Hi everyone,

Assume I will promote one cpa offer with any cpa network, how do i know that cpa offer is legitimate?

example, iphone 4 zip submits .. enter and win one lucky draw .. how do i know whether the visitors i drive to the site will actually win an iphone or just a scam site to collect zip or emails for other reasons?

is there a way to know this?

any help? thanks.

    1, Make some searches with your offer name on google. "offer name scam" etc.

    2, Talk with your affiliate manager about this, they may have the info.

    ohh i can do that?

    but if assume my cpa network is promoting these offers, why would they want to promote the cpa offers with their network since it is not legitimate? i doubt the affiliate manager will tell me right? sounds so weird!

    but curious, any cpa networks that actually promote "non legitimate" offers .. so i can avoid them if can

      Most offer are legitimate in the sense that there is a prize at the end of the tunnel. But, the trick is finding ones where the cost and obstacles in that tunnel aren't insane. Your AM should be able to help or if you are a courageous man you can attempt the offer yourself to check out the funnel

      Making sure that the network your offer is running with is legitimate is a good start. Most good networks are doing some homework first.

    Well, first off, start by reading the fine print, you don't actually "win" an iphone 4 or any of those prizes with an email submit, you will get it only if you fill out enough of the backend offers..

    But I'd talk to your AM for stuff like this

    These offers are all legitimate - in the essence that you CAN get the prize if you actually go through the funnel.

    However most people do not finish the entire funnel - and therefore they don't get their reward.

      Which is how these merchants can afford to give away sweet prizes when the cost to go through the funnel is less than the prize given!

      This is why at the end of the day it "makes sense" from the merchants point of view. The people "losing out here" are those that start going through the tunnel and don't finish.

      Remember, these simple submit sales funnels are more of a zero-sum game than other funnels!
