Give PPP time, let's see what they can do. Many organizations try to follow Google Adsense's successful business but they failed. At least, you come at the right time. Online advertising is growing and it will continue to grow. The only doubtful thing here is the domination of adsense (for medium and small websites). If online advertising companies are involved in tight competition, I think online advertising method will give many benefits for webmasters (probably better than affiliate programs, but let's see).
Ah, but it was a part of your sig as late as yesterday when I first visited this thread. I am a pay-per-play affiliate. Period. I got in on it on the chance that it might do something, but the idea of ads playing when I visit sites isn't even appealing to me. I hate MySpace for that reason and every time I visit there, I turn my sound off. Most people don't like being forced to watch or listen to advertising. Sure, you have the odd commercial that does well because there's a humorous twist or it's presented in some other interesting way, but for the most part no one likes being a captive audience. So what if your colleagues in advertising, marketing, or whatever think it's a great idea...they are advertisers and marketers. They like anything that shoves their propaganda. When an advertising idea is intrusive, it becomes a problem. When people become intrusive pushing an advertising idea, it IS a problem. Simple as that. My bottom line approach is that I'm an affiliate...if it explodes, I will make money. If it flops, I lost nothing. You're out there and you're fired up about it because you think you've gotten in on the ground floor of a new advertising idea. It's just not true. Let go of it, buddy.
I would have to agree with this. I don't think the pennies earned are worth the bad will it might generate with my customers.
Not knowing or understand what is happening with the program is not helping and its quite understandable to read negative comments, so just a few points to read, the program is in test mode its only 5days old with a share of adverts been sent out only within the last 2days.The program is not in full swing yet, when it is fully operational @th3st1ck knows exactly what he will earn, $3.50 per CPM and not per advert played. The Pay-Per-Play program is also not for every website, anyone with half a brain would know that. To keep the peace between DP members I did request a PPP section, however as the program is in its infancy, I'm been told, not enough talk about it yet, so I would ask my fellow DP members to ignore PPP threads if its something your not into or at least until such time as it becomes popular and you will just have to trust me when I say, it will become very popular within the next month from now. Myself I will not start any new threads about ppp but I will comment on ppp threads or other general marketing ideas etc... Hope you all understand I'm trying to be reasonable here, bickering between each other is of no benefit at all and its also lowering the standards of the DP forums. If your interested I have a very short explanation video on my signature link below, its just a brief rundown on the concept.
I will not advocate PPP here because I am myself an affiliate. However, I think that nobody mentioned that no clicks are needed and that means that the visitor is not leaving your site. Assumming he is not upset by the ad, it gives still a potential for an additional monetization. Definately an advantage ... again, assuming the visitor does not flee from the noise of the ad!
I will wait for a worthy PPP business to come along, the company has ripped off way to many people for my liking, and it's not new at all, it's actually over 6 months old - it's just changed hands and been re-modeled.
Hahaha, Perry you make this forum a laugh sometimes, well ..... for some of us. *Mumbles* *Hay Maker* *Upper Cut* *Flying Chop Kick to the Face* But on a serious note : That nearly convinced me .... so close .... mmmm what I would do for 10 cents !?
It would seem the recent estimates of $0.0035 per ad played are about right. I've got about 18 ads played for $.06 on the one site I'm testing at. Unfortunately, the site has received over 4,000 'hits' but only 18 ads have played. Hopefully the ads will start happening more frequently soon.
Well that'd be pretty good if all the impressions would play, that's at about $3 per 1000 impressions, would do OK on my proxies, shame they can't fill all the ad spaces yet.
