You hit the nail on the head - and the higher the risk, the more willing the seller is to sell. And when the buyer is paid on a CPA, this risk is very, very great.

Franck, does this not make sense? :winkwink: :)

-P

Sure it does...

I dont think gallery traffic is real bad...certainly not as bad as p2p traffic.

I setup my first p2p server three year ago.
So i knew a little about p2p:

Will never never buy p2p traffic from anyone.

It is very easy easy to setup p2p server.
(cheap cheap bandwidth that's all)

the traffic horrible horrible.

Sponsors will cancel your account very soon.

Sick Balls Chopper!!!

what software did you use to run it?

Thats what i wonder...someone whos gonna spend 10k on a campaign is better off spending 10k on servers and software and setting up his own thing...i think 10k gets you in the right direction for sure.

If you want to do it big you need to get your own software.

p2p company provide free client software and free server side software.

LOL I have been doing this for a LONG time and nobody cancels me. You must have done something completely different.

Exactly, read above newbies, now go uninstall Limewire dipshits, P2P spam is beyond your capability, stick to TGPing and updating your blogs, trash.

LOL! :1orglaugh

DH

erhm. which p2p company exactly? :)

i didnt want a pic of your family ;)

He doesnt want to be in the biz of setting up websites and serving the traffic?

What makes you think he hasnt...

note: using p2p traffic for advertising is far from beeing new...some of you guys seem to think p2pads invented it ;)

wohoo, I just won $100 on a poker hand.....

So this is oficially "da thread" of the night no? :upsidedow

interesting thread

good read

it will be interesting now to see how many people try to play in the p2p space as a result of the recent p2p threads. what they will find is that it's not as easy as people think. unless you are prepared to invest about 10k minimum and are willing to wait 6-12 month for decent results, it's not worth it. p2p ads has been doing this for some time now, so i think its safe to say that they know a thing or two about what works and what doesn't. the bottom line is that if they cant produce decent roi for traffic buyers then they wont be in business long. i dont think they would sell traffic if they knew the traffic was worthless and customers would be left unhappy. dh and brad have been pretty upfront about the quality of their traffic. unless you have personally tried their traffic why would you hate on it.

6-12 month for decent results over p2p ? Seriously .... a good run of traffic only start after 2 month when you know what you are doing with custum tools and a bunch of servers, its not rocket science. Easy to figure out the traffic start for real when ppl start to share files in mass.

And before you call me an idiot or something, i got a setup of 40 servers there for almost 3 years, and i killed the whole setup a few months back because it suck now . When taxi drivers and the idiot of the village start to spam p2p on their spare times, its time to move along on other traffic source.

Yes, p2p is a good traffic source, if you want quanity. Conversion to a sponsor is really different , its a TON of work , you cant promote the same sponsor over and over, you need to be CREATIVE , and renew your shit all the time. Sometime every day or 2 days.

Dont think you upload a few videos , and upload some keywords and wait for the sales, it will never happend. You will only get traffic to feed some retarded TGP. You need to work if you want sales, and work REALLY more if you want a ROI.

And for CT, if the stats are really true, get a lotery ticket, because you got lucky on this one if it was your first try.

I agree with the above poster. For me the cost of a page view (ok its a forced page view since its a pop up) is so low i dont care.

My real time stats tell me last 24 hrs my CPM on page views is 30.07889546 cents per one K (Thats 0.030078895 cents per page view). Granted this is just the BW cost and Server cost and does not count the investment I made in developing the software and time I spent, but I take this 30 cent CPM and sell to main stream guys any where from 5$ to 50$ so its a good business model.

What is the CPM on Hun these days ? How much does it cost to get a gallary link ?.

Here is one advice. If a guy comes and search on P2P for "Teen Porn Clips" and if you give him good Teen Porn clips the chances of he joining your site is a lot high, marketing 101.

