You
can see with this example there are two PTP links one marked as
"PTP-Upgraded" that's for members that have purchased an upgrade at the
site, and PTP-All Members. If you have not purchased an upgrade make
sure you use the right one.
Some sites
will offer additional banners to use within this section and some sites
list all the banners in your members referral center section. The main
thing to remember when using PTP is that use the correct URL at the
correct time. To help me I list the PTP link on the same document that
has the rest of my ref banners and URL's but I bold the PTP and display
it in a different color. By doing that way, it is easier for me to
select the appropriate link that I need.
Each
site will offer different PTP rates, one site may state a $0.60 CPM,
whilst another offers $0.80. Each view of your PTP will earn a
specified number of credits. How many credits depends on where the
viewer is located. A user in the UK will earn more credits per view for
you as they are in a Tier 1 country, whilst a member in China will earn
you less credits for the same view as they are in a Tier 4 country.
All
the information about how that program defines their Tiers is listed
under "Tiers Info", this is broadly the same for most sites but its
always best to double check first. For this reason most members will
try and target their views to Tier 1 and 2 countries, therefore earning
them more credits per view. Each site will convert the credits to cash
at a different rate, so you need to check that before you start your
campaign as well.
You must always check
the conditions of use for the PTP feature at each individual site, some
programs require you to click a certain number of links, whilst others
may have no conditions.
Once you know where
to advertise and how much your credits are worth and how many credits
will be earned for the different Tiers you are ready to go. You can
either buy advertising for you PTP ads, you can use click exchanges
(you will click another members PTP link and in return they will click
yours), you can list them in your signature at forums, or you can use
traffic exchanges. Most people will use a combination of all these, but
what you must ensure is that you are only using approved sites for
displaying you link. If you use a site that is not on this list, every
view received will be invalid. You can see what percentage of invalid
hits (along with all the other information you need) by clicking
"Statistics", always check back here regularly, try and keep you
"Invalid" stats as low as possible because some owners may suspend your
PTP page if this percentage gets to big. Again this can vary from site
to site.
Even if you are not ready to use
the PTP feature of your sites still create a new section on your site
called "Paid To Promote", then list all of the sites you are a member
of that offer this feature in the same way you have created the Paid To
Read section, again linking to the site via your ref link - not your
PTP link - as this could gain you more members in your down-line.
