Disclaimer: All stats in this post are TrafficVance estimates.
TrafficVance is growing at rates too big to ignore, flexing their muscles with 40-50MM unique users.
I’ve been running with TrafficVance since 2008. I’ve always had the assumption (yes I was possessed by the assumption devil) that TrafficVance would be heavily skewed towards younger demographics. My thinking was that it was the tweens and teenagers downloading all adware since it was usually packaged with games. I was wrong…
Below is the TrafficVance breakout of age groups:
Although stats for people 17 and below are not included in this pie chart. I got confirmation that the vast majority of TrafficVance users are within the 25-44 age bracket. Around 60% of users are between 25-44. This explains why auto insurance, education, credit repair and submits (Walmart, Target, Best Buy, groceries and Dell) are the offers killing it on TrafficVance.
There is a large percentage of 100k+ household income users that are often overlooked. The most attention is given to users in the low income bracket. There is potential to make waves with golf, wine, and travel offers etc.
ONLINE USAGE:
- 70% are online every day
This stat is extremely important. Pay attention to your “individual user cap“. So many people just ignore this feature. You are losing a lot of money if you have set it to the default 24hrs.
EDUCATION:
- 54% have some college or higher.
FAMILY STATUS:
- 63% are married
- 60% have children
ONLINE SHOPPING BEHAVIOR:
- 70% shopped online in the last 30 days.
Good to know! That’s exactly why targeting checkout pages converts like David Beckham in the 90s.
TRAFFIC SHARE BY BID POSITION:
- 1st – 35-40% of traffic
- 2nd -25-30% of traffic
- 3rd – 15-20% of traffic
- However there are a lot of variables that can skew these stats. For example the amount of bidders or whether it’s a root keyword (credit as opposed to credit card).
If you ever get caught up in a bidding war and come out as the victor, let it simmer for a few days. Once you are stable at first place, slowly decrease your bids. You might find that the person you were bidding against has disappeared off the radar. The difference between bidding 0.02 and 0.04 is huge in terms of the outcome of a campaign.
Last note:
We all talk about distracting, shocking, and interrupting a user when using PPV. Next time you design a lander take a look at a color wheel like this and pick out opposing colors. Its a great start to get CTRs up.
Lorenzo, this info is huge..thanks for sharing dude!
2010 Blogger Of The Year: Lorenzo
this post is a gold mine. Thanks for sharing
Hey Lorenzo, so you say that the demographics information are estimates. Is TV the source of these estimates or a service like quantcast? I just want to try to get a bead on the accuracy of the information presented or if it's really a stab in the dark.
Thx man, love the content btw… Corey
@ Corey – TrafficVance are the source of these estimates.
Great info, thanks.
Great post Lorenzo…Thanks!
Epic as always.
kudos.
next post, pricing formula and calculating optimal pricing strategies for ppv?
If Lorenzo laid down that kind of knowledge our feeble brains might explode on impact.
Pinnacle Award for Blogger of the Year 2010 is in the bag. Step aside Murray.
Lorenzo,
Hey thanks for giving so much info on PPV. I'm currently implementing your strategies an adding my own twist to some of it!
Great info- would love to see an old ppv campaign detailed from beginning to end, especially the testing process!
Placement testing, landers etc etc…
A useful blog post by an affiliate? SERIOUS MINDFUCK

Hi, hi Lorenzo – great information. Do you have any similar data for MediaTraffic?
Thanks, Belinda
Looking to run my first TrafficVance campaign. I Googled "trafficvance demographics" to get an idea of who I'd be advertising to. I was glad to see your articles as the 3rd and 4th results on the first page. You're providing a true service to us all, Lorenzo. Keep it up, bro!
I gather this is somewhat old post. I was trying to figure out what % of the traffic is women… Planning to promote some offers specific to women and will test it out soon. But does some one know if those offers work?
you say not to leave the default user cap at 24hrs so what do you reccomend we set it to?
Try 72.

I didnt understand the last comment though:

DO you mean desiging a lander with an oppisite color to the publisher's lander?
Great effort done, thanks for sharing the info with demo.
Cool tip, I just opened my first Traffic Vance account and am going to run so wild landing pages (purple/yellow landers).
