Several months ago I wrote an article on how to make $200 per day with Viral websites. If you want to know how to add $300 per day more with Propellerads then this article is for you. When I wrote that article more than a year ago I didn’t expect it to go “viral”. A lot of people contacted me in 2015 to learn more about how everything works or simply because they’re putting some work and wanted some feedback on the results they’re achieving.
With over 600 comments it’s one of the top 5 articles on my blog and I know the reason behind it is the “simplicity” of the game.
But as many of you can see, creating a viral website isn’t that easy. In fact, from over 600 comments I have in that article maybe just a couple dozens of them are from people telling me that they started their viral website and made it work. Some of them make $50 per day, and some of them are making more than $500 per day. The rest is just people asking questions or commenting about how good it looks but they don’t have the money to do it, etc.
So first let me explain what this article is going to be about:
- I’m going to explain what you need in Facebook to go viral, WITH REAL NUMBERS, not the shitty articles that tell you go viral by creating something people love and that stuff that everybody knows but nobody knows how to put to use.
- I’m going to explain what you need in Adsense to make money as it’s not that easy. It’s a math game and all relies in the numbers
- I tried different methods and found that you can generate some extra income with popunder ads from networks like Propellerads using your viral website. This will be the final part of the post.
- I’m going to show you a few tests I made and the earnings with PropellerAds
That’s it. As always I’m going to try to keep it short, but you know I normally write 2,000 words per article so make sure you grab a cup of coffee before you continue reading.
Facebook Ads and going viral
OK so as mentioned, this is a numbers game and Facebook is the main traffic source to tackle if you want to go viral with clickbait news and stuff. I already mentioned how I do it basically in the former article, however a lot of people email me or comment asking for questions like:
- Is my CPC too high?
- Which countries should I target?
- What do you put in your interests when targeting people?
- I’m making money but I spend more than I earn with Adsense
Those are the main questions I think I’ve received in the last 6 months and I’m going to answer them all so you can understand the theory behind going viral on Facebook and making money.
This is the first part of the equation and your target here is to get as many visits as possible with a low budget. Remember we are using Facebook ads, so you need to invest money to make money and you’ve got to have some decent budget to test A LOT of campaigns.
Make your website go viral!
Learn how to master Facebook and other traffic sources to monetize viral websites and make a living from it.
What is a Facebook Ads campaign?
In this case, a campaign would be the news/article you’re promoting, but keep in mind the price of the visitors could change a lot if you change your headline and image to something more compelling.
So the first step is to have a blog and start posting some news in the form of viral articles as explained before. That should be clear by now. But how do you make it viral?
Well, as surprising as this might sound, most of your articles won’t go viral. AND THAT’S FINE. It’s something you have to accept because you’re not the best copy writer in the world and you might not be expert at marketing either.
The thing is you need to test a load of campaigns and news until you find the golden ones. Sometimes it takes you 10 articles to find a golden nugget. Sometimes it could take you 30 or 50 until you find one.
Again, don’t worry. It’s normal to fail a lot of campaigns until you find the best one and scale it. Not even the best marketers in the world can make every product or campaign go pro no matter how good they are. However, you need to consider that if you’re going to test a lot of articles and fire campaigns on Facebook Ads, you need a budget.
How much do I need to get started?
Something a lot of my readers told me is why do they need $1,500 per month to get stared?
They just have $100 bucks and they want to know why they won’t make it.
The truth is they COULD make it, but most probably they won’t. Here’s the math behind it.
Let’s say this is your first time doing viral websites and you’ve got a small idea of how everything works. You write 5 articles every single day of the week and every 20 articles on average you find a good one that goes viral.
5 articles per day becomes 35 per week and 150 per month.
You create a campaign on Facebook ads for each article and pump $5 bucks to test it before deciding if it’s good or not.
- That’s $5 x 150 = $750 USD in just a month.
Now, if you write more articles or if you decide to test with a higher budget or with different images/headlines you’ll need more money, so it could easily become $1k per month or even $2k per month just in tests.
If you have $100 bucks to get started you’ll try a few articles and before the week ends you’ll burn your money without any success and you’ll move to the next shinny thing you find in the warrior forum. But let’s say you get lucky and find a campaign with those $100 and from 10 campaigns you launch 1 of them goes viral.
Now you need money to scale the campaigns and make a lot of money, but you don’t have it and Google Adsense won’t pay you until the end of next month… By the time you receive the payment your campaign will be long dead and the initial momentum you gained will be lost in space.