Over the past 3 days, initial testing successfully delivered 500,000 paid ads which were randomly distributed over our network through websites that get more than 10 hits in 1 day. During the testing the only problems were commission reporting which was promptly corrected. A member actually pointed out another commission payment reporting issue that was also corrected. Apart from commission reporting bugs that were squashed, the delivery of the ads was completely flawless. On the latest re-run of the spider (the NetAudioAds spider) 51,000 porn sites were discovered and removed. Hate sites were also discovered as well as many sites that were spotted due to a “tightening†of the quality control algorithm. Larry Host of NetAudioAds reports that he anticipates that close to 1 million websites will be banned from running audio ads over the next 7 days. Some of you have probably seen some websites that used to be there have suddenly disappeared… here is your culprit. It is vital to the NetAudioAds upcoming BPA audit (on 2/22/2008) that they scrub porn, hate and crime type websites as well as websites that use questionable tactics to obtain traffic (bots, auto surfs, etc.). NetAudioAds will send the robot out one more time before ramping up. Due to the sheer size of our network (yours, mine and NetAudioAds) Larry anticipates that it can take up to 1 week for the robot to finish the crawl. The robot will be on a seek and destroy mission (as stated above) the mission is to get rid of sites that our advertisers DO NOT want under any circumstance. Be prepared for more of the same over the next 7 days. Just a trickle of ads will play while the robot goes to work cleaning up our network for the BPA audit that should (fingers crossed) give us all a pay raise. The pay raise will be possible because we can demand a higher price based on BPA verified numbers. There is no other online media source (that plays audio) ads that is 3rd party verified. This is a strong selling point for those of you that are selling advertising (or thinking about it). As stated above, after everything is said and done, after 1 week we will see up to 1 million websites go away. You should be happy about this because it gives our network more value to advertisers. More value = more money. We are working hard to make this a win – win for all parties involved. What’s Coming? After the robot crawl comes to a wrap, the floodgates on advertising will open up. Larry was not able to give me exact numbers yet but he anticipates the daily volume after the robot crawl could be as high as 2 million to as low as 500,000. The reason for this weird staggering is to further ensure system integrity as we move to “all systems goâ€. If NetAudioAds were to open full throttle and somehow miss a tiny bug then we would all have a disaster on our hands. Take pride in the fact that this company is being cautious. We are all vying for our share of millions and millions of dollars in ad revenue. You helped to build this and own a share of it now we must protect it at all costs. Here are some exciting stats… With current advertisers on board we have the ability to serve 7 – 10 million ads per day, 7 days a week. The NetAudioAds servers are clocking 9,000 hits per second triggered from audio ad code in our distribution network (very impressive) My next project is to develop an easy system to bring on advertisers. The advertising side of NetAudioAds is new to me. As we learn it then we can all brainstorm on ideas in the forum. This is a wide open and untapped market… I’m still waiting on my advertiser package. If you haven’t signed up to bring advertisers on to this network then you should strongly consider it. Yes it is in its infancy and we have to build it just like we built the distribution network. I don’t want anyone to misunderstand what I just said. Do not speculate that NetAudioAds doesn’t have a bunch of advertisers. This is far from the truth. As stated, NetAudioAds has the ability (at full throttle) to serve 7 – 10 million paid ads per day. In real US dollars this represents up to $200,000 per day being spent by advertisers and we will all be getting a chunk of that action as our reward for building this network. We actually did too good of a job because with the current size of the distribution network we have the ability to serve up to 9000 paid ads per second. That’s 3 quarters of 1 BILLION per day reach … WOW! For those of you that are new here it took us just over 3 months to do this. Many new advertisers will begin their campaigns when we are at full throttle. We have a large team of sales people that are already working the largest names in advertising. All of us have the same opportunity to earn massive income by lining up ads. What is the income potential if you line up a $1 million advertising contract? How does a nice $300k commission sound? What is surprising (well not really) … NetAudioAds is becoming the talk of the advertising town in a good way. It won’t be long before we are able to fill 750 million ad plays per day. Now is a good time to claim your share of the advertising pie or at least start thinking about it. That’s all I have for now … there won’t be much news over the next 7 days … robot crawling and bug squashing and trickles of ad plays and revenue.
I made $6 yesterday off of 1,700 plays... I can't wait for the full launch of ads so we will recieve more = more cash.
yes but marty - how many page impressions ? I have made $500 this month from 8000 clicks, with 136 000 page impressions, so will it compete with that ?
When the program gets into full swing your 136'000 impression will real in an additional 470+dollars, additional meaning the audio adverts don't need space on your website so theres noting stopping you running both. I can only assume your website will be suitable for this kind of advertising, having said that, you will get a feel for that pretty quickly if you see clicks dropping off. BTW thats pretty impressive 8000clicks thats around 17% ? very good mate, open another site and do exactly the same thing
Nah I am kinda making it look better than what it really is, it's about 6-7% ctr. But I have proxies that I may try it on later on when it gets more established.
