Okay, so I see a lot of hype about push notifications being this untapped goldmine. Had to test it myself for a client in the finance niche. Spent about 3k on a major push network, tier 1 geo, supposedly high-quality placements. The results were.. aggressively mediocre. The CTR was decent at first glance, like 0.8%, but the conversion lag was insane. Took almost 48 hours for most leads to come in, and the quality? Absolute trash. Support tickets for days about people not remembering signing up. My theory is that inventory is so oversold now you're just getting bot clicks and burned-out audiences. Everyone's saying it works but I'm skeptical AF unless you're running some crazy aggressive incentive offer. Anyone else getting real conversions lately or is this just recycled hype? This is the way
Push traffic numbers from my last test. Maybe we're all wrong.

Push traffic numbers from my last test. Maybe we're all wrong.
Honestly, this sounds like classic case of ignoring the data and jumping to conclusions, push traffic isn't just about the volume and what the network claims to have, it's about the targeting, the angle and the LP relevance, those 48 hours delay and trash quality? prob bad traffic source, or just lazy on your side not tweaking the LP and CR, no way it's all bot clicks unless your targeting is so broad that you're just throwing money at random audiences, which in my experience, is the fastest way to burn out and get bad data, I've seen campaigns in the same vertical crush it with good micro targeting and unique angles, so maybe your "recycled hype" is just the wrong traffic source or LP vibe, don

OH MY SWEET SUMMER CHILD, "prob bad traffic source or just lazy on your" COME ON. That's the kind of lazy blanket statement I hear all the time. The thing is, 99% of the time it's not the source, it's how you're running it. I've seen push campaigns with 3-4% CVR in tier 1 geo, and then I've seen others get 0.2% cuz they're running creatives that look like spam and LPs that load slower than dial-up. It's not the network, it's your execution. If your traffic is bad, it's because you didn't do your homework, you didn't optimize the creatives, or you didn't nail the targeting. Stop blaming the source like it's some cosmic curse. You control your funnel, your offers, your creatives.
sorry but that just proves the point. if people are not remembering signing up after 48 hours, that's a sign your LP is trash or your targeting is off. push traffic is all about relevance and sharp targeting, not hoping for a quick fix.
smh, rn everyone acts like push is some magic bullet but then gets surprised when it flops. dude, pushing traffic w/o a solid angle, good targeting, and a killer LP is like throwing darts blindfolded. sure, maybe some people get quick wins but most of the time you're just feeding bots and wasting budget. i swear people forget that the real magic is in how you run it, not just the traffic source. if your leads don't remember signing up after 48 hours, maybe you should rethink your entire funnel instead of blaming the network. imo, this hype around push is mostly just noise until someone actually cracks the code. gl hf
rubs eyes Mold, my dude, you think your logs being different somehow means I was wrong? That's classic mistake. I'm talking about CTR and leads and conversion lag actual numbers not logs.
Insane conversion lag? That's on your LP or retargeting. Push traffic can hit quick but if your landing page sucks or your audience is dead, lag like that is just the norm.

I think that sometimes people blame the traffic when actually it's the landing page or offer getting stale. Burnout happens there way more often than traffic just dying. If your numbers are down but clicks are still coming, maybe your CVR is just shifting, not traffic dead. Keep an eye on creative fatigue first before calling it a traffic issue.
Disagree a bit.
Just because clicks keep coming doesn't mean traffic isn't dying. Could be the quality slipping or bots filling the click count.
cool story bro but where's your actual ctr and conversion data? pushing traffic without those numbers is like trying to build a house with spaghetti. show me the real results or it's just a bunch of hot air. also, what kind of traffic are you talking about? bot hits, legit seo? cause that makes a difference. but hey, maybe you found the secret sauce and we all just missed it. or maybe you just got lucky with some sandbox fluke.
pushing traffic is like betting on black without knowing the odds. Without actual CTR and conversion data, it's just a bunch of numbers that look impressive but mean squat. Anyone can pump fake numbers, but real results are what matter. Still waiting for the magic unicorn stats that prove this isn't just smoke and mirrors
Prove me wrong but pushing traffic without showing CTR and conversions is basically throwing darts in the dark. If you don't know your click-throughs or how many actually buy, you're just guessing. No amount of traffic volume makes up for shitty metrics. Numbers don't lie, but they can sure as hell be faked. Until you show real data that backs your claim, I call BS.
yeah totally agree pushing traffic without metrics is just throwing cash into the wind. you gotta see CTR and conversion rate to know if your traffic juice is worth the squeeze. otherwise you're just burning money for no reason
Yeah pushing traffic without seeing the numbers is like driving blind. CTR and CVR are the real proof if your traffic is worth the effort. Anyone can flood a lander but if it doesn't convert you just wasted ad spend. I'll die on that hill that owning your email list is the real gold mine. Traffic is cheap but if you don't track the right metrics you're just throwing money at shadows. Hope your test had some solid data behind it or else it's just noise. Nobody wins long term without real numbers.

look, i gotta disagree with the idea that pushing traffic blindly is a total waste. facts over feelings. sometimes you gotta test at scale to see what sticks. yeah CTR and CVR are king but if you're only looking at those numbers without considering the source, you might miss the bigger picture. like, what if your source gets flagged? then you're back to square one. i've seen campaigns run on raw traffic numbers that looked sus at first but turned into gold once you filtered out the noise. bottom line, don't be afraid to push and learn. just make sure you're paying attention to the details that matter. pushing traffic isn't just about volume, it's about finding the pattern in the chaos. wym, sometimes you gotta run the experiment to know what's real. facts over feelings.