Now that I’ve explained the basics behind the budget you need to enter this business let’s analyze how your campaigns can go viral by answering the most common questions mentioned above:
- Go broad and pick up a country. It doesn’t matter which country it is. Facebook has a ton of traffic from every part of the world so just pick up a country where you know the language and maybe the slang and things that are viral at this moment. You can use Google trends to do some research.
- You’re going to write viral articles that appeal broad audiences, so initially you don’t need to worry about the gender or the ages of people you’re targeting on Facebook. Later you can go back and check your Facebook reports to see what’s working better. Initially just gather data.
- You don’t need to target specific interests because you’re going broad. Don’t try targeting people who already liked other big viral websites or meme websites because they might have already seen the article you’ve written somewhere else or they are used to those kind of ads in their newsfeed.
Finally, let’s get technical and do the math so you can understand how to make more money than you’re spending.
Facebook Ads by the numbers
I’ll make it simple with an example:
Let’s say you’re running a campaign in France and your average Adsense CPC is worth $0.25.
Initially you start a Facebook campaign (Clicks to website should be your objective) and your average CPC is 0.05 with an average CTR on your banner of 1%.
What do you need to be profitable in this case? Do the math… I’ll wait…
OK so if you earn 25 cents from every click on your Adsense banners and every click from Facebook ads to your website costs 5 cents it means you need at least 1 click in your Adsense banners every 5 visitors just to break even. Right?
So if you need 1 click every 5 visitors it means you need an Adsense CTR of 20%.
Are you going to make money here? I don’t think so… Who gets a CTR of 20% when the average Adsense CTR is usually 1-2%? maybe 5%?
Now let’s image this example:
You’re running the same campaign in France and let’s say your average Adsense CPC is $0.3. You start a Facebook campaign and with a great image and headline you increase the CTR of your Facebook banner to 5%. This results into a CPC of $0.01 which is 5 times lower than it was before.
What kind of CTR would you need in your website to make money? I’ll help you with the math again.
If you get paid 30 cents per each click in your Adsense banners and you’re paying 1 cent per visitor from Facebook, then you need at least 1 click to your Adsense banner every 30 visits to break even. Anything higher than that and you’d be profitable!
1 click every 30 visitors means you need an Adsense CTR of 3.3%. Is that possible to achieve? for sure!
So, in conclusion, what you need to make money with viral traffic is to get your clicks from Facebook as cheap as possible and to increase your Adsense CTR as much as possible to earn more money per visitor. The second question is, how do I do that?
The key behind cheap FB clicks
What you need here is to split test a lot of images and headlines until you find the best ones. If you’re not sure how to tackle this go to your Facebook account and like all the Facebook Fan pages related to viral websites until you understand the style behind them.
I already mentioned that writing a lot of articles and launching campaigns is they key behind this business, but trust me, the same article can perform a lot better just by tweaking the headline and the image. One image could have a mediocre CTR (les than 2% CTR on Facebook Ads) while a good image could have a wonderful CTR (4% and above) and that will lower your CPC costs a lot. That’s simply the key behind Facebook ads and cheap clicks.
Bonus: You can also use retargeting and custom audiences once you start getting traffic in your website to launch campaigns that will perform a lot better (extra ROI) because you know those people already visited your website. Also, don’t forget to check the Facebook Ads report in your ad manager to see which genders and ages are clicking your ad more so you can create ads for them and lower the CPC.
The key behind a great Adsense CTR
You need to split test several themes and positions. Do the math and discover what kind of CTR do you need to be profitable as we did in the examples above and start testing like crazy until you find the best combination. You can split test themes (with WordPress this is quite easy), split test colors, positions of banners, colors of banners, banner sizes and more. Make sure you split test as much as you can until you find the best combination for your traffic.
Here’s a simple test that can increase your CTR by 1-2% just by making a small change:
Another good thing is to split test colors and mix them with the design of your website. Have a blue website with blue menu and links? test blue ads and blue links:
Once you start launching several campaigns and measuring all your statistics you’ll know how everything works and fell more comfortable spending money. You need to get out of your comfort zone and make it work. Otherwise you’ll never make it in this industry.
PropellerAds and viral traffic
Finally, let’s talk about adding some extra ROI to your earnings by using PropellerAds.
If this is the first time you’ve heard about PropellerAds, they are one of the largest networks and most of their ads are shown on a popunder (onclick ads, as they call them) format.
What is a popunder ad? Well, you know… the type of ad that pops in another window behind your original website. It looks something like this:
Yes, these are the same ads that most people hate and some of then assure pop under and pop up ads are dead but they can’t be more wrong. Pop Ads work wonderfully although I accept they’re very intrusive and sometimes I just hate to see them. But that doesn’t mean they don’t work.
