For PPC, one should aim to get 100-500 clicks before making any judgment as to whether the campaign is profitable.

What about CPV?

How many views should I aim for before passing any judgment?

50,000 if you are doing low paying offers (email submits)


over 500,000 for rebills

thats per target.

You're saying you should test at least $5,000 worth of traffic on a rebill? Are you retarded?

How about try spending double the CPA.

Double doesn't seem like it would be enough, there are times when you go three or four times the CPA before getting a convert and it is still a profitable campaign. I would probably say 4 or 5 times the CPA stretched over at least a 6 hour period, not just throwing 4 or 5 times the CPA in 15 minutes.

For example there are offers that I am running that convert horribly during the night (to the point of running at a loss) but great during the day so if you were to launch the campaign during those bad hours you would think it is not profitable even though it is during the right hours (which is why you set it up so that it only runs during the right time). There are plenty of offers that you want to limit to certain hours of the day but that requires testing. Heck, there are offers you want to limit to certain days of the week even like just weekdays or just weekends.

If anything I would say that if you can to set a budget of about 100-200 dollars for the day and try to spread that out evenly so you get a good idea of what times work best and then adjust your campaign accordingly.

2x the CPA PER KW or Site.

I have to agree. Typically this is my style to start at least. Later once the campaign is profitable i may come back and try to get some of these to work in different ways and throw some more money at it.
 
well i like to start with 2x the hurr and then throw in an additional test of 2x durr

ahh okay, thx for the tips! so if i do 2x durr first that should be good data and that do like 2x-4x hurr after a few hours?

just make sure to keep your derivative to hurr ratio proportional to the logarithm of desired statistical significance.
 
evasive said:
Yes, test $5000 on a $35 paying offer for statistical significance.

He forgot to mention that there are exceptions to this, the most notable being when your hurr is parallel to your durr so you can just square root that and attain statistical significance.

you are the most retarded person here .. honestly

you are retarded for thinking i was being serious


but to honestly reply:


1000 impressions to test - you don't need to be the #1 bidder when testing. spend as much as the offer payout to test, or 2x the offer payout. depends on how significant you want your data to be.
