Any players in the EDU space? I have a few sites I've developed and I now have organic traffic coming in. Presently monetizing with QuinnStreet widget but curious if that's the best way to go. I'm wondering if anybody here has experience with different vendors/providers or perhaps even lead sales. Would love to hear your thoughts if you have something valuable to say.
 


You can always run the traditional CPA's; display deals are getting harder and harder to find for display and when they are available they are super restrictive with the banners / placements.
 
I'd look at running traditional CPA EDU offers. Like Ryan said, they are getting harder to come by but if you can provide even a small enrollment rate, you're golden... like a retriever.
 
Also own my own EDU call center (250+ seats) and have mobile optimized offers and have some allocation for banner / display traffic. Either way, anyone with EDU sites thats generating data - please hit me up as I need more EDU data.
 
You're going to want to work with any vendor that can provide access to your enrollment data on a regular basis. CUnet is fairly good about this. As the other poster mentioned once your enrollment rate is well off you're pretty much in at that point. Eventually down the line if you build your business correctly you should be working towards direct relationships with the schools themselves. Often vendors and competitors all want the same thing and everyone essentially is competing to be higher up on the food chain. You really just need to be compelling in your offer and understand the enrollment process.
 
I'm going to give CUnet a try. Any thoughts or comments on Collegebound or edusearch? Any of them better than others?
 
can you suggest CPA networks offering 'traditional CPA EDU offers'?

I have some EDU offers, but to be honest having them on network attracts a pile of fraud guys, so I'm not keen on pushing them or publicising.

Payouts aren't as good as they were this time 2 years ago either.
