The sign says "Nowhere".
I joined mediatraffic a few months ago but didn't do much after my initial try. I had 20 or sites in my campaign and the traffic was low. I was concentrating more adwords and yahoo, so i never looked back into PPV and stooped my campaign.

Recently I read a thread that to drive traffic via PPV network, you need to have 1000s of sites in your campaign. Few dozen simply won't give you traffic.

Now I'm thinking how do I compile a list of sites in my niche. Is quantcast.com the best way to get a list of 1000 of related sites in your niche? Are there any other tools? Would appreciate any suggestions.

1) Quantcast Media Planner

I'll let you figure out how to get the information you want out of them :) I will say with a little bit of creativity, these 2 can be very useful.

There's URL scraping utilities that generates batch lists of URL's for different search engines.

Google search button is your friend.

I didn't even know about google ad planner. I don't know anything about media buys. This is a good start. Thanks for those links. I'm playing around with Google ad planner right now.

So, for PPV, does it make sense to have 1000+ sites in one campaign? More sites = more traffic? Should I not use keywords at all?
 
Also target all of the (quality) organic urls for your given keywords across the big three.

Laser targeting is still the name o' teh game, so don't get stupid.
 
Is Traffic Vance the best PPV network, as far as conversions?
Their traffic is good, and the 1k min deposit keeps a lot of the "new" guys out. But, of course, it depends on what you want to run and how you're gonna run it.

On a side note, Mediatraffic sucked big time for me. Zango was good, but I heard all of this shit about them stealing your data and whatnot.
 
Definitely. Thanks for the tip.

As for PPV, you should be targeting sites or keywords or both (in separate campaigns)?

Yeah i guess you could keep them separate, but there is really no need to because you are implementing tracking aren't you? this isn't adwords as you know.

If your split testing then yeah i guess you can separate although before i roll out ppv campaigns i do my split testing in adwords first, but thats just me.

Go and buy yourself a shit computer so you can install the adware from the different ppv networks (one at a time) and see what your competition is doing, unless of course you don't mind having it on your good comp!

+rep, quantcast media planner is an awesome tool.
 
I recommend running a few instances of hosted OS installs under vmware for adware testing/spying...cheaper than buying a junk pc and takes up less space.

A lot of adware apps detect virtual environment. Zango apps refused to install on a Vmwared windows. Vomba (MT source of traffic) - refused.

I bought a cheap netbook for spying.
 
OMG the quantcast tool is awesome - thanks guys, i'm going to have so much fun with this

Zango installs fine on Vmware. I cannot get Vomba to work.
 
The thing I find is conversions are good with PPV then after a bit they die out. Im guessing because the ad keeps showing to the same people?
 
It seems like Traffic Vance is better than Media Traffic, after I did some research.

However, on Traffic Vance's sign up page, they are saying only accepting direct advertisers,
reputable agencies and recognized independent media buyers.

So if we want to sign up their service as affiliate marketers, will we get rejected?

Anyone have experience to share on this?
