CPA offer converting at 49% should I worry?

I think you should contact the affiliate manager of the network that you are already working with and ask for a payout increase. If you are generating more than $100 a day from just one offer there is a good chance that they will increase your payout a bit (unless they have already done it).

Ty for the response. So you think I should just be loyal, and not trying to jump ship? Considering that my actions have already been approved with my existing network...

Also is a 49% conversion considered exceptionally high?

Well, now we're curious as to what you are doign that could be converting so well. haha I think that if you feel as if they are going to pull it I would just jump ship and get on board with the new guys. Of coruse make sure that the method that you are using is excepted with that network. If you feel like it, you can PM to fill me in with what your doing

that is extremely high, i understand why it would raise a few eyebrows.. do you know why it's so high, i'm not accusing you or doing anything wrong, but when it's that high it unfortunately raises some flags

Whoa! that's awesome. Can I ask what you are advertising?

Hey, thats a pretty good problem to have. Its always nice having a problem like that huh!!


Anyway, here would be my advice. And remember, a lot of this is strategic business type stuff that is much determined by your personal feelings as you have interacted with the parties involved. I am an outsider, so you can read my advice, but make sure it applies based on what you know and the communications youve had before implementing.

-First, you may want to try and approach the advertiser. If you are doing good volume with solid traffic, they will likely pay you more. With that said, go about it wisely because you dont want to piss the network off. But, if the advertiser said they were fine with your methods, then there is no reason you cant go directly to them.

-Next point is about cross network testing. You have a good idea by splitting up the traffic. Even though this means less leverage because you have slightly less volume, at least not all your eggs are in one basket. If one network decides to deny commissions, you still have the other network.

If you are just getting into the new network, be upfront about yoru conversions and my advice would be to speak to your AM and tell him/her you wish to just bring over some of your traffic so they can get a feel for it. So, start small and just bring a little bit of traffic to the new network. Once they get comfortable, then you can start bringing more, but I wouldnt bring over a ton of traffic with that high of conversion right from the start. Looks to fishy. Let them get a good feeling about you and some history first.

-Lastly, not sure what type of offer you are looking at, but also look to test out similar offers within the same niche...perhaps on a completely new network.


The whole point is that these are business decisions. You want to mitigate your risk. This is why you are trying to go through a few networks. You also want to maximize your upside, thats why its good to explore going to the merchant directly.

Wishing you even more success on your campaign!

Kenster, thanks for the words, it's good to see that I'm on the right path with my thought process. My thoughts were to alternate the traffic between the two networks, like you mentioned above.

But, when I tried to talk to my AM this was the response I got "If you are getting a 48% conversion rate you should not need to improve anything at all. At that high of a conversion rate the advertiser would probably pull it for fraud."

I responded asking for the opportunity to explain things, and I haven't received a response yet. I'll give it a couple more days and then I'll just approach the Owner.

I've used this same method on similar CPA offers and while the conversion isn't as high, I'm comfortable with the results.

Now, how do you go about communicating with the advertiser? Where would I even begin to take things down this road..

If an AM or a network in general won't take the time to talk to you, I say F them and move on. If the network you're with right now is fine with your methods, then I'd say just scale, scale, scale until the advertiser basically has not choice but to let you run the offer directly.

I think you get the gist of what you should do based on the consistency of the comments.


1. try other similar offers.
2. ditch the network if they arent resonsive. You wont be doing yourself any favors by sticking with an unresponsive network.
3. Try and contact the advertiser directly to get even higher payout


But lastly, if its your traffic source that is golden, now is the time to dig in and put some serious time and effort into building multiple campaigns with your traffic source. Imagine seeing 10x your result!

Good luck!
