Media buying?

bringinrevenue · 08-02-2009, 02:30 PM

Was wondering what kind experience and advice you've all had with media buying. Do any of you recommend any particular media sites to use?
Is Ad Brite a good one?
Thanks!

Andrew Maule · 08-02-2009, 03:24 PM

Guessing you saw the Saj video..? I think it's a lot harder than it seems... you have to get targeted traffic from what I understand and make sure it converts.. I'm going to try it soon

SteveAC · 08-02-2009, 04:34 PM

Adbrite and Myspace are good places to get started if you don't have a big budget or are new. You can make good money off those platforms and then move on to the big leagues. Start small, build your budget, and before you know it you'll be balling...

Cash37 · 08-02-2009, 08:10 PM

Brandon Adcock | In-House SEM Turned Affiliate Marketer is pretty boss with media buys

ChrisBa · 08-02-2009, 08:38 PM

The biggest thing about media buying is it often takes a fair bit of money to make money, takes a fair bit of optimizing, and if your account manager at the company isn't good - then you will most likely keep losing money :|

Pleiadian01 · 08-04-2009, 06:55 PM

I agree with ChrisBa - Media buying is not as easy as some... people make out. Like PPC you have to test and test but unlike ppc the click through rates are far lower... You will be lucky to get 1% CTR and alot of the time it can be far lower than that like 0.1%... many campaigns will lose money until you get the odd one that makes $, the guys selling you these products only show you the few that make the $$.

Thats not to say people dont make money media buying, its just not the easiest way to make money online. It takes patience and alot of testing plus a willing to spend alot of money to make money.

The quickest way to make money online - sell to the people wanting to make money online

Go round all the money making forums looking for money making techniques and rehash it into your own WSO

kyleaker · 08-05-2009, 10:37 AM

good post thank you for that.

bradman · 09-02-2009, 10:47 AM

Agreed. Media Buy is not the place to start making coin online.

I've been making money online via PPC and seo for over a year now and i feel its time for me to venture to media buying now.

Make sure you watch either Traffic Tactics, Traffic University, or Media Mastery before even considering media buys.. unless you feel like blowing a ****load of cash.

What some pros have told me to do is run ppc and find out what keywords are converting for your offer/product, then query those in google and find websites listed on the first page that offer 'advertising' with them.

Hope this helps.

Robyn8243 · 09-02-2009, 06:03 PM

Like everything else, media buying can be effective, but it is not an automatic easy solution. It takes a lot of testing and tracking before you find sites that are profitable.

A lot of the companies have very high minimums per ad, so you require a pretty healthy budget to get started.

If space is available on an established website, you need to question why? Once you find a site that is profitable for you, you will no doubt continue to advertise there. It's not easy to find great sites that are not already taken by existing advertisers.

Versus · 09-02-2009, 06:18 PM

From what I have read on BrandonAdcock's page, also test on facebook prior to going ahead.

maymorgano · 09-03-2009, 07:16 AM

Some suggestions on what needs to be an I/O before you sign:
1. The most important one is an out clause, meaning you can cancell the campaign with a 24/48 hours notice.
2. After that one check where you are placed - are you the banner deep down where no one sees you?
3. Make sure your impressions are evenly distributed - meaning you don't spend half of your budget in the first weekend, but spend equal amounts every day.

There's more, but if you have #1, than you can re-negotiate all the rest.

Eurolove · 09-03-2009, 07:41 AM

Good heads up.
Even distribution sounds good, but in reality is all too often flawed and overlooked by most networks... without much that can be done about it.

Also, make sure to include to track off your numbers, not the networks. ALWAYS use a third-party ad server to serve your ads, and have networks rotate these ad tags. Never just go off network numbers.

sexytisha69 · 09-03-2009, 04:27 PM

they still your money...my 2cents

pikachu · 09-06-2009, 02:12 AM

Media buys are definitely up there in the budget arena. If you're really set on checking this stuff out on a low budget look into buysellads.com. I haven't had success but some people I've talked to have. Also if you can put a CPC campaign together with a high CTR on facebook, you could switch it over to CPM. Be careful though cause that can run through your budget really fast (again don't know where you're at budget wise). As for ad brite, I head to just make sure to double check your clicks that you get. Hope this helped a bit, good luck

TheScalper · 09-09-2009, 07:18 PM

Hey guys, I've got a question regarding media buys:

When you start your campaign on a network do you start bidding high or low? So for example when I'm bidding on all sites of an category like health/fitness I sort the crappy sites out (also the ones where the banner would be placed far away from the main content and of course also the untargeted ones) but have also a big bunch of sites with an CPM between 1 and 10 $ left.

