I'm using Tradedoubler UK and want to know what programs are available in the other european countries that Tradedoubler offer?
I think you have to have sites in the relevant language but I want to know what programs there are before translating....?
Any ideas? TIA
Ben.
You're right, it depends on the language and country you're targetting. I'm seeing lots of UK programs that I'd like to have in our neck of the woods :)
Ask them.
They won't accept you unless you have a UK address and bank account. Pretty ridiculous..I have a site that targets people in the UK, but because I don't live there tradedoubler won't accept me.
allow me to introduce myself, my name is Nick Roveta and I work with TradeDoublers publishers in the UK office. I will be here on a regular basis to field answers to questions or queries and to offer advice.
Notably in the past I have seen several threads in this forum on advertiser csv/xml feed availability, which I will address soon.
Just to answer a few of the queries raised on this thread:
We have over 600 advertisers accros Europe, 300 in the UK and have plenty of successful internationally based publishers working in these markets.
benflux. I can modify your account for all countries for you to browse through - afterwhich you can decide what markets you would be intersted in translating for. Please drop me an email (in profile).
The URL Ronin kindly provided is only a selection of our client list and we do not have a full client list as yet.
madmatt. Please drop me an email (in profile), TradeDoubler can pay internationally.
Thanks,
Nick
It will be nice to have you here to answer questions. I am glad you can pay internationally because I Like your suite of clients.
First of all you should be prepared for the following:
1) If an affiliate don't pay TD, you will not get paid
(We are owed by a hotel chain in Spain via TD)
2) If u run multiply domains (we run about 150 TLD's and generate around 12-15000 users per day) you will face the problem of that some clicks don't count. We believed that geo targetting would be enough - example we showed the France Telecom banner on our site but the click didn't counted because it was on a another domain. (our geo targetting software however approved the text and graphic link because the user was based within France)
3) U should be prepared to daily change your banners (so make sure you run a proper advertising scripts, that allow you to suspend any banner within seconds)
Some campaigns only went on for a few days before they were stopped)
4) You can't remove accounts in your TD interface.
5) We had one TD client that pulled our banner off after a 1% click rate ad offered us more commissions on sales
Some examples of Click rates we had:
* FameIndex 13,565 1 0.01% 0 0.00% 0 0.00% 0.00
(Our software showed 7 clicks so we removed it)
* BT Mobile 22,194 10 0.05% 0 0.00% 0 0.00% 0.00
* Global Star Registry 41,583 9 0.02% 0 0.00% 0 0.00% 0.36
(Our software showed 27 clicks so we removed them)
* Sol Melia 17,802 188 1.06% 0 0.00% 0 0.00% 24.45
(Unpaid and I doubt they will pay as they are known in the industry to go for freebies)
* T-Online Business 838 1 0.12% 0 0.00% 0 0.00% 0.04
(Our software shows a much higher click rate)
* Oleane 2,367 6 0.25% 0 0.00% 0 0.00% 1.03
(They suspended us after 6 clicks, our software shows 14 clicks)
So our numbers are:
Total 141,893 banner and text views by 291 clicks ar 0.21% 0 0.00% 1 0.34% 27.26
This was the worst revenues we got and we run a portal in 6 European languages, earning us around 4000 USD per month in commissions, adsense and amazon etc.
After we suspended the campaign with TD, we did received two inquires from a German and UK company that have large advertising budgets and that wanted to continue on our website as we showed their products more then 30,000 times in two days. We told them to buy KW's at Google or pay as cash in advance for 500,000 banner exposures but we will not again put a link on via tradedoubler to their website.
We tried 40 of those merchants at TD and only 3 performed ok with around 45 dollars in revenues but of those 40 dolalrs may not been given to me because TD may not be able to collect the funds from the company. I think TD has to fix that problem with collecting commissions or they should guarantee for it.
