Official Cpalead.com - General Discussion / Network Performance

I agree, conversions were terrible over the weekend but I don't know if it was ever down for me. Weekends are my highest earners and with the volume of traffic I send this down time cannot happen.

 

any news from cpalead?

 

No this hasn't happened in over 2 months. The server was a little stressed from running great for 2 weeks straight, it simply needed to be reset. This problem only lasted for less than 2 hours.

Bill22 - You're not even a publisher with our network and every time you post it's something bad about us that isn't even truthful, what is the motive?

upd: Thanks to Jeremy! He was so kind and helpful I have installed everything I needed No need to help at the moment

 

It would be nice if there was an email notification sent to publishers about the downtime so we know what's going on.

 

Hey Troy,

Just so you know, the problem didn't just last for two hours. I was on a train on Saturday afternoon going to San Francisco and couldn't get my stats. On my way back several hours later, I tried again, and got a SQL error on my "referrals" page. After that, several other connection issues with the site, and "Service Unavailable" messages.

When I left to go to SFO at 12 noon (PST) I had 1400 hits and about $105 (I checked so I'd know; I like to be on top of my stats); I ended the day with over 4000 hits and only $165. So, 1400 hits convert to $105, and 4000 convert to $165, from the same sources? I'm telling ya, the site wasn't recording hits on Saturday for a long time.

After people complained on here, someone from your team came and said they fixed it. At that point, it was fine for me.

Then on Sunday (yesterday) it was occurring again for a few hours. My hits come from the same places, the same types of people, and I have a good idea after working with you guys since November as to what the "hits on my site to hits on cpalead" ratio is, and I'm telling you, it was WAY off this weekend. I mean wayyy off.

I hope my details help you find the problem, because if you're only seeing 2 hours of downtime on your end, something isn't being recorded correctly.

These sorts of issues very strongly financially affect some of us on here who make considerable money with cpalead, so is there any kind of "support" phone number we can call in the case that there is another downtime on the weekend when you all aren't in the office? There needs to be some method in place because it means the difference of hundreds of dollars to some of us for the site (or its recording abilities) to be down just a few hours. Also, is the main cpalead site server and the stats/traffic server one and the same, or are they separate?

 

So, ppl, today i'm starting my experiment. I've placed a page where I ask my visitors to complete at least one survey to keep the service running. I'll watch success for at least 5 days and then I'll see, which solution is better - to force them fill surveys to get my content, or to give it for free, but ask to support us, as they liked the content.

Have anyone the same experience in the past?

 

That's like putting a donation paypal button up on one page and asking for donations, and requiring them to pay on another page.

I'm guessing more people are going to do it when they have to, lol.

 

how is cpalead compared to zango?
do you notice an increase in money?

 

TheGrecianHero

I don't know, maybe you are right Anyway, it's just 5 days. Will see

topcash
My earnings with cpalead are higher than with zango.

 

when does cpalead pay?

 

End of the month. Net-30

 

can I use a website without content. I lost my database but I still receive 5000visit/day

 

Duplicate/Bad/Fake Leads - 4-03-09

bad leads i suddenly got 11 of them today with the above date is that the date they they where made


also can you make it show which gateway or active display produced the bad lead and a ip address or the subid if it was produced from the active survey display then that member can be banned from the site

 

jehnidiah - I appreciate the feedback and I found out yesterday that our impression tracking was slowing down everything on our network. We have stopped tracking impressions for now until we can find a better way to track impressions without jeopardizing the efficiency of our servers. Tracking impressions puts a HUGE load on our server resources especially with the recent spike in traffic. The problem that happened this weekend is not typical as I'm sure you know, so hopefully there wont be a need to get a hold of us on the weekend too often. If you would like to call us, our phone number is 866-996-4666

budd81 - I'm putting in a work order right now to have the user editor implemented, thanks for the great idea.

 

I would like to know tips how you guys implement CPALead, currently testing many things out. Like longer teasing times/ no teasing times/ on homepage/ random sometimes it will show sometimes not.

What have worked for you the best ?

 

Thank you very much for the update Troy, and I think disabling the impressions is a great idea for now. I appreciate the update and information.

 

I've been having pretty decent stats lately.
The last 4 days I averaged around $7.50 a day. decent for just starting out. Yesterday I got $19, and today I have over 100 clicks with only 1 $0.68 lead. Seems a little odd to me. hopefully these stats update or something.

 

There will be up and down days based off of which offers are currently in our system and the willingness of your traffic to complete a survey for your content. I would suggest not disabling any surveys if you are experiencing an occasional up and down day like this.

 

Is there site traffic requirement to signup? my site is fairly new, but I see no reason on why i could not offer something while my site grows.

Thank-You
