CPA Incentives- Are they all Scams?

by elitesalesgroup

I have a website with pretty good traffic. I have an offer that allows content unlocking and I ask my visitors to complete the offer and email me that they have done it then I send the content.

Now I know some people will lie. But the click count is increasing but I'm just not getting credit for the offer.
I asked my AM about it and he said he doesnt know what the problem could be as he has people making hundreds daily with this offer.

Is this scrubbing or what could be the problem. Im putting a lot of effort in for little to no return.
Also can anyone recommend a good offer on an incent network that converts easily. I have Offervault, but I never know which incent offers actually give credit.

Thanks in advance

    Well have you received any emails yet? I doubt someone would take the time to complete the offer without then emailing you after (assuming you make it clear that they have to email you).

    Also, why don't you try using a content locker? Would save you time as you wouldn't have to deal with emails (and save you from the liars).

    Same situation lol, but not in this network.
    Now I had generate 560 clicks for past 3 days, but I just got 3 conversion in total, it was 11% CR at first, then become 3%, and 0% now. I stop the traffic, like seriously how much effort we have made. Note the offer I promote was not incentive. Perhaps you've tried Blamads?

    Use a content locker like CPA lead it will save you a ton of time from the liars plus they don't skim that many leads.

    Which network are you using currently and how many clicks do you consider a lot of clicks?

    i have been reading alot about content locker especially from Greedy.. but i still have some questions.

    Do i have to buy the content locker software or does do i get it from my CPA network?

    How do i use a content locker software on a torrent site eg. Music/video download site.

    Thanks.

    Well, to be honest I have used several of the top networks, the ones everybody know of..With a content locker, and 1 other and and its all the same thing. Im really getting sick of it, If Im working and paying to bring leads, why aren't I getting compensated. Its like I working for free -- Actually --its worse.
    I have spoken to my AMs and they really dont seem to know why this is happening.

    In the past 3 weeks, I have had over 3000 impressions on one network, 400 clicks on another, and almost 80 emails . 6 conversions.
    I understand duplicate leads don't get paid for but 6 out of 80?

    Scrubbing could be the problem. Many times it is - it's part of the CPA game.

    So, consider running "no scrub" offers. Check out the incentivized network, Adscend Media, - they usually have quite a few of those. They're great to run for a few weeks, but then they fizzle out. But still... probably one of the quickest ways to pull $10 - $20 a day without much traffic.

    That is good advice and good attitude to take towards scrubbing.

      It's probably not scrubbing. I don't know why that's the first thing people have to say when someone posts about offers not converting. Incentive offers, including content unlocking ones, will only credit 10-20% of the time, on average, and that's based on unique clicks, not total clicks. It's even less with path offers of which almost all incentive email submit offers are these days.
