How much money were you pulling and what exactly are you doing that made them inquire?

How much money were you pulling and what exactly are you doing that made them inquire?

it's about 960$ now. cookie stuffing, some campagin... didnt do anything just got email. i guess because my traffic is blanked. (stuffed forums)

If its blanked tell them whatever you want. Tell them you're doing PPC campaigns and you blank you referrer so someone inside their company doesn't steal your keywords, etc.

do not say you're blanking your referrer! bad idea it's like admitting "I'm part guilty". Now's a good time to get some real advertisements going and point them to that direction.

dude, don't worry, everyone gets this email, its normal procedure for CJ. I made $800 off of some scheme where I used a non-incentive offer for an incentive site, and assumed that I got the email because they noticed what was up. But when I checked my email for another CJ account I had, which I had not promoted any offers and therefore had no earnings nor clicks, I got the same email. So don't worry, its normal, you're not in trouble, just make something believable up and they won't look into it.

Been there like you. Lost a CJ account and all the money in it due to blanking referrers. Doesn't matter what you tell them, it is against their TOS to blank referrers. I would say something like that tracking software you use does that to the referrers and you advertise via web banner and paid search and just hope to tell they believe it. End result even if they don't ban you will be that you can no longer send traffic without a referrer. I hope that is all they do to you.

I might be next being questioned because I blank my referrer too, what should I tell them?

 

[STBNetwork]

Tell them you have offline advertising.
Type in advertising is blank referrer!!!!!!!!!!

Dont say you do offline advertising because the IP address will not match the sales. Learned this the hard way...

 

[visualmagic]

What was the outcome of this?
