CPV Networks Cheaper Source Of Traffic?
- Comments Off
So, what are my strategies of getting traffic in my CPA campaigns? It can be article marketing or bum-marketing but it takes time before traffic comes in and it could mean a real offer could end by the time the traffic starts rolling in. Of course, you could go by PPC route but as a starter, it could be disastrous as well as it not cheap to buy traffic from PPC. So are there any alternatives to PPC? Yes, it CPV or PPV. “Cost-per-view” or “Pay-per-view” are getting popular these days and you can get a reasonable amount of traffic and pay way cheaper than PPC. The usage of PPV is way much easier than PPC. No more worries on Quality Score and also no hectic keyword research required. It is relatively easy to use and you could setup your campaigns really quick too. So, to make it easy, here’s another video again. Some may not like the idea of such advertising cos it is similar to ad-ware but it’s up for you to decided to consider if it is worthwhile to take a shot at CPV/PPV.
Clickbooth Sucks! Devin Archer Sucks Too!
Yesterday, I posted about my application to Clickbooth and said something about waiting on AIM and getting no replies? Guess what, Devin Archer and Clickbooth put me on the “ignore” feature in AIM and that’s why I was waiting for
hours! There was also no reply in the email and no one was picking up calls.
Upon suspicion, I applied for a new AIM userid and guess what? They replied to me right away without knowing who I am since I got a new userid. I was pissed and ask Devin on why application was denied and if he could review it. He simply said : “Re-apply in 6 months“. THAT’S IT??? All those waiting and all I get is this simple answer that they had trouble telling me by sending a simple mail or even on AIM? This is not right. If Clickbooth handles new applicants that way, I wonder how they treat their affiliates if there are problems?
Naturally, I got fed-up and ran a search “Clickbooth sucks” in Google and the results were stunning. Looks like I’m not the only guy who got pissed off. Devin Archer has got no social skills at all and this douche bag is the Clickbooth Approval Department. Try googling it and see what people in Digital Forum and Wickedfire.com are saying about Clickbooth. Looks like this company has got some serious problems to sort out. People don’t just rant for no reason. Although there are no apparent evidence, there are some posts in Digital Forum saying that Clickbooth have not paid some publishers. Yikes! I’m in no position to comment on that but as far as how it handles the customer service, it SUCKS!
Rating : A crate of rotten tomatoes!
Clickbooth Reviewed
Clickbooth is another great network to be in. My CPA friends have been singing praises for it and encouraged me to bring my PPC and other expertise in their CPA network. But guess what happens again? I got rejected without a good reason. Again, I tried calling but no one was picking up the phone and I also AIM at Devin Archer and sitting here for hours waiting for a reply and my back is killing me. Having spent all day planning on landing pages and campaign selection, keywords planning, adspends budgeting… etc etc.
Here’s what I got from Clickbooth,
“I regret to inform you that we have denied your publisher application to
participate in the ClickBooth Network.
We typically deny applications because we do not feel your site
complements our offers. According to our program Terms & Conditions, we
reserve the right to deny participation for any reason. If you believe you
have been wrongfully denied participation, you are encouraged to write
back with your explanation.”
So, I went to AIM Devin and tried to explain my marketing techniques but no replies. Anyways, the networks need to know that we do not use 1 site for running campaigns. If it is an interesting offer, we must create another site or marketing campaign, be it PPC to CPA,article marketing, email marketing, blog marketing, social sites marketing… etc etc, just to cater to that niche. Reference to this site doesn’t seem to complement the network’s offer is natural. It is only an affiliate marketing blog! Or must I slap all sorts of Acai Berry ads plus a few teeth whitening promos and wrap it up with another AdultFriendFinder banner to get approved???
Anyways, waiting for their replies and I have called, emailed and AIM as well. Let see how many stars or tomatoes they are getting from me. Will keep you guys updated!
