Update your TrafficVance Campaigns Today!

The minimum bid went up to $0.011 effective yesterday. If you've got campaigns running you will need to go in and raise your bids on all URLs that are bid at $0.01 (the previous minimum). They have made this simple, all you need to do is go into each creative's keyword list, and the ones that need to be raised will all be auto-selected for you. All you need to do is hit the "Bid Selected" button and it will raise them all to the new minimum.

Do this today, otherwise you won't be getting any traffic on these URLs and keywords!

Or just go into Target Optimization tool and click Bid Selected to update all of them at once.

Nice I didn't think to do that!

It's so crazy how one business can just increase there worth with a simple move like that.

0.1 of a cent might not seen much off the bat but when you deliver the tonne of volume TV does shizeeeeen.

Yeah it's a sweet little padding of their pocket book for absolutely zero work. That's why building platforms = banking.

It was inevitable. TV is seen as the top network and they have the cheapest views. I'm surprised its taken them this long. Any news on what's happened to international rates?

They increased 100% for international one.
It used to be $0.005 it is now $0.01

You will still get traffic if you don't change your bid. I have a lot of keywords with good traffic an no competition so I left mine at .01 Same for international if you leave it at .05 you can still get the same traffic at a lower price.

Haha oops I guess I didn't actually test that out... Nice call!

How is TV INTL Traffic ?

06-23-2011 05:02 PM #12 gooddrewman (Member)

There's not as much much volume as lead impact and it is limited to UK, CA, AU, NZ. It converts pretty good though.

Thanks- will give it a try , Used to soley run LI for INTL traffic - becoming very diffucult to make money when you are getting charged 20 % more for views i dont see at network or on P202 or CPVLAB .

A thing I noticed is that since moving to a powerful dedicated the discrepancy is lower.

I now get charged between 10%-12% more than what I see on my P202.

So most probably it's not LI "shaving" but users closing pops too fast and the javascript that tracks doesn't have the time to load.

What server company and specs did you go with? I'm considering ramping mine up as well...

I have a few campaigns that my bids range anywhere between .02 -.055 . And the targets that are the higher bids (.055) are not high volume targets but they convert well , I looked at click/view difference at a KW/URL level and it was my top 3 bids had the largest variance . So this seemed fishy to me because being a numbers guy I am expecting the larger volume targets to have the bigger variance. At the time I was running Storm and it had nothing to do with Server as I wasn’t pushing a tremendous amount of volume , grant it this a very small sample 2 campaigns . But fishy none the less , I plan one trying so more INTL camps and will see if this trend continues for me .
