Traffic Test Results: Action Marketing News / Dan Snow / MyWizardAds / Theresa Cahill
Marketing Blaster
Solo ads are a great way to get a lot of traffic in a short time. The rates are generally very competitive and customer aquisition costs are generally very low.
But, a percentage of offers for email solo advertising are just plain scams.
Here are the results for an offer we recently tried.
We purchased from Theresa Cahill at MyWizardAds who promised to get us a 2 for 1 offer from Action Marketing News who claims a circulation of 80,000 readers.
We received confirmation of our order from both Theresa Cahill and Dan Snow of Action Marketing News.
We subscribed to the list so we could see what they usually sent. We received nothing until the day of our first scheduled mailing. On that day, we received 4 visitors to the tracking URL we provided.
One week later, we received our 2nd mailing. We received zero visitors to the tracking URL we provided.
The offer was well tested. Our average CTR with other lists was 16.35%. If Action Marketing News had average results, we should have expected 13,080 visitors to the target URL for each of two mailings. We received 4.
The traffic was sent to a special offer for $10 that converted at 1.61% on average with other lists. We would have received 215 sales based on our average with other lists we tested this offer with. That would have been $2,150 in sales.
We received zero sales.
The cost of the ad was $80 and the ROI was 0%.
We obviously do NOT recommend Action Marketing News, Dan Snow, MyWizardAds or Theresa Cahill for solo email advertising.
If any of those parties have fixed their problems and would like a retest, we will be happy to do that for a $500 service fee. You can pay that here to get your retest:
Evaluate My Advertising Service
If you have a negative review and you think you have solved the problem, then the above service is for you.
If you have never received a review from us, then we might be willing to pay for your service and review it here at no charge to you. Leave your URL as a comment and request a review. If we don't already have a lot of paid re-reviews or paid initial reviews scheduled, then we might be willing to purchase a campaign from you to evaluate it.
We will never pay for a re-review since your initial campaign was a negative ROI for us. If you think you have the problems fixed that caused us to have a negative ROI, then you will need to pay for our time to review your service again.
In either case, if your service has a positive ROI with our proven evaluation offer, then we will recommend your service and publish the results. That will result in a lot of new customers for you because our readers trust our reviews since we always publish the facts and only the facts from a real test of your service.
If your service has a positive ROI with proven offers, then you deserve more customers and we would be happy to send them your way. The people we send your way will also be happy since you will be providing them a new traffic source that is profitable.
It is a Win-Win-Win situation and we love those here at Marketing Blaster. Leave a comment if you love those situations too.
