I'm going to start testing the traffic flow there. I've bought a 1-month PTP ad in the member store for $5. I'll put the DLF page in there since it has a hit counter. I'm waiting for approval.
BTW, if you are going to buy traffic, buy from the member store and not the regular store. There are some great deals in there. Quite a few unlimited and pay per click banner ads
Also, it might be a good time to stock up on those longer-term (6 months to a year) unlimited view ads since they could be withdrawn or increased in price if the member base grows significantly
After testing it is sort of a mixed bag. What is good is very good. What is bad is very bad. The admin just wrote on the forum recently that their personal life is crashing down around them. This is usually a red flag but I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt and drop it to a yellow flag.
These problems, however, are causing traffic and ads to be delayed and not checked. This could lead to problems going forward.
So I've tried PTC, PTP, rotator, and banner ads.
The PTC is working fine and creating great ratios at R4A. I will say that the ad was approved before the admin announced their troubles so I don't know if it will be easy to get a new ad approved. This could also be a huge opportunity for those who do have ads approved since they will have less competition
About the time of the troubles, I submitted the PTP ad. I had to put in a ticket to get it checked and approved. All was well but I only got 14 hits the first day and then it stopped. I put in another ticket for that and have yet to hear so I suspect the troubles have caught up with them and they are now swamped. So PTP advertising is not going good
The rotator is the same. I put in an ad and am still waiting for approval. I won't send a support ticket until I hear better news in the forum for the owner. Not good.
Banners are working but, once again it was banners placed before the troubles so I don't know how well new ones will go. I would recommend banner advertising there. They place the banner in prime RE and my banner click ratio is acceptable
