Mobile vs. Desktop traffic

Mobile vs. Desktop traffic

Hello everyone,

We were writing a lot regarding choosing a right vertical, niche and product for promotion, but this time we have decided to dedicate one whole post to traffic share, in order to make your life easier when it comes to choosing the right traffic for promotion our Zetaniche offers: is it mobile or desktop?

 

 

Under desktop traffic are considered internet users who are sitting behind their desktop computers or laptops, while mobile users are using smartphones, feature phones or tablets. Tablets and Smartphones used to be treated as one in the past.

October of the 2016. was the first month ever where mobile usage passed desktop, according to internet monitoring, where the combined traffic from mobile and tablet devices reached 51.2% compared to desktop access which was 48.7%, marking this the first time ever since the beginning of the tracking stats for internet usage.

How are stats looking today?

Reports from SimilarWeb are showing that in the last month, September of 2017, from total of 264.0B online visitors worldwide, traffic share between desktop and mobile was: 33.77% for desktop and 66.23% for mobile.

 

It’s more than obvious that mobile is taking over the internet usage game, looking globally, but let’s look deeper into this, from the perspective of our network and promoting our offers through affiliation.

Since Zetaniche is always opened for both, direct site owners and affiliates who are working with other traffic channels, it is very important that we mention that affiliates who are owning a website need to optimize their site for all devices. Site needs to be mobile friendly, with regularly positioned ad spots, in order to take the most out of the promoting certain offers.

Researches are showing that visitors who are using smartphones to browse a website that’s not mobile friendly will on average:

  • spend less time exploring and browsing the site,
  • be less interested in performing actions such as making an order,
  • be more likely to return back to the search engine results and to visit another website.

And we don’t want any of these situations, right?

Zetaniche GEO’s and offers: desktop or mobile?

We were writing before about GEO’s Zetaniche is covering and here is the split between mobile and desktop internet usage for the September of 2017 in GEO’s Zetaniche is working with, according to the Stat Counter.

 

The majority of Zetaniche offers are optimized for mobile and desktop, or both. But of course, depending on traffic source offers are performing differently. For example our COD offers are performing great on desktop traffic and they are performing quite well on mobile pages too, but depending a lot more on mobile traffic source. For example, if affiliate is sending mobile traffic from Facebook to COD offers, they will convert great, but if affiliates who are working with paid traffic are sending mobile traffic from some of the mobile ad networks out there to COD offers, they have a chance to not perform that well.

What are advantages of working with mobile traffic?

Fist and the most obvious reason is that mobile usage is raising a lot compared to desktop and this trends is not showing any signs of slowing down especially in less developed countries.

 

Charts above are showing that among countries we are working with, the biggest internet usage over mobile devices is in Poland (65.18%), Albania (54.68%) and Montenegro (50.04%).

For the affiliates who are interested in focusing on less developed countries, mobile is definitely worth of trying. They will get more volumes and these GEO’s are easier to monetize.

Second reason is that affiliates can take advantage of offers that are not applying to desktop. For affiliates who are interested in mobile, we have mobile offers only such as PIN submits and mobile subscription offers.

What are advantages of working with desktop traffic?

When we are talking about the mobile traffic and mobile usage, mobile devices are generally used in more casual situations. People are using mobile devices for social media, chats, playing games, etc. And even if audience can be exposed for certain ads at that time, there is a possibility that they will not be so much interested into buying anything or filling the ordering form over small screen, just because they are not “in a mood for it” while doing casual things and chilling.

Of course that buying power over mobile exists, but in some cases desktop simply works better. It’s not rare that audience of certain sites see ads of product browsing over the mobile device, but they will not buy it or order it immediately, rather they will visit the site later over desktop or browse for some more information using their desktop device.

Also, one of the big things when it comes to desktop is age of desktop users.

First of all desktop devices are easier for usage for older people, especially considering small screens or keyboards of mobile devices.

For some of the products Zetaniche is offering for promotion, especially in male enhancement, health and beauty (anti age) niche, older people are known to be better audience.

Also, some people just don’t feel comfortable or find it easy to enter their personal data over mobile, but rather use desktop devices for ordering something.

