    For PPC CPA Affiliates:

    Im just starting with CPA networks and to be honest I have no idea about CPA conversion rates.
    There are many email submit offers that have converted very well for me with other promotions strategies, but the payouts are very small so...
    What is the Minimum Offer Payout you would promote with PPC to gain a decent ROI?

    Thanks,
    Ricky

    Ehrm...that's not really a valid question

    Given the right traffic, certain CPA offers can be profitable with a payout as low as $0.50-$1...but some offers aren't going to be profitable with a CPA under $20, regardless of your traffic

    Im talking about highly targeted PPC - Google Adwords traffic

    Dude if the question is dumb just answer it. You may be an experienced affiliate or at least think you are one but not everyone who visits this forum knows the basics of CPA affiliate marketing.

    That doesn't change anything

    Highly targeted or not, there is no "minimum payout" for an offer to be profitable...I suppose, technically speaking, anything under $0.10 is going to be extremely hard to make profitable...but that's a moot point, because there is no such thing as an affiliate offer with a payout that low

    Here you go:

    (Revenue per lead) * (Conversion ratio) > Cost per click

    That's the PPC/CPA profit formula.

    Basically there's no real way to answer that as it depends on your cost per click and your conversion rate. If you make $17 off of one sale, have a conversion rate of 1%, and pay $0.15 per click....

    100 clicks @ $0.15 = $15
    1% equals 1 sale @ $17

    You make $2 per sale. Of course if you pay more per click, have a better or worse conversion rate, and make more or less per offer it will all be different...

    And don't forget about returns.....
