CPA networks not having to share methods of tracking or publishers causes multiple issues within the internet advertising realm. All of these issues cause a dilemma for the advertiser who does not want to pay for fraudulent activities that will inflate traffic and costs.
One problem with CPA networks is that the communication line must essentially go through a middleman. If communication with the network wasn’t as crucial as traffic quantity and payment information, then communication through a CPA network wouldn’t be as vital. But resources spent spending time in communication could be spent doing more crucial tasks if this step was automated as we will see later in this piece.
A second issue is that publishers or website hosts of these advertisements are totally unaware of how they are performing. For instance they are unaware of how they are converting views to clicks. They don’t know how much purchasing power viewers use when they are purchasing items. Publishers are at the mercy of CPA networks when they are not informed on how they are legitimately performing.
The third issue is that by nature of the monetary structure of the majority of internet advertising, publishers wait months on average for advertisers to go through the transactions and pay the publisher their due part. And usually, by the time the money is sent through Paypal or any other payment processor, the money has to be moved around more for whatever purposes the publisher may have for it.
All of these issues makes internet advertising unreliable, and it causes it to remain an unattractive option for major campaigns. Despite years of growth, the internet advertising market has not grown to reach its potential. Instead of wading in the mirk of centrality, publishers and advertisers deserve progress.
