Is Azoogle Really that Great?

Discussion in 'Affiliate Programs' started by gamefray, Jul 15, 2007.

    I joined awhile ago, but never gave it very much attention. I am also the member of many other CPA, or CPL networks. I have tried promoting offers like that, but they never paid out for me. What I mainly use is CJ, Amazon, Clickbank, and Linkshare. All 4 of those work really well for me.

    So I guess what I am asking is this? What makes AzoogleAds stand out from any of the other thousands of CPA, CPL, or CPS networks? Like IncentaClick, LeaderMarkets, Maxbounty, etc...

    I like how i can talk to my Affiliate manager 5-6 days a weeks and ask questions. I don't know of any other program that does that.

    I like the high payouts although there's some others with higher payouts at the moment.

    What I like most of all is the weekly payments.

    I have stopped using Azoogle completely.

    Other networks pay more on the same offer. On more than one occasion my rep (Matthew Mirman) has said there is nothing he can do. (This will be costing them $2k/month as I have switched to the other network.)

    Because of errors that were their fault, they have discarded hundreds of my clicks by redirecting them to an error page even though it was good traffic. This happened 2-3 times to me this year so far. Azoogle has NEVER paid me for the traffic or reimbursed me in any way and I asked every time.

    Also, reps come and go all the time and not all reps are created equal. I used to chat with my rep all the time but she left and I never talk to my new rep.

    I don't know if they are THAT great, I know I make good money with them and I know they pay on time.

    Didn't hear any horror stories or too much bad rep about them, like Scotia King here. I did hear stories about conversions not showing up and sellers not paying on some other networks.

    Oh wow! They'll be missing out on your big $2,000!

    Okay bottem line Azoogle has my loyalty. I literally owe my life to them!

    The only thing they pay lower for is shady email submit crap like paid surveys. Other than that they've got the highest payouts in the industry.

    Azoogle is awsome, esspecially Mathew Mirman. He's gotten to become a personal friend.

    I've managed to survive and make a high six figure income because of Azoogle.

    I disagree. Azoogle pays lower for many offers. I have seen higher payouts on ringtones and other $10+ CPA offers on other networks.

    Azoogle has never been able to raise their CPA to match or beat any other network that was higher when I asked.


    Well, I'm glad he has helped someone.

    I realize my $2000 per month may not be much when compared with you or whomever else, but that's still $24k in revenue per year lost from just me - and that's not chump change.

    I'm glad that Azoogle has helped you survive and kept you alive, etc. But for me I have been disappointed.

    The main thing is their managers. If you have a good affiliate manager, Azoogleads really is the best. At least in my experience. I got a call from my AM telling me the latest offers, good suggestions, etc.

    Neverblueads is also another good one. The best part about neverblue is they give you good payout increases which is always an easy way to increase your eCPC with no work. If you sign up via my affiliate link, ask for Mitali in your App... she's really good.

    The other pretty good network is Copeac. So far, I'm making around $100 bucks/day there and have only talked to my Affiliate manager once... and I was the one who initiated the email. BUT, the offer I am running is converting better than all the other networks :D. So overall, the payouts are great but the managers, as far as my experience goes, are not really... well good. Maybe I just got a bad one though.

    So all that to say, they all have their ups and downs. You make the most by shopping around for the best offers.

    Yea. There is an offer I was running that about 3 in 80 clicks would get stuck and go to a blank page. It's important to check for those type of things. Switching to an almost identical LP on another network upped my comversions and ecpc a bit. :)

    Also, Azoogle does not have the highest payouts for a LOT of offers. Many times you wont find the exact offer in another network but you can find one nearly identical (as far as the LP goes) and the payout will be higher.

    For example: a ringtone offer which I was getting $13 CPA for at Azoogle. I decided to switch to a competitor and they had the same offer with $13.50 CPA. My account manager there bumped it up to $14.50 right away (without me even asking).

    This other place also has a couple ringtone offers which are paying $16+ CPA.

    Sure it's possible to have the same program with different CPA, that will happen because of the network or the advertiser. I'm not hooked up with too many networks. Do you have examples of the same exact offers with different CPA?

    There are literally hundreds of different offers in the same niche with different compensation. In the dating niche there are offers that pay $1.5 per sale/lead and others that pay $30 per sale/lead in the same network, that has nothing to do with azoogle paying more or less.

    Azoogle has a good amount of Zip and email only offers and also have a great deal of pay per lead offers. Clickbank only seems to have CPS as far as I know.

    I did apply but they hold my application because my domain info is private. They afraid I'm some kind of conmen. Did send them copy of purchase and invoice of my domain but they still want screen shot.. Hmm... maybe they are just playing safe.. or maybe its just me..
