As much as I'd love to see an existing ad network replicate this technology, I'm having a hard time believing that they'd go ahead and do it simply because of the friction it would create with their clients.

We both know the positive attributes of receiving feedback but I'm not so sure the average network is willing to tell their clients that their ads have been rejected by the community.

While the content is of extreme value, the Publisher is still at the mercy of having their audience actually go through with the purchase.

Why not leverage NetLine's RevResponse.com and give away compelling content like a free subscription to Traders Magazine or a related podcast to download and get paid for doing so?

The conversion rates for the Publisher on a free offer will dwarf those coming from a transactional based program like selling a $100 report.

Hi Steve Mills,

We have tons of examples of partners generating substantial earnings from our program. Although we don't directly share the earnings of our partners with the general public, you can take a peak around on our forums to see what a few partners are reporting first-hand.

I look forward to seeing you join the program.

Cheers,
Dave

Great post Scott. I typically agree with much you have to say but want to provide some feedback on your comments regarding the tracking of CPA campaigns.

"the problem is that in many instances itâ€™s difficult to attribute an end result, particularly long sales cycle purchases, to one specific ad."

That couldn't be further from the truth. The simple use of tags related to the lead generated and dynamic integration into a SFA tool of choice resolve this issue entirely. Gone are the days that you can't track a lead through to a sale...even if the sale takes place 8 months later and closes with a different rep.

After going through their site and seeing that they support the Curve, I decided to give it a go. I immediately received the sms message with the invite. Upon clicking on the link, I was told that they dont support the Curve.

What gives?

Thanks Greg. I'll give it another go later today.
