Yes it's normal because when you send people straight to the sales page, they think that it's a scam. You can find here lost of threads about direct linking and most of them have the same problem like yours.
Suggestion: You should warm visitors firstly by creating a landing page and then sending them to the sales page or collecting leads.
Well, i think it is traffic source. I am no PPV expert but i heard traffic from DirectCPV are mostly low quality.
you should give leadimpact or trafficvance a try![]()
LeadImpact min deposit is $1k and trafficvence need invitation so no need even to thinks
If i tried DirectCPV is because i don't have requirements for other PPV networks
OP, any updated? I want to know whether you have earned money from PPV.
