Adcombo - A Cpa Affiliate Network

[Tim AdCombo]

While Facebook Ads is insane about Ad Accounts and blocks everything it can block, lots of affiliates turned to native ads, as it is still popular to run COD-offers. Native ads have always been one of the most effective ways to promote the so-called WOW-products.

In comparison to Facebook’s insanity, the networks of native advertising seem to be more stable and predictable. One does not need to provide thousands of unnatural actions like account farming, obtaining dozens of credit cards, cell phones in order to start running ads. Facebook ads are horrible.

Before every affiliate started running campaigns via Facebook, native ads were very popular. I believe, everybody knows how it works in native. Information is the secret weapon of native ads. Data is the key! In all cases, a successful campaign consists on: ads + offer + audience. The one, who owns the data about his competitors’ profitable ads, will always be successful.

One of the most important kinds of the tool here is a spy tool. There are plenty of solutions on the market (of course you can find even free options) and networks may use the same resource differently at various times. The essence of any Spy Service is a number of bots that collect the data about active campaigns and then organizes it into a spy database. Access to such a database is often the interface of a spy tool itself. So, the difference between the various Spy Services depends on the number of these bots and the way they collect data.

Unfortunately, not every service can provide useful information from native ad networks. Some of them use out-of-date information (you can hardly make money with the old offer in CPA), other ones have just a lack of information (and provide false data).

Among the many Spy Services we would like to recommend you AdPlexity. This is the main service for anyone who runs native traffic. Why? It has all the functions of all the others services combined. Moreover, there is a tracking of creative materials in all top networks with COD-offers. Information is taken from:

- RevContent
- MGID
- Content.Ad
- Yahoo Gemini
- Taboola
- Outbrain
- AdNow


And the best part is, all the ads pieces are collected in multiple languages. COD model is very popular in Asia these days. And AdPlexity does really great there. You can combine Vietnam, Thailand and even the Philippines (which is extra cool for COD).

Another bonus is an opportunity to track not only ads but the whole campaign. The service empowers affiliates to learn more about all the elements: a sequence of redirects, all landing pages that use that creative material and vice versa, all creative materials for this particular lander. Well, there you got everything you need to start your own campaigns.

The service has so many settings and filters, that you can analyze your rivals campaigns down to every exact click. So if you are already sick of Facebook Ads with its bans (definitely you are) – switch to AdPlexity and go conquer Outbrain and Taboola (bans there happen more and more though).

Price is the only bad thing about AdPlexity. But here, too, we provide a solution. Our affiliates receive a pretty good discount! If they follow this link:

- mobile $149 instead of $199 (25% saved)
- native $169 instead of $249 (32% saved)
- desktop $149 instead of $199 (25% saved)


We, with AdPlexity, will give away 2 free month subscriptions among those ones who have purchased any of the subscriptions above. Winners will be announced at the end of the next month.

We’re not arguing that you may find some more discounts and bonuses. But we are pretty sure that our offer is the best one ?

 

[Tim AdCombo]

Today we are glad to present our next offer which was given a second life. An offer which was quite a success in Asia and now it is rolling out into the European market. Please welcome Money Amulet!

Few words about this offer (product):

As it is claimed on landing pages Money Amulets were created by ancient monks/witches/elves/dwarves… you name it. And you, my dear customer, have a unique opportunity to buy one of those amulets for a symbolic price of just a few euros. Those amulets will not only give you +1000 points in luck but also they are great for increasing your libido. As always, this is an ultimate cure for all diseases, my friends!

Why Europe?

Originally Money Amulet offer was launched for Thailand and there was a pretty good approval rate of 40%. So, our affiliates started asking their AMs to make this offer available in other regions either. As you might already know AdCombo is a client-oriented company… So we couldn’t resist. And here we go – Money Amulet for European countries!

Let’s see why they are particularly good for all that esoteric stuff.

According to a study conducted in 2017 among citizens of Central and Eastern European countries roughly 1 out of 2 citizens believes in miracles. The survey also finds that many respondents across the region hold beliefs that magic, sorcery or witchcraft can influence people’s lives. Cool?

