I first heard about CPAlead when Jehzlau mentioned it to me last year. He was so excited about his earnings and he convinced me to try it. So, I applied for an account immediately.
However, during that time, an account is reviewed manually and approval takes 2 to 3 days. I did not receive any approval or denial of my application. My excitement went down and forgot about it until 3 days ago.
Three days ago, my wife got interested on CPAlead after reading about it on Facebook. She immediately applied for an account and got approved instantly! She asked me for help understanding it. How do we create the widgets? How do we add it on our blogs? She gave me her account credentials and let me do the job of installing the code.
I installed the code on her blog and on some posts on this blog. Those post under Premium Post category on this blog are the only posts with the CPAlead code on it. And guess what happened? How much did we earn?
For the full 24 hours yesterday, here is the screenshot of our earnings:
She earned $20+ from her blog alone. (Mine is obviously around $10). Considering that she only earns an average of $3/day on Google Adsense on her blog, that’s a big improvement! Now, she’s more motivated in blogging. 
Ok. Enough of the testimonial. Let’s talk about CPAlead and why my wife’s blog earned that much on her first 24 hours.
What is CPAlead?
CPAlead is a cost-per-action ad network, where you get paid when your visitor completed an action, on this case, filling up a survey. Each completed survey costs between $0.20 to $10.00. What makes it different from other ad network is that it forces your visitors to complete the survey, otherwise, they will not be able to access your content. It blocks your visitor from reading your post / accessing your content unless he finished a survey. Surveys are targeted for each country. There are surveys for US, UK, Canada and many more.
What if there’s no survey available for my country?
If there’s no available survey for your visitor’s country, you have a choice to just let them in or to block them completely. In our case, I just let them in so that they can read the posts and gain access to my other ad networks’ advertisements such as Chitika, Infolinks and Adsense.
What kind of sites works well with CPALead?
CPAlead works best for website with quality content where visitors would be motivated to fill up the survey just to access your content. In my wife’s case, she blogs about Facebook cheats most of the time. Since many people are addicted playing Farmville, Cafe World, Fishville, etc., they are very much motivated to complete the survey just to read the cheats she blogged about. According to some CPAlead veterans who earn as much as $1000/day, TV sites and movie sites convert very well. That is, visitors must fill up the survey to watch the movie or TV episodes.
Is it allowed to use both CPAlead and Adsense on the same page?
According to CPAlead FAQ, it works well with Adsense. But your Adsense CTR and earnings will be affected. Since your visitors are blocked first until they answer a survey, the chance of your Adsense ads getting clicked is very low. That’s why I only used it on some of my posts and not sitewide.
Payment
They pay via check, wire transfer if you are in the US, and via Paypal.
Recommendation
If you have a blog or website with quality content, where your visitors will not mind filling up a survey just to access your content, this is for you. I think, this will also convert well on flash game sites, tutorial sites and download sites. Try it. Sign-up here!

excited na kong itry to kuya, pero first i increase ko muna traffic sa blog ko.
January 21st, 2010 at 5:08 pm
eto pala un. ma-try nga
January 22nd, 2010 at 11:40 am
siguro dapat mataas ang traffic ng blog ko bago ko i try to..pero exciting ha.laki na kaagad ng kinita niyo..
Kuya Marghil, ask ko lang if pwede ko ba pagsamahin ang adsense at adbrite sa blog ko. pwede po ba? hindi ba xa conflict?
January 22nd, 2010 at 2:38 pm
ok i’ll try this …
i trust your recommendation naman eh
January 22nd, 2010 at 3:44 pm
I don’t know if they have approved my application. After I filled up the forms, a page displayed with the Mailbox, Affilliate ID and the word Logout, which means I’ve logged in, right? I’m quite confused kasi sabi mo kuya eh 3 days ka na approve but I saw the user page at an instant, hindi ko lang sure kung yun na nga yung user/affiliate page…
January 22nd, 2010 at 4:05 pm
@llama… pwede sila magkasama, basta magkaiba lang ng format, yung distinguishable ang adsense ad at adbrite ad. ayaw kasi ng adsense na kapareho yung format ng ad nila.
@mangalary… instant approval sila ngayon. misis ko, ganyan din eh. so, you’re already logged in.

Thanks sir macuha! been thinking kung kuha ako account sa cpa lead. Thanks to your post, ayun sumali na ako
Im still waiting kung mapagkikitaan ko ito haha 
Mejo nacoconfuse pa ako panu gamitin ung widget ng cpalead wah! haha 
January 22nd, 2010 at 6:07 pm
Actually last year ko pa alam ito.
Pero kagabi ko lang sinubukan nung nabasa ko ito. Approved agad ang application ko after ko nafill-up ang data ko.
When I checked my earnings today, may $2.57 na ako in half-day. Cool!
January 22nd, 2010 at 7:50 pm
huhu ang gulo pala mag-setup nito =( wah
January 22nd, 2010 at 11:27 pm
OK, thanks for this info., Macuha… I will try my new luck on this new online opportunity…
January 23rd, 2010 at 1:26 am
Naku nagtry din ako kapatid and it looks promising talaga. Napagawa tuloy ako agad ng another site. This is better sa mga niche blog lalo na yung movies, mga merong downloads, tv series etc. Pero dapat me content talaga kasi mababan ka agad sa site nila pag fake ang content. So far nireredirect ko lang yung ibang post ko sa mataas na traffic to the new one. 3 days akong gumawa ng bagong site at sinalpakan ko ng laman aba nung inaapply ko approved agad. Oks to magandang kitaan talaga.
January 23rd, 2010 at 3:07 pm
I’ve been earning money through other CPA networks but seeing that you have been successful with CPALead, i’m gonna give it a try. Thanks

[...] CPALead Review – Marhgil has just posted his review on the newest way to make money online. I have been using CPALead on my Couch Potato blog for a couple of months now, but my earning in those months is just equivalent to Mrs. Macuha’s 1 day of CPA Lead. Amazing! [...]
January 24th, 2010 at 7:51 pm
ang galing! grabe, your 1 day worth is equivalent ng months ko with cpalead hehehe..
January 25th, 2010 at 12:48 am
zalds introduce me to this one but di ko pa gaano pinansin, natatakot kasi ako na baka ma ban sa adsense. I tried to contact adsense regarding this but they have not replied. I tried searching for information in the net but I cannot find a clear reference if this is suitable for Adsense..
January 25th, 2010 at 8:43 am
Dexter, create pages without Adsense in your site. On those pages, place CPAlead. You can use your other webpages to drive traffic to those new pages.
January 25th, 2010 at 9:27 pm
Ok, yung dati kong comment dito e nahirapan ako mag implement ng CPA LEad sa website ko. Madali lng pla! may plug-in specially designed for this. search nyo lang sa net.
Galing! naka $3 na ako. HAHA

Kuya Marghil, ask ko lang po kung pwede ba ako sumali sa buyblogreviews.com gamit yung blog ko na may adsense?
January 27th, 2010 at 8:40 pm
Thanks sa link Spitfire.
Actually, napansin ko, auto approve ang application sa cpalead ngayon. Di katulad dati, kung talagang wala kang website na matino, di ka maapprove.
February 3rd, 2010 at 11:21 am

February 3rd, 2010 at 12:02 pm
