Is Content locking necessary?

Dear all,

i'M A NEWBIE to CPA. Just got accepted by two CPA networks. Now please advice me about following.

1- Is content Locking necessary for doing cpa? or will it be fine if I just direct traffic to the CPA offer?

2- I want to use maxvisits to provide me with targeted visitors , has anyone tried them for CPA? any suggestions. Or suggest anyother platform.

3- I have a traffic software, that gives around 1,500 - 3000 visitors per day globally. But cpa offers are only for U.S visitors, so can I use this
software? or using this will get me banned from cpa networks?

Please advice and help me out here.
Thanks in advance.

1) Content locker is not necessary to have (it only on of option to do cpa) Normaly you can direct link to your cpa offer, there is some offers not allow it, but you can check it in your cpa account before you starting campaign.
2) I do not think that any paid traffic will convert good for cpa offers, if I have targeted traffic, why should I sell it for few $.
3) If you have source which can provide you targeted non us visitors, then search for offers for those country's, if you can not find any thing interesting then you can switch to cpa locker or Sms lockers. I will choose 2nd option, for non us visitors I have pretty good conversion rate with sms locker.

elaborate what do you mean by switching from cpa locker to sms lockers? Do you mean to get the offers which require visitors to fill in their mobile numbers? if no, then how can I do it?

If we take Egypt as example, Most network does not support CPA offers for this country but you have many visitors from it, you can show to this ppl sms locker in state of content locker, they send sms to access content. Myself I use Russian sms partner for it. You can check MGCASH they have sms locker and it appear when there is no offers for country.

BTW cpa lockers in not only way to monetize blog. Try to find some banners add, sell related products, use ppc advertisers, collect email address's from visitors and build targeted email list