Second, there is also another article from The Telegraph claiming that Italians spend £5 billion a year on fortune tellers and astrology. “Italians are very susceptible to trying their luck on anything esoteric and they’re extremely superstitious” said Carlo Climati, who wrote a book on superstitious beliefs.

Now that you know all those interesting facts and statistics I hope you understand that Europe is a gold mine for esoteric offers and with Money Amulet all gold can be yours. So, don’t w

aste your time! Go and grab it! AdCombo’s mailing list is quite long and our blog is quite popular.

[Tim AdCombo]

While everyone else runs traffic to Money Amulet, competition for other offers reduces. That is why it’s time to focus your attention and direct your traffic to offers in another niche. These sprays, for example. Let’s see what do we got here.

[13762] Smoke Out – VN

A spray that helps quit smoking. And also enhance the skin, bleaches your teeth, makes your hair shiny and you can have it all in a couple of weeks! The price is pretty low and this is one more reason for a consumer to buy the product.

[13761] Night Comfort – VN

A spray that relieves snoring. You will not wake up in the night, again and again, your loved ones will get enough sleep finally, there will be no health problems. No side effects, a long shelf-life, and small packages make consumers buy several products at a time.

[13763] EcoSpray – VN

A spray that helps you lose weight. Almost everyone wants to be thinner, men and women, from 15 to 60 years, all countries and cities. But each one of them doesn’t want to go to the gym, breaking their diets, can’t wake up early to make a morning run, etc. And with EcoSpray you just need to use it 3-4 times a day and that’s it. Decreases appetite, suppresses sugar cravings, speeds up fat digestion, well, consumers will lose weight right before their eyes.

Why only one GEO – Vietnam? There are the highest approval rate and payouts. Well, it’s understandable – the weather is hot there and creams are not really convenient to use and, therefore, not popular. Moreover, creams and gels are everywhere and consumers are bored with it. A spray is a relatively new format which attracts people’s attention.
All of these offers work well for both men and women. Well, better use women audience for EcoSpray, creative materials for men audience are being developed.

Okay, but why these offers, there are lots of others. Everything about them is great – the approval rates, the payouts, there are really good profitable combos (contact your manager for more info). Unfortunately, everyone forgot about these offers. We have even certificates! But use cloaking with Facebook traffic, so far, experience had shown that there is a high chance to be banned.

This is all for today. For more information, contact your managers – they are always happy to help!
And stay tuned – we prepare something really interesting for you

 

[Tim AdCombo]

Boobs and iPhone! Reading now? Good. We are launching a new contest and, yes, we didn’t lie – there really will be an iPhone and boobs involved. So, what’s the point?

There are 5000 units of our UpSize (5481) offer, GEO – Chile. You have lots of high-quality traffic.
We need to sell all the items as soon as it’s possible.
The one who makes more leads than others gets a brand new iPhone X 256Gb (you choose the color).
Only one winner, not so much time and not so many products. Go, go, go!

If you need any advice about how to run this offer – contact your manager. They are always ready to help.

*By the way, we reserve the right not to disclose the winner’s name.

 

[Tim AdCombo]

​

AdCombo Blitz contest is still active and we are waiting for the one worthy of a new iPhone X. Remember the rules? Make more leads than others on UpSize – CL (5481) and get an iPhone. Haven’t heard about the contest? Check the details here.

So, we decided to give you a bit more motivation to use your chance. And what we did? We have bumped the payouts for this offer a couple of days ago! Even if you don’t win an iPhone, you will make good money anyway.
Moreover, today we are going to talk about how you should run this offer in Chile and give you some free tips. We talked to our managers, analyzed the statistics and this is what we’ve learned.

Native Ads. Lots of native ads. Most parts of the affiliates (65-70%) run traffic through native ads there and the results are pretty good. Like, really. Other 30-35% go to Facebook and push-ups (which is not bad too).
Also, the advertiser guarantees the 30% approval rate minimum even if a call-center fails. So you can be sure that even on the bad days it won’t be lower, and most of the time it’s even higher.

