Quick question from a CPA beginner

I want to venture into cpa and was wondering if purchasing just a domain (no hosting) and doing a redirect to a cpa offer was allowed? And if so what networks are the best for this?

Also is cpa the best way to make money this way from a simple domain but no hosting? Thanks.

Honestly if you're going to do CPA. You might as well get yourself some basic hosting be it free hosting or cheap paid hosting to create a landing page. It will do you much better in the long run rather than redirecting your domain to the offer. Personally I've been using AdWorkMedia for my campaigns but use what you find best for your niche.

Well, it should be allowed because most of the affiliates use tracking links which is pretty much a domain that redirects to the offer (it's just it's still hosted somewhere).
Namecheap should allow you to redirect your domains without hosting I think.

The idea I had in mind was for a specific event (can probably work out what it is as I'm sure loads of other people are doing this) so there will be lots of targeted traffic looking for links of that sort on the day.

Thanks. Yes I have the namecheap domain already. But when I sign up for cpa networks they ask me what my website is so I don't know what to write or if it will even be accepted.

Like Diplomat said you're better off with a basic hosting package, or a fairly decent one but for a reasonable price. Because when you start pushing a campaign forth just through a redirect and it doesn't pan out? You'd want to give yourself some freedom to experiment with that campaign. You'd want to create a landing page and see how that works. So a hosting in hand is a must I'd say.

In terms of your application. Just specify what are you going to do. Being honest is the best way to go here. That has always panned out well for our publisher sign-ups. So just tell the story the way it is and you'll be fine .

Use an "agency" type of website and be sure to outline your promotional method in the description.

I do ppv and direct affiliate linking
