Azoogle Ads- How Do We Get Paid?

[Claymation]

I recently got approved for Azoogle ads and while I am busy inserting their banners into my site, I have no idea what their terms such as "Payout" mean.
Can't for the life of me find anything on the site explaining what each and every program does for me, and how it pays me as a Publisher.

Are banner ads CPM, or PPC?

Text links...same problem.

Basically- just wondering how I get paid ; )

Thanks for any help in this matter!

[EGS]

I am sure they payout by check or money order as an option, but I do believe that they also pay publishers by PayPal.

Have you checked their website out? I know a guy who uses them and makes quite a lot of money...never did ask him how they paid him though. :p

:D:D:D

[Claymation]

Actually, I'm wondering what they are doing in order for me to make money.
Are there any PPC programs?
Are my banners on a pay-per-thousand impression only basis?

[fryman]

CPA is what they offer only

[Claymation]

So what exactly is the "action" that a clicker needs to take after clicking a banner- in order for me to get paid what they claim as a "payout" figure?

Thanks.

[fryman]

Depends, you need to read the description of the program you want to promote. Some need the visitor to just enter their email or phone number, others need a form filled, others need a file to be downloaded, etc.

Azoogle is one of my clients now. So I wanted to also mention they just added direct deposit as a payment option.

But yes Fryman is right about how you EARN commish. Depends on the offer and is spelled out right in each offers detail.

[SportsOutlaw]

All the offers are different, and they are all affiliate based. Depending on the offer, you may get paid for a simply name and email address, or the end user may actually have to spend some money.

Read their program over closely, pay attention to their terms of service. (just updated their T.O.S. in the last week). If you have any questions, don't be afraid to call them, or if you have an assigned account manager, you can instant message him or whatever means of access he has for you.

AFAIK, check and now direct deposit - which is a new thing. Never noticed a PayPal option like someone said.

[JonathanLyons]

"Payout" refers to the amount you will recieve for the required action on that offer. For example, if it says $1.00/lead. You will receive $1.00 for every lead you generate from the banner you place on your site for example. So when a user clicks on the Azoogle banner on your site, and then they complete the required action, whatever it may be (different for every offer), then you will get credited with that $1.

Feel free to ask any other questions, we are a similar network to azoogle, so if you can't get answeres from them, I will be more then happy to help. :)

Too bad all of us were told that direct deposit would go in today.. then when we checked... nothing!

I got an email saying it will be ready for next month.. I like azoogle but they need to work on their communication.

Linda-

When you say "client" what are you helping them do???

[velocity834]

payout means like when they send u a payment

[5starAffiliates]

Hi Stuart, for all my clients I do advertising, PR and consulting. But it's kind of a unique blend so it's hard to explain, since no one else has a business model like mine. I also personally consider myself an affiliate advocate. That's not something I get paid to do, thats just what I do - a passion, I guess you could call it. So I do what I can to make a positive impact for our industry.

[Claymation]

Jonathan-
It appears you only offer CPA accounts, yet you speak vaguley of PPC on your site.
Do you offer both?

Thanks for all the help so far- its appreciated.

[Caydel]

5StarAffiliates,

just out of curiosity, Azoogle promotes this offer:

http://www.ratetheoffers.com/offer_profile.php?id=172&sort=vote_date

How do you view clients of yours promoting such obvious scams?

I just found about this myself, and am pulling my offers from these guys. I mean, while we are all in it to make money, promoting offers from scams and frauds like these is unethical, and possibly borderline illegal. How does this fit in with your views for Azoogle?

This isn't meant to be an attack on Azoogle - I like them, and promote their offers myself. But I am just curious how you would approach this, seeing as they are one of your clients now...

[5starAffiliates]

Thanks Caydel for that link. I wonder if Azoogle even knows about these complaints. I wasn't aware and hate unethical marketing. This one sounds pretty bad. Can't believe companies can get away with this kind of stuff.

