AsmallOrange VPS host , Is good for use on it CPV Lab Tracker ?
For start, maybe yes, but I don't really recommend CPV lab anymore.
What happened to CPVLab? It used to be recommended as number one.
Things change quickly in this space. Competitors appear and the ones who stay updated, competitive and adding features are the ones people use.
Servando. what is your opinion on AdsBridge?
I have heard they have good support but honestly I haven't tested it so I can't say much about it.
Hello. You can ask them here. I don't work with Maxbounty but they're a good network. Best Regards.
Which networks do u suggest? I am keen to understand the domain and where to run the campaigns
The ones I recommend here in this page.
Hola disculpa que vps me rrecomienda para crear fb ads ya que mi ip esta en la blacklist? gracias de ante mano
Cualquier VPS como DigitalOcean o Vultr debería funcionar.
Nice info. thanks.
One question that I have is that I recently tried Pop traffic with some sweepstake and the conversion was good only to find out that almost all the leads were reversed. That feels really bad. The affiliate manager told me that that traffic source was problematic.
I was directly linking to the traffic source. No landing page.
In your opinion which networks accept such traffic? I asked Luke and he told me the offers with PPV allowed one's are OK to promote via POP advertising. I tried it and it doesn't convert at all. Please share your take on this. Thx.
Stop direct linking and add a landing page so you can increase the quality of your conversions and don't get reversed.
Yes, pop is part of PPV advertising and it does convert very well.
Hey Servando, What is your contact info skype or email ? and Do you teach 1-1 ? please let me know
I don't. Sorry.
Hello Servando
I am new Marketer.I want to know How Work Spy-tool. I really want to know about It.And which traffic source is really good for Gift card offers. Thanks
You want to know how a spy tool works? They crawl different websites and index the banners and other ads into a database so you can check them by geo, OS, etc.
Facebook works great for gift cards.
thanks
Hello,
I registered Zeropark but they rejected my application. Can you please help me get in ?
It really depends on their application process. There's not much I can do except for when we're running a promo or something like that.
Hi I want to know how can I promote Pin Submit step by step. Please it's urgent.
If it's urgent buy a course like 6WAMC and learn everything as fast as possible.
Hello, Please could you let me know if the plan 25GB SSD (1 CPU 1024MB Memory/1000GB Bandwidth) in Vultr is ok to begin with?
I am using a 512MB SVZ VPS plan in RamNode and I find LP speed is not so good, therefore, I haven't used the server quite often. And I realise the importance of LP, so I'd like to make some change as to improve the LP speed. Under your link, should I input any coupon code to get the bonus you mentionned? Thanks.
Hello. Yes, it should be more than enough to get started.
Check this article to read more about that.
What coupon are you talking about?
Hey, Servando.
Do you still recommend 50onred (RTX Platform) for Pop traffic or is the quality not good enough anymore?
In the case that you still do recommend it, what is the best way to get masivr volume from it?
Best 👍
the quality is similar. not the best, but not the worst. I've seen much worse and made them work.
I like doing RON campaigns at the beginning with them and analyze the data per country to see what's available to get more volume.
Hello Servando, please are Adworkmedia and CPAgrip good networks to work with or you will suggest I get them changed as a newbie.I want to start making good money even with a lean budget of $1000.
Adworkmedia is fine. They have some good apps and pin submits.
I don't have experience with CPA Grip but it didn't look like they had anything special in my point of view.

Hola Servando, como estas.
Me he suscrito a tu blog aun cuando ya lo sigo desde hace un tiempo y tengo algunas dudas que me gustaría me respondieras, si es posible.
En primer lugar, decirte que tu página es genial con una información increíble que de verdad ayuda bastante.
Bien, estoy en el marketing de afiliados hace unos cuantos años y consigo resultados, sin embargo, como las cosas cambian, me surgen algunas dudas.
Ahora estoy probando Bidvertiser, ya la probé años atrás y funcionaba más o menos. Mi pregunta es la siguiente, ¿realmente merece la pena invertir en esta publicidad?
