    1. No you do not unless you think the content is questionable
    2. That isn't a good idea because the users can not even see what content you have to offer.

    Alright, it's been a few days now since I joined and
    I think I need to understand a few things:

    1. What makes a survey converts (when a click become a lead)?
    And what makes it doesn't?

    2. If the click doesn't become a lead, would my content be
    unlocked nevertheless?

    3. If my website is a Gaming site... will it make a better conversion
    if I show only Gaming surveys? Or it doesn't matter at all?

    4. If I go Preview my Widget, and click some surveys to see
    how it looks like... Am I allowed to do that? Will that count as a click?
    (I'm not filling up the surveys, just taking a look)

    5. Is it best to keep only 2-3 surveys and disable all the others?
    I read so many posts mentioning this...

    Thanks.

    1. What makes a survey converts (when a click become a lead)?
    And what makes it doesn't?


    A click becomes a lead when the survery is completed, this is USUALLY when the user has got to the part where they have to enter all of their details correctly

    2. If the click doesn't become a lead, would my content be
    unlocked nevertheless?


    Your content will be unlocked when the user completes the lead not just the click

    3. If my website is a Gaming site... will it make a better conversion
    if I show only Gaming surveys? Or it doesn't matter at all?


    If would be better converting if you could find enough gaming surveys but its likely that you wont. Try instead of looking for surveys on your niche look for surveys on your sites demographics. Gaming may well be Males 18-30, they are hardly going to want to fill out a offer for 'Do you think your High Maintainence?' are they?

    4. If I go Preview my Widget, and click some surveys to see
    how it looks like... Am I allowed to do that? Will that count as a click?
    (I'm not filling up the surveys, just taking a look)


    I dont think there is anything wrong with clicking and checking out the offer page. Obviously they would frown upon you completing it yourself. Although in theory they are incentivised and your incentive is to make yourself money ;)

    5. Is it best to keep only 2-3 surveys and disable all the others?
    I read so many posts mentioning this...


    Best way i find is to monitor your stats, if you see surveys that our going 20-30 clicks with no conversions then simply set them ones to inactive. You start to get a good collection of offers. However you can just set the highest EPC offers to come up first

    Thanks.

    As per my experience given bellow web link, Cpalead deal is not fare cpalead making fraud with their signup publisher webs as when a visitor fills survey of Cpalead then contiuesly surveys come on same page and signup web owner get zero earning and cpalead earn on each survey of continually coming surveys on same page and visitors unable to access the premium contents locked page even visitor fill more than 16 pages and spend more than 30 mounts on continually coming surveys on same page

    you can check from this link: http://www.hazratsultanbahu.com/rrs/en/1.php

    That is nothing to do with cpalead. That is the nature of the incentive email submit method. The advertisers make money on the backend by having the user complete multiple offers.

    Also that link you gave is pure garbage, i cannot believe it suprises you that that doesnt make any money!

    But cpalead can set one survey when visitor click on widget one survey, so why continually surveys come on same page on one click?

    Is it not un unfair (zero result)?

    Check my given link is correct and active and try to fill one survey then you will see all story

    OK I'll install it. :) I found the Java-based control panel fairly annoying and laggy and I prefer not to use it when I can help it.

    Edit: It keeps giving me an invalid details error :/

    Thanks for the enlightment, WharfeValley Systems.

    More questions:

    1. Are my visitors required to enter their credit card info when they're doing a survey?

    2. I want to see how the U.S. survey looks like but I'm not in the U.S. How am I supposed to do that?

    3. If they filled up a survey that they have done anywhere else in the past, would they still be able to see my premium content?

    4. Here's one of the many complaints I got from my YouTube viewers that want to get in my content:
    How can such thing happened? I know I would be pissed off if I had to do a gazillion of surveys
    just to unlock one page... Anyone can explain this?

    Thank you.

    More questions:

    1. Are my visitors required to enter their credit card info when they're doing a survey?

    Not for the surveys, there are offers which require you to enter mobile number or CC details. You can choose what type of offers to run in the widget options

    2. I want to see how the U.S. survey looks like but I'm not in the U.S. How am I supposed to do that?

    Use a Proxy

    3. If they filled up a survey that they have done anywhere else in the past, would they still be able to see my premium content?

    This im not sure about, when they fill in their details certain companies may cross check with their database and if its already in there it may throw an error.

    4. Here's one of the many complaints I got from my YouTube viewers that want to get in my content:

    Yep unfortunately if you want to use CPALead as a revenue source you are going to have to accept that its going to piss your visitors off A LOT!

    The amount of complaints i have had is massive, although as i dont care about my visitors it serves as a good laugh for me when i receive the emails. People threatening to take me to court, come find where i live blah blah.

    IMO, that condition is not good for CPAlead future, people will be aware and more aware and probably will hate CPAlead gateway...

    i think its well known that people hate the CPAlead gateway. Hense its use was quickly banned on several video sharing sites like Sidereel.

    No, I am not talking PPC type. I mean is there banner/image that can be used to promote survey?

    Is gateway the only way to promote surveys in CPAlead?

    Is there banner/image that I can put on my webpages and then if some visitors click on this banner/image then he/she will be directed to survey page ?

    When I was figuring out what was going on with CPALead I felt the same way.

    However, CPALead allows an "honest" and upfront method to monetize certain materials. I would imagine (I can only guess) that the people who are looking for this content, if they thought about it, would be releived to know that the webmaster is monetizing via these offers rather than via the many stealth installs, trojans and horrendous malware that has been used to monetize so much of the 'free' downloads in the past.

    As far as the types of content that appear to be successsful with CPALead, the 'user experience' on this type of site has never been top priority. The gateway has given these publishers a chance to make their websites cleaner, easier to view, less dangerous with bad PPI and other programs, and altogether more user-friendly over all.

    I know some people that will jump through tremendous hoops to get something for "free". It's like winning 'prizes' with your skeeball tickets.

    It seems you have to have something that has a specific value to the consumer (they FEEL it is worth money to them) and then find the people who don't want to pay cash for it.

    At that point, it doesn't matter whether you care about your visitors or not. Just like they're not HAPPY to spend their money on the things they need (like food), they may not be HAPPY to pay for what you are giving. But if the personal value is there, they'll do the offers, and you'll earn.

    CPALead does not provide creatives for your campaigns. You have to come up with your own. The gateway is their baby and it's what they do, there's no real support in place for direct offer promotion.

    It is allowed, you can get your URLs from the control panel. But no creatives.

    nope no banner or anything like that. not sure if they plan to implement anything like that in the future or not. you would have to ask the developers about that

    I agree with some of the insights here.

    Surveys are too long that tends to annoy my visitors. After two weeks of using it I'm getting a ratio of

    60 click / 4 leads

    with an average income of $3 to $6.

    My traffic is now decreasing, cpalead needs to make action about this one and needs to shorten the no. of surveys per click.

    For those that are having issues with "long surveys" please be sure to check on these few things:

    - Make sure you haven't disabled a bunch of surveys, we see this often, publisher will go in and disable surveys that are lower than $X.XX amount, or disable a bunch except the few that they want.

    - Make sure your formula isn't set to "Advanced" or "Strictly EPC" these will favor mobile offers or offers that require more work to do.

    If you haven't disabled a bunch of surveys, and your formula isn't advanced or epc, then there may be an issue with traffic quality on your website.
