I got accepted in a good cpa company and saw some good zip offers. But there is this shady method below. So the offer is zip/email. Win an iphone 4 blabla The descriptions say you can promote is with email threw search and people have to give the email payout is 1,25. Seems simply enought right. But giving your email will only give you a click and no conversion. You have to do the following 3 steps all so. Way below there is this big disclaimer what people have to do. 1. fill in email 2. fill in personal information 3. fill in at least 2 surveys To receive the gift for this promotion you must: 1) register with valid information; 2) complete the user survey; 3) complete at least 6 Silver, 6 Gold and 8 Platinum offers WTF So you may know or not that cpadiamonds became a scam site but it still works and has some of the same offers. So i tested some out even if my account got banned don't care because they are scamming anyway. So I gave a email and got redirected had to fill in my info then I had to fill in 2 surveys THEN i got redirected again and had to fill in my email and zip. I mean come on all that for 1,25$ ??? How the hell do you promote something like that? I'm writing this because I was promoting it and got a lot of clicks but no conversions and didn't understand what was going wrong. And maybe someone is having the same problem just my two cents
Well whoever joined cpadiamonds should have known better. Absolutely no blackhat friendly networks survive. The leads never convert for the advertiser in which they refuse to pay the network. Then network then can't pay their affiliates. Promoting CPA the blackhat way is not a sustainable income. I wouldn't quit your day job to promote offers the blackhat way.
I agree with you. Here are some good articles about how Email Submits work: http://www.oooff.com/php-affiliate-seo-blog/general/understanding-how-email-submits-work/ http://www.muaffiliate.com/affiliate-marketing/shavingscrubbing-email-submits/ Hope that helps