Otra pregunta;
He visto el curso "CPA Media" y lo veo muy interesante. Me gustaría poder promocionarlo con ppc y otras fuentes de tráfico. Pero no veo que tengas programa de afiliados directo. ¿Como puedo promocionar dicho curso?
Muchas gracias de antemano.
Hola Francisco. Mucho gusto.
Bidvertiser hoy en día me parece de calidad y volumen bastante bajo. Hace unos años la usé pero hoy en día no me enfocaría en ella.
Sobre CPA Media. Solamente los alumnos del curso tienen la posibilidad de ser afiliados y promocionarlo con una comisión del 33%.
Saludos.
Hi Servando, congrats for this blog full of strategic contents.
Wich forum do you reccomend for adult affiliate marketing?
Looking forward to your reply.
Thanks
Mirko
StackThatMoney has some adult related content but i'm not sure there's one focused on that anymore.
Thank you Servando.
What about Affletes? Is a good choice?
Affletes is good and has some great topics inside, however it's still kind of new so not as active as other forums.
Thank you Servando! Just signed up for STM ;)
Nice Mirko!
See ya there.

I'll contact you or you can always answer any of the emails from my list.
Thank you, Servando.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Have a nice day!
Thanks for the rich information provided. Please how can a total newbie like me start and where can i get detailed and comprehensive knowledge on affiliate marketing. Pdf recommended by you would be fine, thanks in advance.
Forums are your best choice. No PDF can cover all about affiliate marketing.
Affiliatefix and Afflift are the forums I recommend for beginners.
Hi Servando,
what a wonderful blog you have here. Do you have a guide on how to start Affiliate marketing.
I need to know how affiliate marketing works.
thanks
Eniola
Yeah, you can read the start here page in the top bar :)
Hey Servando,
Thank you for taking the time out and making this blog happen.
I look forward taking in all your content to help me move forward in my business.
Kind Regards
Dan
PS
Do you have any newbie focuses content.
I have started out on Bing PPC and plan to get into the led gen space with Search and Social retargeting.
All the best.
I consider most of the things in this blog newbie friendly :)
I have never used Bing PPC so I can't help there.
Hola Servando,
Veo que en la lista no mencionas Adcash, la recomiendas?
He leído en varios blogs que esta red se encuentra entre las top 5 y me interesa registrarme con ellos pero apreciaría mucho tu opinión acerca de ella.
En caso que la recomiendes, tienes algún cupón de descuento?
Gracias.
Hola Claudia.
Adcash es buena. No sé si decir que entre las top 5, pero es una buena red con mucho volumen de pops.
No tengo cupones con ellos de momento pero pronto haremos una revisión de esa red y sus tipos de anuncios. Saludos!
Hi
How can I get Anstrex coupon code
Is it still available
The coupon code has expired recently a few weeks ago.
They won't have any more coupon codes for now it seems.
Hi SS please suggest me if we take voluum is it self hosted or do we take vultr also i have this confusion please suggest and one more things what is best tool for a newbie?
Hi Naresh.
Voluum is cloud-hosted so you don't need a VPS to host it. However, you still need a VPS to host your landing pages.
Hi SS what is best spy tool for a newbie to start with i have very limited budget?
For which traffic type? Any sources in particular?
Hi Servando,
I'm Leandro from Brazil and I'm looking for someone to create a partnership to bring some extremely high contents to Brazil. Do you like to talk about it? Let me know... Cheers
Extremely high content?
Sorry man but what does that have to do on this page?
You've got the wrong guy :p
Nice Blog .......
Hola Servando, vengo siguiendo tu blog de hace rato tiene buen contenido y he visto cosas que no conocia, pero me parece extraño que nunca hables de Maxbounty, siendo esta famosa por ser una de las mejores redes CPA, de hecho en las redes que nombras no está, hay algo negativo en esta red?
Hola Engel.
No tengo ningun comentario negativo de Maxbounty. Al contrario, se que es una red buena y mucha gente la recomienda aunque ya no tanto como antes. El tema de la fama suele ser por encuestas y publicaciones que suelen estar muy lejos de la realidad, eso si.
