Current Revenue Earnings to Date from this publisher - $1,083,837.30

An incredible feat for any publisher but let me go on a bit here. This publisher is literally 6 months old. The next part might seem unbelievable as well. This publisher got started by buying a work from home google kit online. (Who says those things dont work!). This publisher also went thru quite an ordeal a few months back. I was messaged one day that he was heading to the hospital for surgery. I shot him a message and to my surprise he was laying in the hospital bed running his business from a laptop. I dont want to share the details of the surgery but it was quite an ordeal, especially for a young man of his age. Personally, it sort of scared the living shit out of me.

Anyway, I want to quickly share some tips and characteristics of him right quick. In the sake of confidentiality I apologize that I cannot comment too much.

First - What He DOESNT Do:

1. He doesnt ever bitch, complain or place blame. (Unless tracking goes down ha!). If an offer is doing shitty, you dont see him bitching and moaning about it. While a lot of people prefer to bitch and complain, he’s the type of publisher that is going to work thru it and MAKE it work no matter what.
2. He’s a productivity machine. Seriously, sometimes I feel bad because we hardly ever talk. Talking is overrated especially when you are in charge of your own business. Talk is cheap and time is money.
3. Most Importantly - (Pay REALLY Close Attention Here) - Without saying too much, he doesnt bother working in shitty markets. For any of my publishers that know me, asking me for advise in some verticals often turns into me asking “WTF are you doing”? There is a reason Convert2media is heavily loaded in specific verticals with multiple offers. You dont see peddling shitty email and zip submits right? Keep that in mind. The BIG money is MASS MARKETABLE OFFERS. If you are the type that cant get it going in one of those verticals, I guess we need to have a long sit down and chat.

Second - What He Does DO:

1. He’s a self learner. He doesnt sit around waiting on bits and pieces of information or think he might be missing out on something. That’s a huge production killer. The guy bought a make money online from Google Kit and he is now the master of his own bizopp product should he choose to go that route.
2. He’s motivated - The talks I have had with this publisher tell me one thing. HE WONT QUIT. He thinks big and he works hard. Some publishers are content with a couple of thousand dollars a month, some are content at 50K a month. This my friends is the guy who wants EVERYTHING.
3. Work Ethic is absolutely outstanding. Before and after a major surgery the publisher was running his business from a laptop in the hospital. Things like this can change your life, (I’ve got my own health problems) but when it’s just YOU and nobody else, the sacrifices you make are the things that will define and intensify your business.
4. He understands the CPA Industry - This is important. While there are a ton of niche specific offers out there, let’s face it — The CPA Industry is incestuous with like 5-6 major verticals. There is money to be made all over, but big money comes faster in mass marketable niches. Remember that. C2M knows this, we practice it. I’ve stuck it out for years now as a publisher myself and now as a network owner in the same verticals year in and year out.

To all the publisher who work with us, we thank you all for your business. You are the reason for our tremendous growth over the last 16 months. It’s publishers like you that will hopefully be a part of our exponential growth going into 2010.

Well that’s just awesome. I already know of a few more out there but now this situation is going to spin virally out of control. If you have read this category of the blog then you understand the sophistication these people will go to fraud a network. However fraud ALWAYS evolves and this coming year it’s scary to think how many advertisers are going to get their asses handed to them. With DirectTrack ANY network can share and receive offers and cross promote them and a lot of these chinese networks have interpreters to help them negotiate with advertisers and other networks.

What I do know is to stay away from CpaShine like it was the plague.

If you need an incentive other than talking about how to make more money online, we in C2M style will of course be doing kegstands and whatever else unprofessional we can think of. We’ve got Samuel Adams on tap the first day of the exhibit show and Coffee to nurse those hangovers and get you going on Day #2.

If affiliate summit was any indication of how popular our booth was, I’m excited to see what the largest Adtech show has to offer. I guess the not so typical “men in suits” approach works pretty damn well. There are over 250 exhibiting companies this year and looks to be an awesome time.

Ruck doesnt make appointments or I at least try to keep from it. Typically, I like to walk publishers around and introduce them to contacts and companies I know of that I feel may help increase their business. If you were at the Adtech San Francisco show then you already know I typically dedicate most of my time at Adtech in gathering up sources of traffic for publishers. Hit us up at the booth to learn more. Hope to see ya there!

