I bought a solo ad from Cal Champlin for 100 clicks at $25 or $0.25 a click.
Here’s my receipt:
I had Cal promote my Top Plugins for WordPress web site which gets an
overall conversion of 38% on the squeeze page.
Here are the results I got
210 unique clicks (more than 100% overdelivery) and with 97 subscribers
I got a 46% conversion rate
I highly recommend Cal for the overdelievery that I received, and he is affordable
for anyone starting out so you have NO EXCUSE you should buy a solo ad from him
Hey Man! Just wanted to give you a heads up I bought the $25 package and had a rocking result! over 90 optins and $117 in backend sales.
Not going to recycle the $117 and buy another from your list. Thanks
@Joshua awesome, what did you promote?
25 free wordpress tutorials (http://zamuraiblogger.com/wp) and an affiliate offer for Traffic Dashboard on the thank you page.
Worked out well and made a profit so can’t complain.
Used the profits to buy two more.
@Joshua awesome keep up the great work
Were would be a good place to learn copy for solo ads?
@Kelly hope this helps you http://www.soloaddirectory.com/blog/example-of-a-successful-solo-ad/

Hi,
I just used Cal’s solo ad…Best opt in numbers so far….I paid him $25 dollars for 100 clicks . He delivered more clicks and I got about 50 opt ins..(Sorry, No tracking system yet)
No sales were made as of yet… I am very thankful for this site for recommending him.
I am going to follow other recommendations as well with confidence.
Thanks again, Reed..
@Joo fantastic! Keep it up
Hey Reed,
I wanted to share my stats from a recent solo I got from Cal Champlin:
Take Care,

I will use Cal again, even though my numbers were not as good as I had expected. I think that instead of offering the “SEO Training” that I’ll promote a make money offer instead and see if it converts better for me.
Cal was great to work with and I would give him a try. You can’t beat the price!
@Brett $0.63 an optin is still pretty good 🙂
Agreed, If I’m under $1.00 per lead I feel right about the optins.
So good job on you Cal!
Regards
Bob Yeager
How do you track all this?
What software are u using?
Brett,
Have you tried simplifying your landing page? I just clicked on it, and there is a ton of verbiage that made me want to click away. Have you ever considered something a little cleaner? I think it may help your opt-in rates.
Jeff
I bought Cal’s solo too and believe me this guys traffic is awesome. Not only was I able to profit instantly by his solo but also through the followup.
I got almost 100% more than I ordered 🙂 Nice solo from him 🙂
I bought 200 clicks. He over delivered and i got 70 leads.
I would never never ever recommend this wanta be lead salesperson. I new as soon as I hit the paypal button and there was nothing that told me that it was good or not then I knew I was in trubble, The wores part was when I found out that his on the 5ipon web page and he wont even sent out for them.I sure his list was burned out on them but he should at least take his name off their list of provider of leads. I tried to contact him viea email several times with no return. I sent another ad to see if that would make a differants “nothing”. My advertising budget is small and everything needs to work. So I’m not happy with Cal….
Tim M
I guess you can’t please everyone.
But Tim got 262 Unique Clicks and 297 Raw Clicks
I sent him at least 4 emails and twice I sent him his results but he never responded.
here is the link to see his results (this was a 100 click solo)
First off, I have no affiliation with Cal & have not bought any solo ads from him, but I just had to make this observation from Tim’s comments:
“My advertising budget is small and everything needs to work.”
Really? I got news for ya Tim…everyone wants to get the most from each & every penny they spend on advertising & marketing, but that is a fantasy world. In the real world of marketing, some investments are simply going to pan out better than others no matter what level of analysis you put into the equation.
If you expect everything to work, then likely nothing will. Keep testing, tweaking, & refining your marketing systems until you have a repeatable system…It looks like you got much more than what you paid for from Cal, and that is really all you can ask for in my opinion.
I ordered the $25 package from Cal Champlin.
The target URL for the solo ad was:
http://TestiVar.com/?s=calchamplin
We received 77 leads so our cost per lead was less than $0.33.
We will probably repeat. After this first test, we are highly recommending Cal Champlin’s solo ad service. We’ll post results of future campaigns.
This was my first solo ad ever! Here are my results…
200 Clicks Package
Clicks: 259
Landing Page Conversion: 54%
Single Opt-Ins Added To List After Unsubs: 140
————————————————-
Cost Per Single Opt-In: $0.36
————————————————-
I am extremely pleased with the results, although I have nothing to compare them to. I surely was not expecting 140 subs upon purchasing 200 clicks.
I highly recommend Cal for solo ads.
Thanks Cal!
What kind of swipe file did you use?
Are these solo ads only for the IM niche or can they be used for other niches as well (specially education and consumer electronics)? Does Cal’s list support non-IM niches?
Hey Cal,
Is it possible just to promote a website?
Thanks
I’ll continue my analysis by means of experiencing your blog post.
Just ordered my first solo ad from Cal. Extremely excited to see the results. Will keep everyone posted.
Jake
A super awesome fantastic experience with Cal. Paid for 125 clicks and got 158 so far with 82 subs… (that’s about 52% conversion) and made my money back for the cost of the ad. I am testing a new lander and it’s only the second test I ran on my page so it’s not even close to being optimized for conversions yet.
Cal’s list is HOT and responsive!
Is this THE Mike Hill that is the super Tsunami guy? lol If so, I just want to send out a friendly hello and nice meeting you here. 😉 My name might ring a bell.
We dont know what factors to point out apart from we’ve loved studying your web site.
Will give Cal a try and report back here soon…
I have purchased $80 solo ad on June 29, 2012. I have written to him to give him the squeeze page and the download page. I have not heard from him.
I will wait for him
Thanks
I’d like to question my buddy to reach as well as read this fantastic post.
Better than I expected for my first ad campaign. Paid for 125 clicks got 71 subscribers.
He replied quickly to my email and said would send to list this coming Saturday. True to his word everything was done.
Will use again.
I placed an order with Cal for a solo ad which I received a confirmation on July 11, 2012, but have not got a respond as to when my solo is going out. Send 2 emails, but no reply. Is this normal?
I have 47% opt-in rate from Cal’s list. This is great. Thank you Cal.
Oh by the way, the reason you did not sent earlier was due to the email you posted on your sales page, but when I sent it through the payment slip, you received my solo ad which I received an immediate response from you.
Now i am delighted you enjoyed them too. Enjoy your site!
Hi everyone!
Just wanted to share my experience with Cal’s solos. I have bought 250 clicks from him last week and I got over 90 opt-ins. It was an amazing result!
If you are looking for a quality solo, Cal is your guy! I highly recommend him.
Thanks Cal I will definitely use your service again!
Houda
I can only say WOW! I bought 125 clicks campaign from Cal.
First of all, he was extremely helpful before he accepted my ad.
Then, I could not just believe my eyes: 176 clicks and 0.8 unique ratio, i.e. 140 unique clicks! And 63.07% CTR! That was like a rocket boost for my list!
[IMG]http://i46.tinypic.com/14dlswn.png[/IMG]
Raw Clicks: 202
Unique Clicks: 173
Subscribers: 79
Conversion: 45.66%
squeeze page: http://www.freevideosforlife.com
9 subscribers wasn’t recorded for some reason, so I am well over or around a 50% conversion in the end, all the clicks where sent within 24 hours, so I haven’t had time to see any sales, also there is still clicks coming in.
I bought the 125 clicks package.
Unfortunately I forgot to install some tracking but here are my results:
Raw Clicks: ?
Raw Subscribers: 117
Confirmed Subscribers: 55
Subscribers are still coming in. I can only say WOW.
I think this is a great result for my first solo ad.
Thanks Cal.
He has updated his prices. You may want to note that in your original article Reed.
I was blown away with my results from using Cal’s solo ad.
I purchased 125 clicks.
Received 222 clicks! wow
96 opt ins for 43%
42 cents per opt in!
Couldn’t be more happy and definitely recommend using Cal Champlin’s solo ads!
Thanks Cal!
I was looking forward to purchasing a solo ad from Mr. Champlin but I paid 3 days ago and sent an email as instructed, and I still haven’t heard back from him. I think I’m going to have to request a refund from Paypal.
Turned out to just be a miscommunication. My email went to his spam box. The ad is running now & I’ll let you know of the results once all the clicks have been sent!
Does anyone know where I can find solo ads for weight loss. That seems like a really hard one to locate these days.
I am so happy to let you know that I bought 125 clicks from Cal. I had about 170 click and 80 confirmed opt-ins.
Excellent results! Two thumbs up!
Hi Cal
Bought a solo from you yesterday. Dropped you an email, Skype you still waiting to hear from you. Please check your email.
Waiting for your reply
John
Hi Cal,
This is my second text to you on this page as I do not wish to leave a negative comment about your service here on this page for hearing from you for two days now after my order a day ago.
I’ve sent you emails countless times and this is getting frustrating for me.
If you know you won’t be able to deliver the clicks I ordered for or you are too busy to correspond or reply to your mail, Do let me know so that I can request for a full refund as I am not finding your silence funny at all in this matter.
So please check your email
John

