    The best is to have your landing page and collect their emails.

    This way you build your list and promote CPA offers many times later.

    This is the best way to earn real money with CPA networks.

    All of the advanced CPA marketers do this.

    Your job is to get as many visitors as you can to your landing page.

    You can use Facebook to huuuge traffic to your landing page!

    I hope this will help.

      I agree completely you gotta have a landing page that collects emails...especially if you're spending any money on advertising

      I'll tell you a quick story that happened to me about a year ago...I had just finished reading a great book about adwords and quickly set up my account. I was so excited about the information that I had learned that I just funded my account and direct linked to the offer. I didn't get any substantial conversion (cuz I wasn't preselling) and I had NOTHING to show for it. If I had taken the time to create a landing page, to collect email addresses...I'd at least have something to show the money spent.

      Lesson Learned.

    So to my understanding CPA are paid leads (like if they want say weight loss and they fill out the form then I get paid for that sign up) so if I build a landing page where it has a sign up and INSTEAD they sign up for my email list then I have to go back to them to pitch the CPA lead product right? Seems like double work that way

      Is there an efficient way to get opt ins on a page, AND still complete the lead on your landing page? It seems like if you're asking for their email, say, to give them a free guide, your viewer is likely to get distracted and might not complete the lead you were originally guiding them towards.

      Or do you structure your PPC campaign around collecting emails, and worry about generating leads later?

        Thanks for the input, yes basically the visitor must now fill in a form on 2 seperate pages to make money. However the fallout of those visitors that do not fill both forms out, will be made up on the back end with say an email follow up sequence.

        This makes sense, I will try both ways for awhile, thanks for great insightful input.

        I will track the money Im making both by direct linking or not direct linking. I will post results here when I have more solid numbers (today lost $25 on bad keywords and urls.)

        I am going to do this tomorrow, where the person fill in the form on my landing page, then the next page (cpa offer) gets automatically filled with the previous page information. Also I think you have to ask your affiliate manager if your offer will take the pre-populated form.

      Direct linking is when someone clicks on an advertisement and is taken DIRECTLY to the offer you want to promote.

      Using a landing page means creating a page that usually "pre-sells" the offer before they are taken to the offer page.

        If they are already being "pre-sold", then they click, then you are pre-selling them again, it is going to turn people off.