If I start my campaign with i.e. 2 or 3 $ CPM I probably miss out the high quality traffic sources. But if I start bidding high I do probably run out of money even before I gathered really enough data to optimize the campaign completely.

So what do you do in this case? Bid only on a fistful of site but with high CPM bidding or start bidding low, sort the site with low CTR/conversion-rate out and then slowly raise the bid?

PPC-Coach · 09-17-2009, 08:46 AM

Lots of good info in this thread, but don't be afraid to think outside the box too...

There's more to media buys then just using cpm networks like adbrite or buysellads or any of the big ones. They can be used but you will most likely need to be very specific with where you are placing your ads, (never do RON with them).

tmedocianis · 09-17-2009, 12:47 PM

Actually, there are people making RON work, so never say never. These people are of course cleaning up, but it takes a very special understanding to do that and make it convert. But I agree, it's not something that beginners or intermediates want to do.

tas36 · 09-19-2009, 10:55 PM

Is anyone having any luck with adbrite? im kinda still a newbie but been trying media buys with adbrite and havnt had 1 conversion yet. Now i had a good bit of clicks on a couple different offers i was running but no conversions. Guess im still to much of a newbie to try media buys? guess i was looking for a couple hints or suggestions

AvidAZ · 09-20-2009, 02:22 AM

Media buying for me is scary, because you don't see the same ROI that you see with other marketing tactics. I think it is good if you are trying to build a brand, but to spend a lot for impressions, you might be disappointed with the lack of conversions.

TheScalper · 09-20-2009, 10:17 AM

@tas36: same problem here. I'm using not AdBrite but a german advertising network instead (but it's rawly the same like AdBrite). I'm trying now to get conversions by advertising on a CPC basis through these networks. If I get some offers which convert and websites where I get high a high CTR I'm going to try CPM advertising. But for the moment I'm still searching for an offer which sticks...

Thumoney · 09-20-2009, 08:52 PM

There was a study recently MediaPost Publications Study: Half Of Ad Impressions, 95 Percent Of Clicks Fraudulent 09/18/2009 which showed that a lot of media buy traffic is fraud, at least in the RON and unoptimized stage.

TimScott · 09-20-2009, 09:37 PM

So has anyone had any success with Myspace cpc campaigns, because I'm thinking of venturing into that for some cpa offers?

James Pateman · 09-20-2009, 10:30 PM

Wow, talk about timing!
Just this morning, I had two recommended to me from a very trusted source.

They are: clicksor and mediatraffic (from memory I think clicksor is offering 1000 impressions for $7)

all-the-best,
James Pateman

KC-Coop · 09-20-2009, 10:34 PM

I wouldn't use Adbrite for anything personally. Their traffic quality is terrible. When your doing large scale CPM media buys - make sure you get your IO perfectly the way you want it. You want a 24 hour out clause, and even distribution amongst other things.

Clicksor and Mediatraffic are considered adware networks, (CPV).

I do think clicksor has a CPM network to it as well though.

fifthnormal · 09-21-2009, 12:37 PM

I've started looking into doing a larger media buy. It's pretty expensive to get into. Tribal Fusion sent some info over last week, they want a $10k/month minimum purchase. I think that's asking a lot to start out with before a campaign is tested.

I contacted another smaller firm and they are asking $5k/month.

It seems that they would allow companies to do some testing before spending those amounts. But neither company offered it.

Seems like targeted rates are around $10CPM when buying in a low volume like this.

autotradex · 09-21-2009, 05:27 PM

I use Media Buying... you don't need a website or your own landing page. You can place any of the CPA banner ads on highly targeted websites specific to your CPA publishers offer. With the right Media Buying Campaign you can choose a websites that has high alexa and quantcast rating and with 10 million plus visitors per/mth. ex...I have CPA ads on hi5,AOL,Oxygen,MSN,Photobucket,USA Network and more.

The other cool thing about Media Buying is that you can Pay/Per Thousand views (CPM)on your CPA Ad. I pay as little as .10 cents per thousand views and the visitors are super targeted to specific demographics by Age-Gender-Income-Education-No of Kids in Household-Ethnicity -What they read-Watch on TV- and more.

