Cleanfiles Shaving or it's just me?

33% for PPD is not very normal. Thats much too high. You were being very lucky.

i don't think so...its about consistency and knowing your traffic and how it converts.. the discrepancies are too big.
 
well it seems the topic is finally being talked about on the cf forums and lots of people are having the same problem... thanks for the feedback guys.
 
have you noticed any improvement this week?
 
so it seems something was rly going on....

If the posts on the official forum are to be believed, a lot of things were (are still) going on.

I am seriously considering testing out other networks.

indeed... i hope the admin is able to solve this problems.. i really liked cleanfiles before.
 
Usually network doesn't shave. I know from experience that advertisers are b*tches and they anytime give you 1000 reversals from US offer becaue of "bad leads" or they just don't credit leads. Advertisers do what they want. Too much kids nowadays spam PPD. So what do you expect. Gettin leads from fake email submits? Nope, advertisers won't credit it. They don't wanna lost money.
 
All PPD and CPA Incentive Networks shaves. None of them are clean at all. Talking about Cleanfiles then it's full of bugs. Even if they are not shaving there system is so fishy that every week there is a new problem there.

Also, Try Fileice. They seems to be legit enough :)
 
Cleanfiles are good some days and very bad at other times. I always find complaints on their forum ranging from widgets to payment schedules.
 
If you would look into it you would see that networks are not shaving. Only the advertisers do the shaving when they are validating leads. You should change the offers if they don't convert and do some tests!
 
Well..

Same traffic used to have a stable 10% 3 months ago...

Changing to FI to compare
 
I can't post links. But I've got something interesting from a completely unrelated forum. It can give you some clues regarding shaving in cleanfiles. (An older member, please repost the unshortened links )

That is saiyan I am 99% sure of it. I am Romanian, and read his hole story. His journey thread here was http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackh...506596-noobs-way-making-5-10-dollars-day.html and I remember at the time I found it really hard to believe he bought a car from cleanfiles earnings. Which he didn't. On softpedia(a Romanian forum) he posted what he really did and, unfortunately for cleanfiles users, is still doing: shaving around $10k-$20k a month without the owner knowing, and withdrawing through payoneer to avoid paying taxes. He even claims to have made enough money to buy a luxury apartment now. As he says in that forum, he was a nobody who turned into a rich nobody, who took and still takes advantage of other people's hard work on that network. Something should be done about him, soon!

Unfortunately, Google does a very lousy job at translating, but here goes anyway http://bit.ly/1izJONq
Basically, he admits stealing from cleanfiles users without knowing it, which is why, after realising his mistake, he deleted the thread(good guy google cache is our friend one more time).
 
This looks very bad for the whole network. I remember that another CF Mod was perma-banned recently for stealing traffic/money from the users.

I for one will cease to use Cleanfiles until I hear from reputable members that everything is back on track.

I hope HelloHelloSharp (the owner) will post here and tell us exactly what is going on.
 
These things happen with all PPD networks, not something to lose sleep over. Just work towards getting better traffic.
I can't help but think that theimgirl4sure is one of Saiyan's accounts. Same avatar and this user joined the same day they made this post. seems too convenient. This just seems like something he would say.
 
I agree, that smells very fishy, but I still hope that it turns out to be false, Sayian always seemed like a credible guy to me and Cleanfiles really can not handle another scandal without loosing the last bit of credibility.

Finally Kyle has accepted that it is Saiyan.
