Media Buys or PPC/PPV?

[K]

im sure alot of people have had success with both but ive been thinking of which to approach first and i think im going to have ago at media buys

ive read some guides but what advice can people offer me?

PPV is a lot more forgiving. Unless you want to email hundreds of webmasters trying to negotiate a cheap buy.

Chad Hamzeh recommends this, and it might not be a bad idea for you to try. Just use your most proven ad images and text from Facebook or POF and split-test.

Yeah so everyone is saying use POF first!

If you have $1000, go for trafficvance

Isnt it a risk putting in $1k tho if im relatively new to ppc?

I really wanna just try media buys on a lesser level - hit up some smaller sites using adsense and offer them more for my banners!

He's talking about PPV, not PPC. It's pretty cheap to test, your 1k will stretch far.

Why Adsense? The pay-off wouldn't be worth it unless you have very high CPC keywords.

I think im going with LeadImpact - $200 to start

sensible choice?

im a little wary of PPV as ie never really done it before - do i need to get pop ups designed etc?

any guides or tips would be great...

Media buys are more for the experienced affiliate; PPC (social) is a great place for beginners to get started.

Hi Ryan,

Would you elaborate more on PPC (social).
