Unethical Side Of CPA Marketing
Unethical Side Of CPA Marketing
Since the CPA networks aren’t regulated by any governing entity, they are able to get away with unethical practices with CPA marketing. Usually you won’t run into any of it unless you start driving a ton of traffic.
There are 3 distinct groups that include Advertisers, Publishers (Affiliates), and the CPA Networks that make up the CPA relationship. The CPA Networks act as the middleman between the other 2.
The cheating starts when one of the groups decides to manipulate the outcome to affect the other groups. Many affiliates try to fool people into filling out offers, but that could result in getting them blacklisted. The networks that run Direct Track are then able to see those individuals that have been banned and not let them into other CPA networks. Also, when people do this, other affiliates get hit with lower payouts and possibly higher scrub levels (how leads are reversed).
Not all CPA networks are trustworthy because they could possibly shave off leads and keep them instead of paying you for them. If Direct Track is active, they could set it at a certain percentage like 10% which means that the affiliates will not get paid for every 10th lead. As a result of this, you should be split-testing the same offers with different networks because the payouts are different.
Advertisers can also make it so the CPA network’s pixel doesn’t fire at specific times. A pixel basically shows the CPA network that a lead has been generated by either a javascript of an image tag.
Some CPA offers can be unethical because some of the claims can be incorrect especially for the health products. Also, with some offers there is some fine print should be read before doing e-mail and zip submit offers.
You should also try to avoid the smaller networks because sometimes they could choose to not pay you for one reason or another such as saying they weren’t paid by the advertisers.
Some CPA networks can rip you off if you show them what you are doing, so when running your campaigns, you should not show them everything and cloak your sub IDs. You should also be wary of your affiliate managers because they could also rip you off when they how much money you are making. They could even steal your methods and show them to other affiliates.
Some CPA networks will even go as far as bribing their affiliates by supplying such things as sex and drugs because of how competitive CPA marketing has become.
Just remember to stick to the CPA networks that have a good reputation and that actually care rather than just think about the money you could earn for them.
To make sure you work with the legit CPA networks, you need to invest in the Arbitrage Conspiracy. Aymen has been doing CPA marketing for many years and has become one of the most successful underground marketers earning him 5 and sometimes 6 figures a day. From his experience, he knows which networks are best.
