DirectCPV Thoughts?

cypherslock · 10-10-2010, 08:35 AM

I'm considering starting up with this one (don't quite have the extra in the budget for Media Traffic) but wanted to get some opinions on it if possible. I did grab a free PDF by one Josh Todd, that explained how to set it (and Prosper202) up. It was so clear that I thought I'd give this a go.

My patience with DirectCPV is wearing very thin. I have a few campaigns that are "Pending" for over a week now. I have tried to contact them numerous times to get my campaigns approved or disapproved through support tickets and I also tried calling them a few times.

I find it impossible to test and track a lot of campaigns (a must if you want to find winners) when the approval takes so friggin' long.

I am going to try and get a hold of them after the long weekend and if I can not have some kind of guarantee that my campaigns will be approved/disapproved withing 24 hours, I am going to ditch them.

Very frustraing.

I hope they get my Helloween campaigns approved before it's to late.
Another thing I do not like about them is that they do not allow audio on landing pages.
Audio has shown to increase conversion wiht CPV.

I haven't had very good results with them at all to be honest and their campaign approval times border on the ridiculous.

DirectCPV is OK. The setup and structure of the site isn't very convenient. Managing campaigns can be a bit annoying, and the staff are Canadians which is always pleasant (not).

Anyways- they're perfect for a new CPV guy like me.

I plan on banging up to better network in the future.

I call and bug them when I want stuff approved. I think they've figured out to just approve my stuff fast or they'll be having an annoying call.

Ryan, you may want to rethink that statement. Canadians for the most part are some of the most helpful people you'll meet. And I am actually Canadian.

I concur. I am English and live in Canada and love Canadians. Best people you will meet anywhere.
