Hey, can you tell me if you use this technique to your bring traffic to your CPA offer ?
I saw somewhere that this technique is dead...is it right ?
#ad networks (cpm/cpl, display) #poll technique
  • Its not dead, you just cant do it as a long term strategy as CPA offers tend to get scrubbed.

  • it really depends on your traffic source, i wouldn't dare bother polls with google anymore
  • But with yahoo or bing, is it still working? Is this method considered as an incentive one?

    • It can still work, just need to sneak it through.. honestly the time you spend sneaking it through you could be developing strengths in other areas..

      so in short - you can still make money, but it is probably not worth the hassel..

  • Polls still work, but I agree with Chris when he says that it's hard to use them with Google. However, Yahoo, Bing and other platforms are still very good for polls.

    You just have to find a good question, a nice offers and cheap traffic source.

  • Polls are also fine on social networks. Give it a try on a popular fan page maybe.

  • Ive seen Fortune 500 companies running the poll method on Facebook.

    Oh wait, nevermind.. this method was declared dead a few months ago.

    I must have been seeing things.

    • Oh really?

      Poll technique already dead? what a mistake for me.. i have done one website to be used as a pool technique, but i'm not just doing poll alone, i have content within my website, is that still working for me?
  • It is not dead..But it is not affective as before.
  • @Reid Stevens what kind of offers do you promote with the poll method, do you use this free Ipad, Ipod offers? And in the landing page you just put the question and ask the visitor to fill his email on the following page and then you make the redirect to the offer page? Isn't this considered incentive?

  • So to make it really clear, you host the landing page where you have the poll, and in this landing page you tell the visitor that after he submits the poll he will get the chance to win something if in the next page he will submit his email address! Is this correct?

    • That's the jist of it..
      (the page where they submit the e-mail address is generally the offer page)
  • Ive got a HostGator account and they give you $100 free credit for Google AdWords.

    I was wondering, do you have to have a Google AdWords account with credit on it already to use this free credit or can you just create a new AdWords account and start using the $100 credit?

    Also how much content do you have to put on the poll site in addition to the actual poll if your using AdWords? As i know Google doesn't like poll sites, i don't want to get slapped.

    • I'm pretty sure that $100 credit is for new accounts only, so you would need to open up a brand new account
  • @Reid I could sure use your help however pm'ing you is out of the question because of post count as well as guest posts on your space and I don't have an email this is the only place I know of to contact you!
    please pm me with an email I have a few questions
    thanks

  • do polls still work?
  • I've been teaching this method since 2007 and every time someone asks "does it still work" the reply is ALWAYS...yes.

    Rules change, traffic sources change but the basics of the method remain the same.

    They still work, some CPA networks don't like "poll" traffic anymore, but that's ok lots of others do.

    Now another cool spin is to use polls on mobile. (You heard it here first).
