onlinemarketing

OK, I have been visiting the warrior forum and I have been hearing a lot about CPA (cost per action) and PPC (pay per click). I decided that I would delve into this and see if I could make some money with these programs.

Now the first thing I had to learn was the definition of ppc and cpa.

Azoogle, maxbounty, primaryads these are “cost per action” affiliate programs. Everytime somebody submits their zip code, name/email, buys a product, or requests more information you get paid a certain amount in commission.

CPA Networks are an extremely lucrative endeavor for Publishers and Advertisers.

Here’s the difference:

Publisher:

A person who gets paid for driving targeted traffic to someone else’s advertisement, offer, contest, etc. That’s where the term CPA comes in, Cost Per Action. You get paid every time someone you refer to their offer performs the required action/actions, whether it be an opinion, an email address, a zip code, a phone number, an actual sale etc.

Advertisers are willing to pay you because of the targeted traffic you’d be sending to them. For you to get the highest payout you need to send prospects who are interested enough in the offer to give up their personal info. Don’t go to a knitting forum promoting jock straps that use patented ball hoisting technology (got that from an MTV skit
) that wouldn’t be targeted traffic

Advertisers:

Someone who pays a CPA Network, such as azoogleads.com (there are tons of other ones), to have their offer placed in the marketplce with other advertisers. Publishers who have discovered a hungry market then searche azoogle’s market for a fitting ad or offer, set up the campaign, drive traffic to it and get paid when people take the required actions. It’s a good strategy for people who are willing to pay for highly targeted leads.

With ppc, you get paid when the person that clicked on your ad buys a product. It is a little like Google Adsense but in stead of getting paid by someone just clicking the ad they must also buy something. Here are some sites that have CPA. This is the program that I am going to try. I will post my results here.
