This is a very basic ppv campaign, don't expect this post to be anything massive and too impressive ![]() So I'm not going to go into extreme detail, but I will give away more than enough.. This campaign to this date was still one of my most strongest ever on PPV/CPV. I started off with adonnetwork for this one (I often like to play with adon for new campaigns as they have very cheap cpv rates). I picked an iq quiz offer (to be honest I don't even recall the name of it anymore and I have cleared that data out of my prosper database by now, regardless the exact name of the offer doesn't really matter) that paid around $10 a lead, it converted on a pin submit. In google I plugged into various terms related to my offer (iq quiz, iq quizes, iq quizing, test iq, etc, etc), and then dumped all of the urls for the first 10 pages or so from the results into an excel spreadsheet. I took both the long version of the url (eg. theurl.com/slash/dot/page.html) as well as just the base url (eg. theurl.com), I dumped all of those for my keywords and applied them to my campaign. For example, here are the keywords that come up now on the first page of google for me: Code: www.quibblo.com/quiz/yCMGli/IQ-Quiz www.iqtestfree.net www.quizrocket.com/iq-tests www.coolquiz.com/life/iq/ www.iq-tests-online.com www.funeducation.com www.wordofmouthexperiment.com/dedpyhto/IQ-test-trainer.htm www.allthetests.com/quiz26/quiz/1221888094/IQ-Quiz www.gotoquiz.com/iq_quiz_trick_questions iew.state.gov/quiz.cfm www.webiqquiz.com plus the shortened versions: Code: www.quibblo.com www.iqtestfree.net www.quizrocket.com www.coolquiz.com www.iq-tests-online.com www.funeducation.com www.wordofmouthexperiment.com www.allthetests.com www.gotoquiz.com iew.state.gov www.webiqquiz.com ![]() Once I had this going strong, I took the campaign over to mediatraffic and took all the profitable keywords and dumped them into the campaign. Again, just like on adon, media traffic loved this campaign and brought in even more traffic and profit - especially on that 1 magical url. Now, I decided to take this to the next step and I brought the campaign over to trafficvance, and just like before, much more traffic and much more profit.. Now, it wasn't over for me, it was time to then rotate through a bunch of other IQ Quiz offers, no point in letting it stop there - eventually I think I tried 5 out, found my winner and even more profit. After a few months the campaign eventually died off, but not before I made a killing doing it. I know this isn't a "case study" or anything too impressive, I'm not giving away my exact keywords (it wouldn't do anyone any good at this point anyways).. but really it's a technique outlined that I've rinsed and repeated for other offers in different niches. |

Thanks Chris! This is an awesome overview of how you built a profitable ppv campaign. I might have to give adon a try myself!

Good strategy rather than going after iPhone, iPad related keyword which i think already saturated and expensive, this drive traffic directly to those looking for a quiz, questionnaire

Probably a dumb question, but you used the URLs as the keywords, correct?

| Give it a try, it might take a few different offers/niches/campaigns to get it going, this is kind of a "mainstream" methods now so you might get some saturation.. but it still works with trial and error!

| For PPV, don't think of urls/keywords.. think of targets.. in most cases I exclusively use urls are targets instead of keywords - they are much more targeted

I am confused, to be honest PPV is *one* area i dont have experience with. As i understand, PPV is as "difficult" (if not more diffcult) as PPC...and it doesnt come free either? So..how do you make "a killing" on zip submits etc. which pay $2 on avg...with PPV? What is/was your investment to get the PPV going? I understand it needs LOTS of testing (so does PPC)...but just curious... |

I'm not a fan of email submits due to the scrubbing, I'd rather promote offers that pay at least $5. Lots of testing is often needed but generally by te time you hit what your offer pays you have a general idea on the direction the campaign is going | |

Nice Chris, the makes me want to go back to CPV and only target higer paying offers. By the way did you manually scrape all of your urls or use a tool, if a tool what was it? |

EWA Man.. ![]() They don't have that one more.. I even split tested with other networks (in addition to other offers) and that was the one that gave me the highest EPC/Profit.. |

It's not that impressive - perhaps future posts will be, maybe i'll give away a tad more who knows.. |

It's so much easier to give away the details of a campaign when they eventually fizzle out But then again, I still don't like to give out too many details because when people know which campaigns are yours, there are normally ways to reverse engineer to see other campaigns you are doingPeople understand that details of campaign are private....thanks for your share here Chris! | |

Great tips chris.. I have been messing with PPV for the past few weeks and this really sparked a few ideas in my head. Another thing I might add is to TRACK TRACK TRACK! That is the most important part, so that you can remove the URLS that dont convert and keep only the ones that do! |

Great post Chris thanks so much. I've just started dipping my toe in the water for affiliate marketing via CPV and I find this post very insightful! One question re: the url targets. You mentions that you pulled the urls from the top 10 pages for various keywords such as iq quiz, iq quizes, iq quizing, test iq, etc, etc.... My question is, did you take the urls from the top 10 pages for EACH keyword or total? Just wondering if you start off targeting 100 urls or 500....thanks again! |

Thanks for sharing Chris! How do you know or measure that the company has died off? Do you save it and re-start in future? |
