The Big AM FAQ Thread!
Please click here for Part 2.
Over time, our mods have noticed that some of the same questions are being asked over and over again in the forums. As it turned out, caurmen already had a swipe file of threads he’s been referring members to, in response to some of the most frequently-asked-questions.
So I’ve taken that list and added to it – and the first draft of AM FAQs was born!
We’ll continue to add to this list in the future. It will save us mods a lot of time by directing members to threads that already contain the answers to their questions.

Won’t higher-payout offers make me more money than lower-payout offers? Should I avoid low-payout offers?

Which geo should I target?
Traffic from some developing countries will convert better than that from developed countries. This is partly because people from developing countries haven’t been subjected to advertising as much as people in developed countries are. Try Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