Speaking of traffic type – clearly mobile. Most part of traffic goes from mobile devices. VTR Mobile, Entel, Claro, Nextel… Well, there is indeed little point in listing the operators, because the most used by affiliates – the most popular ones. Also, no surprise that the most popular browser is Chrome.

Okay, this is the really exciting part now. We want to share the most profitable creative pairs. Experience and ongoing analysis have shown that for UpSize – CL (5481) better use this combo:

[11360 -> 19246]

Pre-lander: PF-Dating-UpSize-MX-es

Lander: UpSize + action

Also, the next pre-lander goes really good too!

[19799 -> 19246]

Pre-lander: 7Days – UpSize – CL

Lander: UpSize + action

Pay your attention to these pre-landers because this is exactly what hooks people. Use it in your creative materials to make them more appropriate for the audience.

So, here it is. All the information you need to get a profit from this offer. Make a bit of an effort and an iPhone X is yours ?

​

Yes! And our colleagues from MGID have prepared a whole article with 6 compelling arguments in favor of native advertising (according to our partner MGID).

1. We know what your audience needs
First, Facebook actively promotes different native ad formats. Moreover, about 86% of all impressions of Audience Network are native.

But you need to remember that native ad is not just about visual conformity. MGID defines it as sponsored info which fits a site at all points – a visual part, a content and an object of promotion. Facebook shows ads using a very sophisticated algorithm. Native networks offer the same targeting options but allow you to improve the user experience.

2. Long-term plans
You never know when Facebook is going to ban your campaigns. And this is the biggest advertiser’s problem. The situation is exacerbated by the moderation policy and constantly changing algorithms. Even if you find a profitable combo, it doesn’t mean it will work for a long time. Facebook may ban it without explanation.

But if your campaigns passed the MGID moderation, you can relax. Focus your attention on optimization and increasing earnings.
Of course, MGID has its own moderation policy. But if something is wrong, managers will help you to edit your landing pages or creative materials. We think, you will agree, Facebook doesn’t do that. Also, don’t forget that combos that are profitable for Facebook work well for native ads as well.

Obviously, we don’t want you to stop all your Facebook campaigns or something ? Just remember that Facebook is good for short-term campaigns and native ad works better for long-term ones.

3. Things get easier
Facebook is basically just another ad network that promises you powerful results, but it has its own shortcomings. No postback, their tracking system is not user-friendly, account blocking and campaigns rejection. Also, setting up and running campaigns takes a lot of time and effort. We believe that better use it for split-tests, searching for new offers, creating new banners and landing pages. For the income-generating things.

4. The reliability
Recently there have been many scandals related to disinformation, meddling in the election and the issue of confidentiality. It has damaged Facebook’s reputation. Facebook is constantly changing the “rules of the game”, so it’s difficult to predict which algorithms would be relevant in the nearest future.

The conclusion is clear as day: you just can’t be sure for how long your combo will remain profitable. Because one day, Facebook could decide to change the rules again and suspend your campaign.

5. All that matters is results
Facebook doesn’t really care about you and your problems. You can wait for a response from their support forever. Solving one little problem takes a lot of time. In MGID you have a personal account manager, his job is to monitor the statistics of your campaign, optimize it and answer any of your questions.

6. Push-traffic on Facebook?
You probably have already seen push-notifications on the screen of your computer and phone. Those are requests that offer to subscribe and receive other notifications. If you agree with the suggestion, you will receive short messages on your computer or mobile phone. Very simple. But there is a really good question: is it a good idea to use push-traffic?

Well, yes:

- All devices have access to push notifications;
- Subscribers can control which notifications and what device is used;
- Push is an excellent way to notify subscribers about discounts and hot offers;
- You can check the number of unique visitors of your site as quickly as possible;
- Push notifications work very good with in-app traffic;
- Users better respond to notifications in real time.


But unfortunately (or fortunately, who knows), push is not allowed on Facebook.

7. Native ads are the future
The preliminary appraisal of native share in the global media market will be more than 60% in 2018. And this is the most dynamically growing advertising format on the market. The statistics speak for itself
In addition, MGID uses more than 20,000 websites around the world, so we can easily “catch up” with the Facebook audience on the platforms that it likes.

