Adscend or CPALead for Gateway ? Which One is Better?

Discussion in 'Affiliate Programs' started by clowct79, Jul 14, 2010.

    I'm monetizing my ebooks on ebooked.org and they allow you to use either Adscend Media or CPALead gateway code.

    Does anyone have experience with both places? If so, can you recommend which one is better?

    Adscend Media converts really well, CPAlead used to make me a pretty penny but since all their US offers went AWOL it I've been with Adscend

    If your earnings are better with another network, chances are some of your offers may have been disabled due to your content (suspected of copyright). Please contact your affiliate manager for instructions on how to reinstate our top offers.

    I used to do well with CPALead before my market became saturated with the business model I was using. It wasn't CPALead's fault - just that the market dynamics changed. Payouts with CPALead were very high for me (anywhere from $0.20-$1.20 per action on average). If I could find a model to build around CPALead again - believe me, I would in a heartbeat.

    i have tried all cpalead type networks and tools and cpalead is the best by far. here are the ones i have tried and have sent at least 1000 usa clicks to

    leadbolt.com
    perfecttracking.com
    blvd-media.com
    adscendmedia.com
    dollarade.com
    blackhatcodebreaker.com
    instantdollarz.com

    cpalead has beaten them all by at least 15 cents epc usa however dollarade came the closest. i can see that if cpalead has removed your mobile offers then you would go elsewhere

    godly hasnt even open yet if im correct! I quesion the level of objectiveness. However, split testing is essential to internet marketing and everyone should try for them selves.

    CPALead doesn't have overall EPC of 15 cents these days, how can they beat others by that much?

    Blackhatcodebreaker is not an cpa network and it makes big difference which surveys you put in and where you get them from. Tatto media pays almost double than cpalead, bit for incentive or non incentive surveys.

    Actually, at the moment Pinball Publisher converts best for me. It will not be best if you just drop the code in, but with proper set up I have it beats all the rest.

    If anyone is interesting in my setup and want's to give it a shot, PM me - I don't mind sharing it.

    We have added more non-mobile quiz offers that are carrying an EPC of around 24 cents on average. Our mobiles are around 30 cents EPC on average. We are well above 15 cents EPC.

    Test the same offer across different networks to see which one converts best.

    Adscend is much better than CPALead. Why would anyone go with CPALead when you gets so much better conversions with Adscend

    OP, your best bet is to send (a statistically significant amount of) traffic to both of them and see which works best for you.

    Im not a heavy hitter when it comes to gateway traffic. I have been with cpalead for at least 4 months and I switched to adscend mid day yesterday and earned double than what I would have at cpalead. None of my surveys were every disabled from cpalead so thats not an excuse. Bottom line is adscend rocks!

    adscendmedia performs well, their gateway allows more customization, but the pre-made skins offerd are less pretty looking in my opinion
