ok little update here on my first traffic buy in decades, got some cool banners made (thanks zuzana) and signed up for both exoclick and trafficjunky. a few initial hurdles with trafficjunky being in the USA you can only make a paxum business account, no personal accounts, so my loading option is only wire transfer, which is 1000 minimum so that will have to wait, and also it takes time for them to post and credit the wire (another week) so for now will be starting with exoclick.
setup the account, sent the banners up weeks ago, and only 1 of them is approved so far.
I loaded account with $200. Apparently my setup is all messed up because I have it set to pay $10 per click not .010 or whatever minimum bid is, so burned a quick $20 on the learning curve. 2000 impressions, 1 click, 20 bucks lol. Appears like traffic came from pornhub who i want to exclude. Ok so this needs to be adjusted so I paused the campaign.
gonna setup things to run weds-sun 10pm-3am in a few key market cities where most sales come from (usually where the content is filmed) and just running standard 300x250 box ads. any suggestions lmk, will report back with results. gonna ask them for help in setting up this to be continued...
