If your conversion rate is low, even cheap clicks won't help much.

I compare traffic sources based on ROI instead of CPC. That gives a much clearer picture.

Try excluding low-performing placements if the platform allows it. That improved my results a lot.

I spent weeks chasing cheap clicks before realizing my offer needed improvement.

There's definitely a balance between price and quality, but you'll only find it by testing different networks.

What niche are you in? People might be able to recommend better traffic sources if they know what you're promoting.

I've stopped chasing the lowest CPC because it usually backfires. Instead, I look at cost per conversion. I've had campaigns with higher CPCs that made far more profit than the cheap traffic sources I tested. Sometimes paying a little more for better visitors is worth it.

I had the same experience with a few low-cost ad networks. The clicks looked great on paper, but the bounce rate was terrible and hardly anyone converted. Since then, I only test new platforms with a small budget before putting in any serious money.
