after 6 months with push, I saw the same - CTRs trash, conversions low. turns out targeting is king, and saturation is real. try switching up your offer types and split testing creatives harder.
different angle: maybe prices shot up cuz carriers are clamping down hard on legit IPs, trying to squeeze more profit and tighten control, not just supply and demand. feels like the game got a lot more locked down.
man so i was digging into residential proxy prices and man, some providers are just playing games with cost per GB. like yeah u see 10 bucks a month but then u hit the data cap or pay crazy extra fees. and if u do the math, some of these guys are charging like 3-4 bucks per GB which is insane...
just my 2 cents, maybe worth trying to find those smaller or newer ones that actually pay on time and have decent offers, but yeah, no magic, just grinding and testing different ones till u find ur sweet spot.
yeah totally agree, if u got the volume u can push for higher payouts. most of the time the public rates are just a tease. gotta keep those AMs on speed dial.
60% of geo-proxies are unreliable, so calling it a 'deal' might be a stretch. You prob just got burned by a shady one. always test before trusting ur data.
haha crypto stuff always feels like riding a rollercoaster with no seatbelt, right? been there, lost some on sketchy networks too, so now I only promote legit ones with proof of payout and good reviews. stay away from hype and shady reps, look for those with transparent terms or verified...
lol, I tried outsourcing once, thought I could just snap my fingers and get a squad. dude took months to even get decent results, and most still flaky. don't buy into the quick fix hype, this ain't no fast food.
yo ok so i was trying to get some decent backlinks and figured id hit up some niche blogs for guest posts. after like dozens of sites only a few replied and even less said yes. basically niche authority sites are super picky theyll reject you if you dont follow their rules exactly or your pitch...
i disagree pop/redirect traffic is dead but u gotta be ultra picky about offers. try running geo tests and split-test different landing pages, see what sticks. small tweak can make or break ur CTR.
"Dedicated IP VPN use cases I swear it's not just hype" had a buddy tell me he got a dedicated IP for his ecom site and suddenly his ad accounts stopped flagging him for suspicious activity. sounds good, but tbh I've seen guys chase these shiny fixes and still get burned. never know till u try...
u gotta keep testing offers and creatives, not just chase shiny stuff. my best months came from sticking to what worked and tweaking. quick tip: track everything and learn what actually moves the needle.
last month i used a popular residential proxy provider and had issues with the geo being off even tho the IPs matched. turned out, the ISP info sometimes skews the geo if u don't run proper IP validation. so yeah, accuracy can be hit or miss depending on how u verify the location.
bruh, i get ya, waiting for Black Friday can be a gamble, sometimes the deals are just hype but other times u score legit discounts with good protocols like wireguard, so if privacy and streaming r ur main goals, keep a close eye on the fine print.
disagree a bit - quality over speed can kill ur ROI. 1 bad lead can trash ur whole campaign, so better to focus on tight targeting and vetting. quick wins are cool but long term quality wins more.
