Hi! First thread on Jr.Vip - heh, to be honest this post is actually one of the reasons I signed up.- R4 M% G I! }! ]2 Q+ r9 J

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

I think these are some pretty legit reasons, although do they matter anything in the eyes of a network/advertiser?! c) f6 r: T0 u$ \; D9 j w

I was also suggested to keep the amount of money made under $1500 per month per network.
- @! W0 G6 \) D. X& L m; |- I(just to keep it under the radar) That would mean $50 per day, which is2 z0 M* a/ E8 X" A9 \
like 15 leads or so. (not many for free-signups) Another thing I will) o _1 V2 u9 i( V$ `
definitely keep in mind is not sticking on one offer - I'l rotate them+ L8 v+ I5 x4 ]. w/ C
or atleast use one offer for..let's say - a week and then pick another: E) o( ]7 \" q1 ?3 Y# A

2 m$ z9 c6 ~8 ~# \4 X) j/ ZMy #1 question right now is whether I should use the scheme:

if possible - "Referer Guardian" for redirecting) Some people6 e0 x9 y+ R' k( x
recommended this. And actually

why bother, it's too much of a hassle - just give them a direct link to2 u/ P! |5 m* N4 y$ f) l

Although a pretty bad setback with e-mailing is that a lot of dating

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?}
