What is NOT Contextual or DLS traffic

Posted by: Corey | Comments (2)

This month I have been asking experienced affiliate marketers and network affiiate managers alike exactly what is Contextual or Downloadable Software Traffic.

First off this type of traffic usually comes from PPV or Adware type of Pop Ups and Pop Unders. The networks that allow contextual or DLS have a very limited number of offers for this type of traffic. The reason they don’t want you running direct PPV traffic to their offers w/o a contextual link is it throws off their stats. For every impression that you get, that equals one click. If they are trying to get a bead on CTR, if you send them 10,000 impressions at a .5% conversion rate you can see how this would really mess up how good a particular offer looks statistically.

So that brings me to the topic of using landing pages for your PPV traffic. It’s always been my opinion that traffic sent to an offer from any URL that you own and is hosted on your server is website or banner traffic. The network shouldn’t care where you get the traffic from because all the impressions are registering on your site, not their offer.

Sending PPV traffic to your landing page then on to the offer is website traffic, not contextual or DLS traffic in my opinion so I took this to a few of my affiliate managers and other affiliate marketers. With about 99% certainty they all confirmed that PPV traffic that is sent to a landing page and on to the offer is regular website traffic.

This of course does not apply to offers that you iFrame.

You will also want to double check with your network manager but the general consensus seems to be that you can run any traffic to a lander and be w/in the TOS on offers that accept search and banner traffic.

If your experience has been different, I’m interested in hearing exactly what yours has been.

New PPV Network Update 11/25/09

Posted by: Corey | Comments (7)

<updated 11/26/09>

I talked to my friend Matt, owner of the up and coming PPV network, and he said that we would be good to go on Friday morning so keep an eye out for the email to the AffPortal users list.

Here’s some more information about the new PPV network and some very interesting details.

  1. AffPortal.com members now have an exclusive access package, unavailable to anyone else.
  2. This network is so new that the owner can name his advertisers off the top of his head which means there’s tons of traffic with very little competition.
  3. This network is partnering with traffic sources so quickly that they have gone from 30 dedicated servers to 60 dedicated servers to deliver popups in about 4 weeks.
  4. They currently handle over 4000 queries per second.
  5. When you register, use promo code “AffPortal” and your campaigns will automatically go to the PPV side of their ad inventory and you will get $50 in free pops.
  6. In mid December you will have access to TRUE fraction bidding. This means that you can buy ppv popups for as low as .005 cents per pop.
  7. They allow frame resizing, self starting video, embedded talking heads AND they approve exit pops… are you kidding me!

I’ll keep posting about details as I get them.

PPV SMART URL Scraper out of Beta

Posted by: Corey | Comments (2)

After about two weeks of Beta testing, tweaking and running this SMART URL scraper by the PPV junkies it’s done with Beta and ready to build out your URL lists.

With some additional tweaks for speed and accuracy this is about the best this tool is going to get. So if you have an offer and you’re too lazy to even think up the keywords to start with and need some help this is the tool for you.

Put in your offer root url, it scans over your site and comes up with what it thinks your site is all about. Then it returns the top traffic terms for that niche and gathers your URLs in one swift click of the button. No other URL scraper is easier to use.

Here’s a demo:

If your offer root has zero actual content or is flash based, it won’t be able to figure it out so don’t ask…