From the GEO’s perspective, according to Stat Counter internet usage over desktop devices for GEO’s Zetaniche is operating, in September of 2017 was looking like this:

 

We see that top 5 GEO’s were Ukraine (83.10%), Czech Republic (78.66%), Belarus (76.35%), Estonia (76.08%), Latvia (75.99%) and Lithuania (74.86%). In all of these GEO’s we are having various offers that are having great potential for working on desktop traffic.

But what is the final choice?

  • If you are interested in promoting our offers that are more appropriate for younger audience, mobile could be better choice.
  • In case you are interested in promotion our only mobile related offers, mobile is your choice, of course.
  • In case you are interested in promoting Zetaniche offers that require older audience, start with desktop, but you can test other channels with mobile, too.
  • In case you are interested in our less developed countries, you should definitely try mobile.
  • But the most important here is, that you should start with both, desktop and mobile. Both of them are making money and focusing only on one platform is a big mistake!

Thank you for reading our blog post. Don’t hesitate to leave us a comment below sharing with us your thoughts regarding mobile and desktop platform.

Where are you experiencing better results?

Until next time,

Yours Zetaniche team.

Product overview: WhatsChat

Product overview: WhatsChat

Online dating is developed into a multi-million industry and it’s not showing signs of slowing down. By the latest researches, this industry is about to grow by around 6% by the end of this year compared to the previous one.

Online dating has been around for more than 20 years and meeting a partner online is not a new concept, but going into mobile and allowing audience multi-platform user experience is something that is definitely going in favor of promoting a digital dating offer. More and more people are changing their traditional social habits and looking online to find love or sex.

Let us present you star among our digital dating products – our premium SMS offer – WhatsChat!

What is WhatsChat?

When it comes to mobile affiliate space, one of the things Zetaniche regularly does is analyzing the market for our digital products. Zetaniche is always trying to keep an eye on the latest market changes, in order to find the best possible ways to make our digital offers work complied with current regulations, but making the highest possible income out of it.

Our premium SMS offer WhatsChat is especially sticking out among all the popular offers we are offering for promotion. WhatsChat is premium SMS offer that is working on SMS billing flow principle, which automatically means that we are not restricting our affiliates and publishers to promote WhatsChat through carrier connection only. With SMS billing flow, our affiliates are able to make conversions on wifi and desktop traffic, as well.

How does WhatsChat work?

WhatsChat is premium SMS offer, where subscription (conversion) is done either through clickable SMS – reply or pin submit. In both cases, user needs to use his mobile operator in order to confirm that he wants subscription and to be charged by his mobile operator for this action. Subscription amount is deducted from user’s balance or added to his mobile phone bill.

These are exact WhatsChat conversion flows:

  • Desktop conversion is pin submit. User sends SMS, gets pin, enters pin on page, if pin is proper, conversion is triggered.
  • Mobile conversion is click2sms, user gets clickable SMS composer, he clicks and after the message was sent, conversion is triggered.

Since conversion flows are via user’s mobile operator, user doesn’t need to use a credit card or other forms of payment which makes WhatsChat conversion process very easy and simple.

Where WhatsChat is available in?

At the moment WhatsChat is available in 17 countries: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, Croatia, Hungary, Lithuania, Latvia, Montenegro, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia and Slovakia, but there are more GEO’s yet to come.

We have been mentioning earlier importance and uniqueness of GEO’s Zetaniche is working with. Since dating niche is very competitive and over-populated for promoting, especially if you are new in affiliate marketing and you are maybe having concerns from where to start, possibility of promoting WhatsChat in low competitive GEO’s can help you to run this very competitive game.

Our low competitive GEO’s are giving affiliates who are working with various traffic sources possibility of working with cheaper traffic with relatively high payouts for mobile content and more possibilities for testing and optimization.

When it comes to direct site owners, since we are working in areas where audience haven’t been exposed to the variety of adult content ads, placing WhatsChat ads directly on your site will certainly be refreshment for your site audience, as something new and very easy to bring their attention to. This is why you won’t regret if you start promoting WhatsChat on your own local site.

What are the payouts?

Current WhatsChat pay-outs per GEO are:

 

Traffic sources, ad methods and landing pages

WhatsChat is working on desktop and mobile traffic both. Our premium SMS offer converts on all types of traffic, carrier and wifi. This means that user can be connected to a wifi over his laptop, tablet, or any other device and conversions will still be triggered, as long as he has mobile phone with him.

