It certainly is real. Cost per action marketing has not been part of internet marketing since the inception but in the past 3 years it has certainly taken off. When you look at it, it appears to be a lot like Affiliate marketing. It is all about getting referrals, it resembles affiliate marketing in that it is about the results that are achieved from the referrals.

The biggest difference between CPA and regular affiliate marketing is that the prospective referral does not need to buy anything for a result in the way of commission. The action is all that is sought with CPA marketing. The goal at hand is just to get the referral to do something that is free.

Once the perspective referral clicks on an ad, they will receive something for free, a report, recipe, or anything else. This is actually a way for the large off line companies to get referrals and leads.

If someone is stuck in the classic Affiliate marketing, they are going to think that this is some kind of scam. "How can someone make money when nothing is sold?" Well what we have to realize here is that this is designed by huge marketing companies and is profitable for them. Regardless how it looks, there is a profit potential for the people who are paying for the click.

The important thing to look at here is that this marketing is very well thought out by the marketing geniuses of the huge companies. In addition to that, one must realize that marketing is much different on the internet than in the world itself. There are very few of the Affiliates that do well in the internet marketing game that come equipped with a real education in marketing.

The online marketers look at the whole world of marketing much different than marketers of the past. These guys have things figured out to the bottom line all the way around. There is a statistic for every ad and every link. They know everything about every lead that comes from any one specific place.

The sad truth about this is that there are not to many people that make money with this type of marketing. The figures show us that about 90% of the marketers that try this do not make any real money or fail.

If someone does not have a good and strong record in CPA or a professionally designed website, they will fail. The websites have to be very highly designed in marketing psychology or the person will not make any money in the CPA world.

The bright light at the end of the tunnel is that there are now new CPA networks that are growing and will give the other marketing public a chance to make some money at this.
