Why Does PPV Traffic Kill It?

When people ask me what my favorite method of promoting affiliate offers is, I have no hesitation telling them that it's PPV. It's been around since the dark ages of the internet, and yet it is still successful today, perhaps more now than ever. I love PPV because it's easy. I love PPV because it's cheap. I love PPV because it's profitable.

Before you write me off as just a PPV fanboy, consider the facts:

• You can get PPV traffic for a penny per view
• You can direct link all you want
• There is no Quality Score issues
• There are over 30 billion web pages to target
• You can still run rebills (just use a good affiliate network!)

If that's not enough to get your juices flowing, then you should just hang up your shoes now and forget about making money on the internet. I'll even give you a personal example of mine. I campaign I just launched yesterday has cost me $3 and made me back $54. That's an ROI of 1,700%. And that's also only bidding on one URL. If you could make $54 for every $3 spent, how much would you spend? As much as humanly possible.

Is there competition on PPV? Of course there is. But competition is a good thing. That means that people are making money, and that's where you want to be at. There's no reason to re-invent the wheel when it comes to traffic. There are a few proven methods for getting traffic to your website or affiliate offer, and to succeed you must be able to master one (or all) of them.

The best thing that you can do for your online career is focus on one thing until you make it successful. There are so many different ways to make money on the internet that it's easy to get distracted trying out each idea that comes along. The guys that are buying their first Benz before most people graduate college are the ones that took one approach and worked it until it worked for them. Giving up and moving to a new traffic source is not the way to create wealth.

There are a lot of resources and tools available for today's PPV marketer that simple did not exist a couple years ago. Tools that make it even easier to make money with PPV. Don't like scraping URLs by hand? There's a tool for that. Don't like creating search engine query strings manually? There's a tool for that. There are also more and more offers being added to Affiliate Networks that accept PPV traffic. It's not just "adware" traffic anymore; people have realized that you can drive quality leads with PPV, and a ton of them.

No more excuses. There's no reason you can't start testing out your first campaign by the end of the day. You'll thank me once you've got a few offers on autopilot that are making you several hundred dollars a day.