Anyways, the real reason you’re here is because you want to know how to make extra money and see how I earned $300 extra per day, so here it goes.
First thing you need to do is to understand how to install and show PropellerAds in your website. I wrote a guide and a small review about them a few months ago, so make sure you check it out and come back when you’re done.
Back in September 2015 I started doing tests with a small viral website without Google Adsense just to see if I could earn any decent money with PropellerAds and my (already big) Facebook Fan pages. Here’s what I quickly achieved:
As you can see, I quickly noticed PropellerAds had some potential but the first I wanted to try it with a small website and decided to do the test just with my organic traffic from the Fan Pages I had grown in the past with my viral websites.
Some days I made $30 and some days the CPM (cost per thousand visits) was better so I made more than $70 per day with a CPM of $5.
My next step was to test the strategy with my biggest Fan Pages so I could make my $200 per day with Adsense plus whatever I could achieve as an extra with PropellerAds to increase my earnings and overall my ROI on my Facebook campaigns.
Here’s what I achieved back in September:
As you can see, I was earning pretty much the same with PropellerAds compared to Google Adsense, so I decided to contact my manager at PropellerAds and ask them if there was a problem if I used PropellerAds at the same time with Adsense.
My manager told me there was no problem and Google shouldn’t have problems either, however, they told me to be careful with Facebook because they don’t like pop ads when you’re running traffic through Facebook Ads.
WARNING, YOUR FACEBOOK ADS ACCOUNT COULD BE BANNED
If you don’t follow the steps below closely your FB ads account could be banned. There, I said it. So please read below to see my strategy before trying anything.
So I decided to check out Facebook Ads Terms and Conditions and yes, they don’t allow pop ups or pop unders on the destination of the ads. They don’t have problems with organic traffic (A.K.A. Fan Pages without Ads) though. So what I decided to do in order to use both Google Adsense and PropellerAds was to create an specific page with Adsense banners only for the articles that I promoted via Facebook Ads, and then clone the same article and put both Adsense and PropellerAds and use that specific link to promote it to my Fans without paying for Ads (organic traffic just by posting the links in my Fan Pages).
So in conclusion:
- While you’re searching for your golden nuggets to go viral using Facebook ads make sure you’re using the URL of your article with Google Adsense banners only
- For all of the articles that you promote to your fans organically (no Ads) use the URL where you have both Adsense and PropellerAds
What was the final result?
At the end of September and during October I was making $500 per day overall with my viral websites. Around $150-200 from PropellerAds and $300-350 from Google Adsense. Quite a nice bump in earnings just by adding a second ad network to the equation, isn’t it?
AGAIN, make sure you don’t use the URLs with PropellerAds when promoting via Facebook Ads or your account could be banned. DON’T SAY I DIDN’T WARN YOU!
Anyways, even if you don’t have an Adsense account, you can still make good money with Propeller Ads and viral traffic, the only bummer there would be that all your FB Ads would need to be focused on getting likes to your fan Page instead of website clicks and then you can promote your viral website with PropellerAds organically to your fans.
Since November 2015 I have been split testing a lot of PopUnder ad networks like the ones mentioned here and found a few ones that sometimes perform better than PropellerAds. But as always, you need to split test the networks because what works for me could not work for you as there are many factors to count in like country of the visitor, operating systems, devices, etc. One of the best ones I tried was Pop Ads but overall PropellerAds has been more solid for this kind of traffic.
Conclusions
There you have it.
That’s how I added $300 per day with PropellerAds and viral traffic and overall how you can make more than $500 per day just with viral websites.
As always, remember to put this to test and never forget to split test everything until you find the best combination for your website/traffic. Don’t quit if you launch 3 campaigns and fail. That’s pretty common but the ones that persist are the ones who dominate it and make it big.
Finally, if you want to read more posts like this where I explain everything with numbers and step by step please don’t forget to share this post and leave a comment below. If you’re already running viral websites, I’d love to hear your feedback and know what’s working for you.
Talk to you later this week!

Do I have to create articles for this? It is not easy and very time-consuming work for me.
Servando Silva says
Yes, you nee to create a lot of articles and find the winners. It requires hard work 🙂

Perfect article for me . Thanks a lot for sharing this awesome experience.
jojo ann says
thanks u for the gold informations !! but i have a problem .. i can t get high cpc in adsense , so no profit… even though i got 20% ctr on facebook ads, and 7% ctr on adsense.
1-i target usa traffic but the cpc 0.08 on adsense .
2- niche :cats ,
3- copy past articles
please any advices <3 <3
Servando Silva says
Your niche is probably the problem in this case.
Have you tried anything different?
Also, how are you optimizing your adsense locations and banner sizes?
