Hi! First thread on Jr.Vip - heh, to be honest this post is actually one of the reasons I signed up. l+ U+ M, A3 e- n! b7 b Y

Ok, the thing is - I'm planning on doing free-signup dating offers on CPA networks.

guys complaining that they were doing free-signups, but because none of

(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?)

1. You can always blame the offer, it's not your fault it doesn't convert.: K% m' a; ]3 _8 @

I think these are some pretty legit reasons, although do they matter anything in the eyes of a network/advertiser?* o2 _4 K5 t6 E- T$ ~/ n

I was also suggested to keep the amount of money made under $1500 per month per network.0 ^# o3 ]- X6 W
(just to keep it under the radar) That would mean $50 per day, which is

or atleast use one offer for..let's say - a week and then pick another( d: A; K5 M+ K. d, L0 v( o/ _

' D" g2 y6 M* ]My #1 question right now is whether I should use the scheme:( C; e% M7 g% q/ z' E& @
CL->email->BH site->WH site->offer. (I'd use some script /% B' T0 m3 l z7 I. W$ ~
if possible - "Referer Guardian" for redirecting) Some people# B2 R, Q, I& q- I u
recommended this. And actually# X6 X' b+ W o. D

it would be pretty logical as a coverup - if anyone asks I'm doing doing! }& X. `( F" [' e$ ?. \; m
PPV. (I could tell I'm spending $400 on mediatraffic per month, which
8 w/ r" U# e" m( `" `would be like 26k hits) What I would actually do is just send some fake+ m4 ~1 M# r0 @5 ]+ F- l* j
traffic to it. (about 20k per month or so)

why bother, it's too much of a hassle - just give them a direct link to0 I$ T# R! ], t
the offer when your emailing them" Well, I guess I wouldn't even have to. D4 q; d- V% M" i" P
cloak/blank anything then? I mean, if I'm sending them the link through e-mail, the referer is blank already, right?

Although a pretty bad setback with e-mailing is that a lot of dating9 j3 p: `/ v: ^& g% B
offers don't allow e-mail traffic at all. With redirecting them through

Hm, now I know there isn't a 100% answer, but overall which road should I take? When I'd choose the second one, wouldn't it be too suspicious? What would I have to tell the AM - that I'm using a opt-in mail list?& ?7 ~) e: ]* d& e" }* R6 h

Would I also have to send some fake traffic to the offer? {I mean a 15(sales):20(visitors) ratio wouldn't seem legit, would it?}
