Review #5: Dollarmines Business newsletter Solo Ad

Date: 20th of September, 2008

Review: Dollarmines Business newsletter Solo Ad

Service Name: Dollarmines Business newsletter Solo Ad

Subscriber Base: 350,000+

Web Site: www.DigitalProductSearch.com/mwa

Price: $199 (2 for the price of 1 solo ad purchased through "My Wizard Ads")

Tested: once only

Guaranty: N/A

Comments: I was being very opened minded when I decided to purchase the 2 for 1 solo ad in the Dollarmines newsletter. I used "My Wizard Ads" to make the purchase. They sent my first ad out and after some days had only received a dismal 33 unique clicks. That's less than 0.01% CTR (Click-Through-Rate) which is not good at all. Needless to say I was not very happy with the results. You see, I'm used to getting at least 0.30% CTR from solo ads to newsletters, even of
the worst quality however, less than 0.01% was just too low to imagine. I'm rating this product a 1 out of 10 for quality because of its low, low CTR percentage. On the other hand, I do give this product a 4 out of 10 for results since the ad did generate $40 in sales. Either way you look at it the clicks were very low. I give to the "Customer Service" a 10 because the support I received
from "My Wizard Ads" was excellent!

Tip: If you're going to try "My Wizard Ads", I recommend not using the solo ad in the Dollarmines
newsletter.

Conclusion: The ad copy I use has been tested over and over again, therefore I know it works well. It's produced at least 0.30% CTR from the best quality solo ads to the worst quality newsletters. I also use Ad Minder PRO www.DigitalProductSearch.com/am which is one of the internet's most reliable ad tracking services. Because of my experience with this type of ad and tracking I know the CTR should be higher. The worst case was to get at least 0.30% CTR, so I would say that anything else below that is unacceptable.
