Adoption Network CPA Offer Ending

KateD · 03-10-2009, 08:00 AM

Hey Guys,

About six weeks ago, I found this really interesting CPA offer to promote. It was from the Adoption Network. Basically, they pay you $10 each time you can get someone to order their free adoption kit.

There was no cost to the visitor, but they was a phone call involved (which I believed greatly reduced the conversion ratio).

Anyway, I have done a few things already to promote this offer:

1. Registered a good domain name.
2. Created a blog promoting the CPA offer.
3. Created a Hubpage promoting the CPA offer.
4. Submitted eight (8) articles to Ezinearticles.com (5 that just got approved this week)

So far, I have made 2 leads (of $10 each) out of about 180 clicks. Plus, they paid me an additional $35 just to write ONE article and show them that I am using their link multiple times on my site/blog. They really were very supportive.

Anyway, I got an email from them yesterday that they were ending their CPA offer (as of March 13th, I think).

This isn't the typical ringtone or dating CPA that I can easily switch out. I'll probably just throw up Adsense until I can find a better way to monetize the traffic.

You guys have any feedback on alternative CPA or other ways to monetize this traffic?

Thanks,

KateD

P.S. Lesson Learned: Don't create a website, blog, and hubpage around a unique CPA offer that can be ended at any time.

Find another similar offer and redirect the traffic to it.

That's the point. It's such a unique CPA offer that I'm having trouble finding a similar one (at least in the CPA networks I'm signed up for).

I was thinking that maybe someone knows of an offer that would work. They may be involved in CPA networks that I'm not in yet.

Adsense is your best bet at the moment until you find a similar offer...

Kate - You say that they have been very helpful to you.

There are many reasons why they are stopping the CPA offer. You may never be told as to why.

Contact them and see if they would intertain the idea of you being a direct affiliate for them. They might be willing to set you up to be thier own personal super affiliate.

It's worth a try...before you go through the pains of trying to find a fill in.

ShareAsale has an adoption network paying $10 per lead

Yes. That's the one I was referring to. They are ending their CPA offer. I was looking for other monetization options.

If you ever end up in this situation, the easiest thing to do is simply type into Google.

"offertype" affiliate program

So in your case

adoption affiliate program

And voila, first up , paying 25% is..

Adoption Affiliate Program - Make Money

Next up, search the affilaite directories, took me a few seconds to find.

AffiliatesDirectory.com - The Affiliate Programs Directory: Adoption Network Law Center

So that's two alternatives in 2 minutes.

CPA is great for offers, but there is a world beyond it of excellent private run affilaite programs.

Just do an old fashioned search..

Hope that helps.

Why don't you contact the affiliate manager and see if you can get them to continue to work with you on a private level. You said you had a few more days, right? They could at least give you a reason why they are ending the program and maybe offer some ideas as to how to move forward from where you are. I think 49Above was managing that account. There's got to be an email address or phone number you can call somewhere...

Just drop them a line, you may be surprised.

Sarah,

That's a good idea. I'll shoot them an email and see if continuing on a "private" basis can be an option.

Simon,

Thanks for the assistance.

I checked out the first adoption affiliate programthat you found. On their site, they don't give much info about their affiliate program (ie. how they pay affiliates, what's the minimum payout, when they pay, etc). And this line of their affiliate page has me worried: "We offer our Affiliate Website Program to other web Euntreapraneurs that would like to sell a product that has a high demand."

They weren't even close on that spelling.

But they do offer a 25% commission on a $327 sale ($81.75). I have emailed them to get more details.

As far as the second option you found me,well, that's the exact program that I am promoting now. The Adoption Network Law Center is ending their affiliaet program. When you click on the link for it in the affiliate directory you provided, it just goes to the CPA offer on the Shareasale.com network.

I appreciate the help nonetheless.

No problem Kate. I didn't really check the offers as such, It was just a roadmap of how to find substitutes.

Good luck.

Big players in the CPA game create 10, 20 or more sites for any CPA offer in order to test various strategies. $8 for a domain is nothing when you can make outrageous amounts of money in return

Now that is keeping it real RebeccaL....it's not magic.

But I would still go to a site like this one and save some money!

Godaddy promo code and coupon list for 2009

Oh and KateD....What I do is create Virtural Real Estate around Niches then find the offers that would fall within that niche.