Hector Salgado says
Hello, Servando. Your CPM in which Geos are based or which are the Countries that gave you a higher CPM?
Servando Silva says
Geos like UK, US, CA, AU have always good RPMs. Also many European countries like NO, DE, FR, etc.
Propeller actually sends a list with the hottest geos every month or so if yo u have an account with them.
Kusa says
I am interested in whether PropellerAds allows content that is inconsistent with Adsense rules, publishing such content can lead to a ban on Adsense, whether the same applies to PropellerAds? Also, Adsense takes care of invalid traffic and then they ban the account, whether it’s the situation with PropellerAds, can the account be banned?
Servando Silva says
They’re much less restrictive in that side. Make sure you read their guidelines but they basically don’t have adult sites and some other niches but the rest is fine.
Naman Modi says
Propeller Ads at the forefront as an AdSense alternative and provides various options to monetize your website. Try it out for a first-hand experience. One major setback for this service is lack of PayPal payment, but the company is working on providing the option soon. I hope that this PropellerAds reviews will help you make an informed decision on the best ads network that providing the best-earning model, ad unit, payment proof, and earnings report.

Servando Silva says
Your site is not propellerads. You need to apply with your news site/blog for both Adsense and Propeller.
I mentioned it’s better to let the organic traffic flow to your site with popunders and the paid traffic (straight from ads) only have Adsense.
Okii Eli says
Great..which country were you targeting and can other native ads be used like MGID
Waqar Ahmad says
Hello.
how to increase ecpm in Propeller ads ?

Hi, I’m Holykey1
Awesome article
Already subscribed by the way. I had to👌👌👌
I have a question
You talked about using Propeller ads with Adsense
It’s that safe?
It’s it safe to use Propeller ads together with Adsense?
Thanks, regards!
Servando Silva says
In the same website I don’t recommend it as Adsense can be very picky.
You can use 2 websites for this purpose.
Asad Meah says
Thanks.
Yazer says
Could you tell me how much the rates of CPM (average) if i will use the direct link of course the targeted visitor from US ?
Servando Silva says
It totally depends on where your visitors come from and the performance.
John Smith says
Nice share.
great idea for geting viral traffic Thank you for the article Silva.
Hrishi Dere says
Hello Sir
This is Hrishi Dere. A very interesting thing happen with me from propellerads on 30 May 2018. I got only one click from Australia (AU) which cpm was $1,146.60 and that one click bring me $1.15 revenue. How do I more traffic like this one?
The click was come from one of my old blogger blog where I have set popunder ads.
Thanking You
Regards
Hrishi Dere
Servando Silva says
That person who clicked interacted and probably got something form the ads so your performance was great. It’s difficult to get many clicks like that as it will only happen once every few hundreds of visits.
ilyas el jallab says
Thank you for the information which companies are paying you for your sex advertisements From which you get the money you do from clicks cpc
Or through offers cpa
Servando Silva says
We don’t advertise any adult content as obviously it would be against FB policies.
Lekan says
Nice share.
Thank you for the article Silva.
Hrishi Dere says
Hello Sir
This is Hrishi Dere. I recently get a DMCA notice which took down two of my post from google search engine. I also re study google adsence policy for DMCA notice as it get me a little worry for adsence banned. Well I am still playing safe for not using any copyright material (on website) but I do use my visitor redirect to my (blogger)blogs which contain some copyright materials. I need your suggestion on this to avoid getting banned.
How about I post links in text form which will make user copy and paste link to visit the blogs. Is this also against the policy if so I may have to remove them before I get banned.
Thanking You
Regards
Your Friend
Hrishi Dere
Servando Silva says
Why did you get the DMCA notices? Did you completely copied someone else’s post?
Don’t use copyright material, not even with blogger if you want to keep your account safe.
Hrishi Dere says
No I never used any copyright materials. Before blogger I was a YouTuber and very well know how irritating the copyright issue. I only write things which was viral at that time. Maybe my links was blacklisted by mistake in preventing copyright. I was having a option to counter file the DMCA notices but I dont want any more issue so I leave the topic to owners. And now I am taking care that I do not face one more DMCA.
Sian says
Some people said propeller ads use bot traffic.
Also propeller ads is scam
Is it true?
ibahim says
sir but people use adblock any tips or trick to profite maximum earning even they use adblock
Servando Silva says
If they use adblock you don’t want then in the first place. Adblockers cover around 10-20% of the population (geek, tech savvy and similar people) and there’s not much you can do about it.
Ad networks try to baypass it from time to time but there’s always going to be people blocking ads even on Facebook.
