Can Cpa Beat Adsense?

Recommended Posts

Due to my stupidity, I lost my Adsense account and now there's almost no hope of getting it back. So I'm looking at other options to monetize my website. I've been looking at CPA programs lately and they seem to be very interesting (although very intrusive to visitors). Does CPA actually earn more than Adsense and similar programs? CPALead.com seems to be the top name among CPA websites. I have a content site on which I'm planning to put a gateway soon. I think it's beneficial mostly to US citizens, and since most of my traffic is non-US, I think it may take some time for me to drive US traffic to my site. So can you please give me some hints and tips about using CPA to monetize my site? I'm not going to make the same mistake I did with Adsense, so I'm prepared to wait for results. Any hints/suggestions would be deeply appreciated.

CPAleads will pay you around $0.70 - $40.00 per survey that was completed. This service mostly serve US markets and your non US visitors will mostly be blocked out of your website.CPAleads is a good money source but it also annoy a lot of people filling in surveys when they visit your site. The only site where I keep on seing CPAleads with people actually filling in the survey was those pirated online movie streaming sites.One of the people that uses CPAleads to give access to shows being aired at our country to people around the globe (mostly targeted to US people) told me that he was earning $1000-$3000 a month.This of course fall under the term of piracy and you may get a law suit as a worst case scenario.

Yes, I've seen a few websites and read a couple of ebooks which teach newbies how to make money instantly using Blackhat techniques. What they probably don't know is that things are changing now and all the blackhats are getting their accounts suspended. What you've said is true, but it isn't a good idea to encourage blackhat techniques just to earn some money. I'm looking for a clean strategy to get genuine traffic to my site. I tried a splash widget just now using CPAlead. It appears only to people in the US and to the rest the site appears as usual, i.e., they don't get blocked. This seems to be a useful feature and I hope to do something based on this. Ideas are welcome.

That's a nice thing but I think you also need to pick some pages/content to be free for US users, think of it as a free trial to your site. I am happy to hear someone to remove zone locking for areas that don't have surveys. My site was also configured that way but it was set to allow all for the meantime. I am earning revenue from video ads that I have and I was surprised to earn $3.56 4 days ago from a 'StarCraft II' trailer video on my site.

I host all the movie files that I have and they eat up my bandwidth but it does not matter as long as I earn a few cash to cover the cost. My free hosting on Xisto was being shared to 3 of my friends, we use it to teach each other about publishing contents, getting contents and basic web programming with database connection.

By the time I earn enough traffic, I will surely activate my CPAlead content locking. I am not considering 500 visitors per month as a steady traffic.

Some facts before you get into the CPA market. Indians have their applications denies by many CPA networks because of lot of spamming and black hat marketing. So make sure you get accepted in all possible means without spamming the web. 1.CPA can't replace PPC income if you don't do black hat or excessive marketing. You have to annoy people in order to get to your offer. Which is not good in longer term. 2.Some CPA offers can be done without having to anno, you know which offers are that- ebooks or cheats, freebie for all those freebie suckers out there. 3. CPA is not healthy marketing as in set and forget it. You have to actively test it everyday 7 days a week to get it to work.4. Many networks kick you with your rest of the payment paid if you fail to market their offers and earned 0$ for months. They need active publishers or marketers. This is bad considering PPC publishers or banner ad publishers never get kicked like that. There are some good site for the CPA. Leadcola and CPALead are one of them. But you know some of the facts from this post so you know how to approach.
