TrafficVance.com Review 2010

Ok.. so I am guessing I’m not alone if I am using trafficvance.com as my main source of ppv traffic. In fact, I know all to well now, after having spent a load of money with them over the past 2 years, many are invading the network and making things expensive.

Let’s take a look at a few things that are going on. As unfortunate as it is, when you find something that appears “too good to be true”, it can be one of 2 things.. 1) It just DOESN’T exist, or 2) It’s not going to last much longer, or at all.

Having been a very satisfied CPA and CPS marketer, promoting leadgen and cost per sale with the cpv network trafficvance, I have noticed a never ending increase in bid prices. Using many tools (both paid and free) to build massive related keyword lists, and url lists, overall target costs have climbed dramatically. Trafficvance isn’t known for it’s “friendly” customer service, in fact it’s main VP of operations is quite oftentimes, headed out of the office as I ask a question, or taking a call etc. Rarely if ever does he get back to me with issues, but that’s ok, as I have now discovered a way to not need his assistance. What all marketers need to be aware of on trafficvance as of me writing this article, is that prices WILL continue to climb for pretty much all targets that are of any value, and if you do not have deep pockets, you could well be getting in over your head. For example, I am well aware of several trafficvance account holders, who about a  year ago would only let campaigns that produced 200-300% ROI run. (Without pausing). Nowadays, if they can find campaigns that produce ROI’s as low as 20-30%, they will spend upwards of thousands (a day). What this does is keeps “new” account holders or ppv marketers out of their markets (and targets). So essentially, who is winning here? Well, you guessed it, trafficvance and to a smaller degree, aged account holders at trafficvance.

This has forced a change in how marketers are promoting their offers via trafficvance, and with these changes, only the strong survive. If you are a new marketer, looking to get into trafficvance.com today, you are in the right place. We are well on our way with many different strategies (and different networks) to help marketers get the most out of their cpv and ppv advertising dollar. Combine our ppv bot for easy automation, with our valuable membership forum, and you will be knocking down big obstacles much faster then figuring it out on your own

Direct CPV Demographics

In continuation of our post regarding PPV Networks demographics originally posted Here, we are including the latest stats for Direct CPV below:

GEO breakdown of DirectCPV based on 12 million users:

• Over 50% – US
• UK 6%
• AU 4%
• Germany 3%
• France 8%
• Brazil 5%
• Mexico 4%
• Japan 4%
• India, New Zealand, Spain, Italy, Philippines are anywhere from 1-3%.

Unfortunately, this is all we have been able to come up with for DirectCPV.  Direct CPV is similar to AdOn Network & Lead Impact in that they do not own their entire user base. They are a relatively new PPV Network and their user base is growing daily.  Below you will find keyword pass through variables for Direct CPV:

{{vurl}} : viewed URL
{{random}} : random number
{{keyword}} : SE keyword
{{category}} : category
{{sid}} : affiliateId-said
{{afsid}} : affiliateId
{{afssid}} : said
{{sm_vurl}} : target URL

We have used Direct CPV with mixed results to date.  Traffic is rather low compared to some of the other PPV traffic sources but new users are being added daily. Their user interface use to be quite cumbersome and slow but they have since redesigned it and it seems to be working much better.

When you have found that profitable campaign on one of the other PPV traffic networks, it is definately worth while to give Direct CPV a try.

Spain 300,000
Canada 325,000
Australia 150,000
New Zealand 50,000

This is the latest information in which we have for Lead Impact. Just like AdOn Network, they do not operate the same as Traffic Vance in that they do not own their full user base so knowing exactly where all of their users come from is an impossible task.

We have found Lead Impact to convert fairly well. Lead Impact does not currently have near the competition that Traffic Vance has so their ppv traffic is comparatively cheap.  From our experience, Lead Impact seems to have the 2nd most ppv traffic behind Traffic Vance.

Zango has had their problems in the past, but since Lead Impact has taken them over, we have found this to be among our top 2 ppv networks of choice

AdOn Network Demographics

In continuation of our post regarding PPV Network demographics originally poster Here, we are including the latest stats for AdOn Network below:

Shoppers- some of the traffic comes from shopping adware.

Mostly young kids
Males 17-36, on social media and gaming sites

Need quick and easy offers

This is as much as we could gather for AdOn Network. They do not operate the same as Traffic Vance in that they do not own their full user base so knowing exactly where all of their users come from is an impossible task.

We have found AdOn Network to convert fairly well considering the demographics. And with minimum bids starting at .005, the ppv traffic is very cheap.  Also keep in mind that AdOn Network delivers your ads via popunder, not popup, so the ad is in front the prospects eyes when they close their browser.

TrafficVance Goes International

TrafficVance has announced that as of midnight on February 12th, all members wishing to target International traffic will now need a separate International account.

The International account will be separate from US accounts and will require a $1,000 minimum deposit.

TrafficVance has announced that as of now their main focus will be the UK, CA, & AU.  Jonathan has informed me that their International user base is relatively small at this time.  This seems to be their main focus right now and International users are being added at twice the rate of US users.  It was recommended to me to wait approximately 6 months for them to build up the user base.

This will open up a whole new world of opportunity in the PPV Marketing arena.
