Direct Linking really works?

Hello Guys,

I've been doing CPA for some time right now.
First I tried with the "free register" CPA networks... there's really BIG companies and you can make a lot of money with those networks. The don't approve you or anything you just subscribe and you can start to make money.

But. After that I started to apply in some CPA bigger networks. Clickbooth, EWA, Neverblue, Peerfly, etc.

Peerfly accepted me, Clickbooth no, Neverblue did it, EWA as a miracle accepted me (I know that EWA is one of the best companies and one of the most difficult to get in)

So now... with 4 new CPA accounts and some experience in CPA I started to look around the networks and see what offers I liked the most.

I always liked to promote Dieting and Dating offers because almost every human being is interested in those topics and you can do ads in almost any place.

So... back to our initial question. Direct Linking really works?

I found out that Neverblue had the best Dating offers so I started with those guys and started doing some ads in direct linking. I was putting $10 in ads and getting $12 back.

Pretty good for me months ago. I was making REAL money. But I needed something more so I decided to start using a Landing Page before going to the actual offer.

The reason why I decided to try that Is not just because I "heard" about it. But because I thought It's said with a lot of sense.

Normally Dating offers sites load very slow (cause they have a lot of traffic and sometimes those pages have a lot of images) at least that's my experience with it.

So doing a "pre-landing" page sound really smart.

I tried and boom!

Instead of doing 20% of profit ($10 to $12) I started doing 50% of profit ($10 to $15) that was really great movement.

You know people dream with investing $1 and getting $30 back and there's some times when you can get those results. But normally you have to do some testing and make money in the best way you can.

Now... dating offers can make me up to 200% in profit (after testing some traffic sources and landing pages) that means that you can invest $1 ant get $2 back.

So, as you can see for MY CASE direct linking worked... but using landing pages worked better.

That may help someone - But every case is different. I have a friend who last month did $15,000 with dieting campaings and most of those were direct linking campaings.

Every case is different, just remember that.
