Looking for advice for cpa please?

Hi guys

I have recently gotten back into looking at ways of making money online after a few years away and im now giving it a proper go.

I am trying cpa but im just coming across roadblocks which im fighting through slowly.

My question is

I want to start off with small budget just to test out on bing with an offer from maxbounty

I set up a campaign hoping i could direct link, but bing wont approve my ad, which i understand why.

I have set up getresponse free trial, my question is, can i use their landing pages as my url for leads?

Also probably a silly question but can someone explain what i need to put into my bing ad as a destination url? i know its my affiliate link but is that the text link? or contextual link?

Any help would be really appreciated as im hungry and determined to make this work

Thank you

    If you're using Bing, it should be the search link, not text or contextual. If there isn't a search link, that means the offer is not allowed to be advertised on search and you shouldn't have it on Bing at all.

    You can use getresponse for a landing page as long as it meets Bing's requirements the same as any other landing page you would use.

    It really is best to get a domain of your own and use that as the landing page instead of direct linking and instead of using a GR landing page as your display URL.

      You select Search and then click get tracking code and a pop up window gives you your affiliate link. Do you have pop up windows blocked?

      Are you able to get a tracking code if you choose a different traffic source? If so, I would contact your AM to see if there is a technical issue.

      Are you getting the code but then when you test the code it doesn't send you to the offer? Check if the country you are coming from is allowed in the offer. If it's not, you can still run the offer but you may not be able to view it unless you use a vpn/proxy.

    Beware Maxbounty!! After being a affiliate with them for 5 years and then taking time (6 months) to pursue other opportunities they closed my account that had money owed to me in and told me it was closed due to inactivity and I would need to reapply. REALLY! Just take my money and tell me start over. I'm not wasting my time with them and you might want to think about whether you do.

      This is not fair if you do not violate the terms.

        I did not violate any terms and was a member for a long time and paid money to promote several of their offers.

        Was busy with my other parts of my business and just did not log in for 6mo and when I did try to log in my password did not work and could not get a new PW and called the affiliate rep and she said I needed to reapply, REALLY!!

        I'm a member of several other networks and I will not take valuable time to reapply to make them money.
        They are just arrogant as for as I'm concerned.

          We pay out all of our affiliates who reach the $100 threshold. If you were inactive for half a year without reaching that threshold, I'm not sure what you expected to happen. Did you reach out to anyone during the six month periods where you were inactive? If you have your e-mail or affiliate ID# I wouldn't mind looking into the situation further.

          Thanks.

            I do not have any interest working with a company that is that arrogant.
            So no             conscience about taking peoples money. Your not in the people business I guess your company thinks it does not need people. I have seen what happens to companies like your over time.
            Companies like yours don't seem to understand you need us more than we need you. There are lots of companies like yours and more every day.
            Good luck your going to need it more than me!!
            Troll some where else for business.

    The best option is to buy a domain, cheap hosting and start making landing pages using different paths and different subdomains. You can also use blogspot for bing ads

    I think you should just sign up with 5-6 trusted CPA networks like:

    - Peerfly
    - World Leads
    - ClickDealer
    - GlobalWide Media
    - Convert2Media
    -etc

    and start split testign their offers with your traffic. I would never recommend having only 1 CPA network, because it's not converting the best everytime at 1 network...
