Have you heard about Pay Per Play yet?
A quick overview is this …
Publishers sign up as an affiliate, place a small piece of javascript on a page (or more if they choose) of their website or blog. Every time a new visitor visits a page with the code on it, they hear a quick 5 second advertisement. The program is similar to Google Adsense in the fact that first you get paid every time the ad is played and two, the ads are set to “fit your content”.
However, the difference from adsense is with adsense, visitors need to click on an ad for you to get paid and we don’t know exactly how adense is “figured” for your pay (for lack of better phrase). With PPP, publishers are paid every time the ad is played and you know you’re going to get 25% of what the advertiser pays. No guessing there.
My first initial reaction was … Hmm … nah, that’ll do nothing but annoy my visitors. Well luckily PPP has an excellent sales pages which enticed me enough to at least sign up and find out more. The sales page also had sample ads to listen to and had a sample ad I could play on a sample page of my website so I could see exactly how it sounds/works. I finally decided that no, I don’t think it will annoy my visitors.
I have no intentions of placing the code on every single page of my website - which is a guarantee annoyance in my opinion. I plan on putting it on a few select pages and the way I predict it (for my own site) is that most of my visitors will only hear one ad per visit to my website.
The reason I decided to join first then read more later is because for one reason … the way I like to research and test things properly is to actually be a part of it. The second reason is that while they’re in BETA and until they reach a certain number of members, all new members are a part of the “core members” group.
Core members are able to refer new members and build a downline of two levels. So, if I did decide to go through with it, I would not only earn 25% for myself but also 5% of what the advertiser pays in two levels. Again, they’re only allowing so many core members so I didn’t want to take a chance of not signing up in time to become a core member (if I’m going to do it … I’m going to do it right, lol!)
Once they have reached the maximum number of core members , people will still be able to join, they just won’t be able to build a downline. I figured … let’s at least get in there as a core member and then take it from there.
So I gave you all that info to get to the real point of my post here …
Is Pay Per Play the next Google Adsense
Embarking on a new way of advertising online
or ….
Is it a scam?
First of all … from what I’ve read/seen … my own personal opinion is no, it’s not a scam. I do not have any proof as of yet to say this for sure is not a scam but I will say I have a really good feeling and I feel fairly confident in saying so. I think it’s an absolutely fantastic opportunity from both ends … the affiliate AND the advertier.
I strongly believe that this is just the beginning of a great new way to advertise AND make money online.
However, there seems to be quite a few nay sayers out there. Apparently Net Audio Ads has a pretty poor reputation from the past. I’ll be honest … I’ve never even heard of Net Audio Ads or PPP until just recently so as far as how true that all is … I really can’t say. Apparently from what I’ve been reading, they attempted either the same thing or something similar in the past and it failed.
Well, again my own opinion but I’m certainly for second chances. I’d like to borrow something Rick London of http://article.affiliatesuccessbuilder.com/ “If everyone was a blinding success the first time with everything they did; I don’t think there would be much left for anyone to discover or profit from it in the future …”
I mean seriously, have YOU succeeded in everything you’ve attempted - especially the first time?
One thing I have picked up about all the “past”. They have certainly made one major change that makes me feel even better and more positive about this. They have the backing of one of the top 5 search engines this time This particular search engine has required to keep themselves un-disclosed until after the BETA (can ya blame them?) Well like I said, we’re not being told as of yet WHO this search engine is but … I have my own opinion (please note - MY OPINION) Let’s put it this way …
What major search engine is this going to be in direct competition with? What major search engine would be VERY smart to join forces … and quite frankly quite stupid to NOT do so, lol?
Again, there is NO proof to back that statement up - NONE. That’s my OWN PERSONAL OPINION (just covering my own rear there )
I myself have decided to continue as a core member. I’ve placed a couple of ads on my site and have done a minimal bit of advertising. Actually, I can’t even call what I’ve done as advertising. I’m sharing with my readers at places such as here, on our blog and MyWahmSpace.com. As far as “advertising” goes or putting anymore than a little bit of time … I’ve not done that. I also have chosen not to do so until after they’re out of BETA.
Any company, any opportunity … heck even a BETA email system ALWAYS has it’s chances. There’s always a chance it could all crash and burn. (I hope like heck it doesn’t of course, lol) But when you participate in ANY BETA program, you should ALWAYS take precaution. You should invest (if anything) a minimum amount of money and time.
As I said above, the reason I jumped was because first of all … I really do have a good feeling about this. Of course I can’t go full force into something just because I had a “gut feeling” but I do tend to listen to my gut Secondly, as I said … if this takes off the way it’s predicted to … Oh my gosh! Being a core member is a VERY good place to be sitting to say the least. And guess what? I wanna be there! Imagine this … what would give now to have been a “core member” when Google Adsense first started?
And this is the reason I decided to share with my friends here on the boards and a couple other hand-selected places is because … First of all, I know every single one of our readers are already making money OR are trying to make money online. Most of you already know how simple Google Adsense is … you place a code and you’re done. This is just the same, except you get paid for every visitor to whatever page you choose to place the code. For a change, you’re actually paid for your traffic.
So here’s my recommendation … if you’re even slightly interested … join now. Join now so you too can get in as a core member. However, please also take my advice and do move ahead with caution! This program is in BETA - and as I said, with BETA, you are taking the risk that it may fail. It’s free to join so if that’s all you do until they’re out of beta and fully running … no harm no foul.
You could also take it a step further and place the code on one single page of your website. It takes all of five minutes out of your time. Then you will be able to test it even further without much investment. So, if the worst case senerio happens … you’re out what? A whole 10 minutes (including sign up time).
But look at it this way … if this does take off … you’ll be sitting in a vey nice position and will be able to not only make money on your traffic but also the traffic of your downline. Is it worth ten minutes of your time?
Oh … you can sign up at http://www.mommyshelperonline.com/pay-per-play.html
You can hear a sample ad at http://www.mommyshelperonline.com/start-your-own-home-business2.html
(Please Note: That is a SAMPLE ad. I do NOT earn a commission if you click the link. PPP ads are also going to match your content - that ad, being a sample ad does not.) Not annoying at all, is it?
And just one more thing before I go. I DO have a bit of an ulterior motive here too. If this DOES take off the way it’s predicted … I NEED as many work at home mom sites playing these ads as possible because once they’re out of BETA, I’m not only going to be a publisher … I’m going to be an advertiser and I want my ad playing on YOUR site!
Take care,
