CPALead offers a great tool to affiliates that provides a popup announcing to the visitor that they are accessing premium content. In this popup it offers ways to access the page by filling out a few forms and generally submitting an email. Of course these forms are affiliate links, which payout to the site owner, making the operator some cash by being paid per lead. I needed an alternative to this, one that I could modify myself and add other offers and tweak to my hearts desire.
After some searching I found a free alternative to teh Premium Content Gateway script provided by CPALead, which is completely independent of any affiliate network. I used the code from Dynamic Drive and their DHTML Window Widget to create my own content gateway.
The widget provides code that you must add to the pages of your site where you want the window to popup. The widget actually works by opening a preexisting html page that you create. Therefore it's possible to add any text, images, or affiliate links you want. The html page can of course be modeled directly after the CPALead gateway if you wish.
View an example of my Premium Content Gateway to a MySpace resource site. Happy affiliating!
How is it working out? Are you getting leads from it?
Not yet, but I don’t really have a good site to utilize this form of advertising. It’s way to intrusive for me to implement it on my popular sites that rely on repeat traffic.
ok, but how does the gateway know when a cpa offer is completed to unlock the page?
It doesn’t, this is script is based on not having repeat visitors.
However, the window is easily closed by simply clicking the ‘x’ button. So, it’s really null and void and just to trap a percentage of visitors.
maybe some testing can do it..
Maybe you should try our Blackhat Codebreaker.
It’s a CPA Gateway somewhat similar to CPA Lead’s, but without shaving your leads and with several other options they don’t give you:
* Works with ANY CPA network.
* Doesn’t shave your leads.
* Built-in Referrer Hiding option. If you don’t want the CPA network to know your referring page, just turn on this option. It’s bulletproof. We dealt with all kinds of compatibility issues so that your referrer will never pass where you don’t want to!
* Extremely easy installation and configuration. Tailored specifically for non-technical newbies.
* Detailed manual and video with detailed step-by-steps on installing, configuring and Monetizing your sites!.
* Built-in test mode. Enables you to test your setup and get automatic error messages and insights before making the pages available to the public.
* Built-in Right-Click disabling option. My customers asked me to add this – I complied..
* Teaser-timer: Lets people see your site, start watching vids – before the locker pops up and asks them to fill in an offer if they want to continue using the site.
* Cosmetics: easily control looks parameters such as lock-screen position, size, bg color, bg image, text color.
I think I said enough. I don’t want this to really be an ad, but i AM proud of this baby.
Cheers,
Brad
