History of CPA Marketing

Affiliate marketing and CPA marketing or CPA Marketing are very old, as humans have been using them since ages, and this is certainly because of their effectiveness in attracting profits to business owners and companies.

This event prompted some people to consider applying the principle electronically after the start of the Internet revolution. There are many websites and stores that applied these concepts even in the early nineties of the last century.

Among the most famous beginnings of this model is an online store for flowers and gifts called PC Flowers and Gifts, which was launched in 1989, and introduced the affiliate program, with the action being the purchase in exchange for a specific commission for the marketer or partner.

In just four years; That is, in 1993 the site was making profits estimated at millions annually with a large network of marketers on the Internet that exceeded 2,500 marketers in 1995 and 2,700 in 1998.

This unique experience captured the admiration of many who began to imitate and then develop it, and one of the biggest names that did this was the giant Amazon company.

Where Amazon launched its affiliate program in 1996, and made it available to the public on the Internet to make a lot of profits behind it, and then circulate it in products other than books.

Thus, these two experiences have opened the door to a very large field of marketing that is CPA and its larger world which is affiliate marketing.

There are many companies and business owners today who depend on it to attract profits and achieve various marketing goals.

CPA Problems and Challenges (The Hidden Side of CPA)

I would be lying if I told you that the entire field of CPA is rosy, and that it does not contain any problems at all, while like any other field or business it contains some obstacles and challenges.

The most prominent problem and challenge that you most likely know is the fierce competition between marketers. The competitive environment for CPA is very harsh, and it puts a lot of pressure on its workers.

That is why all marketers working in CPA must develop themselves periodically, and keep abreast of the latest changes and innovations constantly.

The other notable problem is phishing and fraud, yes the industry has a lot of them, which can come from all parties: advertisers, publishers, CPAs or even account managers.

Let's start with publishers or marketers, it is possible for them to deceive CPA companies or advertisers by bringing fake actions or commissions.

Of course, this is completely unacceptable and immoral, and if you are exposed, you will be banned from the company and your name will be written on the CPA blacklist.

It may also affect the publishers as a whole in the network, because the network will try to compensate for this amount by reducing the commissions of the rest of the moderators.

Because in this way, advertisers will pay money for nothing, as those imaginary actions will not achieve any of their marketing goals for them, and therefore they waste their time and money.

Companies can also be scammers, by manipulating their tracking software, which calculates the actions and leads generated by each publisher.

Some deceptive companies intentionally do not calculate some actions or leads in order to take their entire commission from advertisers, thereby inflating their own profit.

Of course, publishers who depend entirely on the company's tracking software will not notice this misappropriation of their commissions, which may even happen automatically.

So always keep your secrets and shared strategies safe and not share them with anyone.
