Well I can say that the biggest CPA advertiser had a call centre which was there biggest way to earn back the commission they paid us to get us leads. Also these guys had big budgets, unlike all the other advertisers, so when there were days when a certain offer would earn more then 100k they would be happy to pay. I'm guessing the other networks didn't have enough liquid assets to pay back publishers on time (we would get paid every Tuesday usually). Also the main network wasn't fussy where the traffic came from, as where every other network wants organic traffic (which is basically impossible anyway), so they would usually cut you off as soon as you started sending social media traffic, email traffic, sms traffic etc. But I primarily did email submit offers, they would convert as soon as someone put in their email so we would usually get conversion rates of 30-60% which was pretty dang good. But yea acai/ringtone got wiped out when the FTC stepped in over all the 'legitimate' reviews and credit card companies got strict on rebilling (which was the only reason they made money). The whole industry is struggling though, most people are now trying to make money from selling SEO services or reselling Facebook Fans and Youtube Views (which Google nuked the other day).
