URL Targeting in PPV Campaigns

webatomic · 08-10-2009, 03:23 PM

I'm still stumbling around a bit in trying to figure out the best way to target URLs using a network like Media Traffic. They offer the following options:

target = Complete URL
"target" = URL without query string
[target] = Query string only
*target* = Search engine

Everything I've read for the most part recommends targeting just URLs. Anyone successfully using keywords instead? And how best to target these URLs? Any help/insight appreciated.

I know of people that have used keywords, either way - with ppv you need to test, test and test

Targeting URL's is really the safest way to go, in terms of not blowing all of your money real quick. The problem is that you have to find high traffic URL's, and from what I have seen, there are not a lot of them in the various CPA programs out there. And the ones that are high traffic won't allow you to use PPV

I have had some success with it, just not overwhelming success

The problem isn't finding high traffic URLs. I can target Google.com if I want, or Amazon.com. The trick is to find the URLs that offer enough traffic and convert. I've gotten all kinds of advice now, some say you need 2000+ URLs to start and then whittle them down. Some say just start with 1 or 2 highly targeted URLs. I've tried a few different methods and although I'm making conversions, my ROI is still overall negative. Some campaigns have been whittled down to 1 or 2 URLs and they convert, but still a negative ROI, because the offers are only email submits that pay a buck or two and the URLs get a lot of traffic. I think I need to try some higher paying offers and work on finding a better URL targeting formula/method. It's frustrating, because I can see the potential here, but am struggling to get over the hump.

webatomic, did you ask your PPV rep to send you a list of the websites that are sending the most traffic? Then you could search them for sites that rank for your keywords etc.... just an idea.
