GetResponse email and Maxlead offers

GetResponse is an email product. Publishers use it to hold a list and send a broadcast or a sequence. It is not a CPA network, and it is not a traffic source you can assume every offer accepts. Maxlead does not own GetResponse. GetResponse does not own Maxlead. You use them together only when the offer allows email, and only by placing the Maxlead tracking link inside a message that goes to people who actually asked to hear from you.

Maxlead is a CPA performance network that has operated since 2015. After the publisher account is approved, public offers are available. Other offers stay closed until you apply and an admin approves the request. The tracking link is issued on the offer and already includes your publisher id. You can pass s1 through s8. Those values come back on the conversion report and the performance report. A global postback covers the account. An offer postback covers one campaign. The dashboard shows clicks, conversions, earnings, EPC, and CVR. Approved earnings are paid every week. Pending and rejected conversions are not paid as if they were approved.

Nothing in that desk is built into the email login. There is no hidden connector that turns a GetResponse send into an approved conversion. The message carries the link. The link records the click. The offer rules decide whether the click was allowed to exist at all.

Only if the offer allows email

Read the offer before you write the subject line. Email is a source, and sources are not interchangeable. An offer that allows native, social, or display can still forbid email. An offer that allows email can still forbid bought lists, incentive clicks, or a particular kind of sequence. If the rule is silent, do not guess. Ask the account manager on Maxlead whether email is accepted for that campaign and for the country you mail. A yes is permission to prepare a test. A no is the end of the idea. Research, a full draft, and a designed header do not overrule the offer.

If email is forbidden, do not “warm the list” with a vague message and then redirect to the offer. The redirect is still email traffic. If email is allowed, stay inside the rest of the rules: the country list, the action that pays, and the claims you may make. International campaigns are part of the network, so a list full of addresses from outside the offer’s countries is the wrong list, even when the tool will happily send to it.

Approval to use the offer is a separate check. A public offer can be mailed, if email is an allowed source, once your account is approved. A closed offer needs a request and an admin approval before the first send. Do not mail a link you copied from someone else. The tracking link has to be the one issued on your account, with your publisher id.

List hygiene

Hygiene is how you keep a list worth mailing. It means you know where each address came from, you can show that the person asked for this kind of mail, you remove bounces, you honor unsubscribes, and you stop writing to people who have not opened or clicked in a long stretch. A dirty list produces complaints. Complaints get the sending domain blocked, and they also produce the kind of click an advertiser rejects: a person who did not want the offer and will not complete it honestly.

Keep one clear reason for the list. A list that signed up for a newsletter about a topic can receive an offer about that topic if the offer allows email and the signup said commercial messages were part of the deal. A list that signed up for a password reset, a support ticket, or a one-time download did not agree to a CPA blast. Do not merge those groups because the email tool lets you. Tag the source of the address and mail the tag that matches the offer.

Clean before the test, not after the rejection report. Remove hard bounces. Remove role addresses that are not a person if your own policy says so. Remove anyone who already unsubscribed, including people who unsubscribed in another tool and were imported by mistake. Send the test to a segment you can describe in one sentence, not to every contact in the account. A smaller, cleaner send is easier to read on the Maxlead report, because the clicks belong to one audience.

This page is not legal advice. Email rules depend on the country of the sender and the recipient. Consent, identification, and a working unsubscribe are your responsibility on top of the offer rules. Meeting the offer rule does not replace the law, and following a template in an email product does not prove the campaign is lawful. If you are unsure, pause the send.

Do not buy junk lists

Do not buy a list. A purchased file is a set of addresses that did not ask you for this offer. The seller’s promise that the names are “targeted” does not make them your subscribers. Junk lists bounce, they mark mail as spam, and they attract clicks from people who have no interest in completing the action. Those clicks show up on your tracking link and then fail approval, or they never convert and simply burn the reputation of the domain you send from.

Renting a blast from an unknown list is the same mistake with an extra invoice. You still do not know the consent, you still do not control the complaints, and you still cannot tell Maxlead a clean story about the source. If the offer bans purchased data, the ban covers this. If the offer does not mention it, the safe assumption is still no. Build the list from people who opted in to you, or do not mail the offer.

Scraped addresses, contest lists you did not run, and “append” services that guess an email from a name are junk for this purpose too. They are not a shortcut to EPC. EPC is earnings per click on traffic you sent. Garbage clicks make that number worse, and they do not become approved earnings on the weekly payout.

