please vote and tell me the best ways to attract advertisers on a fixed budget
-
How about all of the above?
It's not easy to choose.
-
the choice is easy if one needs to advertise he will look for a place where the users who are gonna click on adds do not use bots.whats the use of buying adds if no ones gonna really view them.
-
The thing is though, even if no bots are clicking the ads, there's no guarantee that the user clicking is actually reading the ad.
That's a challenge for all advertisers.
For me, I really use the free advertising websites for my advertising knowing that I'm not losing anything if no one signs up for my programs.
The one exception lately was using $12 of my balance on a site and exchanging for advertising. My ad is still up, and it's resulted in one active referral. Not the best outcome, but I'm happy so far.
-
true but it beats sites which ask for only $1 for 1000 clicks and it is confirmed the users will be using bots or autoclickers.
free traffic exchange sites are grate but u spend 5 hrs for a week earning credits and in return u get 0 referrals wont u be disappointed.it makes 1 referal for using sum balance seem great.advertising is always a gamble not many people like seeing banners and stuff and reading each and evry one they see.
abt advertising with using balance yes i also used $7.5 at a site and got 3 referrals in return though still have to see if they are active
-
It's never easy.
But the one site I use, I already have tons of credits, I got started with that site by donating to the owner's charity and received credits for my donations.
-
When I look to advertise my site, I look for low prices, as well as the ability to target by country. I mainly look for American's and Canadians to join my site, because most of the offers are specifically for these countries.
-
sounds like you should try advertisement on my site.since most my members are either canadian or american
-
I voted for "low prices", but I think it is also important how many members the site has (your potential customers/referrals).
-
here are the main attractions to major marketers :
low prices(of course)
variety of ways to advertise at your site (banners,paid links,ptr ads, text link, etc...)
geographic stats of members ( advertisers do not want asian traffic, china, taiwan,basicly almost every asian country, asian traffic is pretty much outlawed on any real marketing or affiliate networks...) also the amount of active members on your site is important as well.
-
I voted....
None of the Above
Examining the Options
Low Prices
Most of us are members of sites that are charging around $20 per 1,000 Ad links, so it's not cheap advertising which is attracting visitors or sponsors. This helps of course but there needs to be other factors.
no bots
Irrelevant, IMHO, because the site owner is the only person whom can confirm that there are bots in thier userbase. Rather you want to have Only Unique IP's per Day, that way the Advertiser can be assured that the hits are genuine.
high security
Should be installed irregardless of Advertisers.
amount of payouts
The best way to attract and keep members, which in turn will attract advertisers.
design
Yeah that does help, navigation is probably the key to it, simple is best
--------------------
IMHO, The most important thing is a site with a large amount of Members.
An Example
You take out a 1,000 click Advertisement. which site would you want to put the Ad on?
A. Site with 200 Members
B. Site with 500 Members
C. Site with 1,000 Members
D. Site with 10,000 Members
Options A and B mean that your Ad is going to be seen at least twice by the same person
Option C, your Ad might be seen by unique people if all members are active
Option D, chances that 1,000 unique people are viewing your Ad is highly possible.
I think the common element of all PTC sites is that thier Members have a tendancy to take out Advertising to drum up Referrals, so I think that it's Member Numbers that have the greatest effect in attracting Advertisers.

Most (if not all) of these links are self-sponsored, so cheap advertising is a key.

I think you're confusing Member Click Earnings with Ad Click Prices. If Ads are self-sponsored the only thing that is affected is how much the Owner is going to shell out per click to thier Members. I can't see how Self-Sponsored Ads would affect Advertising Prices considering they are never bought by the public.

What I mean is on sites that charge 20 $ (or 19.99) for 1.000 visits, normally the ads their member are able to click on are self-sponsored: not many (if any) "advertisers" are willing to pay such an ammount.
-
thankyou very much for this topic it made me realize what my site was lacking to encourage advertisers to buy ads
i have now added information about the security of my site
the members locations
checked all my pricing
told them how we stop bots
have not said anything about the amount of payouts but am planning on soon once we have more than 1 as 1 looks a bit stupid :P
design i kept the same but changed a few things round but is still simple to use
thankyou again and let me know what you think to the information i provided
-
All of the above.
Specials always catches the eyes
If you look at your ad prices, the lower end is to high,
100 hits for 3.50 is not worth it, for the advertiser.
and 15.00 for 6,000 is way to low, (If you decide to change it, let me get my ad in first ;D)
Your good at ad design, give it a mild make over, brighten some colors
ad packages, I like the Idea of the incentive of referrals
and most of all lose the timer on your credit me,
Sstash can tell you, the other forum, is full of the dislike on her site because of the timer.
You can't force anyone to look at an ad, either they are or there not, going to read it.
The green button is a distraction, many times, I am checking out a new site, seeing what
they pay, but my focus is always drifting back up to the timer.
-
if you are talking to me then thanks for the information
i cannot remove the timer because it is there to stop people from cheating
i will look at adding a special :) thanks for the idea
they are all the same prices for my ad packages but you just buy in bulk or not :S
the design does need to be freshened up so im going to make a full length header :) and hopefully make some littler graphics to place round the site with the same theme even if it is just converting text to nice artwork text it should make it look better :)

