    We continue to share our affiliates’ cases with you to show you that it is possible to make a good profit with our network. Today we are going to tell you an unusual success story. Why unusual? There is no push-traffic, no Facebook. Our affiliate made money using… Google Ads!

    Want to know how? Let’s give him the word.


    CPA network: AdCombo

    Offer: Motion Free

    GEO: NL, BE

    Traffic Source: Google Ads

    Ad Spend: $3277

    Revenue: $7712

    Profit: $4435

    In the middle of July, I and my affiliate-mates have found a scheme for buying Google traffic and quick Google Ads accounts registration. So we, without a second thought, started testing different offers in Europe and Asia. One of the networks we tried was AdCombo.
    We’ve contacted a manager, found out what offer worth trying and started the testing. Some offers worked pretty well and one of them was Motion Free in NL, BE.

    For the most part, I tested ContextMedia and almost didn’t use Search Ads. It was the time when you could use text ads (without pictures) and easily pass the Google-bot moderation.

    Audience: men and women, 45+

    Devices: Mobile phones and tablets

    I made about 5 ad groups in one campaign, each with different keywords. So I used 2 keywords and 1-2 ads in each group.

    Some of the keywords I used: knee pain, osteochondrosis (or OCD), massage, etc.

    After a while, I’ve optimized my campaigns and have decreased the range of age, demography, and keywords. Then I have added a few ad places – some websites and apps have had very interesting results.
    In the end, I’ve come to the most profitable criteria of the target audience: men, 55+. By the way, I also left “Unknown” age – it had a good ROI as well.

    Speaking of ads – I used only text ones and tried to reduce the use of the forbidden words. Translate service has helped me to make a text-only version. And this is the main reason why Google didn’t ban my accounts right away.
    I had 4 accounts that have successfully passed the moderation and were able to run ads. Other accounts I made have been blocked by Google. So I decided not to complicate things and left it at that. My best account has spent more than $1100!

    Pay your attention to the budget. Even if your account gets blocked, the budget keeps increasing. It happens because of the automatic rules. I used them to raise my daily budget by 13% every day. I didn’t do it by myself – it may cause freezing my account. So I raised my daily budget and could buy more traffic – easy-breezy.
    In the end, AdCombo has increased the payout for me to $23.5 – a nice bonus, taking into account that the approval rate for this offer is 67%.

    So, what can I say?

    I didn’t make much effort – checked out my campaign in the morning just to edit something. The automation played a key role in my profit. I mean, raising the number of accounts and daily budget.
    Finding the cheapest target audience by age, geo, etc – that’s what brings a profit. If you just started buying the traffic, pay your attention to the criteria that may lower the cost per click. So the ad spend gets lower and you get more profit 😉

    Nice! But Google Ads disabled text ads , now we can just create responsive display ads 🙁

    can you please explain it’s direct linking or you create landing page for this ….

    • Fabz 12.12.18 at 6:23 pm

      If you have several accounts and credit cards you can direct link using adcombo’s prelanders. you will get banned after 2-3 days.
      To make accounts last past a week, you need to create a whitehat/safe website to send traffic to and you need to cloak.

    • Dasha 12.12.18 at 1:52 pm

      Hello! You can contact through the support form 🙂

  • Clax 08.12.18 at 12:54 pm

    A supplement for the information above. I recommend that the first ad created to be for another ‘white’ website. This extends the duration of your account activity. But anyway it will be suspended…

    • sandy 06.01.19 at 3:59 am

  • Huyen Nguyen 10.01.19 at 8:27 am

    could you instruct more detail about step by step ?

  • nauman 18.02.19 at 6:38 pm

    Do You target keywords in GEOs native language or english

    • Gaurav 04.08.20 at 9:02 pm

      Same question and how did you find the generic keywords

  • Muslim Zaidi 18.04.20 at 1:48 pm

    This is good but main things are missing like if he used a pre-lander from AdCombo or he used another safe website. He also didn’t mention whether he cloaked or not.
