CPALead Revisited

I first mentioned CPALead months ago when it was a newer CPA program within the industry.  Since then, CPALead has distinguished themselves as an excellent choice for webmasters when they are considering CPA advertising.  For example, I just started to use CPALead on a watch tv online niche website, and the earnings have skyrocketed even though it is currently the tv off season. I have left my CPM ads and Adversal in page popups on the main pages and implemented CPALead on the episode pages.

Not only does the addition of CPA advertising dramatically increase the website’s profit, but the average CPM increases substantially.  Instead of making ~$1.18 / 1,000 page views, this website is making $7.30 / 1,000 page views.  This means that when this tv series starts up again with their new season I will be earning thousands of dollars per month instead of hundreds per month.  Over a 500% increase in profit margin can be seen after the implementation of CPALead on this website.  Note that the profit from CPA ads is a lot bouncier and more variable on a daily basis compared to CPM ads; this website earned anywhere from $20 to $75 from CPALead depending on the day.  Acknowledge that daily profits may be more variable when using CPA ads, but for this website average profit saw a considerable increase.  Does this mean that you should use CPALead on all of your websites?  Absolutely not; CPALead works fantastic on some websites, but on others it may even drop your net profit and CPM.  If you do plan on implementing CPALead or other CPA advertising methods, I strongly encourage you to track your CPM and profit over the period of a week or month, so that you can see if CPALead (You loss nothing by signing up under my referral code) is the right thing for your website.
