| Campaigns |
|
| How do I start a campaign? |
|
Once you have created your goviral network account and had all relevant websites verified by our
team, you will then have access to a list of all available campaigns for you to promote
and you can take as many or as few campaigns as you require.
To promote a campaign, simply copy the embed code from the list and publish in your
sites adserving system or directly in to the HTML.
|
| What type of campaigns will I get? |
|
goviral network specializes in branded content placement with the main medium being video,
then games then widgets and applications.
|
| Can I select the campaigns I want to publish? |
|
Yes, you decide which campaigns you want to promote and can take as many or as few
campaigns as you require.
|
| How will I know when goviral network has new campaigns? |
|
Everytime a new relevant campaign launches on goviral network, we will send you an email to
inform you. The new campaign will automatically be available in your account
|
| Why do I see flags opposite to each campaign in my account? |
|
The flags represent the countries targeted by that campaign and you will be paid for
all video views / game plays / widget interactions generated by the users originating
from those countries.
|
| Am I required to commit to deliver certain volumes? |
|
There are no commitments required as goviral network pays publishers on performance through a
Cost Per Click (Cost Per View and Cost Per Play) basis, meaning you earn money on the
volume you deliver.
|
| My website does not have a lot of traffic from the countries listed next to the campaign, can I still promote the campaign? |
|
Yes, the branded content goviral network places is typically of high entertainment value to end
users so although you won't be able to generate a lot of revenue on that campaign you
will still.
|
| Can I adserve your campaigns? |
|
Yes, the goviral network embed code can be use in adservers.
|
| Will the campaign content disappear once the campaign has finished? |
|
The campaign content is never deleted so your website can display the content for as
long as you want. This ensures the user experience is not affected and will also ensure
your still benefit from the search engine placements around the content driven by in
bound links.
Naturally as each content advertiser has a fixed budget and duration for the campaign,
you will not earn revenue for any views, clicks or plays after the campaign has finished.
As soon as a campaign has finished, you will receive an email from goviral network announcing this and
also you will see the status of campaigns in your interface.
|
| Where do you see the finish date for a campaign? |
|
Yes, although the finish date is approximate. As each campaign has a finite budget attached
to it and goviral network pays publishers on performance, it's impossible to predict the exact
finish date. In your account you can view the available funds left for a campaign so
you can estimate when the campaign will be finishing too.
|
| What do you mean by "available funds"? |
|
Available funds is the value given to the amount of advertising budget remaining for the campaign you are viewing.
|
| Can I promote a campaign even though it has finished? |
|
Yes, if you believe the branded content could be of value to your website users
feel free to promote the content. Additionally, many publishers attract in bound
links to their pages where useful branded content has been posted, so although you
do not generate any revenue from campaigns which have finished you can benefit in
other ways.
|
|
| Formats and Material |
|
| Do I need to host your videos/games/widgets? |
|
No, you don't. We do that for you.
|
| Do I need a website which supports streaming video to publish your videos on my website? |
|
No, you don't. Our videos and other creatives (such as games and widgets) come with an embed code, which can be easily posted on most websites.
|
| The advertising formats you provide don't match my website, can you help? |
|
If you can't find a format that suits your website, feel free to contact us
at publishing@goviral.com and if
possible we will create a format for you.
|
| Am I allowed to modify the format of the creative you provide? |
|
No, but goviral network offer a number of different formats and dimension sto choose from.
|
| Am I allowed to modify the title, tags and description of the content? |
|
Yes, this is fine but you must accurately reflect the content of the material and present
the brand advertised in the best possible way.
|
| My website uses its own video player, can I still work with goviral network? |
|
|
|
| Am I allowed to set videos to "Auto play" |
|
No. goviral network only allows video content to be used on a "Click to Play" basis, the user has to press the play button for any views to be paid.
|
| How does the Syndicated Player work? |
|
The Syndicated Player will automatically select relevant video campaigns to the location
of the current user viewing the page where the player is being hosted on your website.
If the user is located outside of all target markets then the Syndicated Player will call
the default adserving tag you have specified instead.
|
| Do I need to provide a fallback adserving tag? |
|
It is not required to provide a fallback adserving tag because the Syndicated Player
will always show relevant campaigns for target countries which you are paid for.
It is good practice to set up a fallback adserving tag which will show your default
adverts in the event goviral network is not able to target a campaign against the country of
the user on the site. This method could enable you to still monetize the visitor even
though they are outside of the target country.
|
| How long can I promote the Syndicated Player for? |
|
The Syndicated Player will monetize your websites continually as goviral network automatically
pushes new campaigns on to your site as they are launched.
|
| How many videos or games will be available in the Syndicated Player? |
|
The Syndicated Player will push video and game campaigns specific to your website audience,
channel and the country of the user so the number of campaigns will depend on these factors.
|
| Can I remove certain campaigns / material from the widget? |
|
No, the Syndicated Player does not enable custom administration of the campaigns at this time.
|
|
| Reporting and Tracking |
|
| How often are my reports updated? |
|
goviral network updates the publisher reports every hour.
|
| What will I see in my reports? |
|

|
| When does goviral network count a view? |

video player and the video content has loaded its first frame. It is not required for
the user to watch the entire video for a billable view to be counted.
goviral network will not count duplicate views of the same content from the same user during a
short period of time.
goviral network will also exclude views generated by search engine robots, malicious robots and
automated scripts through a sophisticated series of checks.
|
|
| Payments and Earnings |
|
| What will you pay me for? |
|
goviral network pays publishers for the total number of video plays which your websites generated
for all campaigns you worked on. goviral network is a performance based advertising model which
pays publishers a fixed level of money for each video view or play generated.
|
| How much do you pay for each video play? |
|
Video campaigns vary in budget size and amount paid per play.
|
| When do I get paid? |
|
goviral network pays publishers monthly. The minimum payment amount is
€50. When your account balance has reached €50, you will be paid on the
22nd of the following month, provided that you have approved your
provisional invoice by the 15th - otherwise your payment processing will
be moved to the next month and you will be paid when the above conditions
are met. For example, you will be paid for your June activities on the
22nd of July should your balance be at least €50 at the end of June and
you approved your invoice by the 15th of July.
|
| How do I get paid? |
|

you selected under your payment options. Every month, goviral network automatically creates
an online invoice for you in your account which you then approve and submit back
to our system at which point the payment is processed for you.
|
| What do I earn per campaign? |
|
The amount you earn per campaign depends on the size of the budget available as
there is typically no maximum amount you could earn.
|
| What ways can I increase goviral network revenue? |
|
The most successful way to increase the amount of revenue you earn is to place the
player in areas more likely to be viewed by people on your site. Because the goviral network
video player looks like content, not advertising, you can place the player in areas of
your content, on the homepage sections and other high traffic high value areas.
As a general rule the most successful areas are above the fold on your site in the
middle of the page, then the top right hand side of the page.
The next general rule is that different types of site require different placement
optimization, and this can only be calculated from experience. If you have a blog,
forum, content site, niche site or premium site please get in touch and our team can
provide you with live examples of the most successful implementation in your area.
Finally, if you complete the website information forms you will be served more campaigns
specifically targeted to match your site audience developing a much higher click-to-play rate.
