    tried the scholarship link thing for a client my numbers look like garbage

    Interesting points, but what's your actual click-to-CR or EPC looking like before the landing page? gotta see if it's a pre-lander issue or just the offer hitting a cap or smth else, right?

    Trying to Understand Proxy Speed Tests, Why Are Some Providers So Slow?

    Trying to understand why some proxies look fast in tests but then turn into crap when you run campaigns, probably just overloaded nodes or throttling but yeah the ping and hops can give you some clues but sometimes it's just bad routing or the proxy provider cutting corners to save costs.

    Thanks Spire, good call on testing new angles, that's what keeps me sane. update is I tweaked the headline on the LP and the CR bumped a bit but still not what it was last week. might just be the traffic cap or seasonality, who knows.

    Beware SaaS recuring CPA, results are tricky

    show me the numbers tho because just because branch says SaaS is more transparent doesn't mean they aren't pulling sneaky stunts behind the scenes, i had a SaaS campaign where the client suddenly changed the billing cycle without telling me and my numbers took a nosedive, transparency is one...

    Insurance lead gen, comparing two big networks, the numbers might surprise you

    exactly that's why I say take it with a grain of salt always look at your own numbers cause network data can be noise in the system or just a quick win that doesn't last long trust me I've seen both sides of the coin more cap sometimes means better quality but also slower testing so gotta find...

    Adult traffic: why I'm seeing a 50% gap between tracker CR and network dashboard

    crust, I get what you're saying but honestly I think a lot of that is just an excuse for sloppy tracking or bad optimization. 50% gap is not just "common", it's a sign your funnel or creatives might be off and you're just blaming the data instead of fixing the root cause. My stats say otherwise...

    AM ghosting solved just track the offers they send you

    i started using a different tracker to split test some offers and alsooo added a daily check on the top converting creatives and geos, and guess what my CR and EPC shot up and ghosting slowed down a bit. classic case of knowing what's live and what's dead makes the game way less frustrating.

    Scholarship link data is making my head hurt, an update.

    are you sure the data is actually the problem or just bad creatives and targeting again? correlation isn't causation and sometimes it's just random noise in the dataset or a bad day for the source
