Thank you Bank! is it good if I can split test a landing page with direct linking for initial testing for ppv campaign ?
Reply
Oh, sorry it was my mistake. What i meant was
for example:
1 offers
but at the same time i split test 3 landing pages with different styles + some % to direct linking
Is this okay for initial test ? do you practice this way ?
Thank you Bank!

Hey Bank, I have 2 more questions to ask from you.
1. During Step 5: would you mind explain more about “enough data” ? like how do you consider that a campaign has significant data before you go to the next step ?
2. Under which step will you start testing with landing pages ?
I’m still strugling looking for a profitable campaign for half a year and still looking =S
Thanks!

Great post, thank you. If we use direct link, and no conv, does it mean offer is suck? Or it’s not 100% and we have to test with LP for sure.

Im in the fase of launching my first ppv campaign.. i got the most problems with selecting the offer. I found one with a payout of 2.40 usd, on email submit.. but the network epc is 0,07…. it is quite low.. however i know that this metric isnt the only thing to consider it scares me that it will not convert and i waste my money
can you give tips on picking a good offer? or do you think every offer can be profitable with the right targeting and optimalisation?

Hi Bank! Nice posts.. I wonder why do you research an offer using Alexa? I tought that we use Alexa to research our offer’s targets…
Thanks in advance!

@Jexmond Sorry I can’t add more reply in the previous comment. I’ll answer your questions here.
1. During Step 5: would you mind explain more about “enough data” ? like how do you consider that a campaign has significant data before you go to the next step ?
It depends on the offer’s payout. I usually determine the target when it receive enough amount of traffic. Well how much is enough? You have to define how much you want from one conversion. In many case, I want to get at least half amount of the payout back.
For example, let assume that the offer’s payout is $5. If I spend ads cost for one target for $2.5 but it gives me no conversion, I’ll remove it out from my campaign. If it has a conversion, I’ll keep it running.
2. Under which step will you start testing with landing pages ?
I’ll test the landing page when I’m sure that the offer works. Let say it gives me 20-30 conversions since start. I’ll consider to do the landing page.

Hi Bank,
Do you have the better way to monitor the targets. I’m having hard time looking at 100s of target for 1 campaign at one time. Do you use the export report function from the cpvlab?

I usually use just the report in my CPVLab to track my data. Rarely export the csv file. I think 100 targets for one campaign is not difficult to analyze because not all targets receive much amount of traffic.
I have more than 1,000 campaigns in my CPVLab. When I check the data, I’ll sort the campaigns by the number of views first. Then, check profit and loss. CTR. If there are any campaigns that make loss or have too low CTR, I’ll go to see what went wrong. For the profitable campaigns, I’ll check target detail just once a week. Keep them runs.

Hi Bank,
This is what I do exactly, its just bit time consuming and I wonder if there is one way for CPVlab to postback the conversion to TV and 50onred. It will be very helpful.
Do you feel that ppv is relatively unstable? I can get hundreds of dollars daily and it can suddenly disappear overnight, even with the same targets and bids. This has not happens in Bing or Adwords. I have small success in Pay Per Lead, but less in pay per sales offer in ppv, due to the bid competition. Some targets i’m bidding like 0.80 to 1 dollars per pop (proxy bid), which eats up mos of the profits.

You can add postback URL from CPVLab to the offer you’re promoting in CPA Network. The postback URL is like this https://xxxxxxxxxxxx.com/adclick.php?subid=#s2#
Yes, it’s unstable. You have to accept this because it’s part of the game. Instead of checking the conversions and summarize the earning everyday, I change myself to check stats for the whole week. 1-2 days loss is acceptable if the whole week give me positnive ROI.
I found this problem in Bing too but I think that it’s because of the banner blindness problem. Anyway, I’m not sure about that since I’ve not done much about PPC.

Think the major problem I have is choosing a reliable tracking script. I’m one who likes to have total control over any PHP script that I rely on for my earnings. Having it installed on my own servers is important. Prosper202 works, but not being able to clear/reset test stats bothers me. I use XtremeConversions (First tracking script to hit the market) for most of my tracking needs now. Can you recommend any good stand-alone PHP scripts to track conversions and split test using PPV?

Hi Bank, I’ve been doing some direct linking campaigns but I see that I’m losing a lot of visitor because of my tracker even though I have a VPS. Is it better to direct link using the CPA network’s link and track with a conversion pixel from my PPV network?
Thanks Bank, for your advice in advance 🙂

hi bank, i bought your ppv profit system course and i see you recommend working with 2 tracking softwares prosper202 and cpv. those softwares are very heavy and need an expensive hosting which i cant afford now as a begineer. what is your advice for me for tracking my campaigns in other ways . thank you for your answer

HI Bank,
This article is good….How profitable do you think this technique is? Do you think by running 100-200 campaigns with the keyword/url variations one can find a profitable campaign at the end?
