I went into Spamming to test bourgeois dating, but the classic mainstream is now overheated into junk, so the choice fell on the niche offer of TransBabes. The payment model here is as pleasant as possible for a quick test — SOI (Single Opt-In), that is, the payout drips for a simple registration without email confirmation. GEO is the fattest English—speaking Tier-1 (US, UK, CA, AU, NZ). Due to the light flow, the offer looks great.

Source and Economics

Lil from adult-tube banner on ExoClick. Social networks are no longer suitable for such a niche (moderation will kill at the start), but the audience on the tubes is targeted and the click is cheap. The average CPC for the campaign was ~$0.045.

In order not to waste over the cap, I set the automatic flow switch to a backup offer with 23 leads per day (a gap for flights). The CR from click to register on pure traffic was kept at 2.3–2.5%.

What's on the platform

Tracking for Spamatics works correctly: clicks and SOI actions are pulled up to the status almost in realtime (a couple of minutes delay), it really helps not to overflow the drops. Pop traffic and redirects on the offer are prohibited — the garbage will be cut off along with the payment for the period, so there is no point in chemical damage.

Prank: how the Australians ate my cup in the morning

A separate pain, which is not warned about anywhere, is that the cap is reset according to the time of the recl server, and not according to yours. And Tier-1 is spread across timezones so that there is almost a day's difference between New Zealand and the west coast of the United States. And here's an oil painting: the cap is reset, NZ and Australia have been on their feet for a long time and are cheerfully regaining control, and by the time expensive and delicious America wakes up, 25 leads have already been selected, the stream has automatically gone to reserve. That is, for half a day I fed the offer with the cheapest geo angle, and the top-end US simply did not have time to distribute.

He treated it with his hands, like a real border guard: in Keitaro, he cut the schedule into timezones and strangled AU/NZ in the first hours after the reset, holding the cap until the states woke up. A couple of times I caught myself checking from my phone at three in the morning to see if the Australians had eaten my daily limit. The romance of arbitration: you seem to set up a leadgen, but in fact you work as a bouncer at face control, which allows only the necessary passports.

As a bonus, an interesting little thing about creo surfaced: it wasn't the "hottest" banner that went best, but on the contrary — a calm, almost lamp-like one, with an emphasis not on 18+, but on "real profiles nearby." Apparently, on the tubes, the user is already overheated with pictures up to the glands, and it is the contrast that catches him. This nondescript creative eventually pulled out the bulk.

A sober conclusion

There is a profit, but a modest one: on the cap, 25 leads / day is not a milking, but a quality test. SOI quickly spins up the turnover and gives an early signal whether the bundle is coming in or not, but real money starts here only after the limits are expanded. In order for them to be raised, you need to show the client a stable account without a proxy and gain distance. According to the first test, the bundle is working — I continue to turn on the same settings and at the same time requested an increase in the cap from the Spamatics support.
