CJ's Pay-Per-Call program...any good?

[Truffles]

Just got accepted and reviewing the offers. Its a little confusing as I'm not sure how average earnings from a call can be over a hundred dollars when the payout is around $10 (even the tiered offers don't go that high).

Looks like it could be a nice way to test some offers out offline however the test calls I've done are kind of shitty from the affiliate standpoint. On one that I tried the first thing the automated message said was "For fast and easy online ordering, check out our website at...."

Yeah, way to try to screw me out of my lead there.

Anybody have anything to report on this?

I am also interested in this... I got accepted a couple weeks ago and haven't really fucked around with it yet.

.... who woulda' known pushin' these hot Holiday Fleshlights would be so time consuming.

RingRevenue's "Earnings Per Call" metric is actually "Earnings Per 100 Calls" (similar to CJ's EPC = per 100 clicks). The advertisers there haven't quite ironed out the wrinkles yet, as most really need to work to refine their IVR messaging and commission structure.

I called for help but calls were not returned. (not by merchant, not by ringrevenue). Calls didnt track. Could have been a geo-targetting issue, but no clarification was provided so i dropped it.

Yes, I have spoken to the CEO and learned all about the company running that program, its a 3rd party, they are only out to do good things for the industry.

Agreed. Tracking seems flawless or close to it - however, not all the merchants are pros at what to do with their prompts. What sucks the most is RingRevenue's text-to-speech prequalification option that some advertisers are using before connecting to the advertiser's call center... sounds like absolute shit.
