Predicting the Performance Marketing Trends for 2012

Happy New Year!  Here are my predictions for performance marketing trends in 2012.  As a special bonus, I share with you the top 3 ideas on how REXTOPIA can be a source for you in leveraging these opportunities.

1.  Pay Per Call Will Be a Growing Trend This Year:
As most of you know, we've been supporting ppcall for over 2 years via our REXCONNECTS platform.  It can be accessed via your REXTOPIA interface - top right - if you want to see what offers are available.  We are focusing this year on bringing in new exclusive offers, like LaserSpineHelp, and direct ones like Total DUI.  If you haven't begun exploring ppcall because you are unsure how to go about marketing them, please visit MOBILEMONEYBANDIT.COM.  Justin Elenburg has done a great job explaining the process in his new course available 1.12.12.  Because Justin is a friend and associate, I had the opportunity to preview the training materials.  If you are serious about learning the RIGHT way generate revenue from ppcall offers, please consider his course.

2.  Mobile is a Ripening Opportunity:
Justin also covers in his course, the basics of mobile marketing and optimization techniques.  Over the next few months you will be seeing more mobile offers in REXTOPIA to take advantage of the growing mobile inventory available.  We have partnered with a mobile landing page optimization engine and will be building exclusive landing pages to leverage the growth of the mobile marketing industry.  This technology along with the back end validation resources we've instituted as a company will ensure quality leads to our buyers. For an example of our initial offering check out (EXCLUSIVE) DUI Mobile, more to come soon!

3.  Demand for Quality Leads with Increase CPL Payouts: There is tremendous emphasis on lead quality.  Rex Direct Net has spent considerable time, money and other resources building out processes to ensure our clients receive the best available.  We are already seeing the benefits of this strategy as we get rate increases that we pass on to you.

Thank you for your continued support of our company and solutions.  We wish you all the best in 2012 and look forward to helping you reach  your financial goals.

Happy New Year,
Jennine

Let's Talk Mobile for a Minute

Mobile Madness has finally hit.  I've been anticipating it since 2004!  Here are a few thoughts on how to take advantage of this trend (that is here to stay) and how Rex Direct Net can support you.

There are variety of ways to get and monetize mobile traffic.  Let's start with the getting...

The easiest way to get traffic is to leverage mobile ad networks. Some are better than others, you will need to decide for yourself. These are a few I've tested. They are not listed in any particular order.

1. Mojiva.com

2. Admob.com

3. Adfonic.com

4. BuzzCity.com

5. Webmoblink.com

6. Google.com

7. Jumptap.com

8. Airpush.com

How do I decide which network is best? Here are a few things I look for when evaluating them:

- How fast they approve my ad

- How responsive customer service is

- How well does traffic perform

- How effective are their targeting capabilities

- Do they have variable insertion for my links

- How transparent is their reporting. 

It takes money, patience and meticulous organization to make these campaigns profitable, but once you find the magic formula you will be set for a long while.

What is the magic formula - well...here are few hints:

- Make sure you track using subid variables in cake to ensure you know what the formula is when you find it!  - Test and track variations in: source, carrier, and handset (to name the most important in my opinion).

- Test various ad copy to boost click through rates.

Rextopia helps you find the magic formula by giving you these tools you need to start and by optimizing landing pages associated with our exclusive offers.  In this way we can increase your conversion rates real time.

Creatives are typically text or image. Test at least 2 creatives at once. Separate campaigns by creative type. Optimize based on performance until click through rates are where you want them to be (typically .1 or higher.)  We have loaded a few banners in REXTOPIA, but if you want to create your own, feel free.  Just pass the designs by your affiliate manager prior to promoting.

What about the click to call options in these mobile ad networks? How do they compare with sending traffic direct to landing pages? I've played with click to call via mobile on some of these networks, but have had limited success.  Maybe you can do better?  Seems that people are more responsive to filling out a form, than clicking and calling.  Perhaps in the near future that will change.

Real tracking with mobile offers can be tricky for some affiliates that have their own systems.  The only way to know if a transaction went through is with a S2S pixel or post back URL.  That is why some mobile pubs prefer to host their own landing pages.  Our exclusive mobile offers can be hosted by our publishers provided that the landing page is approved prior to going live.  If you fall into this group, ask your affiliate manager for more information.

We don't have a TON of mobile offers right now, but we DO HAVE A FEW.  Join REXTOPIA to get more information on the latest available.

Here's to a super successful 2012 in the mobile space.
