I am brand new in CPA world.Two weeks back I Joined in peerfly and started promoting through CPC in 7search. Spending $25 I made $39 in 3 days. That's awesome! Then I started promoting another product "Diet Patch". But this time clicks are not converting. I Spent 20 bucks with no luck. I have noticed 7 search Traffic is not good. I am planning to go with Big Guys(Google, Bing). But they don't allow direct referral link. I already got banned from Bing for doing that. I did not know. Those guys are so cruel !

So I am planning to make a website. Just today bought the domain paidandfree.com and have hosting account in HostGator. Now If I make a wordpress website and add the CPA Offer links in that site how will it work?

Can I do PPC campaign in Google and BING for several pages of that site? I am planning to put same type of offers in one page. So instead of promoting home page, I will be promoting individual pages as landing page. Is it ok?

My 2nd question. If I promote in this way, Under what kind of promotion method it falls ? Search PPC? Contextual?

Thanks for your help in advance

    You are on the right track but I am not a huge fan of 7search the traffic doesn't seem like very quality traffic imo. Also I get your frustration with not being able to direct link with Google and Bing. I would try FB, much more optimizing options. (They don't like direct linking either) Just pay $10 for a domain name and forward it ... Technically not the best option but it tends to work ... For NOW

      Thank you very much. I came to know about 7 search just 2 weeks ago. I don't like its traffic. Thanks for your Tip. But right now I want to test Google and Bing. Then FB later

      Right now I am going towards creating a simpe website which will have several landing pages. I am concerned if I promote different landing pages from same website, Is it okay with google and Bing?

      My website will be www.paidandfree.com. I will not promote that url. I will be promoting www.paidandfree.com/freeStuffs something like that. Please help from your rexperience.

    Good deal, Bing is great but only has keyword/search type advertising. I would suggest really digging into Google so you can learn how to place your targets on specific sites and maximize optimization.

    I think you're abandoning 7 Search a little too quickly. You were able to have a profitable go at it initially, so you know the traffic is not totally worthless, as some people will claim. Why don't you keep running the original campaign that was making money for you?

    Also, I know the Diet Patch offer pays out around $40. Spending $20 on a $40 payout offer is nowhere near an adequate test to even know if an offer will convert. Offers that have higher payouts tend to be harder to convert. You'll typically need to spend several times the payout of an offer to consider it a good test.

    The traffic quality from 7 Search is not the best, certainly not as good as Bing or Google. That's why it's that much cheaper. Also, are you tracking and blocking bad referrer sites? That alone can go a long way toward improving your traffic quality.

    I think you're generally taking the right approach for advertising on Bing and Google, but if you abandon those plans just as quickly as you did on 7 Search when things aren't working out, success in CPA will remain elusive.

      Thanks for all your advices. I will not abandon 7 search so early. I will keep testing and see what works and what not. I think 7 search is not good for selling stuffs.

      I am not familiar with Bad referrer site.

      I will also keep trying with Bing and Google. Even though I am trying several search engines, I am mostly sticked to PPC.

      O yes! the way I am planning to promote in Google and Bing is ok with their rule? I mean creating several landing pages in one website and promoting those pages. i. e I will not promote my main website www.paidandfree.com. I will promote something like www.paidandfree.com/freestuffs

    You should stick with this campaign, it was working.

    A big mistake people make as a newbie is jumping around way too much.

    Try scaling it up a bit, and tweaking it. Did you block bad referrers? Track non-converting keywords?
