What is PPD & CPA?
Paid Per Download (also known as PPD) is an online monetizing technique used by millions of people. This techniques involves valuable content being uploaded to a " Paid Per Download " network. When this valuable content is downloaded by a user, the uploader will be paid a sum of money for that download. Users who wants to download these valuable content must first complete a task given by the " Paid Per Download " network before given access to the valuable content. These surveys are supplied by the network's upstream provider (CPA Networks). Cost Per Action is an online advertising pricing model, where the advertiser pays for each specified action (a purchase, a form submission, and so on) linked to the advertisement.

I'm in a network, now what?
Now that you're in a network, I'll show you some basic tools that all networks should have to help you get started. I'll be using File Ice as an example.
Earnings Summary
Earnings Summary is a feature that summarizes all your earnings and affiliate earnings.
This is useful as you are able to check how much you've earned per day, per month, or all time.
Earnings Breakdown & Statistics
This squeezes all your earnings such as referral, premium, normal and others into a graph so you'll be able to check your earnings. (P.S. - I don't use File Ice anymore so earnings are $0.)
Widget Generators
Widget Generators are a great way of earning money if you do not wish to hotlink your traffic to your PPD network. Instead, you can make surveys popup at your own site. These generators are fully customizable.
File Manager
This tool is for you to upload all your files and manage them.
