Forum Solo ads Are these solos incentivized?

I have purchased solo ads from 6 different vendors for a total of about 1,000 clicks. I have been tracking each vendor with a special page and know exactly how many hits, sign ups and sales for each. Out of those 1,000 clicks, I have received 193 subscribers and I have grossed $97, but have spent over $500 so that is not a good return at all—actually it sucks! The reason it appears the lists are incentivized is because when I send an email to the people who opt-in, 97% never even open the email—yes I track that too. It just seems strange to me that the vendors selling solo ads can get people to click on a solo ad and get the person to take the time to sign up for something yet they are totally unresponsive when I send a follow up email. I see sellers saying they are adding 100 – 200 people to their list each day, but nobody ever shares what offer they are using to get people on their list. People don’t just subscribe to a list for the fun of it and they would not stay on a list if there was not something in it for them. I had really high hopes for UDIMI, but unfortunately these clicks are similar to the stuff I bought at the Warrior Forum and appear to be maybe one step up from a paid sign up and you know how bad paid signups are...

I appreciate all the comments and feedback on this post and while yes the issue could be with my capture page or offer, or time of day, day of the week or any of dozens of other things, the point I was trying to make is that subscribers took their time to sign up and review my service and many never

Ajay, Tracey, This is trial and error, some people jump in Gold the first time they promote something. Some takes months and years to find. How to find a offer that is working - Do Not follow your peers... Go on Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites and look what is trending.

Find companies that will let you be an affiliate. Easiest is Amazon and Clickbank. Do a small test, 100 to 200 clicks is all you need to see if an offer is working. Amazon shows you how well the product selling, Clickbank is deceiving - just because they have a great gravity does not mean they are making money. When you look at a CB offer you will see a small link called vender spotlight (hidden secret). Just click on the link and a window will open. You will see a very small square and if you lay your mouse over it and wait a second a graph will appear showing you growth of sales.. If it is going up you got a winner, going down, stay away. Hope my tip helps you become a winner. Vince

Thanks Vincent.Don't want to reinvent the wheel.I feel that solo providers should not take out ads on a Friday till Sunday morning,as no one reads.All are on a holiday mood.A few will check their mail,while having coffee/tea on a Sunday. A service provider must accept responsibility and mail to the best suited list for the offer.Being given the creative freedom,to modify the ad,must edit based on past experience on what got in a few sales and max opt ins.No excuses later ,as their are no runners up trophy in a war. List building is not the best option for all offers.At times you just want to test,get the max opt ins and a few sales.Maybe break even or be lucky to profit. You will notice there are no bad reviews out here,as I guess no one wants to hurt the reputation or business of a specialist solo ad provider.May they all thrive and do a good job. Think its time to put an end to this thread.Its good that both parties understand each other and work for better results. May Udimi, evolve to be the best. Cheers Ajay

I'll back him all the way it's the process!!! revolving door recycling etc of leads.. I do admit just because a lead opts in doesn't mean he reads anything and not necessarily cause of the lead quality etc as they just don't... in this game 1000 clicks you would hope to get 300 optins and then of th
