"oh well, it's the way it is".

I'm dazzled by the astounding levels of dynamism and proactivity. 

I wonder how much of the revenue from PG is spam. It's a powerful argument for there's nothing we can do about it, such a shame.

I'd like to discuss promoted gigs. This program is often criticized, but few people talk about the actual numbers.

Initially, I followed Fiverr's recommendations for the CPC cap by setting my bids at $2 or $3 (which was completely crazy!), but I quickly lowered my CPC cap. I remember setting it at $0.02 per click at one point. Today, I bid between $0.05 and $0.10 per click, with a maximum daily budget of $1.

Although I don't have a very positive opinion about this program, I must admit that my results seem rather good, but I have no idea what is considered good or bad in the market!

For every dollar spent, I earn about $100.

Have you analyzed your ROI? How much do you earn for every dollar spent, and what is your CPC cap? 

how do you not have a positive opinion with good results?

These are my results from last 10 days of last month March and I have set 20$ daily budget but this 20$ is not using everyday but may be your your spend goes to 20$ in 5 days or 6 days but t really depends. Do some research and try on different gigs for 2 or 3 days and you will see result and do some stats that what is conversion for every gig.

I suggest to turn on promoted gigs for 1 - 3 gigs at max.

I am level 2 seller and my gigs are starting from 100, 110 and 120$ as a flutter mobile app developer.

Well I used to to earn twice of what I spent, but since a couple of months ago all the earnings I have from the promoted gigs  goes to pay my promoted gigs bill, so I dont find them very useful now, why should I work to pay for promoting if Im not having earnings from them? 
and yes I raised my prices and Im a pro seller, even with that is not worth why should i spend 500 to earn 500 and pay a bill of 500 on promoted gigs  by the end of each month is almost like the site is abusing  this feature to take more money from me

Promoted gigs was great when I started using but for some time now the ROI has been bad. That's some good results. Imagine getting $4 for every dollar spent and then the commissions, that's my case.

Same here , Sir. And same timeline. Something has changed and we don´t have a clue.

Last August, i  canceled my promoted gig because the former month, all my earnings vanished between spam and the seller plus payment. (Yes, i earned that low).

When i cancelled promoted gig i wrote on the survey that i was sick of Spam and curious people. and that i don´t know why i have to pay for embarrassing clearly spam clicks, and that  i was almost loosing money, cause i had to work just to pay Fiverr extra services.

  Result? August was my worst month by far.

I activated again the promoted gig on September, and last week i had 3 orders.  Not big ones but at least they were "real".  But, again, almost half month, the profit will vanish paying the extra services.

I noticed a BIG change from May to June, for worse.

I honestly don´t know if something changed in the page but really, a minimal check on bot profiles, or an option for report spam, (different from report user) should be mandatory by now.

I know a refund won´t happen because this is a business, but at least, reporting the spam buyers will make them reduced.  Because some buyers are ridiculously obvious bots, that even click and write to you with your name wrong.

I have reported a few accounts like that, but never knew if Fiverr checked, banned, or even read. But i had to pay anyway. 

As far as we give Fiver their commisions, and play by the platform rules, shouldn,t we be protected a little?

I recently got an inquiry from a client via promoted gigs and it was entirely in French. First time for everything I guess. Their interest in my services was real however, so that's a plus.