This is also very important from the perspective that we are offering our affiliates to monetize traffic that otherwise maybe would have been left unsold.

WhatsChat is adult related offer and our stats are showing that it is performing the best on adult and mature related content, no matter if you are working with various traffic sources, or you are willing to place WhatsChat ads on your own local adult site.

In case you are working with various traffic sources (adult ad networks, etc.), by testing our offer and collecting data, you will get the necessary knowledge where WhatsChat is performing the best and be able to easily optimize your campaign.

On the other hand, if you own adult related site, your advantage is that you already know your audience the best, how they are performing, how they respond on certain ads and what type of ads should be brought to their attention.

Mobile content offers are usually working on various ad methods, but when it comes to WhatsChat, at the moment we are offering promotion through banners and email, and it’s showing the best results.

*After you log into your Zetaniche account, choose and request WhatsChat offer, under the section “Do you want creatives for this offer” you can request creatives for WhatsChat.

When it comes to restrictions, we do not accept incent, push notification, SMS, Chat / IM traffic and there is no cashback.

To help our affiliates monetise their traffic and easier convert WhatsChat, we have built direct sales and pre-sell pages. We always suggest our affiliates to do the split test using direct and pre-sell pages, since as our stats are showing every day, we have seen them both working. Our landing pages are made in local languages for all GEO’s where WhatsChat is available for promotion.

Do we support SmartLink solution for WhatsChat?

Of course we do. Like with the rest of our offers, WhatsChat is not an exception, meaning that our affiliates can send non-targeted traffic for specific geo they have chosen for promotion. This means that they can send either desktop, tablet or mobile traffic and Zetaniche algorithm will detect device and display top performing presell pages for WhatsChat. We also have Smartlink solution where affiliates can send visitors to the best performing direct sales page in case they have more targeted visitors.

What are the advantages of promoting WhatsChat, premium SMS offer?

  • Easy conversion flow,
  • Possibility of monetising all traffic (both wifi and carrier),
  • Low competitive GEO’s and relatively high pay-outs,
  • Audience in GEO’s where WhatsChat is available for promotion haven’t been exposed to these kind of ads so much,
  • All landing pages are translated on local languages,
  • Usage of SmartLink solution.

This is pretty much it. We hope our WhatsChat product overview helped you in understanding huge potential you can experience with promoting our SMS premium offer in our low competitive GEO’s.

Not Zetaniche affiliate yet? Don’t worry – we are always open for new partnerships. JOIN our network today, request your premium SMS offer, select GEO where you want to promote WhatsChat and start earning some money!

Zetaniche Payment Methods

by Zetaniche 0 Comments

 

 

Very often we get questions about payment options we are offering, how frequently payouts are done, etc. Unfortunately, there are lot of affiliates out there that didn’t have a nice experience with receiving their earnings and they don’t want to burn themselves twice. As long as these are the risks you are taking by picking specific affiliate network, it is also the matter of payment service they are offering.  And this is definitely one of the measures for affiliates to make a decision if they will start work with any network . Obviously, they are already using specific services and are satisfied with the same ones and don’t want to switch to another service. Or maybe they have already tried some of them but didn’t have good experience, etc.   

Everyone has different experience with different payment methods and opinions are split as everyone prefer one option over the other due to certain reasons. And in this article we will provide you with brief details about payment options that Zetaniche is offering for our partners as well to point out on their advantages.  

Zetaniche is offering our partners to withdraw their earnings via ePayments and wire transfer.

Let see what each of these services has to offer and why it would be good choice for you:

Wire transfer

Let’s start from wire. Wire is meant from bank transfer and since this is the most popular way of money transfer, we decided to give it a tribute and open our payment method devoted blog post right with this payment option.

This is of course the most commonly payment method. But as any payment method it has it’s dark and bright side.

  • What is good about bank wire is that this is the easiest way to withdraw your money, but also keep in mind that transfer can take up to 7 business days.
  • The safest way of money transfer.
  • Fees might vary from country to country as well on different amounts. 
  • Also there can be a barrier with different banks if they don’t accept international transactions.

