Let the contextual traffic begin!
Well I finally started getting some traffic through the contextual adware networks. Media Traffic was definitely the quickest at getting back to me and even offering help. I met Basil from Media Traffic at Affiliate Summit and he has been nothing more than helpful along the whole path of getting things converted over for testing.
One thing I have run into so far is that this network doesn’t pass on a referral URL. Instead they use a different method to send on the variable so you know where the traffic is coming from. Because of this me and my programmer have been working on modifying the script so that it is compatible "out of the box" with this sort of traffic. I will probably be putting in a lot of time this week yet testing everything out.
So far adding campaigns is way way easier then setting up a PPC campaign. Not only that but you don’t ever have to write ads, which is usually the longest and most tedious part of the process for me. I have noticed with adware traffic using the same keywords as my PPC campaigns wouldn’t really be possible in many cases. The way you target your traffic with contextual is yet very similar to PPC, but still different. These are the changes I am trying to adapt to throughout this whole process.
I haven’t showed INCREDIBLE results yet with this type of traffic, but am certainly seeing the opportunity if I can work everything out and play around with this for a week or two.
If any of you are testing out contextual traffic, leave a comment and let me know what your experience has been!

Hey Trev,
How is the Contextual Traffic project coming along? You haven’t posted about it in a few weeks. Making any profits? If so, what seems to be your ROI?
Thanks,
Jason G
please update
are u able to run out your daily budget ?
MT has been not a great run for me
@Jason the contextual traffic is going great. I moved from just testing contextual to testing any traffic sources though. I am making a lot of profits from it and my ROI really depends on the campaign.
@Secret Google Tactics I can EASILY run out of my faily budget, however at Mediatraffic the quality has gone down tremendously. I have switched over to some other networks that I am doing the majority of my volume at.
I have just started with contextual traffic sources. I created a campaign at MediaTraffic, but it was rejected because of the destination URL. I emailed today to see what the problem was, but have not heard anything just yet. I would love to hear what other sites you are advertising on.
Melissa, there are a few different sites out there you can be using. You could check out Trafficvance or Zango which are like Mediatraffic. There is also a company called Ice Water Media that has the same traffic and concept, except they fully manage everything, you don’t get to choose the keywords and urls you want your ads being displayed from.
Hi bro, i like the info in your blog, keep it up.
I have a question, do u know any other ‘adware traffic network’ besides zango, mediatraffic and adonnet? Im doing a research to start trying out this kind of traffic and I want to find the most places to get adware traffic i can.
thnkx
Thanks man, you could try Trafficvance and IceWaterMedia also. I believe they require quite a bit larger down payment then services like Zango and Mediatraffic.
