Tracking Keywords and URLs with DirectCPV

track directcpv subids

A lot of my PeerFly publishers are using DirectCPV right now and although I do not think it is the best PPV network, they do have traffic and there are some people running very successful campaigns with them. One issue they all seem to be having right now is that the pixel option with the new DirectCPV interface does not seem to work. It’s easy to see how this could be an issue when you go to optimize your campaign, but luckily there is another option that is just as good. Instead of placing the tracking pixel on PeerFly, you can simply pass their keyword/url variables into your PeerFly long link.

DirectCPV Destination URL

When you are setting up your Default landing page on DirectCPV they give you four variables that you can pass into your affiliate link. Well, just like when you setup a 7Search campaign, you can pass these variables into your long link and then when you view your Reports on PeerFly you can see a complete breakdown based on those SubIDs.

The four different variables you can pass are:

$esc.url($query.keyword) ${query.trafficProvider.key} $esc.url($query.url) $esc.url($matched.categoryName)

If you are looking at that and thinking, “well, that’s confusing”, I agree → Continue Reading

New DirectCPV Interface Fails

directcpv fail

A lot of my PeerFly publishers have recently been running traffic with DirectCPV. Although it’s not my favorite PPV network, I’ve seen mixed results with some tests of my own so I don’t usually discourage it. As I mentioned in my Top PPV Networks post, it’s a good PPV network for newbies. However, with a recent “update” to their interface, I’m ready to start suggesting getting your PPV traffic elsewhere.

New DirectCPV Design

The new design looks nice, but it’s not functioning properly! I haven’t run any campaigns myself, but after logging in and taking a look around and reading this thread on CPVDen, I’m not going to be running any anytime soon either. Why would they release the new update without having it 100% ready to go? For example, I went to my Referrals page, clicked the button to get my referral link, and my referral code isn’t even there.

I hope they are able to get everything fixed and actually ready to go soon or I doubt they will have many people running traffic for much longer.

Is anyone else having issues with the new DirectCPV interface? 

Top PPV Networks

Top PPV Networks

I have been pushing PPV hard to my PeerFly publishers. We have been seeing great results from all the top PPV networks to our offers and I keep hearing great things from my publishers so of course, I push it to anyone who asks me for a good traffic source. But, what are the top PPV networks? I have discussed LeadImpact before, but what are the others?

Media Traffic

Media Traffic is a very well liked PPV network by most PPV affiliate marketers. Their approvals process is a little bit of a pain. You have to print out, complete, sign, and send back your application. You also have to scan a copy of your ID (sound familiar?) and a front and back copy of your credit card.

However, once you’re approved you’ll find that the interface at Media Traffic is pretty good and easy to use. They require a $200 initial deposit and at least $100 on each refill.

The traffic quality is okay and they have quite a bit of it. One of the advantages to using Media Traffic over LeadImpact is that the pop up window size you get to work with is 1024×720, which is bigger → Continue Reading

Free PPV Advice From PPV Forum CPVDen.com

I do not usually find a lot of time to be active on forums. Typically, the guy from PeerFly that everyone sees on forums is Corey, but lately I have begun posting on the Contextual Marketing Community, CPV Den.

I first found CPV Den when I was searching Google for free PPV tools. I landed on their resources page and immediately started to look around. They have some really great free PPV tools that I found very useful:

Google URL Scraper URL Site Extractor Similar Sites Preview Popper

There are some others they offer as well. Those ones in particular I liked. Well, after messing around with the tools for a little bit I found myself on the site forum.

Like the tools, the forum is also free to use. I skimmed through the threads and replies and found some very good posts with a lot of great information so I decided to register.

The forum has nearly 2,000 threads that have been created with about 11,200 posts and it’s all about PPV marketing! They cover newbie questions and answers, bidding strategies, working with Tracking202, landing page design, case studies, the different PPV networks, and much much more.
