same settings, just different connection type. Here goes
9. When done, just click on the orange “create campaign” button to save and await approval… And income!? Let’s see. And here are my 4 campaigns.

Remember! You do not need to copy what I just did. You have to find out what works best for you. This is usually done trough testing, experimenting and spending a few bucks here and there when it comes to media buying. Scaling up successful test campaigns is another topic we may be covering later on. And you know what? It turns out that usually the best traffic source is your own site. Let us know, if you need help building one. 😉

Good luck with your promotional campaigns!