I tried to reach him but haven’t heard anything yet..
I ordered 125 clicks from Cal and got 63 leads so far and more still coming in after 3 days.
Below is the free offer that he sent to his list.
http://passivenetincome.co.uk/free/software.html
This is my second solo ad from him and the results never seize to amaze me.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM anytime, anyday.
John
This $40 solo ad was sent out more than 12 hours ago and only gave me 3 leads. $13.33 per lead. Never again will I use a solo ad for building my email list.
Lou received 180 clicks (137 unique clicks). I had to send out a second mailing- because the swipe file that was sent to me did not perform well and I had to re-write it and send out again
Hello Cal:
I trying my best to keep this positive but how you treat people reflects who you really are. I have send you several emails with no regards from hearing back from you. Now i am requesting my “REFUND” back if you do not reach out to me immediately. What’s going on with my Solo ads i purchased from you. This is no way to conduct business especially after you take someone money. I am giving you 24 hours to respond back to me otherwise i’m contacting paypal and getting my money back. I am very disappointed in your service.
Total fucking fraud. Bought package and heard nothing back from him. Stay away from this provider!
Mr. Bratton bought an ad with an echeck payment that took 5 days to clear. When I reviewed his website I refunded his money on 2/1/13. I would suggest that Mr. Bratton be careful of his language he uses.
Please do not communicate with me via Reed’s Blog as I don’t read it on a regular basis.
Ms. Davis paid for an ad before she sent me the link for the product she wanted promoted. I rejected 2 websites and refunded her money the same day I rejected her second proposed site
Hello Cal,
How do I go about ordering a solo ad from you? I would like to do a $25 solo ad with you. Please contact me promptly.
Thank you and God bless
Benjamin
This is not my website. You can reach me via skype cal.champlin or at cpchamplin@gmail.com
does anyone have suggestions on a good landing page.
I got a great solo from Cal. Unfortunately, I messed up my tracking link – so I couldn’t track the clicks – but the ton of optins I got speak for themselves. I did send a couple of emails to Cal requesting my click stats, and also tried to connect with him on Skype, but surprisingly, he hasn’t gotten back to me on that one. But regardless, it was a great solo and I’m quite happy with my leads. Thanks a bunch, Cal.
Just recently bought 100 clicks from Cal and got 134 back and a whopping 89 opt-ins!!! I will DEFINATELY use his services again.
