Well, either way I'll just post the questions here. It might be useful for some other guys.

1 - So, can we upload creatives as Animated gifs, in POF? Or just static images?

2 - When I create a campaign, I can see that I have two creatives options: Small Ad (110x80) and Small Banner (310x110).
But if I read the dimension of the supported creatives, in the Help page, I can see that there are no Small Banner with 310x110.

Thanks

Paul

Hey Paul, thanks for breaking the ice with the first questions!

1. Yes we allow animated gifs but only in the IAB banners. The IAB banners come with a $1000 deposit and have a max file size of 50kb. The rule w/ animated gifs is 2 second delay between frames, this is to prevent those super flashy annoying ads from being uploladed.

2. See #1

Cheers!

Hey Ben

Thanks for your reply. I guess I've not made myself clear with the second question.

When creating a campaign, I can choose between two options: Small Ad or Small Banner.
I choose Small Banner (310x110).

But if I go to your Help page, I cannot see that banner format:

Uploading Your Creatives

The PlentyOfFish Ad Server is capable of handling images of the following size:

110x80px
300x250px
160x600px
728x90px

 

[exeight]

Taken from their help pdf:

6) Why can’t I see 300x250, 160x600 and 120x600 ads?
These ad sizes are only available to advertisers who have spent over $1,000 in the ad platform. Once
you reach this number, these ad sizes will be available when you create a new campaign.

 

[pfaria]

Sure. Silly of me Thanks exeight

 

[blillard]

Great to see you here as well Ben, you're always a great sight to see on a forum.

 

[mtmjohn]

So glad to see you here Ben. My question: what verticals/offers (except dating) are converting well on POF? Thank you

I choose Small Banner (310x110).

But if I go to your Help page, I cannot see that banner format:

Right, this is because you haven't hit $1000 in deposit. Once you have, you will be given the option to create a campaign for the IAB standard ads instead of automatically going to the 110x80 and 310x110 campaign

So glad to see you here Ben. My question: what verticals/offers (except dating) are converting well on POF? Thank you

Health and Beauty, "how to pick up girls" products (see clickbank), EDU, Zodiac, shopping offers... your first campaign on POF should be dating though.. its easiest to monetize.

So for Dating better to use a LP or Direct-Linking ?
Thank you

 

[coronaborcalis]

If you are new with POF I suggest you just do Direct-Linking and if you find the offer can give you some potential gold mine then try to make landing page to maximize your profit

So for Dating better to use a LP or Direct-Linking ?
Thank you

 

[benpof]

Exactly. You never know if your lander is good/bad unless you compare results to your direct link

Check the comments section of this blog post. Maybe Ben can confirm if it is still okay to sign up under an alternate country today.

 

[benpof]

Hey guys, yes you can sign up under an alternate country and it will create the account OK. You will mostly likely run into issues with the credit card and if you do, please email me at ben@Pof.com and I'll give you our Paypal option (minimum $50 deposit).
