That should be fine. (I'm not 100% sure, I could be wrong)

Keep in mind, pop-ups are blocked by most browsers.

I was thinking of adding a popup on my WordPress blog for a CPA offer. Anybody know a good plugin that does not require php coding? I am looking for a plugin where I have settings so I don't have to worry about coding.

Yeah neither of those things you said are allowed. They're really specific about that. The landing page requires there to be value, as in you have to tell someone how to do something, tell someone how to do something with the help of your cpa offer, or reviews of different offers in the niche. Apparently it can't just up sell or be made to sell the product you're promoting.

Which is kind of strange seeing as that is pretty much what advertisements are supposed to do!


The way you build a real landing page that offers value:

Let's say in this example you want to promote a keyword research tool from CB.

Your Ad:

Your Landing Page:
If you're tired of spending day after day doing keyword research, you need to read this.

Then you show them how to do keyword research step by step using the Keyword Planner or WordTracker or SEOBook. While you show them that, subtly drop hints that there is a keyword tool that helps do it better,faster,easier. Do that one or two times throughout the page. Maybe even link the offer page to a few of the words throughout your guide. Then you place a nice button that brings them to the offer page at the bottom of your guide. You can also place a button somewhere near the top of your sidebar.


This page and setup would probably get approved. The reason why is because it provides value to the reader. Some of them might not know how to do what you're showing them. They'll be happy they found the page because they actually learned something from it. They might even bite and buy your offer.

The reason why most affiliates get denied is because their entire page is a big up sell. The reader will not be any better off or in any better of a situation by reading most affiliate landing pages. If the reader won't gain anything from your site then it isn't valuable and it'll probably get turned down. So just teach them how to do something related to your offer and talk about how your offer will help them do whatever you're teaching them!

Crap why did I tell everyone that! Now I'm going to have more competition on Adwords...

Adwords is very strict these days with compliance. Any CPA offers need to offer some kind of value add, and ideally keep all traffic and payments on site, and not kick off to some aff site.

it's possible to do CPA offers, maybe get them to make you a custom page on a domain, or a custom page on their domain? That is all you would need.

Google Adwords don't allow publishing of affiliate links since they simply don't want you to make money using their ppc-platform. Therefore we cloak'em bastards, so, u need an Adwords Cloaker to get your ads approved.
