I came across cpabuild a while ago and decided to give their offers a try. I promoted an offer with facebook ads and got 167 clicks but no conversion. Its an email submit offer. I decided to check the offer page with VPN.

When i got to the offer page, it showed a popup and it redirects visitors from main offer to another offer without even letting them complete the first offer

When i asked my AM about it, here's his reply

Don't promote their offers without looking at landing page by going to the URL. Don't trust the landing page screenshots. I suggest don't even use that network who doesn't care about its affiliates

I don't even know how regular e-mail submits prosper for affiliates promoting them. Of course they shave and only the advertiser and network really only win here.
 
Shaving is actually pretty common in this industry. That's why you always want to use trackers so you can literally track anything.
Was the offer that you promoted geo restricted? Because some VPN's get automatically blocked by the advertiser and either get a notify page "You country is not available for this offer" or redirected to a offer that is available in their country.
 
i believe its not shaves but in email submit offers the offer owner need specific targeted people if your lead while filling his/her info in the submit page wasnt the owner offer target it will not count as one lead for you and about the one you filled yourself for sure it will not count because you have used VPN which is not allowed in all the offers and there is filter to catch this type of leads and remove it
 
It is common knowledge that almost of them do that. That's how they earn more than you do.

Why I'm glad I tested an offer with Max. I had somebody test it for me the offer said spots are full and redirected him to an another.
 
So because you were unable to complete the offer on a VPN IP, you conclude that they MUST be shaving?

read the post carefully. I landed on the original offer page. Then the landing page shows an alert box and tells user to claim their prize by clicking yes. Then if user clicks either option, yes or no, they redirect user to completely different offer

If you are so eager to investigate, please PM me. I will send you offer URL and you can check it out yourself
 
I think we should all protest and stop sending traffic to every of these cpa networks, CPAGrip also.

We should join all together somehow and for a start let’s say stop sending traffic for one week. And continue more progressively until they see they can’t make money without us.

Your OP was 3 lines, I HAVE read it.
Now why don't you read my original reply instead?

You're using a shitty IP so they redirect the offer to something generic. How is that so hard to understand?

i am already on the landing page. They haven't geoblocked other IPs anyways. You can complete this offer from any IP anyway. I have been doing this for 3 years. I know they redirect when offer is geo restricted. I am talking about something different here

its hard to make people think the same way. there's like 5% of publishers maybe who earn huge money with their SEO sites. i actually think that advertisers shave directly,cpa companies won't shave that much in order to keep their reputation. incentive advertisers are pure thiefs and scammers.

no, the zalando denmark offer. I tested an offer with maxbounty which has same number of fields that are name, email, telephone, address and it converted. 3 leads from just 44 clicks. I was promoting cpabuild because of low minimum payout and thought maxbounty is shaving me
 
They are a very shitty CPA network in general. I stopped promoting offers with them a long time ago because of the same issue.

Note that when contacting your aff manager, he or she will always tell you that either they "found" some shady activity or that the issue is on the advertiser's side and they can't do anything about it.
 
Did the offer have a "daily Leads cap" as your AM said we have 52 leads for today !!??

Good idea but they already got thousands of publishers now, at the start they will convert well but I believe split testing is key here
