A newbie to CPA requires help!!!

7 replies
Hi to all!
I am a newbie in the world of CPA. Though I had created some campaigns previously and had some money from those but that was quite accidental, I believe. I am not really aware of the basic terminologies of CPA either. So, I will really appreciate all of your help with this.
1) What does "converts on first page submits" mean? Suppose, the page where users after clicking are being redirected is asking for email address and there is a submit button, so does the lead convert right after the user gives e-mail and presses submit? Or, there is something else to be done? On this light, please also let me know what does "converts on second page submits" means?
2) Incentivizable campaigns mean that I can pay others to complete that task or something else? What I planned is actually paying people for completing the actions mentioned without taking help from any PTC/GPT site. Is that allowed provided the campaign is incentivizable?
I will really appreciate all of yours help on this.
Thanks in advance.

    Here is some stuff about cpa including your questions.


    “converts on first page submits”
    - The consumer must fill the first page and press 'submit'. You are then credited that lead.
    Incentive
    - You are only allowed to pay people with cash if your network allows "hard" incent. Please contact your affiliate manager for this information. Incentive is mostly giving the user an 'incentive' for doing an offer for you.
    Web Promotions
    - Web promotions derive from natural traffic content webpages, we use banners and text links to track these types of conversions. Conversion rates are typically low for this type of promotion.
    E-mail
    - E-mail promoters use our approved e-mail ads, these are e-mailed for users to see. Conversion rates vary, depending on the quality of the e-mail lists and a the relevancy of the offer.
    Search
    - Search Traffic originates from search engines like Google and Yahoo, it is the bulk our business. Search traffic uses our custom affiliate links to re-direct users to the offer. Small ads on the content network would also use this link for the destination URL.
    DLS
    - This stands for Downloadable software, and this link acts much like the search link, except it is used for a different purpose. Traffic derives from user activity on private user executable programs; Kazaa and Limewire would be good examples, the owners of this program could use our DLS links to promote our offers on their program.
    SocialNet
    - This stands for Social Network traffic, and user clicks originate from places like Facebook, Myspace, and various other social networking sites.
    RegPath
    - This stands for Registration Path promotions. Most of our ZIP and E-mail submit offers are RegPaths. Users typically begin clicks on banners which state, choose your free “___”. Users are then asked to fill out additional offers. The additional offers are part of the RegPath promotion. Only certain offers can be incorporated into a RegPath, since traffic quality is generally quite poor.
    Host & Post
    - Host and Post is just that, an affiliate would host an offer on his/her server, then upload the lead information to the network. This is an advanced technique and typically requires i-framing and creative spins. That said, only a few offer are open to this type of traffic.
    Whitelabel
    - Some offers are actually white label offers in themselves, these are offers that look different than the parent host’s website, but traffic ends up going to that site down the road. Some offers are open to white label promotions, but not too many.

    I only recommend that you work with CPA offers that pay you anywhere between $1-$5 per lead.

    This means that once someone goes to your affiliate page and enters their name, email, and other info if necessary, you should see that you earned from that lead right away. Most CPA offers only require an email and name.

    Your only job is to send people to that offer and never send bogus or un-targeted traffic.
