Hi! First thread on Jr.Vip - heh, to be honest this post is actually one of the reasons I signed up.

(I'm not actually sure if they were on CPA- or adult networks. Is there a difference in these two when it comes to free-signups not converting into paid ones?)

Well anyhow, I did some research on the subject. And basically the advice I got was:

(just to keep it under the radar) That would mean $50 per day, which is9 ]' w% P- K* b# p
like 15 leads or so. (not many for free-signups) Another thing I will5 R: p- [5 K' P* D7 ]; P9 H, H
