Is monetag (propellerads) scaming me?

[Norman_drey]

my jetpack records up to 350 clicks to my monetag direct link but what I'm seeing on my monetag dashboard is critically low


anyone here using Monetag should enlighten me if this is how they rob their publishers, i was using Adsterra but stopped, recently tried Monetag and I'm seeing this, :sad

sometimes their ads don't even show up when i click the direct link, just a blank page most times, The same goes for their popuder.

 

[Norman_drey]

what i am getting from monetag is not up to 70 link clicks,

@Propeller Ads can you help?

They work a bit strange. For example, one of my website has been offline since 2 months now and I still receive impression on Monetag dashboard, even though the website isn't working anymore. But, they do pay. Not that well, but they do pay.

This is good,

do you experience the problem of ads not showing most times on direct links and popunder, it shows blank once clicked and they won't record it,

what ads format are you using ?

But, they do pay. Not that well, but they do pay.

wil you choose them over adsterra?

No, their ads work as intended. The only flaw i've seen is that the website keeps receiving "ghost" impressions. There were days when my website got 3 views but they would show like 600 impressions, only 2% of them being paid. I don't know how their system detects this but they show way more impressions than the reality.

Monetag + Adsense it the best combo i've find so far.

It could be bots and crawlers. This description fits the number of visits tracked by CloudFlare vs GA.

i noticed the direct linkf from my monetag dashboard do change why?

first it was something else, few hours ago my direct link was d*******.net but now is v*********.net so if visitors keep cllicking on the previous link will it still count?

 

[Norman_drey]

P.S.
direct link changed and am losing traffic because they don't record clicks from the previous link

Greetings to all,

Contacting PropellerAds won’t help you as PropellerAds is a multisource advertising platform for media buyers, agencies, brand owners, and affiliate marketers. I bet what you guys are discussing here is concerning monetisation of your traffic sources @roydan

So let us clarify a few things and if you have further questions, feel free to ask us

1. Dashboard Counting - We’d like to highlight that we count “Ad impressions” not clicks, so if for a example a user clicks but he never gives us a n impression out of this click then it is not counted in our dashboard. Although, when you observe such differences feel free to contact support team: [email protected] so we can check your case specifically and see if there is some tech issue and figure out why such discrepancy between your stats and out stats @Norman_drey
2. “Gohst” impressions - There are cases where you can still get impressions even if your website is offline i.e if the tag is forgotten on some source and you forgot it or if you have placed before Push Notifications, but could you please clarify which type of ads is this counting for? You can also contact support [email protected] and check your case @theseuz
3. Monetag + Adsense - Thanks a lot for rooting for that, on our official Blog we have plenty of articles regarding this, for example: https://monetag.com/blog/monetag-google-adsense-can-they-work-together/
4. @Norman_drey could you please clarify, are you referring to the domain name of the direct link?

We are always at your disposal and do not hesitate to write us in DM, so we could check each case thoroughly

What I'm saying is this: I'm having lots of click recorded on my jetpack stats but when I check monetag stats I only see few,
For example, if I'm getting 8k link clicks I'll only seen 2k or Less

Yeah, that part is understood and we have replied to you in the first part of our response - "Dashboard Counting" So if your systems counts clicks, you are comparing wrong things as our system counts impressions, not clicks, so it makes sense that the impressions are usually lower than clicks, Although it is better to contact support so we can check technically how the ads work on your site

Is fine, the only issue I have with monetag is them holding my money for a month, even someone doing a regular 9-5 jobs would be better than me in this case

@Norman_drey if you contact their support, please post their response here (if it is not too revealing), and indicate whether you find this issue resolved. I think it can be beneficial for the community.

Good point @roydan if Norman is ok with this, he can share but please pay attention that each case is different and maybe the response to that may vary

Dear, write me in DM your account email and i can check about that. You can always change the frequency of your payout, this is not a big issue

 

[CONWAY]

Sometimes, communication problems, misunderstandings, or technical glitches can lead to payment delays or other issues. It's important to maintain a clear line of communication