So, if you feel that your business needs a reboot, then we have prepared a special surprise for you!

All Adcombo users receive a 25% bonus when top up your balance by $500 and more.

You may have already heard about our ThaiNado contest – it gives you an opportunity to win a new iPhone XS max. If not, check out all the conditions here.
–––––––––

OK, so now, while the contest is fully rolling, we have decided to help you with some exclusive info, directly from our GOJI CREAM advertiser in Thailand. Let’s see:

Who mainly buys Goji Cream in Thailand? Males or Females?

Without a doubt, married women are our main consumers. Also, we have noticed that Thai people are absolutely obsessed with white skin. Therefore we would recommend you using creative materials with white-skin Thai women.

And what about age? Can we say that they are adults or mostly elderly people?

Our average customer is 45+ years old. But younger people are also interested in our product. I can say that roughly 12% of our customers are 18 – 30 years old.

Can you please share information about their financial status and hobbies?

Oh, they mostly have an average income. Although sometimes we get orders from housewives. Regarding hobbies, I would say that most of our customers don’t have free time at all. 59% of surveyed customers say that their only hobby is home carrying. I honestly don’t know whether it can be defined as a hobby.

Here you go!

–––––––––

But that’s not it. Actually, we wrote a couple of articles about internet marketing in Thailand before. So let me summarise some info below.

1) King! King plays a very important role in Thailand. Better avoid making creative materials with him. For insulting the king you may not only get a FB ban but also be sent to a prison for 15 years.

2) Internet usage! The population of Thailand is about 70 mln. The average age of Thai people was about 37.8 in 2015. It means that Thai people are active users of the internet. Have a look at the graph below.

​

3) Social Media! Facebook is the most popular network there.

​

And «One more thing»©

We contacted our affiliate managers. And they told us that right now we have 21 Landings pages and 29 Prelandings for Thai. Feel free to choose your own combo BUT our affiliate managers say that [47251 -> 47275] should be the winning pair.

Cheers!

ROYAL BONUS FROM ADCOMBO

​

AdCombo’s Royal Fit! A special bonus that is available only for our publishers. We’ve got to show what the real network’s concern looks like. AdCombo and ePayService provide you with an exclusive opportunity to solve all the payment concerns.

EPayService is ready to provide a universal solution for the Facebook Ads and Google Ads payment just for our webmasters. What’s the deal? Everyone knows how irritative can the payment process be. From now on, you all have a unique opportunity to get rid off this problem by using one physical ePayService card (it includes up to three virtual credit cards with the reissue service).

Benefits:
- Virtual cards are provided with the same BIN as physical ones. There will be no difference at all;
- All the cards are bound to a particular address, the payment can be fit to your certain way of advertising and it won’t generate a trigger “suspicious activity”;
- Facebook Ads and Google Ads trust a lot BIN addresses of ePayService;
- Each AdCombo affiliate may have up to three virtual cards at a time, banned ones can be easily re-issued;
- Virtual cards have pretty high limits ($ 5,500 for the balance recharging and the total turnover up to $ 600,000) and live for six months.

​

Moreover, you can use those cards as a common payment. Exchange rates, money transfers, and cash-out from the ATM are pretty good. The cards are international so you can get your cash in almost all countries all over the world. Limit of the daily volume of transactions is $8500 (so is the max balance).

Also, the service is mainly a payment for webmasters, freelancers, affiliates and small entrepreneurs. So no one is going to question the source of funds – that’s a good thing.

Finally, the most important benefit: your card will not be blocked just because you decide to transfer your money to any online-payment service.

​

But there is one tiny little issue. Using ePayService CCs, don’t even think to leave your Facebook bills unpaid. The company values the reputation of its BINs, so as soon as affiliates leave their accounts in the negatives and re-issue their cards – the service will block access with all the funds (and it’s right).

How can you get it?

