(CPA Affiliate) Which link should be used for PPC?

[peer391]

Hi, I have been reading post for a while and some posts here inspired me much to jump to CPA networks. So, I just started with CPA offers and I would like to get some help from the affiliate experts here. When I tried to see some offers (for example in copeac), I saw something like this in the creative code box:

Untitled Document[myID]&b=[somecodes]

Now if I paste this URL in the browser, the URL redirects me to the actual offer page.

Will someone please guide me which URL (the first one or the second one) I should I use for adwords campaigns, if I prefer direct promotion through PPC? Another thing I wanted know is if such direct PPC promotion is against any TOS of CPA networks or Google Adwords?


Thanks and hope to have a good time here in this great forum

Any help please

I just wanted to know if I should use the redirect URL or the redirected advertiser's URL in adwords campaign and if it's against the google TOS

Thank you

You should use the code provided to you in the offer details. The code should be something like affiliates.com.com/3456 or cpaclicks.com/XXX If you use the advertiser directly you will not be compensated as there is no way to credit your account with sales if you bypass our system.

not to mean to thread jack but i was curious why i get redirected to RewardsGateway.com everytime i go to preview some of the zip submit offers?? i'm not in the US so i cant see the actual offer link and depend on the preview link by click on the offer name in the copeac page - not sure if it affects it.

also not sure if anyone can figure this out but when i insert the code into a javascript code i always get a "link is no longer active u will be redirect in 10 sec" any reason for this?

they dont show it to non US cause you cant enter your ZIP, so they try and monetize you some other way.

Thank you, MKrongel that was all I wanted to know. Cheers.

Another thing I wanted to know about is that, does Copeac generally allow myspace traffic, if not otherwise stated in the campaign summery?

Thank you every much for the help.

ask your AM, its says at the top of the page after you login on COPEAC. they are helpful.

pax, i'm aware that it doesnt show to non US for the actual affiliate link, but if you click the campaign name it usually gives u a preview of the actual landing page so i know what i'm working with. This works for stuff like truman financials, but for quite a few zip submits it sends me to the rewardsgateway.com page - which is what confuses me...

i PM'd mike and my AM and am still waiting on a reply. its hard for me to design a funnel page if i'm oblivious to what page i'm sending them to.
