1 · Trade zip campaigns

Each zip goes to the highest-paying buyer near it. T1 = $45+ (EA/Fortis $58, ACT $49, Remington $45) · T2 = under $45 (IEC/UEI/Sage, Northbridge, SON, Berkeley, SCI, CHCP, Ancora). Every new campaign gets a +20% multimedia bid adjustment. The subject ID sets the CEI lander.

No campus buyer, so these go to the national campaigns below: EMT, paramedic, personal trainer, vet tech, fire science, private investigator. Out entirely, because CEI only offers General Studies: gunsmith, locksmith, dog trainer, home inspector, wedding planner. CEI has no "Electrician" or "CNA" program; the closest are Electronic Engineering Tech (1076) and Patient Care Tech (1022).

2 · New trade schools from the CEI sweep: PARKED

They appear on our CEI form but haven't sold a lead from us since June. Excluded from the zip map for now. Each comes back once it shows up in Ventrix sales or Ventrix confirms its CPL (ask about Lincoln first). The table shows what each would add at a placeholder below every known buyer.

"Would add" means zips no known buyer covers. With a real payout above $27, Lincoln would also take zips from the lowest T2 buyers.

3 · National program campaigns (no zips)

One campaign per CEI area, one ad group per CEI program. Any program CEI fills with a related online program goes national, even with no campus buyer. For example, CEI offers EMT searchers Health Sciences and Emergency Management degrees, and personal trainer searchers Sport Management and Nutrition. Programs where CEI only offers General Studies stay out: gunsmith, locksmith, dog trainer, home inspector, wedding planner. Keywords follow Eggers' patterns: [program] training/certification/school/classes/degree, how to become a [job], [job] salary.

Bing vol at ≤$3 CPCvol above $3Bars are monthly Bing search volume. Felon reality check: its top keyword got 2,413 clicks in 30 days with almost no tool volume, so syndication drives far more than these numbers, and under a $3 cap we pay about $2.16, not Bing's suggested bid.

Setup per campaign: phrase match, Maximize Conversions with a $3.00 max CPC cap, no target (the felon setup), $25/day, all devices, goal C4U Leads, a shared negative list (free, pdf, jobs, hiring, near me, login). Ad groups with no volume at ≤$3 start paused. Each campaign needs one colleges4us lander with its subject ID; the deploy needs your OK. Start with Healthcare Careers (EMT) and Criminal Justice.

4 · Revenue by school, June to now

Ventrix sold leads for publisher 188. This is who national traffic actually earns from.
