There are plenty of avenues I can take to repay them and I appreciate all the suggestions.

Kevin knows of this thread now, so I'll give him some time to reach out and settle this.

If not, then I'll explore other avenues.


I honestly don't think they care. They've been flamed from one end of the internet to the other so what's another forum and a few dozen affiliates to them?

I was more trying to be funny than anything else, was posting from mobile so it was too much to type-

The reality of it is is Kevin and crew are real dickheads, I've met his lackies at ASW and assorted gatherings and their collective attitude drives me nuts.

As someone who's been in your situation more than a few times, my advice is the best thing you can do is move on and not waste time on the negative. Karma will catch up to XY7.

In the meantime let's make sure everyone knows that sending traffic to XY7 = enriching and emboldening outright scammers.
 
Advertise on BHW
Following this thread closely - Have a very similar situation on my account there - I have a feeling that this specific offer has been pushed to a number of BH networks via xy7 - and then has been pulled - causing much bigger issues that have not come to light yet :(

This advertiser is known to keep all BH traffic so I wonder are they not involved?
 
I actually just got approved by them a few days ago.

Just sent an email saying that due to recent threads in the IM world, I now feel sending my traffic to them is too risky, and I'd like to close my account. =)

I was only at $21, but wonder how many more affiliates they are going to lose before they appologize to Po?:p
 
It's official, they don't give a shit about what happened and refuse to payout for the leads. This leaves me with having to pay out of my pocket to my affiliates.
 
Wow, how much actual annual revenue and potential annual revenue did they lose over this one issue? Maybe 700k actual over $xxx? I'd pay, I'd bitch about it but I would pay just to save face.
 
I've talked to a massive amount of other networks and advertisers since I started my own network. Every last one of them has a story about XY7 and the shady shit they pull. One network actually said "You're surprised they did that to you?!?!?".

XY7 has been flamed from one end of the web to the other. They've screwed so many people that they couldn't possibly afford to pay everyone off they've screwed. All the networks and advertisers I've spoken to despise them.

They've lost a huge chunk of money over this thread and it all could have been avoided by honoring the deals their AM's make.
 
Damn just read the whole thread, I dont know what its like to not be paid by my networks, im currently with strongerads, and they are a pretty god network cool offers that are unique. But yea id be rip shit over not getting paid. I work hard for my money. Maybe im greedy?
 
wow, so since we're indexed should be start the

xy7 does not pay

xy7.com unpaid

xy7.com rip off
 
This network has more trails on google than Brittany Spears vagina.

There seems to be a cleaning of networks and advertisers under way at the moment. Put simply, if a network gets a bad rep, that's it, they are fucked, and are not long for this world.

Same is true for advertisers that scam. The advertisers which welcomed incentive traffic, and flirted with the BH nets of late, have certainly not refunded the gains which they were afforded. In my book they are walking a very fine line and doing the BH equivalent of staying below the radar. Just enough to avoid pissing off the FTC and their MIDs, in some cases they are failing like FCR.

The whole balance between advertiser, network, and publisher is shifting. I dont subscribe to the panic and woe that some are feeling. Money breeds greed, and greed is a wonderful motivation to drag your heels in the face of change.

Our internet will continue to pump out more and more millionaires, but dont assume that things will always be as they are now.

I see a lot more xy7 type events in the near future - choose wisely, and perhaps look back to some of the older BHW posts, as a 'back to basics' may be on the way.

b-b-but they wrapped a car with logos at ASW!
 
I have yet to be paid either for traffic I sent to an offer in Decemeber and January and no one seems to be able to give me a reason why. I ran an offer with them that I run on another network converts 1 in 2 or 1 in 3 with them 1 in 60 if I am lucky and I still don't get paid. Ridiculous!
 
Pofecker - That is crap man... I am sure you are probably sick in your stomach from the feeling of them doing that to you. I would make a nice YouTube video about XY7 and include chat logs in the video. Pump up the views and let it get indexed. People should know to steer clear of them.

Just state the facts and the truth in the video... Telling the truth is never wrong bro! Go tell it!

Pofecker ...
Before reading this thread I was looking for a new network and found XY7 through
offer vault. I was about to join when I saw what they did to you and others around.

So instead I went to Stronger Ads and got approved.
I won't make XY7 not one dollar.
 
yea they still owe me 3500.00 I just never minded it. but they are scammers 100% scammers
 
Company is done, high earners are gone and new blood will trickle at best or hardcore scammers will hit the network just for fun.
