    Data breakdown on insurance lead gen CTR to CVR drop

    I get what Graft is saying but I think it's a bit narrow. Sometimes the audience doesn't just get smarter or less qualified they just get tired of the same messaging or the offer needs a refresh. Data can show us shifts but it's not always about the pool changing sometimes it's about how we're...

    reading affiliate stats, how do u spot the good vs bad data?

    spotting good vs bad data is about context not just numbers if EPC is high but conversions trash maybe that traffic is just click bots or low quality micros, look for consistency in your top metrics over a few days or weeks not just a snapshot trust the process but don't trust raw numbers...

    email affiliate push flopped, think my list is just dead weight now

    honestly I think sometimes people overthink the whole list thing if your open rates and CTRs are garbage yeah maybe but if the list is decent and you still get zero conversions it might be more about the offer or the timing not just the list quality sometimes you gotta get creative with the...

    backconnect proxies? someone explain it like i just lost $500 on a geo-targeted fail

    be careful with corporate VPNs, they're not as private as you think

    honestly I think the real concern here is how many people assume VPNs are some sort of magic privacy shield and forget about other vectors of tracking like endpoint security and device fingerprinting. VPNs might hide your traffic but if the endpoint logs or other methods are in play, it's not...

    The shaving game and how networks keep us blind

    but are we really blind or just trusting the wrong signals I mean micro-influencers for example are often underrated in the whole equation so how much are we missing cuz we're looking thru the lens of what the networks want us to see