You need to submit an application using OUR link (so the emission and delivery of the regular card will be for free). Contact your affiliate manager, ask for the link, register and – there you go – get your card for free! BY THE WAY, you can get the card only if you actually run traffic to AdCombo

That’s it. And we highly recommend you to hurry up because the offer works in a test mode and could be suspended at any moment ?

[Tim AdCombo]

AdCombo has opened totally new offers in Jordan, Lebanon in UAE! No other network has such offers in these GEOs and you all know what that means – no competition. In addition, they were absolutely private and almost no one ran it yet! So we are glad to say it is a really new market with fresh traffic and there is a new audience that is starved for new content and eye-catching ads ?
Since we have promised you tips and lifehacks on those GEOs, now we are going to tell you more about these regions.



And we begin with the United Arab Emirates (UAE, Emirates).

The majority of the population in the country are expatriates from other countries so no surprise they use both Arabic and English versions of the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) – .ae (English) and .امارات (Arabic).
And speaking of the popular things – we made a list of the 5 most visited websites in the UAE:

• Facebook
• Google
• Google.ae
• YouTube
• Yahoo!

As you can see the majority of these websites aren’t regional websites but global websites with a regional presence.
And what about top 5 regional websites? Let’s see:

• Google.ae
  [*]Dubizzle.com
  [*]Souq.com
  [*]Gulf News
  [*]Kooora​

News, sport and shop resources – this is what the Arabs are interested in. Also, you may have noticed that they use regional Google site, not a global one.
But despite this, both English and Arabic are used in the UAE. Depending on the specific product you are promoting in the region it’s important to do your keyword research thoroughly in order to utilize your and efforts most effectively.

Also, a couple of insights for you: “UAE” as a keyword has much higher exact match search traffic than “United Arab Emirates” (obviously because it is much easier to type). Another important thing you should know is that the keyword “Dubai” has about 10 times more traffic than the country name (any of the versions).

And now let’s get to our favorite part, we are going to talk about social media.
In the UAE, as in most countries, social networks are becoming a central part of daily life. And, of course, no surprise that Facebook is a leader with 3.4 million UAE users. But then surprisingly goes Linkedin with more than a million users. And the third place is Twitter – 305K active tweeters.

What can we say about mobile marketing there? Go and explore it!
Mobile marketing is one of the most (if not the most) rapidly growing online channels in the UAE. Smartphone usage continues to grow and the country has the lowest cell phone usage cost (out of any Middle East country). Some lower class members of society may not even have regular access to a PC making their smartphone their sole gateway to the Internet. So using mobile banner ads may be a really good idea for your profit ?



Moving on – Lebanon ?

Lebanon (as well as Jordan we will talk about a bit later) is not such an advanced country as UAE when it comes to affiliate marketing and digital marketing in general. Regardless, Lebanon hosts an increasingly tech-savvy population of over 6 million, with a wide-open Internet-ready for digital marketers to make a profit from.

But back to the overview. The ability to target the right consumers for your product efficiently and intelligently depends on a good understanding of the motives, background, and culture of that audience (we hope it’s not news). So let’s quickly see what background this country has.

Lebanon has 6 million people, 95% is Arab and, what is way more important, 40% of the population is Christian. This actually makes Lebanon the country with the greatest amount of Christians in the Middle East. This information can be very useful to publishers both in terms of targeting their Lebanese audience respectfully, and also for the creation of various seasonal ads and promotions.

The official language is Arabic and French is used as the second language. Knowledge of English says about high levels of education.
Lebanon uses only one ccTLD – .lb .

Let’s see what sites they visit most often:

• Google.com.lb
• Facebook.com
• Google.com
• Youtube.com
• Live.com

The same situation as the UAE has – the majority of the list aligns to internationally popular websites such as Google and Facebook. Then let’s see top 5 regional websites:

• Google.com.lb
• Aljaras.com
• Bintjbeil.org
• Greenarea.me
• Saidaonline.com

Way more interesting, right? Apart from Google.com.lb and Greenarea.me, the sites focus on either entertainment news in the Middle East or on Lebanese current events. It is logical to assume, that there is a high level of interest across the Lebanese population on modern developments, entertainment, and information. Use this trend to target your ads more effectively ?


