CPA Networks in Russia: How It Works

Every advertiser’s dream is to pay only for sales and leads. This is the type of payment for advertising that Cost per Action or, simply said, CPA networks offer. During the promotion, you set up a desired action—it can be both a registration in a website and a purchase—and pay only for the fact of commission of this action.

For whom?

If you interact with clients online and this action generates profit on the way, you should consider a CPA model. For different industries, the desired action itself and its cost can differ. For instance, in the gaming industry, a desired action can be both game installation (say, if this is a free-to-play game) and its purchase. At that, while in the first case you pay a fixed cost per lead, in the second it can be both a pre-determined cost and a percentage-of-sales.

What can your CPA desired action be?

• Cost Per Lead (CPL) – you pay for a captured lead,
• Cost Per Order (CPO),
• Cost Per Salе (CPS),
• Pay Per Call (PPC),
• Cost per Install (CPI) – this model is typical for new CPA networks that major in promotion of mobile apps.

How do you find a publisher?

To find a publisher, it is enough to place your offer in one of the websites of the CPA network. The main advantage of working with networks is an opportunity to get advice on any questions about advertising, including traffic types, rates, publisher moderation etc.

Recommendations

When choosing a CPA network, it is a must to:

• Evaluate technical support quality: if upon your very first request you have to wait for a reply for several days, it is better to change the network.
• Pay attention to traffic quality control. Give preference to those networks that monitor fraud.
• Follow results and make more offers.

Without understanding your goals and objectives and a clearly defined offer, it is unlikely you will get a positive result. CPA is a road of experiments and constant search.
