This. It's all fine and well he's getting lots of clicks but is he actually converting them to revenue? If all he's doing is an ad arbitrage mode (i.e. Hope visitors click on Adsense ads) he's doomed because that will never succeed.
- CaveTech 10y agoTo both you and the parent... I can promise you he made money. Affiliate advertising is rampant on Facebook because of how profitable it is. They do anton of shady things because Facebook actively tried to shut them down. This person is 't doing view arbitrage, theyre clearly doing affiliate marketing and I know it accounts for no less than several hundred million per year in revenue for Facebook.
- AznHisoka 10y agoI've done my share of affiliate marketing in various channels, and Facebook was by far the least successful for me. The guy in this piece doesn't seem to be targeting based on fans of that supplement, or something very targeted. He'd be lucky to get a 1% conversion rate. If I was a betting man, I'd wager it wasn't successful at all. He'd have better luck targeting keywords in Adwords, and preventing those ads from being seen in the city the supplement makers are based at, or something sneaky.
