Hi! First thread on Jr.Vip - heh, to be honest this post is actually one of the reasons I signed up.5 R/ m1 y: V: B$ M

I've got more than a couple of questions throughout the text, so I. M5 s. K! H; n: X* r* n, b
thought it would make it easier to follow if I underlined the k2 y* ~/ y- x: ]5 a# i7 h

I would drive the traffic to the offer mostly from CL. (dating)

Now at first I was paranoid, because I read a couple of threads about8 v. K; L8 m9 l, `4 {9 T! |0 j9 k
guys complaining that they were doing free-signups, but because none of

1. You can always blame the offer, it's not your fault it doesn't convert.& j# ?5 R2 b5 ^$ d/ P& p5 N& D

I think these are some pretty legit reasons, although do they matter anything in the eyes of a network/advertiser?

(just to keep it under the radar) That would mean $50 per day, which is( `7 z8 [2 k3 P# G3 c% ~$ k
like 15 leads or so. (not many for free-signups) Another thing I will1 W3 Z7 z& V2 C2 a2 c7 i
definitely keep in mind is not sticking on one offer - I'l rotate them$ U. r/ c# m. l( g

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?

3 o% A* ^6 F2 x$ ~3 x+ K7 mWould 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?}
