JuicyAds/PlugRush Earnings: Cash out or invest?

As a quick background, I run a large number of free porn blogs, mainly on tumblr and two self-hosted Wordpress sites.

They are generating about $35/day from mobile redirects and ad/plug clicks though JuicyAds and Plugrush.

My question is, should I just cash out or re-invest that into advertising? I just set up a paysite, but there is still limited content. I was thinking maybe a MaxBounty or CrakRevenue campaign would be profitable if I sent advertising traffic to it. I have accounts on both.

I haven't done much advertising previously, as I had nothing to make the CPC worth it. I did a few JuicyAds tests with a dating campaign from MaxBounty, but none of the traffic converted. I was looking though the CrakRevenue campaigns (just signed up today) and the EPC seems high enough that it would most likely turn a profit if I started buying ads.

Any advice for a noob? Thanks

have you tested the traffic to see what performs the best?

Not really. I'm a noob when it comes to advertising. Until recently I've just been cashing out but I've been reading some threads here and getting some ideas.

I've also only done small investments of under $3/week ads. The highest one I think was averaging about 130 clicks per day if I remember so that's probably not enough traffic to make any conclusions anyway.

That sounds like a good plan though. For the thumbnails, should I just pick an attractive amateur with big boobs? I'm thinking of using the Free Cams Exposed campaign which would seem to convert amateur/ex-gf traffic pretty well.

You will want to test various landing pages and traffic sources. Do split testing to see what works out and when (if) you can get it to give a positive ROI, turn up the volume of traffic you buy.

Clicked traffic usually performs best with blogs so the plug route is a good one.

Thanks for the info. I purchased a few small-scale ads on blog pages with JA to do some testing. I'll have to wait until Monday to test with PlugRush, but that sounds like the better option from what people have been saying.

You should start buying links with your preferred anchor text so as to build up your seo. Here, I have some.

Yes I am

As far as thumbs go, you should really use a lot of different thumbs, 10-12, to find some who gets a really good ctr. Disable those who don't after a brief test. Only then will you get the most value from your investment, and hopefully make a profit. With a good click through ratio, you can set a lower min bid per click, and still get a lot of traffic.

I jumped the gun before I read the reply and tested with the minimum amount (1000). It cost about $11. I already made $12.50 from it and it's only 60% thorough. Next monday I'm going to scale it up when the payouts go out and experiment with a few different thumbs.

How in the world can you create one blog a day?
How many post do you schedule up front? Do you write your own content?
I use around 20-30min for one blog post. This would allow me to make 5-10 posts a day maximum.

As far as tumblr goes, I focus on quantity over quality. That's usually a bad idea, but in this case it works. All I post are photos, so there is no content to write.

I schedule 300 posts up front, then keep the queue(s) full. The queue is just a list of pending posts and you can set it to post X amount per day. I usually set it to 40/day.

Oh, I didn't think about Tumblr. That is indeed easier than wordpress.
How do you monetize it?

You can add advertisements to tumblr, if you know how. Never tried it Myself, but if you get enough followers you can get re-blogs like mad which drive traffic to your site. If you have an Affiliate site AND your Affiliate is good with it, you can blog their images and have them point to your affiliate or use the affiliate URL directly in tumblr and drive traffic directly to the main site using your affiliate ID.

I usually reinvest all income into advertisement. In the very beginning it won't be easy to get good ROI, but after some experiments you'll get it.

Another way of doing this is to create and link to a pretty link.
