So, here we go.
TrafficVance as far as PPV traffic is concerned, is the "shit", which means they rock.
Not that I have much to compare it against, but I have been using MediaTraffic as well. MediaTraffic is supposed to have 15 million viewers across many different niches, but in my experience I just don't see it. Maybe I'm using it wrong, but I only get a trickle of traffic, compared to TrafficVance. (If you are proficient in MediaTraffic then let me know and maybe we can swap techniques between the two networks).
I get far more traffic from TrafficVance no matter what niche I go after. However, to even get a TrafficVance account these days you have to get a personal invitation from a current member, and you have to deposit $1000, and send in a photocopy of your drivers license to activate the account. I got in when the deposit was still set at $500.
Good for all of those people who are already a member, as it ensures the integrity of the traffic, but not so good for those who want to get their feet wet with TV.
Anyway, if you have the money and want to test PPV out, then TrafficVance is the best in my experience. Just because, they activate campaigns very fast, and you have more control over the management of your keywords and URLS. MediaTraffic activates new campaigns at the end of the day, but TV seems to activate them within an hour or two from conception.
Now, PPV traffic is one thing. Being profitable in PPV is another. It is in no way similar to PPC, because essentially you are paying for every view. It may only cost you $0.01 per view, but the conversions rates can be a little lower given the nature of PPV. Having said that, if you get it right you can definitely see some good profits. One day I made $90 with an ad spend of just $0.93. Try doing that is PPC.
This is my first crack at PPV and so far, after all of the testing I have done, I am glad to say that I have made a decent profit. But, it could have easily gone the other way, and I could be sitting here telling you that I just wasted a $1000.
There are a few tips and tricks that you need to know before getting into PPV. I will post about them when I get a chance. But one of the biggest tips is to track each and every keyword or URL.
In the meantime, feel free to post a comment if you have specific questions relating to PPV or TrafficVance.
