Have A CPA Question? Ask Here

I've been doing local marketing for businesses and want to get into more affiliate CPA marketing.

One thing I've always wondered, do most networks not want you to host the actual form on your website? For instance I set up a nice personal finance blog and I've found lots off offers I want to try like "improve your credit rating" offers. It seems to me the the conversions will be higher if I actually host the HTML submit form on my site within my blog. I would basically just copy the html landing page the offer has, make sure my affiliate info is in there and then let people fill out the form on my site. Is this possible? Would networks let me know do this?

Also, I clicked over to your own network. Do you take CL traffic on any offers. I'm especially good at posting phone numbers in ads and generating real live sales calls to businesses (which is what I've successfully done for lots of local businesses).

Thanks.
 
Nice of you to open this thread! Ive read a lot of the threads about how to get accepted to CPA networks as a noob, but I was wondering what type of information do you fill it out with? 100% real? Everything fake except for phone number? Also, do you give them your SSN number?

The main reason I'm asking is because if you're doing everything black hat, then you don't really want to be tied to them directly, especially if your band.

Thanks in advance!

Of course you use real information. Never ceases to amaze me people think they need to lie to get into cpa companies. If you have good promotional methods, and are not just trying to scam them, a lot of networks will approve you.

Blackhat does NOT mean illegal. Those are two different things. If you're doing illegal things then you shouldn't be here or doing CPA marketing.
 
I'll answer all your questions too I promise, I'm just a little tired and busy right now

Thank you!!! I just didn't know with all the talk of blank referrers etc.

no problem mate.answer whenever u want.although my answer is still pending (yeah the longest fucking nooby query above :o, sry for that) but seriously i m still getting to know some things asked by other people. again thanks for this thread :)
 
I use the basic SEO stuff, SENuke, Market Samuri, and just the Google Keyword Tool
Do you normally promote CPA offers using a landing page or a normal bloggy looking WP blog full of posts promoting different offers?

As long as you promise not to forget my questions, you can take a little nap and get back to me... Actually me and that other guy that wanted to see some proof?
 
hi, amcfad2, thank you so much for giving a chance to ask newbie question, what I wanna know is that how to built a pro website to get approved and which contents do you put on? I also be refused as I have no good website :o
 
how to monetize using paid traffic?

Get the right targeted people in front of the right ads. It's that easy

I kind of smell a promotional post.

I'd like to be proven wrong here as OP sounds genuine from his posts.

OP I have a question:

Can you show us some examples of nice converting landing pages you've made? You don't have to unveil them all but perhaps maybe an example of what works. I don't want to steal your ideas, I just want to see what a good landing page looks like.

Maybe if you don't want to unveil your niche you can show us an example of someone elses niche/ landing page that's consistently making money. I think this is what would be the most value to give back here.

Thanks

I've done review pages for all verticals especially the trial offers in weight loss, heath and beauty, and smokeless cigarettes. Some of the top ranking sites on google for productx review are the best examples
 
Have a few questions here :p
1- Does youtube traffic convert well? And what's the best traffic source that converts well.
2- How do you geo target visitors for CPA offers available only for some countries?
3- Is there a way to use adwords without getting a ban ? And does the other PPC networks like adbrite and clicksor works well?
4- Sometimes I test the CPA offer from a VPN or from another computer but doesn't convert, why?
5- What's the best offers type to promote? (email submit, pin confirmation, ...)
6- What's the most great method that works for you to get targeted visitors and good conversion.

Thank you!

1. Youtube traffic can convert for sure. The only way to link inside a YouTube video is to your other videos using Annotations. You can put URL's in annotations but they are non clickable. However, you can put the link in your description and use annotations or an actual call to action to point to your link.

2. Facebook is great for geo, age, and gender targeting

3. You can use adwords without getting banned. Its a marketing platform and you're a marketer. People only get banned when they do dumb things like putting up spammy or unrelated links. Other networks work as well, but you have to consider the quality of the publishers there.

4. Don't fill out your own offers. You won't be paid, you add no value to the advertiser, network, or yourself. Get real and treat this as profession not like a scamming noob.

