Has anyone heard of cpvmarket? http://www.cpvmarket.com
"With Cost-Per-View (CPV), you pay only when we serve your web page to a user based on the keywords and URLs that you specify."
If you watch their demo, they show that your website will popup if someone searches for your keyword in google or yahoo... any thoughts?

I love when these types call our business.
I ask them a few things
1. Does this only work if a plugin/software is installed on a person's browser
2. Does Nortan, Mcaffee, spybot or other scumware detecting clients detect and remove their plugin/software. (emphasize the word scumware or spyware if they choke up on the phone, hang up)
3. How does a user get the plugin/software to enable the popup or "viewing" of your ad.
4. Why would I want to spend money on marketing via a scumware/spyware program when there is an ongoing and active campaign that is running to wipe this type of advertisting out.
5. Will the majority of traffic I get all come from India, Indonesia and China? (If they don't laugh hang up)
I've never had a salesman sell me on this yet. :D

Yeah, it sounded a lot like some type of spyware.
BTW, they sent us the following email...
Subject: CPV Market
Hello,
My name is Jennifer and I'm an account manager at CPVMarket.com. I see that you are currently bidding for terms on Overture and Google. I can offer you a much more targeted and cost effective alternative, called CPV. I just wanted to send you some basic information on our program, and give you something to see exactly what it is we do
What is CPV?
Cost-Per-View (CPV) provides the advertiser with a unique method of promoting their website through a user conducted search of relevant keyword terms or phrases on a major search engine or through an address bar search. This new and distinctive way to deliver traffic to your site increases value to you, the advertiser, by bypassing a cluttered page of competitor result listings and taking the user directly to your web site featuring exactly what it is they were searching for.
Our advertising network reaches over 30 million unique users and delivers a significant volume of targeted traffic to a number of the other advertisers that you compete against on Overture.
We give you access to exclusive inventory throughout or entire network. Over 500 million searches are conducted each month. You set the price for each of your targeted key words, and we offer ROI tracking, and daily spending caps, to allow you to see how well each individual keyword is converting for you. Our parameters are very reasonable ($100 minimum) and we are currently running a promotion that would match your first $100, with our own $100.
Currently, terms are going for $3.15-$1.50+ per click on Overture, while on CPV Market, these same terms are $0.02, per VIEW.
There would be no fees or costs, and every penny you spend goes directly towards traffic, on your campaign.
Feel free to take a look at our demo, and see exactly how CPV works: http://www.cpvmarket.com/oo/cpvMarket_demo_e.html
If you register yourself, use Coupon Code 3002A, on the registration page to take advantage of our $100 match promo. I look forward to our working together!
Thanks,
Jennifer
They also list some popular "clients" on their website. I was curious whether those were trustworthy.