The tracking link in the email

The click in the message has to be the tracking link from the offer on Maxlead. Not the advertiser’s bare page, not the preview URL, and not a GetResponse link that only points at a hosted draft. Buttons, text links, and image maps all need that same destination. If the tool rewrites links for its own click count, confirm the rewrite still lands on the Maxlead URL with your publisher id and your sub IDs intact. Send a test message to yourself and click it. The click should appear in Activity before you mail the segment.

One primary action is enough. A message with three offers and six buttons cannot be read on a sub ID, because you will not know which promise produced the click. For a test, one offer, one link, one action. Say what the person will do on the page, in the same language as the page, and only in countries the offer accepts. Do not claim a result the offer does not claim. Do not imply the reader has already won or already been approved. Your payout is not their prize.

The subject line is a claim too. If the body is careful and the subject is a fake alarm, you have still misled the list. Match the subject, the preheader, and the button to the action. A person who opens the mail should not feel tricked when they reach the form. Tricked visitors complain, and advertisers reject the leads.

Sub IDs for the broadcast

Give every broadcast its own sub IDs before you send. A practical map is s1 for the source, set to something plain like email, s2 for the list or segment name, s3 for the broadcast or the message name, and s4 for the link position if you are testing a button against a text link. A follow-up in a sequence gets its own s3. If you reuse yesterday’s sub ID on a rewritten message, the performance report blends two sends and you cannot tell which wording was approved.

Keep the names short and stable. email, list-household, broadcast-0412, and button are enough. Put the same words in the GetResponse campaign name so you can line the two screens up later. The publisher id is not a label you edit. It identifies your account. The sub IDs identify the mail. s5 through s8 stay free for a country code or a date if the segment needs them.

Do not hide the source. If you are mailing, s1 should say email, not a vague word you hope will look like native traffic. The report is for you. Mislabeling it does not change what the advertiser sees in the lead, and it will confuse you when a rejection comes back on that sub ID. Honest labels make the next decision obvious: mail again, change the segment, or stop.

What the email tool will not report

Opens and clicks inside GetResponse are not conversions. A click on the rewritten link is not, by itself, an approved lead. The conversion lives on Maxlead, after the visitor completes the action and the conversion is approved. EPC and CVR are calculated there. EPC is earnings per click. CVR is approved conversions divided by clicks. Neither figure is a score in the email product, and neither figure appears because a broadcast looked busy.

If you want the conversion in a tracker as well, set a postback on Maxlead. The global postback covers the account. An offer postback covers this campaign only. The postback fires when a conversion is approved or rejected. Pending does not fire it. You can pass the click id, the payout, the status, the offer, and sub1 through sub8, which are the values you put on the link as s1 through s8. Point that URL at your tracker, not at GetResponse, unless you have deliberately built an endpoint that product can accept. Do not assume a native payout integration exists. The reliable path is the tracking link in the mail and the report on the network.

Read the broadcast on the performance report after the send, grouped by the sub IDs you set. Keep a message that produced an approved conversion you can explain. Pause a segment that produced complaints, bounces, or clicks with no approvals. Do not mail the same dirty segment again with a louder subject. Fix the list or retire it.

Payout and the next send

Approved earnings are paid every week, at the rate on the offer. A conversion still pending is not part of that payment. A rejected conversion is not quietly added later as if it had been approved. Wait for status before you call the broadcast profitable. Then compare approved earnings with the real cost of the list, which is your time, your sending setup, and any fee you pay the email product. Maxlead does not see that fee, and this page will not invent one. Profit is your comparison, not a number on the spy-free email dashboard.

Scale by mailing a similar clean segment, not by buying names. Change one thing at a time: the subject, or the segment, or the offer. Give the change a new sub ID. Talk to the account manager before you request a stack of extra offers to fill a sequence. One allowed offer mailed to one healthy list is a campaign. Five offers in one week, to a list that never opted in, is how email gets banned and how approvals disappear.

A practical order of work

Confirm the offer on Maxlead allows email in the country your list actually reaches, and confirm you are approved to run it. Clean the segment. Refuse any bought or scraped file. Write one honest message. Put the tracking link on the button, with s1 through s4 naming the source, the list, the broadcast, and the link. Click a test copy and find it on your account. Send. Read clicks, approved conversions, earnings, EPC, and CVR. Set a postback if a tracker needs the status. Take the weekly payout of approved earnings only.

GetResponse can hold the list and deliver the message. It cannot approve the offer, and it cannot decide the payout. Those stay on Maxlead. If the offer does not allow email, leave the tool closed and pick a source the offer named.