5. All offers can convert if you put them in front of the right visitors.

6. Everything can work. What is success for one person isn't necessarily success for another. This forum is a perfect example. People have profited in every media outlet. It's best to pick one and become an expert at that ;)
 
thanks for opening this thread.i cant tell how much i like these type of threads :rolleyes: i m gonna inrritate u a bit if u dont mind with my super stupid questions.i started reading abt cpa some days back only as i fucking want to get rid of adsense :p but am yet to take action as i had incomplete info (maybe didnt dig up much) although i got accepted by adscendmedia a week back

1. which type of offers have highest chances of conversion

2. how to find offers which accept all countries (ofc excluding the third world countries), can u list some cpa networks plz ?

3. which are the best ways to promote these offers in your opinion ?

(a) using youtube, fb and then offering some incentives using iframing (even though advertiser dont allow, but faking referral, redirection and that stuff)

(b) i have heard a lot about people succeeding with movie sites using content locker.so supose i have a movie site and i have some of the vids on my site (like movies, songs, hot scenes - yeah not porn but ofc not hosted by me but my some other site, i just put it there and uuse content locker).which type of cpa networks will allow this thing ?

any more strategies (online only please as i live in a fucking third world country :( )

4. are there some decent adult cpa networks..what methods u use to promote them - some creative e whoring maybe

5. is there any good ebook or wso for cpa.damn i need one.i know so less and u guys know so much :o

lastly if u answer my questions, i will give u many reps and thanks (if its possible to give more than 1, never really tried)

Regards
ur dear noobie :p


First of all, I wouldn't recommend Adscend media unless you have a lot of traffic and just want to passively monetize it with a gateway on your site. Or if you have a lot of international traffic only.

1. EPCs run different at different networks, with different landing pages and promotional methods. That's a very vague question. The offer that has the best chance of converting is the offer that is the most targeted for your traffic.

2. I run a cpa network, and we have some international offers. I would also advise you to check out odigger and offervault.

3a) If the advertiser doesn't allow it, don't do it unless you're ok with working for free.

b) Most networks have at least some offers that can be used with content lockers. You can make your own custom locker free at deadbolter.com

4. Main stream cpa companies will have plenty of dating cpa offers, but nothing hardcore. There are a ton of adult networks. I'd recommend checking out gfy.com if that's the direction you want to go...

5. I'd stay away from any ebook. Most are either straight scams, or just washed up, over saturated methods that won't work. Be creative, use your mind. You don't have to be some thoughtless drone to do this. Use your analytical ability and common sense and you'll doo alright.

Good luck!
 
Thanks for the awesome post.Just saw it now I have loads of question in my bag as I am a complete newbie to CPA.

I will post it later.want your suggestions for sure.

But 2 questions, 1) everyone says that using adwords coupons is just nothing to start with I mean If I am new its safe not to go for adwords.
Can u please suggest some tips how I can make with adwords

2)India is been banned form many CPA network:(s.So can you suggest some tips as I want an approval in Neverblue.

1. A voucher is a good way to test a campaign out without having to invest any real money. Testing is the key with any campaign.

2. There are a lot of networks that accept international affiliates. If they don't accept you then they don't "deserve" your traffic. Think of it like that. Find another network and start making money!
 
What is your experience with shaving and scrubbing? What has been your most profitable way of promoting? ppc,cpv,seo etc.

This is a greatly appreciated thread.

Everything can be profitable, just like everything can fail. All you can do is learn as much about the processes as possible and test, test, test.

You can't do that because the network's lander has the tracking details embedded in it. If you just copy and paste the code, then there is no way for the pixel to fire and the conversion to be tracked.

We don't take fraudulent traffic obviously. Most advertisers do not want Craigslist traffic. Some might say its ok, in which case you can run those campaigns, but everyone is at the mercy of the person writing the checks and using the data - the advertisers. Put yourself in their shoes. They just want the highest quality leads that will convert for them and make them money.
 
thanks op for answering my questions.can u please show me some descent 2-3 landing pages promoting cpa offers with high conversion rate.it will be nice to see how people do this.thanks :):)
 
Have you been successful with ppc > one field offers? Btw, you did not answer my question about scrubbing and shaving. Thank you in advance.
 
Can you answer this question?

Do you normally promote CPA offers using a landing page or a normal bloggy looking WP blog full of posts promoting different offers?
