Hey there. I'm new here at DP (been lurking for the last couple weeks). Anyways, I actually did one of the very first viral videos ever. I had it up on a page on my site for years without any ads or anything. 10-20 million downloads later (on my site and all the other sites pirating it) - and I'm realizing that I should probably try and make some revenue from it (a bit late, I know)... I've tried Revver for the last few months. They've been pretty good. I like the way they don't add anything to your video other than a still at the very end. I've had a phenomenal click-through rate (~3%) with them. But, it still works out to less than a penny a download. And, they only seem to register 1/3 as many downloads as my web server stats show (possibly because most people leave the page before the credits are over, and their ad/tracking thing never runs). Before I think of shooting any more videos, I was just wondering if there were any other places out there like Revver? Cheers, Bob
PS. Another quick question for you... The page I have the video on is a PR0 (despite the fact that I can get thousands of people a day visiting). The other pages on my site are PR3's (in the past I've never advertised or marketed my site at all) despite them getting only a tiny fraction of that traffic. The video isn't x-rated or anything (there's no nudity, no violence, and only one swear word), but it is about as dirty as you can get within those restrictions. Just wondering if you think the PR's 0 because of the content (there's a slightly naughty word in the title/URL/etc...) or just because I've got a lot of bad (adult) sites linking to it? Cheers, Bob
