好久没来论坛了,今天分享一篇offer的流程,是业内大牛Malan在他的私人forum分享的,看过以后感觉他的测试方法很系统化,值得借鉴。我就懒得翻译了,悄悄搬运过来分享给大家,希望对新手朋友有所帮助,老手就可以略过了。 y. \2 O. W' i; B( v* h" [* [/ b ; m+ @!

Testing 3 campaigns at once saves you all that wasted time. So take 3 campaigns that are already live on the traffic source and we'll quickly see which campaign gets the best reaction.; J$ k) V, w/ V! s

You have to be brutal here. Don't worry about "maybes" or "what ifs" or you'll end up trying to run all 3 campaigns at once. The Auto Insurance campaign had the highest CTR and the best ROI. That's it. 8 Q/ {* Z. E( ?) i9 @ F+ L/ I* ~4 o2 u. m

Conversions will be helpful at this point, but aren't necessary. Even if you have zero conversions just go with the ads that got the best reactions., G& m9 h. E) v1 y) g0 h- o

P.S. If you want to continue testing and optimizing the "smile angle" you would take the best "smile" ad and make more versions like it. Let's say the "woman smiling" did the best.% N; D3 `) z2 \. N# x& D8 w

0 u' K4 l: Y4 t; V$ d1 U+ r& B4 b" f At this point you should have solid set of ads in one ad group. If you used a proven landing page you should be profitable or close to profitable. . b1 r3 K. |5 \ a3 n: P5 R8 ?# z9 F8 n0 g* A
Now you'll want to start scaling. You've kept the daily budget fairly conservative for the first few weeks to save money while you learn what works, now it's time to scale.0 f2 O: A' J `' G+ X( Z: T5 e, u, B
: q0 l- U( P8 ^6 P. A8 mRaise your daily budget 3x every 3 days. 7 e3 e8 }7 ^' X6 H. z! x9 A* J( [$ J' z5 j( k1 z5 p" O9 [, K
In this example you have an $18/day budget. If after 3 days you want more traffic, raise your budget to $54. 3 days later raise it to $162/day. Feel free to round up or down. - J( { c; `4 P6 a7 P0 n: ^! K5 n% _6 K1 u* U4 ^9 a/ u9 h
If your ROI dips after raising your budget, roll you budget back to where it was before. Then work again on your ads and landing page to get ROI up again, then raise your budget again when you're ready. ' V9 E4 J5 `" L! o6 Y& r4 l, U/ F4 `* j- J" x
This conservative budget scaling protects you from losing money. You don't want to raise your budget from $18/day to $18,000/day. That is a recipe for massive disaster. s) y/ U; S2 \; ?
& [" C8 F4 \: w9 ?Budget Sweet Spot: 6 x' \3 O- S- u# x1 S3 g( h * V8 \" O# x! J \+ WConservative budget scaling may also reveal to you a "sweet spot" daily budget. For example - let's say you raise your budget from $500/day to $1500 and it falls apart. In this case, your campaign may not be able to run at that high of a volume. Some campaigns just can't scale to $10k/day./ f3 F: ?& N; @, V