Social media and networks. There is no need to say that Facebook holds the first place but it takes the lion’s share of the market – 80.4% of the Lebanon population use the Internet and nearly 78% of that 80.4% use Facebook! Impressive, don’t you agree? Second place is for Twitter and then goes Linkedin.
By the way, Facebook boasts approximately 95.2% of the social media traffic on mobile, with Twitter earning 3% and all other sites (such as Google+, Tumblr, and YouTube) receiving other amounts of traffic.

Speaking of mobile traffic – Lebanon has been lauded as the country in the Middle East that is most quickly going mobile. It was around 25% penetration in 2006 and now it’s about 89-90%!

There is a lot of opportunities for affiliates to make a profit in Lebanon, with the country’s low competition and rising interest in mobile search and online exploration. All you need is be patient and research the local market as thoroughly as you can.



And the last but not less important – Jordan.

Begin with the basic information. Affiliates that are looking for an audience in Jordan should make their ad campaigns bearing in mind the young age of the country and population (about 42.2% is under 15 years old), large Muslim majority in the state and the emerging economy of the country, with the official unemployment rate 13% and the unofficial rate estimated at 30%.

The official language is Arabic, English is a common second language among the middle and upper classes of society. So, publishers that are hoping for high visibility on their ads should focus on creating relevant keywords and ads written in the Arabic language with Arabic characters, with a lesser focus on English.
As well as Lebanon, Jordan has only ccTLD – .jo.

Moving on. The 5 most popular global websites are almost the same as the UAE and Lebanon have. So, it’s more interesting to see the top 10:

• Google.jo
• Facebook.com
• Youtube.com
• Google.com
• Garaanews.com
• Alwakeelnews.com
• Sarayanews.com
• Ammonnews.net
• Alkawnnews.com

The most notable thing about this list is the high prevalence of news websites among the top visited sites there. Jordan is a bit of an anomaly in this way, as most countries typically have more social media pages and search engines (such as Twitter, LinkedIn, and Bing) featuring in their top 10 listing.
You should use this insight to focus your advertisements toward a curious and knowledgeable group with a high interest in the future of their country.

Due to the high Internet and smartphone penetration, Jordanians are very active on social networking sites – 84% of Jordanians use social websites such as Facebook and Twitter with 28% accessing these sites on their phones.
Jordan has the greatest preference towards Facebook in the Middle East but also shows high loyalty to Twitter – with 63% of the country subscribed and checking the site daily – take that into account.

For a country with such a high rate of smartphone and Internet penetration, Jordan’s mobile market seems lacking. Most likely, the largest barrier to a thriving mobile market is the heavy taxation levied on mobile services.
And while competition for the mobile market is currently low in Jordan, the current state of taxes and the economy may mean that the market will not prosper in the future and mobile ads is not really a good idea yet.
So, affiliates may find great success running advertisements in Jordan due to the country’s low competition rates in PPC advertising, high Internet penetration rate, and young and increasingly technical population.

In conclusion of the overviews above, we can say that there are enough weighty reasons to explore this market now. People are only starting to learn this part of advertising. Hooks and tips that don’t work anymore for popular GEOs are totally new and interesting for this audience.

Stay tuned and don’t miss more tips ?

Is it the end of the year already?!

We were so intent on our work, meetups, and networking with the affiliates that didn’t even notice when December has come. And so did all the winter holidays, especially Christmas!

2018 has been amazing in every way and this is a tribute to your persistence. Of course, we did contests, meetups, participated in conferences and many other things. But all of this we do for you and without our great affiliates, we wouldn’t have made remarkable progress!

But we’re just getting going ?

We got huuuge plans for 2019! New offers, GEOs, tips, events, contests with prizes and this is only a tip of the iceberg. We promise you to do our best and make your work with us as pleasant and easy as it can possibly be.

AdCombo would like to extend to all of you our best wishes for Christmas – the best of health and happiness, great payouts and conversion rates higher than the mountains, huge ROI and an endless stream of ideas for your creative materials! We are so grateful to have you with us, guys! ?