My pleasure! :)


As for PPC, we have PPC offers that come and go. We are primarily CPA/CPL/CPS. With PPC, if the advertiser feels they have received enough traffic or aren't making enough, they reduce their PPC payout, so we then pull it from our network, because it just wouldn't be worth it for our affiliates to waste their time and efforts for such a low payout. So we are picky about the PPC offers we place on our network, so PPC offers come and go on our network. I wish I could tell you we ALWAYS have some PPC offers up, but I'd be lying. We put them up as they are presented to us and no telling how long they will remain active and profitable for all. :)

If their are any specific type of PPC offers you are looking for, feel free to PM me, and I can let you know if we have it, or if I know of any other reliable networks or programs where you can find it! :)

You can get your money threw paypal if you send them an e-mail explaining how more convient it would be for you

[Mia]

At this point I am thinking it would be more convenient. I've not seen a check since January. They said something is wrong with the US/Canada mail. Strange. I'm patient, but keeping accurate accounting records is real difficult because there is no online record of payout. All I have to go by are check stubs.

Hopefully I am the only one with this problem. Over all, I like Azoogle, and have done pretty well with them. I just think the accounting process might have a little ways to go.

You haven't been doing the wire transfer? I find it much better then a check, since it is in my bank account on the 15th or next business day. Try and cash a big check at the bank, and it will be on hold forever (in my experience).

[Mia]

What wire transfer? They don't have wire transfer yet! This is Azoogle we are talking about, not CJ or AdSense...


Do you know something the rest of us don't?

[whitespider]

Claymation - I think its good that you are using this forum to ask your questions and when people like Matt give you answers they will invariable be good ones.

Please don't take this the wrong way but why the heck are you adding banners to your site before you even understand your product? You MUST understand your product and your market in ANY business and this is no less true for an "online" business too.

I believe that good research and good record keeping are the key to success with a good marketing aptitude a close 3rd place.

I must?? Shoemoney told me about it. I asked my rep about it and she said it is offered to everybody. You just have to pay $16 a month for it.

Note that there is a difference between wire transfer and direct deposit. Wire transfers are done manually, and there are charges on both ends. You pay azoogle and your bank (depending on the bank, anywhere from 10-20 bucks). It costs me a total of $28 per month, but I find it well worth it to have my money on the 15th. If somebody is waiting for $50 bucks or something, it may not be the best idea... but if you make more then that, it may be worth that little bit of money. ;)

[Mia]

Something does not sound right here. They were going to do wire transfers, actually direct deposit.

See here: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=72622&highlight=direct+deposit

Look who started the thread.

However when that day came and went I asked my rep again, and he said oops, it is delayed for another month.

To the best of my knowledge Azoogle does not do dd.

Wait, ok, now I see what you are saying... I am confusing WT with DD. Ok... Yeah, I am close to going this route, mainly because I have not seen a check since January. I like Azoogle, do very well with them, and love the commuication! But getting paid has been a difficult one. Am I the only one with this issue? Every month I am told the payment went out, but it never shows up. Should I be worried here?

If it ever does arrive, it should be a nice sized check given the back months involved... Cash flow is everything..

Thanx for the clarification btw..

I would just do the wire transfer. The one check I did get was on the 23rd or something. And then it took a while to clear. If you do any volume whatsoever, I would just pay the 20-30 bucks. It might not matter now since they are getting the direct deposit next month (hopefully).

[Mia]

That blows... My rep never mentioned wire transfer, just DD, which was supposed to start this month... If I do not see a check tomorrow I think I will just look into the wire transfer.

Thanx.

I was inserting the banners on my editor version of the site before turning it "live".
Part of my research on them was coming here to ask those with knowledge of this company. I hate to wait for email responses ; )
Having said that, I must admit- at this point I'm impressed with their customer service as it has been adequate since initiating some dialogue with them.

[JonathanLyons]

Be careful when requesting to be paid via pay pal. Sometimes paypal will refuse the deposited funds, due to limits on the amount some accounts can send or receive. So make sure you will be able to receive whatever amounts you intend to earn before selecting that option. :)

[Shoemoney]

there wire transfer has always been rock solid for me. I deal with Chantelle and I highly recomend her.

I am having dinner with the azoogle co-founders, ceo and chantelle tomorrow night in Toronto (long way for me lol) so anyone have any feedback they want to let them know email me jeremy@shoemoney.com

[fryman]

Shoemoney, tell them to fix their damn paypal problem, they stopped using paypal a couple of months ago and being paid via check is a pain in the butt for foreign publishers!

I would say timely and accurate payments would be a good start.

[MattEvers]

Yeah, I got shorted like $1500 one month on my wire transfer. They corrected the problem, but it cost me another twenty bucks at my bank for another transfer. They seem to be doing everything better lately, though. :D

can azoogle ads be used with google ads in the same site?
