Is afflow still profitable? (4)

So I followed that big 8 part afflow tutorial when I first started with pops. And I've moved on to some other networks where I'm working on specific offers with my own landers for testing. However as a programmer I was bored and wrote up some logic to spot afflow possible winners. But before I throw in a bunch of money testing it was wondering if afflow is even profitable anymore. I ask because so much of the advice on pops in this board is geared towards running multiple landers, etc but afflow obviously is just basic direct link. Even if it's a small amount like $$ or $$$ a day curious if it works for anyone and worth spending some time making some automated flow for testing it. Thanks!

Can you elaborate on the single direct campaigns? Do you mean like specifying the link to just show one offer? I have done this while optimizing but since they only give you the offer by ID and don't show any description or images as to what the offer is about I haven't been able to make landers for them. I guess I could find a proxy to do that but just wanted to check first. Thanks so much for your reply!

Yep exactly you can specify the offer code. The thing is on afflow outside the "direct link" campaigns, every offer has highly optimized landers in front of them already. So your efforts are best spent looking for those offer IDs that meet the epc criteria you need.
