Hello all,
I'm fairly new to this game, but I have several killer ideas for offline marketing using CPA promotions. My only concern, however, is that my methods for driving traffic will obviously generate extremely high (95%+) conversions -- since if someone bothers to type in the URL from a flyer or business card describing the offer, they will almost certainly complete the process. So, my questions are as follows:
1) Will the high conversions be a problem for the network? I have to imagine that seeing such high conversions from a new signup, they would assume I'm simply entering fake leads myself through proxies and ban me quick -- before I get paid, of course.
2) Will working offline in general be a problem for the networks, on the whole? Are there some networks that explicitly allow / disallow offline marketing, and which ones would these be?
3) I'm in a major metropolitan area, and there are several large universities nearby. I plan to do some of my marketing on these campuses. The problem is that several of these campuses have large, free wi-fi networks for their students and guests -- so a great deal of my traffic will come (from the network's POV) from the same IP or IP range. Will this be a problem?
Thanks in advance. These forums have provided me with a ton of great information so far, and with these final pieces to the puzzle I'll be on my way. I promise to pay you all back with my ideas if they work out