Affiliate Managers - reading the blog, pay real close attention because I’m only going to explain this once. As a manager it’s pretty damn easy to get that lead report from an advertiser who is claiming fraudulent credit cards and just terminate the affiliate so this educational post may or may not be of any use to you. However, should you read it and comprehend what I am going to say, you may be able to stop these types of publishers BEFORE too much damage is done and costing you a relationship with an advertiser.

Advertisers -  Some of you are experienced, some of you are not and some of you are aspiring to run your own offer. Pay attention because when you start messing with your filters on processing their are most likely going to be options for you to use to keep a lot of this out yourself.

Publishers - You might as well pay attention to. Publishers are likely to participate in a lot of internet marketing forums and I can tell you that methods of using “gift cards” have been talked about openly. If you feel like you are being a “rat”, I’ll give you a different perspective to think about. If you know someone is doing this and you dont report it, you are only costing other publishers a possible opportunity to promote the offer, a network’s relationship with an advertiser and quite possibly the advertiser not even utilizing the Pay Per Performance Industry in which…-> We ALL Lose.

Alright so think about this for a moment. Ever seen those $50 Visa Gift Cards at say Walmart? Say you have a publisher cloaking traffic as is the norm in this industry. Unfortunately for the network, it looks like standard encryption or cloaking and the publisher hiding their precious traffic source. Now say you have rebill offers at $3.95 or less. At an average of $3.95 or less and a $50 gift card, a publisher can run 12 leads a day.

Doesnt sound like much right? Let me show you the compounding mindset of a gift card frauder who really has their shit together. Most of you probably wont believe this but the example I am going to show you is a VERY conservative one. After you see the example, imagine a ring of about 50 publishers who are teaching this to outsourced help and compounding the problem.

Monday:

• 1 Publisher
• 5 - $50 gift Cards = 12 leads per gift card @ avg. $3.95 per trial offer.
• 60 leads total today spread across 10 networks = 6 leads per network
• AVG. pay (conservative) $30 payout on each trial offer
• 60x$30 = $1800.00 - $250 for the gift cards - $100 miscellaneous hosting/traffic = $1,450
• At the very least, this publisher is going to make a $1,000 dollar day.

Not a bad day’s work for a frauder right? Volume is low enough that the frauder probably hits each network on 1-3 offers meaning 1-2 possibly 3 leads at the very most per offer. You really think the advertiser is going to pick up that small amount of leads? 99.999% No. Most networks arent even going to pick that up and see that but that is what you as a manager have to train yourself to look for.

Now let me compound this over a month long period and show you REALLY what an organize frauder is capable of. Managers, you are probably going to drop a brick because they most likely make more in a month than you do in a year. Pretty scary huh.

• Publisher has 30 networks
• Publisher hits each network for 12 leads a month across 3-5 offers keeping conversions down.
• Total = 360 leads @ avg of $30.00 per lead = $10,800.00
• Each card holds 12 leads so = 30 cards x $50 = $1,500.00
• Hosting, Garbage Traffic = $1,000 a month (With what I know this is very conservative).
• so $10,800 - $1500 - $1,000 = $8,300 a month.

$8,300.00 a month people. It’s happening out there. Now the scary part is your organized frauder isnt going to have just one account. Oh no, they know there is going to be casualties of war so they are likely to have 3-5 accounts sitting on a network. So if your organized frauder is spreading across multiple offers, staying under the radar on just 3 accounts at the end of the month they could possibly be looking at = $24,900.00

Scary right? It can, it does and it is happening people. It’s so small you probably dont even see it and the advertiser damn sure are going to see it especially since organized frauders do their research and stick to offers that are likely getting volume. Another thing they will do is trace and offer and possibly hit across a few networks.

This is one organized publisher. Multiply that by 100 organized frauders and you can see what we are dealing with in this industry. If you have low volume publishers hitting you like this, I urge you to take a REALLY close look at them. Their names, their information, even call them. Before first payment, have them send you a copy of their license or passport.

But most importantly…

Learn to identify this early on so that you can communicate with the advertiser and have them take those leads away. Shady networks out there. (I dont want to get off on a rant). It pisses me off to see us have an offer that I know is on shit networks that allow these tactics. Most of the advertisers just dont know any better and as networks sometimes the offer is given out to another network that allows this crap. I’ve seen it time and time again. I’ve literally sat an explained it to advertisers time and time again. Whether you care or not, for those who take their businesses seriously in the pay per performance space, it’s in your best interest to start watching stats ALOT closer on low volume for rebill offers.

If you see a new publisher sending these warning flags, start investigating before it costs you a relationship.
