CPA Threads Go In The CPA Forum

I got accepted into AdCommunal.com and have been trying a few of their offers. I did a zip submit offer which was supposed to pay around $2.49 per zip code submit. Problem is, I paid for over 700+ clicks in PPC and received 0 conversions.

ZERO
ZIP
NADA

What upsets me is that I had my sister who lives in a completely different state enter her zip on the link. That right there should have been a conversion. I got nothing. I think something is not working on their end. I brought it up with the affiliate manager and she said no one else is complaining about it. What is also interesting is that I have tried at least 4 or 5 other offers from the same company and have received nothing as well.

Is this company reputable? Are there any reputable ones that you can recommend me getting into where I don't have to stress over whether or not my conversions are working?

Thanks a lot!

    To tell you the truth I've never heard of them... What made you go to them in the first place instead of some of the other CPA networks?

    With those 700 clicks tell me you captured their email address in your own system.

    Something tells me you didn't but if however you start capturing those emails into your own list system like Aweber, Get Response, Imnica, or whatever then at least you will be building a real business.

    People don't seem to understand that when you pay for clicks and don't build your list you are leaving money on the table. If you capture those leads, send them your own offer and then send them to the Zip Submit offers later you are the one in control.

    So let's say you spent $1 per click so that works out to $700. Now let's say you capture 45% of those leads because you have a rockin' squeeze page you tested before buying traffic. So you have a list of 315 subscribers.

    You can continue to make money from that list again and again if you treat them right.

    What people don't realize is the LTV (Lifetime Value) of each subscriber. Of course the LTV could be a week or it could be 1 or 2 years, that all depends on you and how you correspond with them. Give them immense value and your LTV per subscriber will increase.

    Build a place they can all hang out like a blog where they can comment on your quality and timely posts and you will increase your profits even more.

    Catch my drift?

      Well, I did not get email addresses unfortunately The value of an email is actually very important -- i know. But where I'm failing to see value is in the idea that if I market products to them, and my affiliate network is not converting my sales....well the emails become pointless. lol

    True it sounds like you need to promote something different that actually pays you for your conversions...

    Mike, how are you going about capturing emails? Just having a signup form placed well on the page or a pop up that makes them give their email before viewing your site?
