[edit] Advertiser Products
MIVA has three advertising products:
MIVA runs PPC Networks in US, UK, France, Germany, Spain and Italy. In Europe, MIVA displays advertisers’ brand logos as part of their Pay-Per-Click Ads.
MIVA was the first advertising network to market Pay-Per-Call Ads. Like Pay-Per-Click, advertisers bid for position in an auction and only pay when an Internet user calls their business.
In 2006, MIVA launched Pay-Per-Text Ads which provided advertisers a way to connect with consumers via SMS in conjunction with Britain's directory assistance, 118 118.
MIVA offers private label solutions to publishing partners looking to offer a performance advertising solution under their own brand. MIVA’s private label partners include Verizon Superpages.com and Eniro, a directory company in Scandinavia.
