What is CPV?
Cost-Per-View (CPV) provides the advertiser with a unique method of promoting their website through a user conducted search of relevant keyword/target terms or phrases on a major search engine (Search Keyword Pop CPV) or through an address bar search (Address Bar CPV). This new and distinctive way to deliver traffic to your site increases value to you, the advertiser, by bypassing a cluttered page of competitor result listings and taking the user directly to your web site featuring exactly what it is they were searching for.

Why is there a 1 - 2 day approval process before my account is active?
After registering and setting up your account, a client service representative reviews your listings and the keywords/URL targets associated with those listing. The goal is to ensure that that your keyword/target information is relevant to the content found on your site. It's also very important to us to ensure that adult related listings do not show up for terms that are inappropriate.

What are your listing guidelines?
Keywords/URL Targets
1. You may bid on a keyword/target only if the Web site for which it is being bid upon is reasonably related to the products or services on your website.
2. You may bid on a "location only" keyword/target such as 'Florida' or 'Palm Beach' only if your Web site has a reasonable amount of content about that location or information about an attraction, event, or activity that occurs at that location. Locations can be used in conjunction with another word, for example, 'Phoenix golf'.
3. The word 'free' on its' in conjunction with another word can only be used if the visitor can actually get something free at your Web site.
4. The word ‘free’ as well as superlatives (best, cheapest, greatest etc.) may not be used by themselves.
5. Adult sites are allowed, however, only obviously adult-related keywords/target will be accepted. Generic terms may not be used for adult - related sites.
6. Websites promoting the following are strictly prohibited: child pornography; abuse of children, women and animals, hate or intolerance against any race/nationality, violence, and criminal activity.
7. Symbols (!$%#) are not allowed. Keywords/URL Targets can have no more than 1 exclamation point. However, common uses of ampersands are acceptable (Barnes&Noble, etc.).
URL's
1. URLs must be functional and lead to an active page. "Under Construction" pages are not considered active pages.
2. You may not disable the 'back button' in the user's browser.
3. The maximum character length for URLs is 200 characters.

Tips for Choosing Keywords/URL Targets & Writing Effective Listings
1. Choosing more generic terms will help drive traffic.
2. You should consider bidding on both the singular and plural versions of keywords/URL targets, for example, 'cleveland grocery store' and 'cleveland grocery stores'.
3. You can include an unlimited number of keywords/URL targets and listings at no charge. The greater the keyword/target coverage that you use, the more success that you are likely to experience.
4. The best landing pages for your account are clear, concise and attractive to users.

How much does CPV Cost?
In general, the price for Cost-Per-View advertising will be a fraction of what an advertiser would normally pay for CPC. This is because CPV is considered a more general source of traffic than CPC. As a rule of thumb, the minimum pricing range for CPV is $.005-$.03. However, with more popular keywords/URL targets, the minimum pricing may be higher.

How do I get top position for a keyword/target?
Cost-per-view traffic is provided to the top three bidders for each keyword/target. For this reason, it is important to have competitive bid prices. To view your bid prices in comparison to other advertisers with the same keywords/URL targets, we provide a CPV Outbid report. To maintain a top position, it is recommended that you check this report often to make sure you are in the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd bidding spot for each keyword/target.

How does the CPV Keyword/Target System work?
The Keyword/Target System requires that an advertiser register specific keywords/URL targets and place a bid per click associated with each keyword/target. When a consumer enters text containing these keywords/URL targets, an immediate pop-up is delivered. Pop-up (CPV) traffic is determined by bid price, if you are in the top 3 bidders for the keyword/target, your website will be in the rotation when a user searches for that keyword.

How do I track views from my <%=CobrandMap.getCobrandName(strServerName)%> account?
<%=CobrandMap.getCobrandName(strServerName)%> provides your listings quality traffic and gives you access to millions of AdOn Network consumers every day.

In order to properly track the consumers coming from our network, we recommend that you change the URL that you submit to <%=CobrandMap.getCobrandName(strServerName)%>.

Click on the Edit Your Listings link to change the URL(s) you have submitted to a Tracking URL. This will allow you to more accurately count the amount of traffic you receive from <%=CobrandMap.getCobrandName(strServerName)%>.

There are two different ways to set up your Tracking URLs. Below are a few simple instructions that will allow you to more easily track the traffic you receive from us. After creating your Tracking URL, we highly recommend testing each one to verify that it is linking properly.

Option 1
To change a URL such as http://www.mywebsite.com to a Tracking URL, add "?source=<%=CobrandMap.getCobrandName(strServerName)%> " to the end. The URL will look like this: http://www.mywebsite.com/?source=<%=CobrandMap.getCobrandName(strServerName)%>

Here's another example:
From: http://www.mywebsite.com/home/index.html
To: http://www.mywebsite.com/home/index.html?source=<%=CobrandMap.getCobrandName(strServerName)%>

If you find that a Tracking URL is not linking properly, you might want to eliminate the forward slash after the domain.

EXAMPLE:
http://www.mywebsite.com/?source=<%=CobrandMap.getCobrandName(strServerName)%> could also be written as
http://www.mywebsite.com?source=<%=CobrandMap.getCobrandName(strServerName)%>.

REMEMBER - IT IS IMPORTANT TO TEST THIS FUNCTIONALITY TO ENSURE CONSUMERS CAN PROPERLY ACCESS YOUR SITE.

Option 2
If the URL already has a question mark in it, you will have to add "&source=<%=CobrandMap.getCobrandName(strServerName)%> " to the end

EXAMPLE:
From: http://www.mywebsite.com/search.cgi?q=computer
To: http://www.mywebsite.com/search.cgi?q=computer&source=<%=CobrandMap.getCobrandName(strServerName)%>

If the URL has a # sign, the "?source=<%=CobrandMap.getCobrandName(strServerName)%> " will need to be inserted before the # sign.

EXAMPLE:
From: http://www.mywebsite.com/#jewelry
To: http://www.mywebsite.com/?source=<%=CobrandMap.getCobrandName(strServerName)%> / #jewelry

Once you've converted the URL in your listings to a Tracking URL, you should be able to look for "source=<%=CobrandMap.getCobrandName(strServerName)%> " in your access logs. It should appear once for every clickthrough on one of your <%=CobrandMap.getCobrandName(strServerName)%> search results.
