CPALead is the most annoying of all

    CPALead has the most annoying ads ever. I gave up on websites that I visit often and have moved to another website because of the forceful methods that CPALead uses. I think it drives all loyal visitors away! I can totally see it coming where CPAlead's forceful methods will eventually ruin it for everyone else and lead to more FTC regulations.

    I would like to see how long that lasts for you. The day you realize your CPAlead revenues are dry, you'll have no loyal visitors to fall back on.

    The worst is when you visit sites that supposedly allow for streaming movies or shows online, and right when the episode is about to start playing you get that popup which darkens the rest of the screen and says you need to fill out a survey before watching the episodes. Bunch of BS I say, and there's no way those sites actually earn money when there are real websites out there which allow visitors to actually watch tv shows without needing to fill out surveys

    Exactly! It's such a turn off and I do not think ANYONE would want to fill out a give-me-more-spam survey (at least that's what the average visitor thinks). I'll admit it does rake in some money, but I'll guarantee it won't be long before their websites become deserted.

    It's like this: Why would your friends/family/co-workers want to come to over to visit you at home if you always badger them to sign up for a Free Walmart Giftcard everytime before they can come in?

    Those who earn money with us typically reinvest a portion of their money back into marketing to make up for any loss of traffic which is why we are a growing company. If you do not want to complete a survey to earn special content, then try finding a site that doesn't monetize their content.

    If you have a website and your goal is to make money, then we're your best bet. On average, our clients are earning around 30 cents a click on USA traffic (And we allow and encourage you to tell your visitors to click a survey to earn your content!).

    If Adsense was such a better way to earn money, we would not exist. Sure Adsense on some occasions may pay you 5-10 cents a click, but you have to HOPE someone clicks on an ad. If you tell your traffic to click on your Adsense ads, Google will ban your account and revoke your earnings. If you tell your USA traffic to click on a CPAlead survey to earn your unique content, you earn an average of 30 cents a click.

    What arrogance. Thanks for taking the time to rationalize and justify for how annoying your ads are. While you may be superior to some when maximizing monetization, it does not mean you are doing it in a good fashion. I mean, who would not monetize well if they were forcing every visitor to convert?

    I can put it this way too. I could be raising money for Breast Cancer foundation and use forceful methods to get that money from people, then I can tell everyone else "If [Bake Sales] was such a better way to earn money, we would not exist." Also, proving that you guys are monetizing content better does not mean your ads are not annoying.

    I would wager that the returning visitor rate would be near zero too.

    EDIT: I really just want a discussion with the community rather than a battle with CPALead representatives.

    @Dmak02 i dont know whats ur problem but you cant just say someones products (in this case ads) are annoying. To be honest ADS=Annoying. And if you ask about loyal users then the users are searching net for free (actually those things are not free) things. And one or other way they (loyal users) are violating law and because of them we are encouraged to make tv/movie sites. They dont have the right to be annoyed. We (Cpalead Users) are giving them free things and showing ads to make those things free. Why dont you remove all ads from your site or sites so you can serve ur loyal visitors more.

    You're assuming I was accessing illegal content which does not apply, next. Also, why can't I say their ads are annoying?

    Why should I need to remove all my ads? I said CPAleads were annoying, I didn't say all ads were annoying. You said that, not me. I did not ask you to remove your ads nor did I say people should. I said this is what I think and what I think is this:
    I said I think CPAlead's ads drives loyal visitors away, that's it. Thanks! So what's your problem?

    i've seen someone's cpaleads earnings at $97,000 for 21 days of a month so to say people won't fill in surveys etc is ludicrious at the least, there are plenty of cpalead publishers earning $1,000 a day

    It's not that hard to by pass, you just have to know how to do it :). I use cpalead on one of my sites. I make probably 500 - 1000% more with cpalead than chitika. After one year with chitika: $18.97. Ten days with cpalead: ~$11.00, pays SO much more.

    It may monetize better and I can see why, but I'm say their ads are more annoying.

    If I get to watch a movie or tv show after filling a survey, I don't see why I should complain about it.

    Of course, if your site had content that can be found elsewhere without a survey then people will simply go to the other site. However, if your content is totally unique and the visitors really want to see it, they'll fill out a survey. I've earned quite a bit with CPALead and it's good. You can also give visitors the option of closing the widget, so then you must hope that some do a survey.

    Oh boy, that is not a good analogy... -facepalm
