CPA Scraper & Email Submits?

Hey guys,

I've had no success with PPV thus far and I think part of it is that I'm trying to do sales, CC submits and extensive forms with the offers I'm looking at. SO, I'm back to the basic for a few campaigns. I'm working on finding email submits with high EPC - going to test with direct linking first, and then move into landing pages depending on that goes. Any input on this?

Second, is it worth it to get a URL scraper for my PPV campaigns? I've heard of a lot of people doing it and really my only concern is that the URLs scraped might not be relevant or actually helpful to the campaigns. Anybody have experience with these?

    Honestly I'd stay away from zip/email submits and look for offers that pay around $3-7
    For direct linking you need to be careful, since the popup (or under) isn't a full browser window it can often get cut off and not display properly

    If you're just getting started, using scrapers could actually hurt you.. i'd honestly stick to manually getting the urls until you have some more experience under your belt

      See that's what I was thinking and I was doing all I could to stay away from email submits cause I've been told not to do them. And yeah the viewable area with direct linking is something that has me concerned.

      So basically I should focus more on Lead gen offers?

    Build a list and put an offer wall as the thank you page.

    email submits without a lot of traffic aren't very useful to run as eventually the scrub will make it pointless unless you have a lot of traffic for cheap

    E-Mail submits can run the risk of being heavily scrub and shaved. I would suggest finding offers that are not you typically coupon or giftcard e-mail submit. Something in the $5 to $10 payout range. Something a bit unique.

    You have the right idea to stay away from CPS (Cost Per Sale) aka credit card checkout offers for starters. They cost more the test, and are harder to get to convert on PPV without good experience, and landing page building skills. (Typically they require a 2 page LP.)

    Second, is it worth it to get a URL scraper for my PPV campaigns?
    URL scrapper can work great, but they are not needed off the bat. I like to start with 10 big volume URLs. Having 100s of URLs off the bat can make things really hard to test, just too many URLs to test.

    Once my campaigns is convert with my 10 URLs, then I bring out the scrapper to scale things up!
