CPA CPA is an acronym for Cost per Action and refers to "ads" that are sold on the basis that money is only given when a certain action occurs because of the ad. A CPA ad could be one in which a publisher gets paid for people that click thru an ad and sign up for a newsletter or enter a contest or fill out a form for more information on a product. Many consider direct sales or Cost Per Sale ads, and CPC ads to also be a form of CPA. But CPA usually refers to being paid for leads, sign ups, and so on.

Create another site. Just something simple that shows them you know what you're doing. I set up a site that offered SEO services, etc. Then I just told them that was a service I offer to clients, but I specialize in CPA. They'll believe anything if you make it sound like you know what you're talking about.

Exactly as Unlimited says - you need a "corporate" site that is separate to any CPA offers you're doing. This can be as simple as a WP blog - just make it look like you're a legitimate business offering SEO / internet marketing services. Include contact details as if you were a business, not an individual. Use this one site on all your applications, and keep your CPA stuff totally separate.

In the comments box you can say that this is your corporate website, and that you tend to build additional sites around offers that convert well after testing.

Some networks will require you to prove domain ownership so in those cases dropping someone else's domain on the app won't get you approved. So if you really care about getting into a certain network, don't do it. The best idea, like the others said is to get some sort of site up and tell them you do mostly e-mail or PPC. Many e-mail marketers use a redirect script for the offer links anyway, and some networks will actually REQUIRE you to do so, as they don't want their domain URL in your e-mails. This provides you a good excuse for using your redirect/double meta refresh.