Anand says
nice we just have to apply this now
Sunil S Parit says
Hi, Sir, my name is Sunil Parit & I am having my own website But I don’t have traffic on my website. I use propeller & Adsense but no earning no traffic as you said facebook ad can I try this for traffic.
Servando Silva says
Yes. Facebook can be a great source of traffic if you earn the ropes.
enis says
Great article
Frankell Jonas Natera Basilio says
My question is: for a first ad to select a specific place, for a second ad I must choose the same place as the first one or can I choose another place?
mG says
well well well i guess i won’t be doing this anytime soon . i only have 177$ it’s not enough to start this business model .
Servando Silva says
Definitely not enough. Maybe get started with SEO or freelance for a while to build some capital.
Hrishi Dere says
Hello Sir
This is Hrishi Dere. Finally after 1 year 3 months and 24 days later Google Adsence approve my website. Now I can add and run their ads. I need your help to maintain this and to not get banned. Is there any new update related to this article of promoting website on Facebook with adsence ads. If there anything please reply it so I will promote it that way.
Regards
Hrishi Dere
Servando Silva says
Overall Adsense pays but it’s better to use the FB audience network for this strategy. Check this post.
kailah says
Hi i read the 2 posts carefully but i’m still having hard time to figure out one thing i want you to explain it for me please ! so what i understand is that we’re making money here by doing arbitrage driving traffic to our website and making profit with adsense for example if i bump 5 dollar to an article and i am earning 7 dollar from adsense it’s good all i need is to scale and do more testing ..but why are we also growing our fb page using fb like compaigns what’s the point if we’re going to target peopole who don’t alerady like our page .. i mean it dosen’t matter if we have 100 k or 1k in our page likes pepole won’t care they’re just going to click on the post shown in the ad to read the article if they’re intrested… having 100 k or 10 likes in our fb page dosen’t make a diffrence .. am i wrong ? please correct me if so
best regrads
Servando Silva says
It makes a difference because organic traffic will help you with:
1. pre testing your posts to see if they’re winners before you spend money on them
2. Organic traffic will always have higher CPM than paid traffic, specially with FB instant articles
3. You still build a huge audience that will make you money even if some days you don’t have any campaign winners
4. Initially it will help you create the best audiences based on engagement and website traffic although down the road you’ll create campaigns with lookalikes of people who are spending more views and time in your site.
Sheraz says
Sir servando silva, i know its off the topic but i regularly follow and believe in you that’s because i’m asking i really need your help i making a niche website about home needs. It is like ecommerce store but in the informational way for example:- when someone search on google “home table” he gets the result and no 1 is amazon….But i’m trying to write an article on every product and then promote this informational store!!! Is it possible? Because amazon don’t seo on every single product can i outrank amazon by writing article on the product with complete seo?
Please reply your reply really really matters to me thank you soo much
Servando Silva says
It’s super difficult to outrank Amazon. They have some of the greatest authorities in the online world.
Instead, you can try ranking something like “top 10 home tables for old houses” or “best home tables for modern apartments”, etc. Ranking the product alone with a bigger article doesn’t make sense as those people many times just want to buy so Google sends them straight to an ecommerce store.
Zulfqar Ali says
Can you please guide me how to earn with direct link in propellerads if not have website???
Servando Silva says
You just copy that direct link and paste it wherever you want people to direct traffic, like in your social media accounts, etc.
Honestly, it’s the worst way to make money as the performance is super bad but if you don’t have a website or a way to receive traffic that’s how it is.
Daved says
could u give me a list for website which provide a good traffic for website or blog i don’t ask for pure or best traffic for CPA or affiliate net….. i wanna make money from buy traffic to my website that make me money from (pop under) Ads so i think u can share some of your secret with us 🙂
Servando Silva says
The best for websites and blogs are Facebook Ads and google adwords. After that i’d consider native ads like Outbrain, Taboola and Revcontent.
Daved says
Silva, Could u tell me what is the best and cheap to buy a traffic or media traffic to my website which is has propeller ads please ?
Servando Silva says
There’s no best and cheap.
Either best and not cheao, or worst and cheap.
Daved says
OK man i agree with ya i’m gonna edit my request to another style could u give me a list for website which provide a good traffic for website or blog i don’t ask for pure or best traffic for CPA or affiliate net….. i wanna make money from buy traffic to my website that make me money from (pop under) Ads so i think u can share some of your secret with us 🙂
Duru Freeman says
This 2018 is gonna be great. *smiles* Glad google directed me to your blog.
Concerning create a viral blog that’s fine by me. Maybe 2/3 post daily. I already have a propeller ads account. My problem is creating a blog on WordPress.
