Adsense on CPA Landing Pages

AD NETWORKS

Does anyone like to put adsense on their cpa landing pages? I just made a landing page for a cpa dating campaign. The ad served was a competing dating site in my niche. So I wonder: if someone clicks on it, I make 5 cents. But if someone clicks thru and fills out the form, I make $3. Is it worth it to use adsense at all in this case? Doesn't it compete with the purpose of the landing page?

I would say no to the landing page. One more distraction and it's really not the desired action either.

I agree, you should make sure that when visitors get your page there is only ONE thing for them to do.

  Like some has mentioned earlier.
  Dont give to many options.
  Leave out the adsense for landing pages.
  it also distracts the buyer.
  
  have a fabulous day.

CPA is about getting customers to fill out the offer.
Having Adsense on the site basically gives them not only a distraction, but a way to leave your site and not come back... and they won't, because chances are the site that's advertising is better designed. or more what they're interested in.

It's like bending over to pickup a nickel when you're getting paid by the minute on some job or other.

  I make money putting my ads on niche sites that carry AdSense. Why would I let my competition put their ad on my page? :confused:
  
  Thanks

  Hey Guys,
  I've tested this a few times and really the only time it ever worked out, was using Yahoo Publisher network...not adsense on a financial market offer. Well, I guess I would say it worked out...the offer conversions were pretty bad, but I did generate a few ad clicks at a decent payout.
  
  All in all...I would say no adsense on the page...it's just another leak to cut down the conversion rate of the offer.
  
  Thanks

NO! Don't do it, trust me it will make your landing page less professional

  Sometimes, the object of my landing page is to not look 'professional'. In those scenarios, I sometimes code affiliate offers/products in a way that mimics Google Adsense adblocks.
  
  They convert pretty darned well in the right context.
  
  Thanks
