Ins and Outs of an Email/Zip submit

Does not really depend on the offer... More or less the network. To me it seems email submits all use the same format with different items.
For instance MB offers a lot of them at the $1.10 - $2.00 range, but networks ran by rapist like CPATrend's Preston Million only offer .90 cents.
^^ No joke... I ate up 50 mins of his time on aim asking retarded questions and for payouts on almost every offer under the sun. rofl...
Cool story bro, but this thread is about making your own email submit path, not running traffic to someone else's.
Actually, you mean "I was a moron answering a question".
The question was how much individual survey offers on a email submit path pay out to the advertiser running the path.
Care for a 3rd shot at it? Go ahead and take a moment to re-read the entire thread, I'll wait.
I was just wondering out of the number of people who sign up to an email submit (first page) how many actually go through the whole process to receive the gift % wise. By the looks of how the offer wall works I would guess less than 0.0001%. Anyone with experience know the number? If this is the case then you could theoretically offer anything at the front end as it wouldn't make a difference on the backend right?
I've had some experience in the distant past running some reg-path sites and the number of people who go through the whole process is very low. Maybe not as low as the percentage you quoted, but significantly below 1%. The number is so low that the cost of the item spread across all users is negligible. However, if you are dealing with as much traffic as you state, you will have people go through your whole process. So you have to promise something you will actually deliver. Otherwise there will be complaints and if there are enough, the AG might come sniffing around.
One thing I can tell you from experience is that keeping a reg-path site as profitable as possible is a ton of work. It requires constant maintenance - from recruiting new partners, to campaign management within the reg-path flow (setting up new offers, pulling down old ones, cap management, etc.), to invoicing and other accounts receivable pleasantries. Sure, you could just make deals with a couple agencies/networks, but you'll be trading off rates to save you on recruitment/payment work. You'll still be faced with all the campaign management issues. If you don't do all this work, your effective per-lead rate will fall significantly below what you can get from existing e-mail submit merchants. Even finely tuned, it'll be a lot of work for you to get your own reg-path to generate an effective per-lead rate that is higher than what you can get from existing email submit merchants.
Considering that, you have to ask yourself if doing all that extra work is worth the benefit of the regular hassles associated with running an e-mail submit campaign.
Note that my comments above are based on the fact that you are simply looking to build something for your own in-house use. If you are ever looking to open that up to affiliates/networks, you might find it certainly worth the effort.
Thanks Steve that really helps.
The main reason I want to have my own submits rather than use pre-existing ones is two fold. Firstly I want to be able to control the "Real" numbers, i.e. no scrubs or shaves, and this is impossible with 3rd party subs. and secondly I would want to control the front end offers so that I can customise to the traffic sources.
It does look like it may be complicated and not cost effective to set one up in the way they are currently formatted, I think I may have to come up with something new.
