CPA offers in Classified ad sites - Allowed?

    Hi guys!

    I would like to start promoting CPA offers in free classified ad sites, but I've heard people saying that CPA networks do not allow this type of advertising and that classified ad sites ban your ads when you promote CPA offers.

    Is all that true?
    Is there a way to promote CPA offers in classified ad sites in compliance with CPA networks?

    Thanks in advance!

    kind of depends on the network.. I know people doing $400 a day on craigslist, however I think its a very grey area. I say ask your AM or cloak your links so they can not see the source of traffic ; )

    Yeah, these guys are correct.
    Most networks don't allow it but there are some that do. You should ask your AM

    You can get away with it from ANY CPA company if done correctly and you blank out the refer. Just set up a double meta refresh.

    would be : ww.yourdomain.com/URL1.php
    <?php
        $referer = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
        if($referer == "")
        {
            echo "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;url=URL2\">";    
        }
    ?>
    
    PHP:
    which would forward on to yourdomaincom/URL2.php
    
    <?php
        $referer = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
        if($referer == "")
        {
            echo "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;url=http://www.youraffiliatelink.com\">";    
        }
    ?>
    
    
    PHP:
    SO basicly post on the classified site that directs you customers to yourdomain.com/url1.php and you should be all set.

    And if you AM calls wanting to know where the refer is coming from tell him you do not want him or anyone else stealing your traffic ideas. :cool:

    Simply as above, blank the referrer so they dont know where your traffic is coming from. I wouldn't do this with CJ though, they don't allow blank referrers.
