Maxbounty confirmed shaving?

[gentzalli]

So this is kind of a weird situation.. I got a message on my contact form website of someone complaining about a product that they bought because of my websites recommendation. They said the customer service has been terrible and that "they bought it on Feb 2 with credit card".

Then, I check my reporting and it turns out I have not been credited for a sale for that product between Feb 1st, 2nd, or 3rd, to make sure that I'd see the stats in a different timezone, but still 0 sales for that product. What kind of BS is that maxbounty? I always knew that the conversion were way too inconsistent on this platform...

Everyone is shaving, even the most reputable network, zero exceptions.

Your issue should not be that. What you should be focusing on instead is your EPCs overall because this is what the network is telling you your traffic is worth to them. If they can't make money, they can't pay because first and firemost the advertiser will not pay them for worthless leads.

If the network gets paid from the advertiser you get paid from the network.

The majority of offers on any CPA network are not theirs; they are third parties.

MB is no different than any others except for Peerfly who did a cash grab and run according to postings on here.

I have been using 4 networks in last 5 months and still using them. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM SHAVES, and they are reputable networks too.

This is a cost per sale offer, as in someone had to put in their credit card to order a physical product. Doesn't seem like a 'worthless lead' to me.

Plus, the conversion is supposed to show up immediately and it never did.

Try to work directly with the advertiser? I havent had any luck myself though it could be the offers that I am running. Worth a shot to write them an email or call them.

I also think that every network shaves.. Some more then the other.

Personally, I think the shave the least among all the networks that ive tried.

How exactly do you go about contacting the advertiser directly. I have a massive email list that converts like crazy for sweepstakes and giveaways

I work with adcenter, toro advertising, affforce, mediahub, affbeat.. and i can confirm you that all of them shaving! You can't have every day 20/30 sales and then 4/5 days in the month, days with same traffic like every other days, 2/3 sales. It's simply impossible!

 

[TheVigilante]

Do one thing considering you are consistent with the sales why not approach the advertiser directly or try running the same offer on other networks and see for yourself maybe?

Don't u think the sale was made with credit card fraud or something like that? other than that u are right they should pay you for that lead