La unica razon por la cual no he hablado de ella es porque no se especializa en los verticales que yo trabajo, por lo cual no he trabajado casi con ellos. Pero si quieres trabajar con ellos, adelante. No creo que te arrepientas.
Saludos.
Hermano, soy Nuevo en esto nunca he hecho CPA antes y me gustaría tengo algo de dinero ahorrado para empezar pero lo único que he logrado es ser aprobado en Maxbounty pero si hay otra mejor en la cual pueda usar alguna guía tuya me dejas saber. Bendiciones... muy buen contenido aunque no esté aún familiarizado aún con el
Hola Alexander.
Pues puedes registrarte en las que ves en esta página para que tengas múltiples opciones iniciales. Maxbounty es buena pero no la veo tanto en las fuentes de tráfico que yo manejo.
Saludos.
Hi!
I'm from Affmy.com. Is it possible to get listed on your site?
I only list networks I've tested or recommended by a close friend :)
Hi S.S,
very informative content,
do you have any online courses that can help a beginner to start?
I don't but I recommend you check my resources page for more information.
Hi , I was wondering if there's a way that I can introduce our brand-new ad spy tool here.It's free and you can and you can find ads from every placement possible. It supports more than 7 social media platforms' ads.
Hi Alex. And which tool is that? :)
Saludos Servando, quiero a prender como monetizar mi página URL. Si voy a usar a propellerads como fuente de trafico y propush me ?
Hola servando, muchas gracias por toda esta información.
Solo tengo una duda antes de comenzar. que red de trafico es la que funciona o tiene buen trafico actualmente?
Es que tengo un curso el cual ya es algo antiguo, y en este enseñan a usar RTX Platform (principalmente) y Zero Park, que me podrías decir de estas dos empresas, aun son buena opción? quisiera inclinarme mas a RTX Platform ya que es lo que enseñan en el curso que tengo.
Ademas de eso me podrías dar una o 2 recomendaciones de empresas de trafico para un novato como yo que quiere empezar en esto? que estén funcionando hoy en julio 2022. y que tipo de trafico funciona, PPV, Push u otros.
Te agradecería mucho tu ayuda.
Hola Jesus.
Muchas redes funcionan y tienen buen tráfico. Es difícil responder la pregunta porque algunas sirven para ciertas campañas y otras no.
Entre esas 2, tal vez empezaría con RTX aunque ten en cuenta que el depósito mínimo es mayor y si no lo usas te cobran comisión en unos meses.
Todas las emrpesas que ves aquí están funcionando. Si no, nadie compraría su tráfico y ya hubieran quebrado, como varias lo han hecho en los últimos años.
Saludos! Si quieres una muy buena que tenga push y pop, empezaría con Propeller Ads.
En serio muchas gracias por tu respuesta, me ayudas mucho a dar el siguiente paso. Espero que en un futuro no muy lejano abras algún curso o mentorías, sin duda seria uno de los primeros en inscribirme para recibir tus enseñanzas.
Saludos, que tengas buen día.
Hola Servando, te vi en la masterclass y me gusta tu visión. Tengo un sitio web que me da unos 80 usd x mes. Pero tiene potencial para afiliados, productos digitales, videos de youtube.
Vi que Ezoic puede ser mejor que Adsense, y hace un tiempo me estan tratando de contactar de Ezoic porque mi web esta por los 40.000 clics al mes.
Será buena idea Ezoic?
Posiblemente Ezoic te pague más, con sus desventajas.
Checa mi revisión en Español en traficoavanzado.com
Hola, Servando,
La recomendación de Voluum está desactualizada, el plan de $62 ya no está en su web y la oferta mínima mensual es de $199 mes/individual. Quizás demasiado elevada para principiantes. ¿Qué opinión tienes de RedTrack? No se que sea mucho más barata pero algo es algo. Gracias.
Tienes razón. La voy a dar de baja. La verdad ahora no sé que recomendación dar. En afflift para principiantes lo que más usaban es Bemob, pero ahora la gente está probando Skro y otras, sin que haya un claro ganador para los que inician en esto.
Saludos!
