So i posted about CPA payout rates before. but actually?

Okay so my last thread was asking about best payouts for a quick win, right. But now I'm looking at the two big names everyone throws out - MaxBounty and ClickDealer. And fwiw my numbers this past month don't match the hype at all. MaxBounty has those flashy high-paying offers on the board, sure. But their AMs push you toward the lower conv stuff that 'converts better'. Ended up averaging like $1.80 per lead after all costs. ClickDealer on paper looks lower payouts but their offers are way more stable - less garbage traffic accepted maybe? My avg there was $2.10 even though the listed payout was lower. So which network actually has better payouts? The one with big numbers or the one where you actually get paid. Everyone acts like it's obvious but I'm skeptical af now. Numbers don't lie, but networks do sometimes.
just my two cents,
the data doesn't care about your feelings

Different angle: maybe your experience with MaxBounty was skewed by focusing on lower converting offers that pay more but don't actually perform well in real life. I've seen the opposite happen, where the supposedly "better" network with higher payouts actually ends up giving more stable and profitable results because they have less junk traffic and stricter vetting. numbers can be tricky, but in my case, the overall quality and how well offers convert matter more than just the payout rates.

do you think focusing on offer quality and conversion rate can actually outweigh payout differences? I mean, sometimes I feel like higher payouts attract more garbage traffic but lower payouts bring better quality leads. It's a constant balancing act rn

I disagree, just 'cause a network shows big numbers doesn't mean it's legit or that u actually getting paid decent. Payouts can be kinda BS sometimes, rn I focus on stability and real conversion data over hype

solid advice.