Don’t have that much cash at hand I want to use blogger. Maybe blogspot domain or buy a custom domain. The template I”ll be use is gonna be the one live on my blogs trendsgadget.com or usebtcoin.blogspot. com please tel me which theme from this blog will work best for this viral blog method… Expecting your reply ASAP.
Servando Silva says
WordPress can be as cheap as $5 per month in many cases.
If you don’t have money for the hosting then you definitely not have money for the FB ads. I recommend having at least $2,000 for this strategy, but better if you invest $3000-5000.
Yasser says
Hello Servando Silva I have a website and have Propeller ads on it (pop-under) i have a question or you can considering as request do u know of course you have an experience in this do you know a good service or website provide a traffic i want to buy traffic to my website even i buy 1000 visitor from US by 4 bucks please replay to me ASAP.
Thank u
Servando Silva says
Hello Yasser.
You can buy traffic from propeller as an advertiser as well, but if you plan to do pure arbitrage between a traffic source and another it won’t work because propeller works on performance, so your CPM will be much lower at the end.
abubacker says
Still I have doubt, I have adsence account and earning $5 to $7 per day.Can i use propeller ads along with adsence? will it violate adsense terms and condition?pls reply
Servando Silva says
No, Adsense doesn’t like propeller or any other ad network so don’t mix them for your safety.
oussama says
Hi,
Thanks for this article.
I have a CTR of 25% uk, usa, canada, but the CPC never got under 4 cents.
Servando Silva says
Those are expensive countries. What happened now with new year’s eve? Most prices came down afte rend of year as holiday season is over and there are less ads in the market.
oussama says
Yes, I will try again with the sme adset.
Thanks.
Hrishi Dere says
Hello sir
Is there any way to automatically redirect ad blockers to a page made of only propellerads which will save both blogger revenue and google adsense ban.
Also I have reach 6200 likes on Facebook fan page so is it profitable to do Facebook ads now.
Regards
Hrishi Dere
Servando Silva says
Not sure how you can do that as I don’t use adblockers or care about people using ad blockers. But I know it’s possible because there are plugins for that.
As for your page, 6,200 is a good number to get started.
Hrishi Dere says
Hello Sir
Thank You for your reply. I am waiting for adsense approval. And I think I am now very close to it.
Meanwhile I am growing my social media traffic.
To study Facebook ads when I try to boost a post I am getting approximately 620 – 3600 reach and 5 – 26 clicks. All of this is for cost 1.58 USD. What should be my CPC bid?
Also is there any helpful eBook or video which will help me to learn how to use Facebook ads properly.Thanking You
Regards
Hrishi Dere.
Servando Silva says
Just bid automatically and use the website traffic objective.
Austin says
Hey Servando – enjoying reading your blog – thanks for the great content!
When you write articles, do you just curate viral articles and link to the originals, or write your own full articles based on other viral articles?
Servando Silva says
We write our own based on others. We don’t just copy or curate them.

Propeller ads is a SCAM. They blocked my account for no reason after generating thousands of impression and traffic for them. I’ve contacted their support and reset password didn’t work. Support reply that they are investigating the reason why I can’t login to my account for over 5days. After blocking my account, they are sending me a daily report statistics showing 0 all through while I used a paid advertising to promote their direct url that is still ongoing, they are cheating on statistics. I have proofs of my statistics. Don’t work for propellerads
Servando Silva says
Where did you get your traffic from?
We have been paid more than $30,000 from propeller without problems and we actually meet them 2 weeks ago in one of the biggest ad networks conference in Thailand so they’re a very serious and one of the largest networks.
bakalemwa says
can you help me please to start monetizing with them?
Servando Silva says
In which part do you need help? Read the review to learn how it works step by step.
Star says

Adsense t&c
Servando Silva says
Yeah, that’s why you either separate them in different domains or put the code in each page of your news site.

Hello Sir
In the FB promotion What is the minimum people reach to get at least 1K visit on website. What is the minimum budget per month to get 1K visits every day.
Regards
Hrishi Dere
Servando Silva says
There’s no way to know that. It depends on your CTR, your ad targeting, your country, devices, etc.
Nonton Streaming says
nice informasi propellerads bro.. thx
miky says
really nice article but i have some problems with it :
i made a viral website and start doing fb ads , i got .006$/click to website some times less for some European countries . it’s good but problem is adsense, CTR is really bad i don’t know why. it’s 0.2% or less although i put ads before and after next button which i divide articles into several parts plus google native into the content itself also sticky ad on the right (i know this one is forbidden ) .
i changed colors of ads and size but i can’t get higher cpc and so i’m losing . what can i do ??