Moving forward, as there are many available e-wallet services now, and each of them have their own methods as well as pros and cons and ePayments were our choice.

Why? Let’s see… 

ePayments

ePayments is an e-wallet platform that was established in 2011 with headquarter in London with main purpose to facilitate payments for affiliate marketing industry. Now they have expanded their payment services to other industries including freelance marketplaces, affiliate programs, social networks.

  • Epayments present safe payment system that with very easy sign up process. Account opening is totally free of charge and so is account closure.
  • With ePayments you can choose between personal and business account
  • You are protected from fraud as ePayments offers modern fraud monitoring system.
  • Transfers between ePayments holders are free of charge.

Fees:

  • Yearly fee for ePayments MasterCard costs $35.00.
  • You are completely free of charge when receiving payments from another ePayments user. 
  • When ti comes to withdrawal fees, withdrawing money to your bank account, fee will be 0.8% (min $85, max $135). ATM withdrawal takes $2,60 per each transaction. Withdrawing funds to your bank card will take 2.9% (min $3.5). And as for withdrawing finds from ePayments to your or another WebMoney wallet, it will take fee of 2%.

 

Ok, let’s sum up:

 

Payment option Pros Cons
Bank Wire
  • The most popular payment method
  • Reliable
  • High security level
  • Higher fees
  • Transfer takes up to 7 business days 
ePayments
  • Very simple registration process
  • Free account opening
  • Internal payments, Bank wire transfers are free of charge
  • No payment limits
  •  Not as popular as other e-wallets

 

One important thing we need to emphasize – Zetaniche doesn’t charge any fees from our affiliates, meaning no money is deducted from your affiliate earnings. 

Well dear partners, we hope our payment option analyses help you to make a comparison and get a better picture of each method that we are offering here in Zetaniche.

How to start your first campaign with Zetaniche?

How to start your first campaign with Zetaniche?

 

 

Here is a text dedicated to all our new joined partners, but also visitors of Zetaniche website that are looking to explore different affiliation options and start their own affiliation journey.

Since our Blog section is quite new here in Zetaniche, we decided that one of our first blogs should be devoted to Zetaniche platform itself that, as a result, will make our affiliates journey more easier and help them understand how to start running their campaigns with us. 

Last time you have read a very cool article about our Zetaniche offers but also some tips of what you should take into consideration when choosing the right niche. Once you have chosen the right niche for yourself it is time to show you how to start your very first campaign with us.

In order start properly, let’s say few words about Affiliate Marketing:

Affiliate marketing is a way of online earning by promoting products for other companies. You as an affiliate will get a commission for the sales or lead that you will drive to their site. This promotion can be taken with standard banners, pop up/under pages, email promotion as well as other ad methods.

As any business you want to get into, affiliation is also not something that you can learn over the night, it requires time and research, but also commitment and risk to take until you come to the right road.

Probably one of the bright sides of affiliate marketing is that you don’t need to have your own product. You just need to link up a buyer with sellers product and earn commission from the sales you bring. When the sales is made and referred to you, you get the commission from it. What does this mean? You join Affiliate network and choose a product you want to promote, you will get your unique affiliate code with which you will refer traffic to target site and that will help a network to recognize the sales that came from your end. When user clicks on your link, that will lead him to an offer page, he makes the purchase or subscribe to an offer and your affiliate network will register it and count it in your earnings.

Although affiliate marketing has become a very popular way of earning, in some countries it still didn’t take that much of a space. We at Zetaniche wanted to devote our time to those countries and awake the awareness with people by bringing to their attention the benefits of affiliate marketing and show them how to take their space in this extensive online business field. And not to mention that this is something you can do on the side, from your home and therefore ensure some additional income for yourself.

It is a fact that there is a large competition in affiliate world, but the difference with Zetaniche is that we decided we will put all our focus on low competitive countries.

The reason is simple…

combining high performing offers with the countries where there is no much competition is a winning position for any affiliate.  

And this is exactly the reason why you should take your moment and start your affiliate experience right here with Zetaniche.

We are more than happy to welcome any newbie with serious intention to learn more and start promoting offers for Zetanche. In fact, we are glad if you will choose us to be part of your affiliate beginnings.
