CPALead earnings still down?

    Just want to get some feedback on how everyone else is doing. I put the gateways up on my sites again for a few hours yesterday and made barely anything. Basically even after the new formula calculations and testing, my earning are still in the toilet. Has anybody been able to get back up to the earning levels they used to have or is everyone doing as badly as I am? I will be getting rid of CPALead completely if things continue this way. Very disappointing considering my initial earnings and the gateway's potential.

    Mine is still down as well. I think it's because there are virtually no offers that monetize any international traffic now. None of them convert at all. Before they had quite a few, and I was doing quite well on them. Ah well, time to look for something new.

    Mine are ok at the moment. My traffic quality has dropped so my earnings have dropped a bit. But i always earned around about the same EPC as what im getting now so no huge change. What i have noticed is a tonne of crap surveys. Of which i go in every morning and disable everything. And then i just try maybe one at a time based on the survey page rankings.

    the day CPAlead decides to judge the quality of a survey by the EPC instead of the CR the better.

    At the moment if you have one offer that converted at 50% with an EPC of 0.15c that would be classed as better than an offer that was converting at 20% but had an EPC of 0.25c .... because of there forumula you would basically be losing out on $100 if you sent 1000 clicks.

    There is one quite good offer at the moment which is converting at 50% for me .. pity its only $0.15c EPC

    I'm pretty happy to be honest, i had my first $30 day yesterday - although that was caused by a huge bump in traffic
    Like the guy above says, there one offer that's doing very well at the moment, just a shame it a low payer.

    Yeah really there's no point wasting traffic on low converting surveys.
    I have about 3/4 US surveys.
    2 UK surveys
    2 Canada surveys
    1 Worldwide survey

    Thanks.

    Offers that pay $0.75 and convert less then the ones that pay $0.25-$0.35 etc still end up being a higher EPC. If you can get more offers like those it be great :)

    I see over 100 surveys now and finally a international offer paying pretty decent. I really hope it converts well as my international traffic makes nothing.

    Anithing below 0.40$ don`t really worth promothing ! You will have the best earnings if you test wich ones convert better for your traffic, the best ones are from 0.40-0.90$ and are continuosly in top 15! Hope that helps!

    Yeah i disable pretty much everything. Im sure the advertisers turnon/turnoff shaving. Leads which converted a million times over a week ago. Suddenly just drop right down and NEVER convert even with 100 clicks.

    OOOO and snap dollars finally for international. We shall see how that goes :)

    CPALead was doing so well at the beginning because it had multiple offers outside the US (UK, Canada, etc) that converted very well. This allowed us to monetize traffic much better than zango. Now, the only surveys that convert really for UK and Canada are Freepay Canada and Credit Card instantly UK. This is what needs to be focused on, more converting non us offers.

    An option to sort how your surveys are shown by EPC would be nice as well. Or to be able to set a bottom for the price of surveys you're showing, IE, nothing less than 0.40 for US.

    It would also be nice if we could turn off surveys by default. I hate it when I wake up in the morning and my conversions are worse than usual because a survey was added that does not convert but was turned on automatically when it was added. Until we have more control over the order the surveys are shown, they should be off by default when added so we can test them as we like.

    Best post so far :)

    All these are the best ideas basically combined to one post.

    I was also thinking about surveys off by default. Pisses me right off. But then again sometimes you do find a diamond in the rough. e.g one that converts like mad that you are glad got turned on. Also though, you have to remember that not everyone uses the gateway. So maybe that could be a reason why these changes cant be made instantly

    not true at the moment. One offer paying around 0.30c is converting at around 50% which makes it better than most
