miva.com PPC Network

[DaveH]

Anyone used miva.com from an advertiser point of view? If so what were your results like?

I've got a $50 free if I deposit $30 but don't want to waste the cash if it's all worthless traffic.

Cheers

From my perspective and that of my friends, the traffic is very poor quality. We have burnt huge sums with MIVA UK and USA over several years and, despite utilising their targeting features, the traffic converts abysmally compared to the Tier 1 PPC search engines.

With MIVA USA, for instance, we selected to receive no traffic from Europe for some of our websites, but were still paying for lots of visitors from low grade sites in Romania and Russia.

Worse thing is things are deteriorating...

Wow! I'm sure glad I posted this up.

Thanks for the valuable feedback Azam.biz

yes - thanks for this - I was trying to deicde whether to sign up and try a campaign, but this has put me off. I was delaying it as there was no easy way to see KW prices etc.

Yep agree with Azam - I woudl only use under extreme circumstances :| or when i can buy in at 1p or 2p

They do have a certain "quality" filter you can ask to be placed on which does remove a large chunk of dodgy affiliate partner sites.

Between 1p and 3p we've seen okay ROI.... but there's only so many of those keywords. The rest are 10p which I have no idea who makes an ROI on.
