    I recently got approved for Azoogle ads and while I am busy inserting their banners into my site, I have no idea what their terms such as "Payout" mean.
    Can't for the life of me find anything on the site explaining what each and every program does for me, and how it pays me as a Publisher.

    Are banner ads CPM, or PPC?

    Text links...same problem.

    Basically- just wondering how I get paid ; )

    Thanks for any help in this matter!

    I am sure they payout by check or money order as an option, but I do believe that they also pay publishers by PayPal.

    Have you checked their website out? I know a guy who uses them and makes quite a lot of money...never did ask him how they paid him though. :p

    :D:D:D

    Actually, I'm wondering what they are doing in order for me to make money.
    Are there any PPC programs?
    Are my banners on a pay-per-thousand impression only basis?

    So what exactly is the "action" that a clicker needs to take after clicking a banner- in order for me to get paid what they claim as a "payout" figure?

    Thanks.

    Depends, you need to read the description of the program you want to promote. Some need the visitor to just enter their email or phone number, others need a form filled, others need a file to be downloaded, etc.

    Azoogle is one of my clients now. So I wanted to also mention they just added direct deposit as a payment option.

    But yes Fryman is right about how you EARN commish. Depends on the offer and is spelled out right in each offers detail.

    All the offers are different, and they are all affiliate based. Depending on the offer, you may get paid for a simply name and email address, or the end user may actually have to spend some money.

    Read their program over closely, pay attention to their terms of service. (just updated their T.O.S. in the last week). If you have any questions, don't be afraid to call them, or if you have an assigned account manager, you can instant message him or whatever means of access he has for you.

    AFAIK, check and now direct deposit - which is a new thing. Never noticed a PayPal option like someone said.

    "Payout" refers to the amount you will recieve for the required action on that offer. For example, if it says $1.00/lead. You will receive $1.00 for every lead you generate from the banner you place on your site for example. So when a user clicks on the Azoogle banner on your site, and then they complete the required action, whatever it may be (different for every offer), then you will get credited with that $1.

    Feel free to ask any other questions, we are a similar network to azoogle, so if you can't get answeres from them, I will be more then happy to help. :)

    Too bad all of us were told that direct deposit would go in today.. then when we checked... nothing!

    I got an email saying it will be ready for next month.. I like azoogle but they need to work on their communication.

    Linda-

    When you say "client" what are you helping them do???

    Hi Stuart, for all my clients I do advertising, PR and consulting. But it's kind of a unique blend so it's hard to explain, since no one else has a business model like mine. I also personally consider myself an affiliate advocate. That's not something I get paid to do, thats just what I do - a passion, I guess you could call it. So I do what I can to make a positive impact for our industry.

    Jonathan-
    It appears you only offer CPA accounts, yet you speak vaguley of PPC on your site.
    Do you offer both?

    Thanks for all the help so far- its appreciated.

    5StarAffiliates,

    just out of curiosity, Azoogle promotes this offer:

    http://www.ratetheoffers.com/offer_profile.php?id=172&sort=vote_date

    How do you view clients of yours promoting such obvious scams?

    I just found about this myself, and am pulling my offers from these guys. I mean, while we are all in it to make money, promoting offers from scams and frauds like these is unethical, and possibly borderline illegal. How does this fit in with your views for Azoogle?

    This isn't meant to be an attack on Azoogle - I like them, and promote their offers myself. But I am just curious how you would approach this, seeing as they are one of your clients now...

    Thanks Caydel for that link. I wonder if Azoogle even knows about these complaints. I wasn't aware and hate unethical marketing. This one sounds pretty bad. Can't believe companies can get away with this kind of stuff.

    My pleasure! :)


    As for PPC, we have PPC offers that come and go. We are primarily CPA/CPL/CPS. With PPC, if the advertiser feels they have received enough traffic or aren't making enough, they reduce their PPC payout, so we then pull it from our network, because it just wouldn't be worth it for our affiliates to waste their time and efforts for such a low payout. So we are picky about the PPC offers we place on our network, so PPC offers come and go on our network. I wish I could tell you we ALWAYS have some PPC offers up, but I'd be lying. We put them up as they are presented to us and no telling how long they will remain active and profitable for all. :)

    If their are any specific type of PPC offers you are looking for, feel free to PM me, and I can let you know if we have it, or if I know of any other reliable networks or programs where you can find it! :)

    At this point I am thinking it would be more convenient. I've not seen a check since January. They said something is wrong with the US/Canada mail. Strange. I'm patient, but keeping accurate accounting records is real difficult because there is no online record of payout. All I have to go by are check stubs.

    Hopefully I am the only one with this problem. Over all, I like Azoogle, and have done pretty well with them. I just think the accounting process might have a little ways to go.

    You haven't been doing the wire transfer? I find it much better then a check, since it is in my bank account on the 15th or next business day. Try and cash a big check at the bank, and it will be on hold forever (in my experience).