no she was talking to me, sorry to burst your bubble.
-
:D Yea I was!
But that's Ok Lewi, I think Twysted is going to hit me over the head, If I don't stop bugging him about the little green button ;D
_____________________
Lewi, which site is yours?
-
oh okay :)
in response to your signature it is zxclicks.com
this thread is still great and hopefully has improved my site
-
amount of payouts
-
amount of payouts
lol
-
Should be able to vote for more than one choice...
-
Design and low prices, unfourtunately ::)
-
security first , design and low prices
-
i think script or design is a little more dominant in comparison .Because a ptc user know well the old scripts that labeled on the old scam ptc sites and so they never want to invest for the same script :)
-
design and price. If it looks like crap or the prices are too high, I won't advertise.
First I see the site design, then i judge it
Then I view the ad prices and I take them into consideration (Less than 3$ per 1000 only)
Then I look at the size of members, new members today, and Ad Hits today.
If I need more info, i check out the News and FAQ....If I see little to no News or FAQ, I get the hell off that site.
-
In my view a paying site with an honest admin will survive in this industry and make the admin and investor ALOT of money. (never forget that)
-
all of them sounds good :)
-
I'd say by demographics. Who sees the add must equall the target market of the advertiser.
-
I have a PTC site and I have advertisers. Getting advertisers isn't rocket science. IT TAKES WORK.
1. Pay your members FAST. If they get paid they remain active. If they get paid they promote you. If they don't get paid THEY DON'T CLICK.
I usually only pay .0001 for a 7 second view and have a .05 - .10 withdraw minimum. Lots of people will be turned off by low earnings but
if they can make .15 - .25 a month and cash out some will join you. That way you can actually not be overwhelmed with payments and with
low earnings many people will just click a while and move on and not bother to cash out. See. while the big paying sites announce a few months later they have a Pay Pal problem you are still paying. If they don't get paid THEY DON'T CLICK.
2.The script you use helps. I have had good success with Aurora SMV 2.0. I think it is because that script has a built in Virool offer wall.
They know there is good earnings with Virool.
3. Virool video is a very good way to pull advertisers. I would recommend paying members .008 per view. Why? Because Virool is very good
and only allowing the top tier people to view their ads. These are the people that spend money and give you quality traffic. It is worth it
to pay them 80%.
4. Aurora sites are better I think. Buxhost and PTC Evolution sites have just ran Ponzi Scheme after Ponzi scheme. Plus they have high prices.
5. Get 500 members and become Donkey Mails and No Minimum approved. That is 2 ads.
6. Get the PTC Wall on your site. More good advertising already found for you.
7. There are 10 Paid to Read sites that have a special PTP. Pay your members .0001 to view them and you get .05 - .15 per 1000. You can
find these listed on Donkey Mails PTP approved sites. Use your credits to redeem ads to promote Donkey mails and No Minimum.
8. There are many other PTC sites that are Donkey Mails and No Minimum approved. Many of these sites have .30 - .40 per 1000 PTP for
upgraded members. Join these sites, upgrade, and start promoting them at your site. Use your money to redeem ads to promote Donkey mails and No Minimum.
9. The reason I say Donkey Mails and No Minimum is because these are professional people that have been in business a long time. I
trust them to pay. Many of these PTC sites I don't trust to pay. So, I funnel it to Donkey Mails and No Minimum.
10. Paid To Read sites have affiliate pages that you can promote.
11. You are going to need to promote your site heavily. I would recommend advertising your site on all the Donkey Mails and No Minimum
approved sites. There are many promoters looking for low cost, quality traffic.
12. As far as promoting my site I prefer to do most of it myself. If you give free members a good PTP and referral commission they will reward your generosity by cheating you. I give free members 0 PTP and 0 referral commission. Why reward them for cheating? People
that upgrade are usually not cheaters so I let the promote my site. That gives you more quality traffic.
13. Put about 4 Adhitz banners on your homepage. If you charge .03 cents a click and get about 3000 - 5000 hits a day you will sell banners
easily. I prefer to charge a high price so I can get all the banners in the network. That way they don't tire of the same ones.
14, Only have 1 PTC site. If you have more then 1 you will have the same people in them. That lowers the quality of your traffic.
15. As your site grows advertise on bigger sites. Use Geo targeting to Tier 1 countries. More quality traffic.
It is all about quality, volume, targeting, customer service, trust. Start out with customer service and trust.
