Ok here is the question, if you were to advertise on a site that has computer-savvy users (let's say it is a site that teaches you programming) do you think if you were to advertise say, a bizopp rebill offer, that those people would fall into it and actually pay the shipping and handling for a make money at home offer. I want to say no, but at the same time I think that if you made your landing page fit the site you are advertising on, maybe have a flog be your landing page and say in there that you belong to the site and thought those "make $5000/month ads" were scams until you tried it and it actually work that people would be more comfortable in trying the offer out. What other CPA offers would you try advertising to a computer-savvy audience if you don't think a rebill would work. Obviously an email submit wouldn't work cause they all know you aren't going to win anything if you put your email address in. Let me know what you guys think.
Advertising to Computer-Savvy Users..

A computer-savvy person would read your "I've tried it and it works!" line as total BS and wouldn't signup.
IMO, computer-savvy people wouldn't signup for too many CPA offers and if they did, it would be only be the ones where they are requesting info (EDU lead, insurance quote, etc.) from trusted sources, or purchasing/obtaining a brand name product/service.

The problem with marketing to people with a few brain cells left is that they
are more likely to recognize a scam when they see one.
I'm not saying you won't get a healthy # of click thrus to your flog, but in order
to get computer-savvy people past that you're going to need to build it up with
worthwhile, original posts to establish trust, then completely ruin it by dropping
your farticle on there.
Not worth the time IMHO, but let us know how it goes if you try it.

Yeah the reason I asked is cause I can get banner space on 2 sites that each get 5000 uniques a day for dirt cheap and there are only about 3 advertisers on each site. Problem is I don't know what I would advertise... I supposed I could try edu or the nerds might like an amateur match ad to check out.
If its really a site that teaches you how to program, the majority of those users are going to be college and high school students. Also, its a misconception that all of these users are going to be THAT computer-savvy. When I took CS classes (Again, only applicable if its an intro site to something like programming) there were a lot of retards in those courses, especially the early ones. Stuff like downloadable games, scholarships, free macbook/tech submits, etc could prolly work on this crowd. Hell, if the traffic is really cheap, its prolly worth it to test some high paying rebills.
Yeah I agree, I'll start out with the offers that don't fuck people over money-wise so I don't get in trouble. If none of those work I'll try out some rebills thanks for the input guys.
no way it would convert ( nor they would click, personal experience ).
web programming / development / webdesign > hosting offers, or adsense...I've had no luck with anything else
desktop programming > maybe manuals? books off amazon etc? cool gadgest like thinkgeek stuff etc? ( just thinking, no experience about this )

He is - THE CACTUS!
I'd say go with scholarships and edu offers for people that are trying to teach themselves shit.
That, or just affiliate links to software that they might actually use, like VisualBasic Pro edition or some shit.

Nobody can tell you it will convert or not -- like everything else in this business the only way is to test it and let the numbers speak for themselves.
You think CJ would spend the $ to make an accurate tracking system by now. You think ValueClick would dedicate a few thousand out of their $900mm market cap for 1/4th of their business model to work correctly