It not just putting your content on a P2P network, but its about how you encode, when you pop the URL, what text over you put on the video etc etc...all this affects. I got an army of video editors in India who do this full time, create compelling clips.

lately this is shilled at least once or twice a week here, but at least this time there is some almost drama with Frank being 'on thin ice' with that drinking dude...


:pimp :winkwink:



YAAAAAAAAAAY.....I like drama



YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY....I like drama



goes well in the morning with coffee

:thumbsup

Ofcourse there is more going on than just a random noob client of p2pads who decided to post his stats :winkwink:

I was wondering how much these recent 'testimonial' thread starters are getting discounted on their current or future ad campaigns too.

:winkwink: :thumbsup

Shhhhhhh you will be on "thin ice" ...... :1orglaugh

You know what I love about you Franck :)

You really do HATE us yet you keep bumping this thread to generate me more business.

So thanks for that.

I would hardly discourage threads of this nature. The company in question is derived from two very well known industry elites that have lengthy industry histories. The thread starter posted actual screenshots (although unsatisfactory to some of you, it is more than most threads offer). P2Pads supports GFY.

This thread is neither spam nor drama, it is informative beyond what most threads on this board consist of content-wise. The only 'drama' is opinion and that goes along with every webmaster board thread that allows for 'free posting.'

For the record, Wegcash did not purchase traffic from P2P, they sent it to us as we are one of their programs used. The traffic does well.

Now, for my 'opinion.'

I hardly believe they would discount an account for the sole purpose of a GFY thread. In fact, I would assume most of their marketing comes word of mouth in social circles of entities that can afford the price points. They are not solo girls trying to get 'webmaster signups via 'would you hit it threads,' they have a service that can not appeal to the masses of GFY. If they start offering much reduced price points, then this type of marketing might make more sense. If they are discounting prices in return for spam threads, I would suggest they reexamine their marketing strategies in the 'tactical marketing' arena.

Traffic is traffic, it works for some, and for others it does not work. I doubt CT is lying for a reduced price point, if he is in the market of a 10K price point on traffic, I somehow doubt he is becoming a spam queen overnight for a discount.

A lot of great points on both sides of this traffic debate have been brought up in this thread making it very enjoyable and very much less on par with normal GFY threads. I would encourage more threads of this nature, not less. Franck is entitled to his opinions, but he comes off more abrasive than he likely is in person. DH is not putting anyone on thin ice, he is too busy buying him and his staff pirate outfits and a pirate plank.

Now, lets get this back on track if possible.

I totally not hate you guys...at all and if i can help you get more business then im happy for you :thumbsup


Edit: hundredfiddy haters

And i didnt bump it today...when i posted it was near the top.

Uh yeah :)

I will repost this :) Dont worry :)


to Brad Gosse: 3rd url is monstersofcock.com (bangbrosonline) - I dont know number of sales - They dont have campaign tracking feature..

:1orglaugh @ this thread

Yeah its quite funny.

bingo.... people do this in a lot of industries. I can't tell you how many times I see this.

Franck here is the million dollar question... how do you think they came up with their pricing? Seriously, how did they pick $10K..... they did a bunch of test and they probably made 8K from their own sponsors, so they figured we will do it for someone else and make more, guranteed. If that person turns a profit, then more power to them, if not we find 10 more like him to try it.

How else would they pick 10K?? They know what they can make from it, trust me. If they could make 12K doing it themselves they would be selling it for 15K....

A lot of advertisers on Google are not affiliates, google can't own every company in the world. A lot of people on the Hun don't make money, same logic applies to to them from what p2p is doing, he has his prices set just high enough... all most all companies do this.

people dont go to p2p to spend money its freeloader central, the only benefit I can see is to send it to pop up hell to clean it to niche toplist traffic.

And what's a TGP? LOL!

DH

what's that word I'm looking for?



touche'



lol, seriously...were there ever any pretenses about this being SE traffic? I missed that day...


:pimp

Its not the same people go to p2p for free shit be it music ,software, videos. they are not people who spend money. You know this, I wonder if one spent 10 grand in a month on google ad words what their results would be compared to p2p?
