I am running myself in circles all over the internet on this one and have read more forum posts than I ever intended to. There seems to be some experienced webmasters here, I'd love to hear from! I have been running a website for a few months and have now been approved for my first incentive advertising but I can't get it set up to get the information back on my members who complete the offers. I am not yet making any noteworthy revenue so I am not thrilled about paying for an elaborate script. I am not doing points or get paid to, I simply want the username of those that complete the incentive offers. Can anyone here point me in the right direction? Without programming knowledge? Do I need to go the script route or the call back url, or is there an easier/cheaper way? Thanks so much for any advice that you are willing to share!!
Is anybody willing to give me some guidance on this one? I'm starting to think this subject is taboo! I have looked at all the scripts for purchase but ultimately, knowing the data is in my DB, I wonder if you can do a PHP script on the page with a sub-id that would reference that? There HAS to be other webmasters retrieving member ID's from their affiliate/advertising links? For example, MaxBounty is one of my advertisers and they offer Sub-ID and Callback/Pixel reporting.. I believe most do, does anyone utilize those features to view which members clicked or completed offers?
I was in the same situation, launching my GPT site next week - (if you visit it, name in sig, it looks terrible - rest assured it is just so the site isn't blank and people can register their interest - once up the site will be incredibly good looking, I assure you - no white text on black, lol.) I actually had to get my partner who is, thank God, a genius when it comes to coding, to set it up for me - MaxBounty is supposedly much easier to set up than others such as incentrewards which has some issues; I'd suggest looking for someone to do it for you - it will cost money but honestly it is so complicated when you don't already know how. (Just one of those things, I think.) Someone who knows how likely wont charge you too much - I know it sucks to pay when you're broke but it is a vital part of incentive offers. Good luck to the both of you; maybe try getafreelancer (I think that's the big one?) for a cheap coder.
If you are interested in incentive marketing, CPAlead.com is the biggest and best. They do not accept GPT sites though. Check out their thread to see what types of sites they accept.
CPALead isn't the best for incentives. /facepalm If you are interested in incentive marketing stick (hard) to Max Bounty - the only issues anyone has had with them is being banned, which only happens when you deliberately break the rules.
Keeping thinking maxbounty is the best. I'll enjoy the benefits of better incentive networks. As for the actual topic on hand, what type of website do you have. the Subid is usually a username/mid
CPALead does NOT allow incentives - trying to convince this guy that is does is a horrible thing to do; what if actually believed you? Are you actually openly admitting on DP, the biggest webmaster forum there is, that you incentivize offers from CPALead? Honestly?
