The Goal: Test Niche Dating Offers
Peter Brooks is an affiliate marketer who promotes dating offers through paid ads. Previously, he promoted mainstream dating subscription offers on 7SearchPPC and was impressed with the quality of dating ad traffic and the professional support he received from our ad manager. So when he planned to run split tests on niche dating offers in the US and Canadian markets, he chose us again. This time, he wanted to run two dating ad campaigns back-to-back, each for 15 days, with identical settings, to see which offer he could scale to earn higher profit.
The Strategy Behind Peter’s Dating Ad Campaigns
The dating advertising strategy he implemented:
- He ran the Christian ad campaign from Aug 1 to 15, 2026, and the LGBTQ+ ad campaign from Aug 16 to 30, 2026, giving each campaign an equal number of days to perform.
- He set a $25 CPA goal to stay competitive in tier-1 regions and generate enough conversion data for the platform’s algorithm to optimize.
- He targeted the 18+ audience through his creatives and landing pages, and avoided appealing to minors.
- He created 3 banner ad creatives for each campaign in English and added creative elements, playful font styles, and emojis to attract his target audience.
- He ran dating campaigns across mobile and desktop traffic.
- He created prelanders to identify which ad angles and dating offers the audience is more interested in.
- He added macros like {city}, {state}, {country}, {source_id}, and {device} to track more precisely and avoid targeting lower-profit locations.
- His Christian ads emphasized faith and long-term connection, while his LGBTQ+ ads focused on companionship to target singles.
- He used RedTrack to evaluate dating campaign performance in depth.
How the Niche Dating Offers Performed
After 30 days, he compared his dating campaigns’ performance; he found that the Christian dating offer generated 116 conversions, while the LGBTQ+ dating offer generated 108 conversions. This clearly showed that the Christian dating offer performed well in the US and Canada.
Mobile traffic outperformed in the Christian dating campaign, while desktop traffic generated better results than mobile in the LGBTQ+ ad campaigns.
His overall investment was $5,389.20, and he generated $13,617.16 in total revenue and 2.53x combined ROAS from his dating offers ad campaigns. Based on the results, he chose to scale the Christian dating offers. While scaling, he:
- Reset his CPA Goal to $35.
- Asked our support team to blacklist the underperforming publisher inventory.
- Replicated ad angles and creatives that captured the most engagement.
- Allocated more budget for mobile traffic.
- Stopped running ads during low-converting hours.
How 7SearchPPC Helped …
7SearchPPC gave Peter exactly what he needed for his dating offers: high-intent traffic from tier-1 regions and the targeting control to go after the right audience. The built-in tracking and native postback integration made it easier for him to evaluate campaign performance.
Everything was transparent, and he stayed in control from start to finish. When he asked us to blacklist underperforming inventory during scaling, our support team acted quickly to avoid wasting budget. The traffic quality, control, transparency, and quick response made a significant difference in his overall results.
Mainstream advertising platforms, by contrast, restrict dating offers, take longer to approve, and charge higher bids, making it difficult for advertisers to launch their dating campaigns. On 7SearchPPC, he launched his dating campaigns and easily reached his target audience in tier-1 regions.
