WTF is CPA – Some developments

I’ve been talking about getting into CPA for quite a while now as ClickBank is giving me the shits lately. I have actually launched a product nearly 2 months ago now that is not doing as well as i had hoped just yet, but that is another post.

A couple of weeks ago i applied to a relatively small CPA network (won’t say who just yet) that was recommended to me by a forum member and promptly forgot about it. I did however apply properly and even setup a site with some simple CJ offers on it.  About a week ago i got an email from the AM there asking me to give him a call. This was a bonus as usually they like to call you at 3am in the morning (i live in Australia), unless you call them first.

So i chatted to the dude and answered all the usual questions (had to fib a teeny bit but yanno) and after about 5 mins of chatting i was approved and logged in checking out some offers.  10 mins later i was pretending to be an 18 year old girl on facebook, but that is too much work (and another post if you’re interested lol) so i changed my tactics. 2 more mins later i had created a new yahoo answers profile and asked some questions.

Now, I have several YA accounts, 1 level 3 and 3 level 2 and a but load of level 1’s.  I’m sure you are all aware of how simple this marketing “tactic” is and i have used to extensively for promoting CB products, however CPA lead conversions seem to be far easier.

The top 3 offers were some dating shenanigans i was facebooking about the place, can’t be stuffed with that it takes too much effort. The bottom 2 are the same offer, but the bottom one is the auto redirect international offer for non-us traffic. Yahoo Answers took literally 5 mins and check that out from 1 answer (which is now voted as best answer not even by me!). This seems to be getting quite a bit of search traffic too as YA is first result in google and mine is the second of the sub results under that. Easy.

Will keep this up i think for a while and see what stats i get.

Here’s my weird question..I promote peerfly and like I was using twitter and on peerfly’s stats it showed I had 42 unique clicks 0 sales for the last 2 days
So i stopped promoting on twitter and started with ppc…now my ads havent even generated a single impression with ppc …I check my stats like every 20 minutes …and all of a sudden about 10 minutes ago..I had the exact same uniques (42) buut I have 10 sales????? Do they have to process email submits and make sure they are legit then send you the commission 2 days later?? I dont know much cause I’m new to this game ..any ideas ?

If FTC catches you doing that, you are going to pay a hugeeee fine. You’ll be paying a lot more in fines than all those sales you are making.

what im doing is in now way against the FTC regs. ;)

@John Jeracevich – i guess that would depend on how your network updates its stats tbh.
