Golden Goose Affiliate Network Review

In CIS countries they had a presence for over 15 years, However, they started operating globally in 2018. Since their inception, they have become key players in mobile offers and mobile traffic monetization. 

As they own all the affiliate offers, This allows affiliates to work with a network which is directly in control of everything and they are one of the few networks who even offer daily payouts to their publishers. 

Why I love them?

Honestly stickers… I love their stickers and always love to grab a few every time I visit an affiliate conference, And their stickers on all my laptops, Here is proof … Thumbs up to their branding team for creating amazing stickers:)

So let’s talk about how to launch your first campaign with Golden Goose Network.

For this quick campaign, I choose sweepstakes to offer for the Philippines. The reason I choose the Philippines was that it is one of those Asian countries where you can buy dirt cheap traffic and most of the traffic advertising networks at dirt-cheap rates.

Traffic Source : 

For this test, I chose one of my goto sources for push traffic sources. Push Ground advertising network as they offer instant approvals and overall their traffic quality is good too. 

In the First step, you will have to create a campaign, give it a name and add your tracking URL and choose your offer category. Also, make sure you have set up conversion tracking pixel for traffic source as well so that you can monitor conversions on your advertising networks and take advantage of Push Ground optimization options.

Targeting options for sweepstakes offers
Targeting options

You may have noticed in targeting options I only choose android devices, In my opinion, world besides North America and Europe is dominated by android devices and targeting IOS at times is just waste of time as there is not much volume.

In next steps for frequency capping the best option is to start with 1:24h. And for whitelists and blacklists, you can ask your account managers to help you with the black/whitelists to help you get started. For user freshness settings, all the options below 14-21 days are a good option.
in bidding options, top bid options for Philippines was 0.008 ( Direct cheap traffic 😉)..

Results

Campaign  Campaign ID Clicks Conversions CTR CPC CPA Spent
GG_PG TEST 220869 5017 13 0.647758 0.000903 3.09 40.136
Sweep stake offer results
Open In New tab to see image clearly

As you can see offer payout is $1.60, And I spent $40.136 to get 13
conversions at $3.09 CPA $3.09. so we are still 19.336 in red. however, we must also consider that this offer campaign is not optimized yet, Whitelist/Blacklist data needs to be collected still Also there is room for improvement with the creatives and images as well. So factoring all these things, I believe this campaign can be an easy winner with a little more work on it and can be easily optimized and scaled.

Conclusion

Overall I like the fact that Golden Goose has a variety of offers and the best thing about them is that they allow you access to the offers which are not available on other networks, This is a great network for you if you are looking for offers in regions where competition is not as high as tier 1 geo’s and I guess that’s the best thing I like about golden Goose network.