So don't rule out Media Buying.

Regards,
Manny V

TheScalper · 09-21-2009, 07:52 PM

Hi Manny, thx for your answer. Do you test the offers via AdWords or Facebook Ads before you concerning media buys? Or do you rotate offers on the publishing website?

krishnaGopal · 09-23-2009, 05:35 PM

i tried media buying as stated in the ZFM course..i am sstill yet to make a profit though..conversion rates have not been too great!

PPC-Coach · 09-23-2009, 11:18 PM

The $5,000 or $10,000 minimum is for one very specific type of media buying. You can do it for far less then that. There's several ways to do it. Think of what you read daily and think outside the typical cpm network approach.

Yeah a lot of people don't know that 5-10k is an arbitrary number people throw out to deter competition...

seolinker · 09-24-2009, 03:11 PM

I have even heard a lot about $20k-$25k range to deter those with $5k-$10k

affiliatemaster · 09-24-2009, 04:47 PM

I recommend using adsonar. They have a huge network of the best placements for media buys. I also recommend adblade. They are two good media buying sites. Good luck

dannbkk · 09-25-2009, 02:58 AM

buysellads seem pretty good, although im yet to also try them

Every media buy campaign we start up we spend $2.5k-$5k/day in testing out of the gate. Its not an arbitrary number. You have to spend that amount to get the data, as well as increase your yield in the eyes of the ad network to push out all the competition. You can't go to adsonar with $500/day and expect to start optimizing your campaign.

popi · 09-25-2009, 11:28 AM

You can actually do a media buy for less than 200 bucks per day.

Ask for:
1. 24 hour out clause - which means that you can stop the advertising in 24 hours.
2. Impressions Spreaded Evenly Over 30 days so you don't get all impressions in 1 hour and blow up your budget.

So if you campaign is not going well the first few days, you can stop and save yourself 80%-90% of budget.

But it probably is a good idea to test out your MARKETING FUNNEL through PPC, Zedo and adbrite before you get into serious media buys.

rb1925 · 09-25-2009, 11:58 AM

I have not ha dmuch look with Adbrite. Very low conversions, and they will not approve many common ad types.

Sabatian · 09-25-2009, 04:48 PM

Demographics question and media buys.

I used quantcast.com and put in the cpa url for a gift card. I then put in the retailers site for the offer into quantcast and came up with a different set of demographics. I know testing would be the correct answer but has anyone already tested?

def is alot harder than it seems. Be prepared to lose a good chunk of money until you can optimize your campaigns. Huge risk but huge reward.

It's pretty expensive to get into. Tribal Fusion sent some info over last week, they want a $10k/month minimum purchase. I think that's asking a lot to start out with before a campaign is tested. I contacted another smaller firm and they are asking $5k/month. It seems that they would allow companies to do some testing before spending those amounts. But neither company offered it. Seems like targeted rates are around $10CPM when buying in a low volume like this. Daniel

You can place any of the CPA banner ads on highly targeted websites specific to your CPA publishers offer. With the right Media Buying Campaign you can choose a websites that has high alexa and quantcast rating and with 10 million plus visitors per/mth. ex...I have CPA ads on hi5,AOL,Oxygen,MSN,Photobucket,USA Network and more. The other cool thing about Media Buying is that you can Pay/Per Thousand views (CPM)on your CPA Ad. I pay as little as .10 cents per thousand views and the visitors are super targeted to specific demographics by Age-Gender-Income-Education-No of Kids in Household-Ethnicity -What they read-Watch on TV- and more. So don't rule out Media Buying. Regards, Manny V

The $5,000 or $10,000 minimum is for one very specific type of media buying. You can do it for far less then that. There's several ways to do it. Think of what you read daily and think outside the typical cpm network approach.

Ask for: 1. 24 hour out clause - which means that you can stop the advertising in 24 hours. 2. Impressions Spreaded Evenly Over 30 days so you don't get all impressions in 1 hour and blow up your budget. So if you campaign is not going well the first few days, you can stop and save yourself 80%-90% of budget. But it probably is a good idea to test out your MARKETING FUNNEL through PPC, Zedo and adbrite before you get into serious media buys.

I used quantcast.com and put in the cpa url for a gift card. I then put in the retailers site for the offer into quantcast and came up with a different set of demographics. I know testing would be the correct answer but has anyone already tested?
