Flux iPhone app in production

Author Sean    Category ,

Just a heads up that our CTO, Mr. Bojan, as we like to call him, is working on an app for all of you iPhone lovers! The app will be pretty basic to start, maybe let you see today's, yesterday's, and this month's REVENUE earned. I know I hate logging in to view stats, so a little app on my phone could be cool.

We welcome ALL ideas for a cool app, just let us know what you would want, and we'll see if it's possible.

All offers tested and approved

All offers on our network are tested before they go "live". We first test an offer to our in-house email list to make sure it converts for our email marketers. We then have our PPC team test it out with search traffic.

Once we feel comfortable with the results, we add the offer to Flux.

I don't know if other networks test their offers first or not, all I know is that we do!

We also update old TOP performing offers with new creatives on a regular basis. Most networks tend to inform publishers of "NEW HOT OFFERS" everyday and forget about the offers of days past...not because they don't convert anymore, but because they are not "TODAY'S HOT OFFER THAT WILL BLOW YOUR PANTS RIGHT OFF OF YOUR BODY"!

Our "OLD" offers are just as good tomorrow as they were yesterday...new doesn't always mean better.

A Nice Tool For PPC Marketers

Author Jonathan Lyons    Category , ,

I just wanted to let you know that we were recently contacted by StatsJunky wanting to offer their PPC software EXCLUSIVELY to FluxAds affiliates for a limited window of time. So after reviewing the program ourselves we decided we'd like to pass the details on to our PPC pubs.

I believe they sell their software for $700 a year…not totally certain, but I think it’s $700. Anyway, they are allowing our clients to buy it for 50% off. This tool is handy if you've ever been frustrated with setting up keyword level tracking, collecting and analyzing stats (one of the most important parts of PPC) setting up campaigns, sub ids, or manually creating profit loss reports.

It's a PPC and Affiliate stats automation tool and the amount of time and resources it can open up for you as an affiliate is alarming.

They make tracking a breeze (no, you don’t have to ask us to place tracking pixels anymore) and it automatically produces instant profit loss reports broken down to keyword, ad group, campaign, search engine, whatever you'd like to see.

Making money through Twitter?

Author Jonathan Lyons    Category , ,

Twitter is this years buzz word and making money through Twitter is on every Internet Marketers mind. The real question is can you REALLY make money through Twitter?

I am going to guess that yes you can but is it worth your time? Some of our pubs have tried making money through Twitter and have made some scratch but they all have complained that it was very time consuming and the return wasn't all that great. Does this mean that no one is making money off of Twitter? Not at all, I am sure there are hundreds of people gaming Twitter and making a killing through it. Of course they are being smart about it and keeping it as quiet as possible.

Soon though people will catch on and then Twitter will be even more saturated with affiliate links and hot crazy girls looking for a good time.

My advice?

Spend your time and resources working on proven marketing methods and leave the Twitter marketing to the people who have dozens upon dozens of outsourced staff members.

Author Sean   

Ellen DeGeneres will be a new judge on 'AMERICAN IDOL'. What does this mean for Fluxads.com publishers? It means that we will be working with one of our closest advertisers to get a new offer on Fluxads that pertains to this news.

The offer will be an email or zip submittal campaign, and will be something like this:

"Will Ellen DeGeneres be better than Paula on American Idol?"

Let you AM know what you think!

Author Jonathan Lyons    Category , , ,

According to a recent article in Adotas, the CPM model is starting to decline as the CPL model continues to climb.

It's a great article by Edward Barrera and a quick read. I definitely recommend giving it a read yourself: Cost-per-lead advertising gaining