Servando Silva says
Your Adsense CTR is the problem.
0.2% is way too low. I’d recommend you to try this strategy as well since you’re already getting cheap clicks.
miky says
i have read it but first i need to know why ctr is bad . is it the theme or what ?also i changed ads from asynchronous to synchronous ,i found that ads sometime disappear .i got today 1000 pageview and only 98 impressions and of course 0% ctr . i’d really appreciate help !
Chukwuemeka says
Sir, how many likes do I need on my facebook fan page to succeed in propeller ads, and which countries are best to get likes from?
What are the rules to abide with on my part to be approved by propeller ads?
Thanks.
Servando Silva says
It depends on your page, your engagement, country, etc. and also in whatever you consider to be successful in this. Some people would consider themselves successful by earning $10 a day and others would consider $100/day a failure.
As for the rules with propellers, they’re a relaxed network so it’s not as difficult to get accepted as with Adsense or others.
Hrishi Dere says
Hello Sir
What is the minimum traffic and post required to get accepted by google adsence.Does domain title affect the approval.
Regards
Hrishi Dere
Servando Silva says
There’s no traffic requirement. They check your domain topic (so as long as it follows their guidelines there’s no problem), your age and quantity of content.
Hrishi Dere says
Sir
The screenshot of cpm in this article are of one month duration or they are your lifetime cpm. My running month cpm is 0.54 but my lifetime cpm is 0.17 so whom I consider real.
Regards
Hrishi Dere
Servando Silva says
The CPMs shown here are on a daily basis. Not monthly or lifetime. that’s why you see different numbers for each day of the month.
yeebo says
hello bro, how do you go about adding Propeller Ads pop under to specific page, thier plugins allows adding it to all pages , which i don’t want
also, what should my adspend be on a specific fb ads , and what are the indications that ads is doing well
thanks in advance
Servando Silva says
There are plugins that allow you to put script on each page individually, so you don’t implement it in the whole page.
You can start with $5 per day on each news post and then go from there. If you see the ad is making money or at least breaking even then you know that’s the signal it has potential.
yeebo says
Thanks for the heads up & quick reply .
So should my objective on FB should be Page Likes or Clicks To Website ?
also
How can i be certain of the Particular Ads that making me Money since am having about 5 Ads Set for a Single News post ?
Finally any suggested plugins on embedding script on a page, as a simple google search wouldn’t feed me anything reasonable>
Thanks in Advance
Hrishi Dere says
Hello sir

Servando Silva says
Where is your traffic coming from?
Santoso says
How to up traffic my video blog
Servando Silva says
There are many ways to do this. Do you have an specific question?
Nadia Khan says
We have been rejected by Google for Adsense and now going to apply for propeller ads after reading your article.
Dimitrios says
Hello,
Very nice article! 😉
I want to start a viral website type of “9gag”. Should i apply same methods as you write above?
With a budget 100$ a month for advertise, do you believe i will be able to generate some income at least as a “part time job”?
Thank you very much for the valuable informations.
Servando Silva says
Sites like 9gag where there’s almost no text and it’s just fun are quite panelized for FB already. it will be super difficult.
Also, considering the minimum budget per month I recommend is $500 and better if you have $2,000 you’re not going to achieve much. $100 can be burn between the VPS, domains and a couple other tools.
Hrishi Dere says
Sir
I did send 597 traffic to propellerads in which 544 are from United states I receive 0.44 CPM and 0.26 Profit. I ask propellerads will I get good cpm rates if I send the same amount of traffic for the next 15 to 20 days they said yes you will get it after optimization. So what is optimization do you have any Idea about it?
And what do you think will my cpm rate will hike (for the given traffic) if I keep sending this traffic for next 15 to 20 days . Right now my Total CPM is 0.10 before traffic it was 0.09
Thanking you
Regards
Hrishi Dere.
Servando Silva says
Optimization menas after many days of sending a good amount of traffic they will decide which offers and ads are making more money so they show them to your audience and increase your CPM.
Initially you enter on a learning stage where the system shows many ads and learns which ones convert better.
I normally test each network for at least 5 days before deciding if the performance is good or not.
Frank says
Thank you!
In this article you talk about ( Facebook ads – PropellerAds – Adsense )
1- So you tell me if i have article with (PropellerAds – Adsense) i cant make facebook ads , right ? because Facebook hate ( PropellerAds ) !!!!
2- Can i use Facebook ads to article have ( native ads with Adsense ) ?
3- Last thing i want from you exactly tell us what Facebook ads love any ( articles of CATEGORIES ) that can make us save from —} BANNED {—
I love to make article about number 3 above
Wait your replay & Thank you again!
