I've heard a lot of things about PPV and traffic generation. What is PPV, and how does work? Can one make money using PPV? If yes, how? Thanks, people.
PPV (or CPV, same thing) is pay-per-view. It's a form of advertising similiar to Adwords, except you pay per view, not per click. Like anything else, when done right, you can get a lot of traffic. It's all about testing and tweaking. Definitely a method that you could lose money quick in if you don't know what you're doing.
for get money for this option you need lots of traffic 2000 views can make you 1$ if you have lots of traffic you can make some money
Does it not make more sense, then, to use PPC? Any guide on how to go about PPV. I need some serious traffic right now but I don't want to burn my fingers doing that. The tips are highly appreciated.
Its just that PPV is way cheaper then PPC... like $20 for 1000 displays. But it has to be your decision.
I think that PPV is a fake and panel game. Because this doesn't mean that user will even pay attention on your advertisment. PPC is more beneficial.
I've been doing PPV for around 18 months and it's by far my most profitable traffic source. Essentially, PPV allows you to pop adverts over other webpages (making them highly targeted) for people who have downloaded advert-sponsored toolbars. This is beneficial because you can target people very closely (i.e. pop a dating offer over www.match.com that's tied into it) and also because of it's low cost - you can get views for as little as 0.01 on most PPV networks which makes it very cheap and fast to test. Some of the major PPV networks (toolbar providers) are Trafficvance, Lead Impact, Media Traffic and Direct CPV. I would personally suggest starting out with Lead Impact as their minimum deposit is affordable at $200 and their traffic is very good quality. It's quite a different game to PPC but the great thing is that there a far fewer rules and restrictions compared to a traffic source like Google. PPV is all about finding good URLs for your offers that convert well - you need to find a bunch using a demographic tool like www.quantcast.com or www.alexa.com and then test them. They you can remove the non-performers that generate lots of clicks but no conversions. Eventually you should be left with great converting URLs and a profitable campaign which you can then scale up. If you want me information on PPV training that will put you ahead of the game you can see my signature. Hope that helps you.... let me know if you have any further questions.
If you have bucks to spend then go for ppc.PPV is a waste of time if you are a newbie if you know marketing very well then ppv can be one of the traffic sources. Personally I have used ppv to promote some my sites with great success. Keep in mind that how much you are spending is important. If your niche justifies your costs go for it if not stick with the seo strategies.
I wouldn't say that PPV is a waste of time at all if you're a newbie - in many ways it's actually a lot easier than PPC as you don't have to deal with Adword slaps etc. Like anything if you put the hard time and effort in you will get the reward and the ROI's on PPV can be out of this world.
Paid traffic can be great if you have the budget for it, but keep in mind you're probably not going to profit for awhile (assuming you don't get lucky). I think I spent about $250 before getting a profitable campaign on Facebook, but by that time, I blew through my budget (it was my first PPC attempt), and I had to go back to free methods. I'll definitely be going back sometime, hopefully soon.
You can make money with it, but it can be very risky. You pay a certain amount for every view your ad gets. So say every time your ad appears, you pay $0.02. This can be very dangerous if you don't keep track of how much you are spending. Honestly, I am not a huge fan of PPV.
