You heard it right and no its not a title designed to get you here and then to find out something stupid. You may very well see your conversions drop 30% within the next month!
As most of you know that are doing ringtones offers with a CPA network, when a user comes to the offers landing page they have 2 steps they need to go though before you get paid. First they need to enter their mobile phone number, and then they will receive an SMS with a code that they need to confirm on the site that they really want it.
A Third step is currently being added!
Now, details are still a little sketchy as to what exactly the third step will be, however I have had this confirmed from Several Affiliate Managers and also with Several Friends that I know and trust.
However, it has been noted by several that this will be taking place within three to four weeks on a carrier by carrier basis. I couldn’t get any info as to which carriers would be the first to implement this or which ringtone providers, however, every affiliate manager I talked to has stated they are expecting at least a 30% drop in conversions.
Please Note: Some of this stuff is speculations by AM’s or Friends in the Industry, like the rate of conversions dropping and also what exactly the third step will be, however, do know that this is true and going to happen soon, so prepare for it!
UPDATE: The third step is supposedly going to be after the PIN submit, they will then receive a text message saying they will be charged x.xx a month and to reply either yes or no.