Servando Silva says
Hello.
1. As I mentioned, you can do ads to the adsense only pages and organic traffic to the ones with Propeller+Adsense.
2. Facebook also hates native ads nowadays. It looks like affiliates pushed it too much and now FB many times doesn’t approve a page with Native Ads unless the content is very good.
3. They love everything that doesn’t break the rules and terms of service. There’s no niche they love more than the others.
Hrishi Dere says
Sir
The time when you recieve CPM of $3.50+ what was the traffic geo and was the maximum traffic was from Tier 1 countries i.e.US,Canada,UK,Australia,New Zealand,Norway,Finland,UAE,Denmark,Ireland,Sweden,South Africa etc. OR it was from all over the world but unique?
Regrads
Hrishi Dere
Servando Silva says
It was from a mix between tier 1 and tier 2 countries.
I can’t remember the exact amount of traffic per geo on an specific day though.
Hrishi Dere says
Sir
Thank you for your reply. My second question is which will perform more better for Tier 1 traffic Onclickads or Direct placement ads/Direct link ads. Which ad type give more CPM rates.Thanking you .
Regards
Hrishi Dere
Servando Silva says
On clickads are always better than direct link ads on pretty much every country as the traffic has more engagement.
Recette says
Dude I love how you think, I WAS ALSO THIKING for this strategy but I don’t wanna see my visitor quiting my website due the popunder, What you think?
Servando Silva says
I don’t care about that. Honestly, if a visitor hates any type of ads (popunders, banners, interstitials or whatever) it’s their problem. Also, keep in mind this strategy is not to create a branded blog with great content. Viral articles and things like that are usually low quality but attract a lot of people who are curious, just like magazines in the stores attract more people than books.
yousaf says
can i see your viral website for motivation ?
send me the link at my email id
by the nice post thankss
Servando Silva says
Sorry but we don’t reveal our websites or niche sites to avoid competition to copy or steal the articles and SEO efforts from us.
wasam says
I would like to know if adsense doesnot allow propellar adds then why have you suggested that,secondly how to get articles for our website using a spinner wise option?
Servando Silva says
I mentioned you can use propeller ads in different (independent) pages and use Adsense in other pages. Or you can even go as far as having one domain for one and a second domain for another. There are several ways to tackle this problem.
Chandra prakash says
Hii there. Propeller Ads didn’t work for my website with Indian traffic. I got $0.05 for 1634 impressions and 118 clicks with a CPM rate of $0.03 which is quite low.
Servando Silva says
Did you just test with 1,600 impressions? How many days was this for?
Paras says
My site is not get much traffic. So Propeller Approve My site? How much time to get approval?
Servando Silva says
They don’t have specific traffic requirements. Their approval time on average is around 2-7 days.
rxbot says
Nice method, thanks for..
I still choose to get traffic from search engine until right now
Servando Silva says
Organic traffic is good to get started, so keep working on it.
Younous says
Hi thank you so much for your articles.
I have question about facebook ads, what i have to boost ? My facebook page? Or articles? And that’s legal with adsense to send traffic from facebook ads? Because my friend get banned from adsense.
Thank you
Servando Silva says
Both. First you need likes, and then you need to boost your best articles and see if they’re profitable.
The traffic is allowed. But check out this new strategy we’re using in 2017.
Sikandar says
It seems that Google Adsense prohibits POPUPS & POPUNDERS too. That’s why I totally eradicate Ad networks with popups and popunders to give way to my google adsense which is more profitable that other ad networks.
Servando Silva says
They do. More recently they hate any pop network even if you don’t have Adsense in it.
For this guide I’d recommend having separated pages/domains for this network, or better yet, use Facebook Instant Articles like explained in one of our latest articles.
DB says
Very compliacted.. works for u doesn’t mean will work for everyone else..
Servando Silva says
Of course. As pretty much everything in the online world. Otherwise everybody would be successful and rich.
Dean says
Hello Silva,

Nice sharing bro
Sarah eddine says
If the cpd of my campaign on facebook is 0.01 that means I need 10$ for an article to get 1000 visitor which will make me 3$ CPM on adsence and 1$ on revecontent and 1$ for pop ads,
So I, m loosing money here, can you help, thanks a lot
Servando Silva says
You need to get cheaper clicks, and make more money from Adsense (my CPM on Adsense was $10-15).
However i’d recommend you to read this article, as it works better nowadays.
Coelus says
Do I have to create articles for this? It is not easy and very time-consuming work for me.
Servando Silva says
Yes, you have.
It’s time consuming, but you can easily do 5 articles in 1 hour every day.
