yeah - inuvo's the new brand name for primaryads/kolimbo as of last month.
questions to consider:
1. how long have you been promoting your offer through a cpa network?
2. how long have you been promoting your offer through their network?
3. what types of affiliates are running your offer now thru them?
4. what sort of feedback (good or bad) have you received from those affiliates about your offer's performance?
your ad manager at any aff ntwk should be able to provide you with basic feedback from their affiliates to can help you improve your offer & make it more successful for all parties involved (i.e. improvements to your LP, seasonal creative needed, a payout bump so their ppc pubs can reach their target epc's, etc.).
if you do select another ntwk to work with, then you should implement any of their suggestions first before moving on to other networks. otherwise, you might remain unsatisfied, regardless of the network you work with.
well that's exactly what i intend to do - my background is pay per sale regnow/clickbank PPC stuff, and now i'm trying to venture in to lead gen from the advertiser perspective - problem is, Inuvo just hasn't been helpful, at all. I'm not getting that feedback, i'm not getting suggestions, and i'm blessed to have a relatively versatile dev team that'll build me whatever i need. I'm considering just scrapping it and going to another network where i at least know people and can get a straight answer.
i know that i'm being relatively restrictive on lead sources, which is fine - but at least have that conversation with me.
that being said, can anyone recommend a network for tech CPL? i don't care about traffic sources THAT much, but i'd like to stay away from incentivized offer chains. Simple 5 or 6 field form (name, e-mail, phone, etc) for a $5 payout. I'll be diligent, i'll reward the affiliates driving good leads and suspend those that aren't, and i'll ALWAYS pay for quality traffic.
We're a website development platform just looking for leads to close. We'll be gearing toward PPC traffic next quarter, but i'd at least like to fill up the lead gen side, as the trial-to purchase conversion rate isn't where it should be yet.
I'm not trying to pitch my offer, i just want to know what networks i should be working with for this vertical/lead gen.
Thanks!
