Hello All, I'd like to get some feed back on a project I'm doing. I've gotten into the PTC industry and am planning to launch my site in the next little while. What I'd like to hear from you guys are your thoughts on this method of driving traffic to sites, if you've ever used this method, and your experiences/results. Finally....if you have not used this method or have but didn't like it, what changes would you like to see that would encourage you try this form of traffic. Thanks a lot, for your feedback.........
What...Has no one had any experience with PTC traffic? Sure could use some feedback. I will tell you a couple things I've implimented on my new site that will be launching soon. The traffic will be true live people visiting the websites. BUT...they will not just be landing on your home page then bouncing away. They will actually be viewing up to max. of 6 pages of the websites. Normally speaking though it would probably be a min. of 3 pages, and from 10-30 seconds per page. This would all be controlled by the advertiser. Also included in the control of the campaign is the ability to pause the campaign, and target the countries that the ad will be available for viewing. So with that said.....any comments would be greatly appreciated.
What exactly do you mean a form of cheating? What and who is being cheated, and out of what are they be cheated? Thanks for clarification.
That's an easy one... Ad Agencies always tell thier publishers (in Terms or in email) that it's against thier policy to persuade people (by paying them or by other means) to click on thier ads and paying people to click on ads is a direct persuasion. So a paid click is not an accurate visit by a customer to the Advertiser's offer. Therefore, the advertiser loses out. Understand?
So...tell me if I am wrong.... you are assuming that PTC sites are Ad agencies with said terms and polices. As far as I am aware, being called a PTC (Paid to Click) site is blatantly telling prospective advertisers exactly what they are getting. Visits from members of the PTC site community. In return for the visit the members are credited with a very small amount for just viewing the website content and the offers that website may be offering. So how is the person/advertiser losing out, they would be getting exactly what they paid for.
Basically yes... The big problem is people put out ads to sell a product or service and a PTC member takes away a potential sale... The term is "Sale Loss" So, PTC completly eliminates the purpose of adveretising your stuff. That's why most (nearly all) Publisher sites tell you not to do it and Yes, they will ban you for it if they catch you. Our network, listed on my signtaure, also does not allow PTC. It is disqualifying.
Ah....so you're saying publishers like yourself who put ads on websites would ban those websites if they were to advertise on PTC sites. No problem....thank goodness not all websites use your type of services. There's really not a whole lot of difference here in what you're offering and what PTC sites are offering. The biggest difference I suppose is you're sharing the advertisers money with website owners, who if you think about it don't care if whoever clicked one of your ads that was on their site if the person bought anything from the advertiser or not. Where as PTC site owners share their revenue with the members, who may or may not take advantage of the advertisers offers. Something to think about.
Sorry....it's not clear?....I'm just following up on what you said, prior to my last post. Correct me if I'm wrong in my understanding why you ban websites that are in your network, if they were to advertise their site on a PTC site.
I thought I made it clear... Paying people to click on ads takes away sales from the owners of the ads. By the way, why would you want to get paid to click on ads when you could build a high traffic site and get paid to simply display the ads? That's something to think about.
So basically you are just trying to protect your way of doing business....and I understand that. It's not a good idea to have PTC site members going to your affliate sites and clicking the ads you have there. Mind you I doubt that the members would click on the ads unless the ad really caught their eye and were interested. But like I said above....no one is losing anything, especially if the advertiser knows what he is buying ...a PTC ad from a PTC site, or a PPC ad provided by your type of business. I will not knock or put down your business, so I guess I'm a little bewildered as to why you've choosen to put a negative spin on what I am doing.
The best way to sell anyhting online is to have a list Build your members and you have a list You wont make much for your PTC until you get a sizeable member pool, then you can sell ads for a reasonable fee But the great thing about a PTC is that it gives you a list Write a regular newsletter and watch the results It's all about the list
I tried clixsense and another site total waste of time. It only pays less than 2 cents and I have better things and better paying ways to spend my time on.
Man... That sucks. Don't get me wrong guys, If you want to try PTC, then knock yourself out... I just don't think it'll be worth your time. However if you have a high-traffic site and are looking to get some serious money just for displaying ads, then check my signature, or click here: www.premiumcpm.com
Zaccaria, you have no idea what the PTC sites are for. Advertisers don't pay members to click on ads. They pay the owner to promote their site. The members are paid to visit the advertisers website. That's it. Learn something before talking about something you don't know anything about. richybear, your main advertisers will be other PTC owners and people advertising to get referrals on other PTC sites. To get members I would advertise on other PTC sites, try doing a banner exchange with another PTC owner.
Ok...Zaccaria.....I think you might be spamming my thread. One of the main purposes of PTC sites is to help new sites to get off the ground and generate traffic for the site and help create a ranking with the search engines. I never said it would make people a lot of money. You however are offering a completly different service for websites that are already established and have traffic. And sure why not advertise to the traffic, that's good business. So in an effort to bring this thread back to it's original topic I've quoted myself from the begining. So opinions on what I am attempting to do would be greatly appreciated.
