It's A Few Months In, And Pay Per Play Still Isn't Operational..

It’s been a story of delays. First, they said it’d be ready within a week, then a month, and now, over 2 months on, here we are, still not fully operational.

As I’ve already said, I dislike Pay Per Play massively, and this is a great chance for me to insult it yet again, because they’ve spectacularly failed to keep to their own set deadlines, and emails keep being sent out, saying “this week” , “this week”

Even my friend, who swore by it, is getting bored of waiting now, that’s how bad he thinks it’s got :|

Buck your act up PPP, or, even better, die out totally.

Pay Per Play Ads? Say NO!

Well, at least I think it’s a bad idea.
I’m sure you have seen it somewhere, some clever person thought of paying publishers to force their audience to listen to 5 second ads, every time their page loads.
I could be wrong, but I think it’s a pathetic excuse for advertising, you are forcing your audience to listen to something that they may or may not want to listen to, and I think that’s sure to drive traffic away from your site.
I can assure you that GPearce will never show or load these ads.
I also wonder who will buy PPP ads, because there is no link for them to click, and as the website say, from the impressions you pay for, you get about 40% of people who hear the start of the ad, and probably under 10% who hear it out, which won’t bring very good conversion rates :S
So why are so many people signing up to it? :(
