Newbie Question

Kirahster · 05-04-2009, 03:09 PM

I am sure you will all laugh at me for asking this but what does CPA mean?

dvduval · 05-04-2009, 03:11 PM

Cost per Action
but not a bad question since there are so many uses:
CPA - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I am too new to know how to thank you on the post but thank you! I appreciate the help. There are so many acronyms and when I searched CPA all I got was the accountant stuff.

There is a button on the bottom right hand side that labelled "Thanks". Clicking that will do the trick!

Regards,
Jeff.

I'm glad somebody else asked, I already asked a buncha dumb questions this week, lol and now I know what wso means without having to ask

GeorgR. · 05-04-2009, 03:43 PM

CPA, cost per action. You are an affiliate and get paid for things like sign-ups and emails. The bauty of it is that with CPA you can lure many potential customers doing something for free (eg. fill out forms, submit emails) and you get paid.

Do you have to have a certain number of posts first?

schibs · 05-04-2009, 03:58 PM

every question is a good one if you learn from it - welcome to the forum

Craig Fenton · 05-04-2009, 04:36 PM

Nobody should laugh at a question.

Only intelligent people ask! Good for you.

Janet Matthews · 05-04-2009, 04:41 PM

I had just about worked out what CPA stood for but I am not sure how you find the CPA affiliate programs you mentioned

When I went to college for the first few months I felt like I was the only one who didn't understand what was going on. I gradually learned that most people feel clueless at times, they just don't let others know that (perhaps they are afraid of being the only ones who don't understand something).

Anyways - asking questions is always a good idea.

Kirahster · 05-04-2009, 05:21 PM

CJ (commission junction) have CPA programs. I just figured that out also.
No to try and get accepted to a few!
