Ok, the thing is - I'm planning on doing free-signup dating offers on CPA networks. 2 C' P6 {: X+ `' F3 p3 ~9 i

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 about 8 u$ q; L- D6 E5 m* y$ o" L
guys complaining that they were doing free-signups, but because none of 0 i- w+ u* b0 u) u ]
the leads converted into paying ones they got transferred/not payed etc.

(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?)

8 r2 j, N+ U) f; z* NWell 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?

I was also suggested to keep the amount of money made under $1500 per month per network.) G' S* g5 I, f7 {3 E1 j
(just to keep it under the radar) That would mean $50 per day, which is

My #1 question right now is whether I should use the scheme:

if possible - "Referer Guardian" for redirecting) Some people

Now on the other hand there are people who tell me something like "oh 8 L1 `) p/ ?; i: u. m
why bother, it's too much of a hassle - just give them a direct link to 5 p# r0 l2 \7 R: ?% Y" {3 d1 Y* _
the offer when your emailing them" Well, I guess I wouldn't even have to1 ]" z8 v" u3 V% B& x- L: G; O7 O
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 dating : `% k; J3 _/ w6 c" t& x
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? 4 C: g$ r! Z: K# r/ P2 Z

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?}6 B4 \2 J' K1 \' [, c
