Can someone show me their Ads result from ValePTR Contest Emails since i receive quite a lot of contest emails and few points/cash emails.

Is it much more beneficial to spend my ads budget on Contest Emails or Guaranteed clicks? Thanks

[surfjunky]

I currently have 1 Contest Email running at Vale (for PokerPTR). Here are my last 5 days results:

You will note that there are hits from all tiers.

Don't pay too much attention to the number of valid hits, as I am advertising PokerPTR at multiple sites so there is bound to be an element of duplicate hits.

You will get approx +/- 100 hits per day, equating to 3,000 hits per 30 day ad at a cost of $0.80 plus fees ($1.13)

Personally, I'd recommend that you consider spending $0.01 more, and opt for 3 x "2pts PTC to 1000 tier 1&2 - 9 sec - $0.27" ($1.14 inc fees)

Here is an sample of my results from that advertising - using 1centmail as an example:

Apart from a couple of loose canons, virtually all are T1/2 hits.
(Plus, as all my ads achieve roughly the same amount of hits per day, don't forget you would be getting 3 times the amounts shown above for your 3 ads)

As with PokerPTP, I am advertising 1cent mail at multiple sites, so again, ignore the valid hits as I do expect an element of duplication.

To sum up, although it may take a few days longer to achieve the anticipated 3,000 hits, the overall gain of having the higher concentration of T1/2 hits, in my opinion, makes this a better choice of ad.


Good luck

Thank you for the ad results.

And a nice comparison between the 2pt ptc for Tier 1/2 - i might look into that option but for now,its the contest emails for me,i'm afraid since it looks much better for me. Much faster cashflow than the other option.

What is also interesting is that those contest emails have more or less 2500-3000 clicks a month, I always wondered what chance we had to win one of those as a clicker .... Contest Email sent out daily for 30 days, 6 winners will get 10c each:

So it is approximately 1 chance per +/- 450-500 clicks, so if we go with the stats, every click is worth more or less 1/50th of a cent ....

I guess that means that is you click every day, your chance to win is about 6% or 1:~16.6? So if you click 17 of these every day, you should win *something* on average once a month?

(not sure if I counted it right, my way of counting was: 1% of clicks in a month are yours, 30 out of 3000, so with 6 winners that gives you a 6% chance)

I'm curious as I never click the contest emails, but my new Vale referral dared me to outclick him next month, so I probably will click these.

[Sophieca]

LOL, it's a way of seeing it too yes

But these are only stats, the truth is that it is more like a lottery lol, you also might click 3000 and have nothing and your ref clicking 10 and wins .....

I have experienced that before with PTC contest, I sit clickign alone, I see the count go down :
Every 15 clicks one winner will be chosen randomly to get the prize ( .xxc Contest PTC Prize ).
Last winner: xxx
Next winner in 14 clicks.

Next winner in: 13 clicks.

Next winner in: 12 clicks.

etc ...
at 1 click, I have no ads to click on anymore, then I see someone starting clicking and .. they win 
I had 14 chances out of 15 and they had one .. but theirs was the good one
This works the other way round too of course, sometimes I am the one coming in and winning

So basically, it is still a lottery but it helps to calculate the 'statistical average' value of the click .......... 

At Vale, the good thing that I take into account is that it counts for the total clicks and so for the click bonus

[Triskell]

I know, but as I would click these anyway, it's just nice to know that apart from giving me a higher monthly click bonus, they will also give me a realistic chance to win something.
