Cost Per Action
Pay only when users complete a defined action - sign-ups, form fills, subscriptions, or any measurable conversion event.
What Action Should You Pay For?
The foundation of every CPA campaign is choosing the right conversion event. The action must be valuable enough to justify spend yet frequent enough to generate data for optimization.
- Lead generation: form submissions, email sign-ups, free-trial activations
- Registration events: account creation, profile completion, phone verification
- Engagement milestones: first purchase, first deposit, first content view
Pricing and Payout Logic
CPA pricing depends on vertical, GEO, and action complexity. We structure payouts to align incentives between advertisers and publishers.
- Flat-rate CPA for predictable budgeting
- Tiered payouts that reward quality with higher commissions
- Dynamic CPA adjustments based on real-time conversion data
Traffic and Compliance
Quality traffic is non-negotiable. We enforce strict traffic source policies and GEO targeting to maintain conversion quality.
- Whitelisted traffic sources with ongoing monitoring
- GEO-specific compliance for GDPR, CCPA, and local regulations
- Creative approval workflows to protect brand integrity
Anti-Fraud Playbook
Fraud detection is built into every layer of the campaign stack. We use multi-signal validation to catch bad actors before they drain budgets.
- IP fingerprinting and device-graph analysis
- Click-to-conversion time analysis to flag bots
- Post-conversion event validation (e.g., did the user actually engage?)
Optimization Levers
Once campaigns are live, continuous optimization is the difference between breakeven and scale.
- A/B testing on landing pages, creatives, and offers
- Publisher-level bid adjustments based on quality scores
- Dayparting and GEO shifting to capture peak intent windows
KPIs We Watch
Every CPA campaign is measured against a core set of KPIs that tie back to business outcomes.
- eCPA: effective cost per action across all sources
- Conversion rate: click-to-action ratio by source and GEO
- Quality score: post-action engagement and retention metrics
- Fraud rate: percentage of flagged or rejected conversions
