I had heard some good things about them here and on other forums so I decided to deposit $50 to try advertising with push ads. After spending the first $50 I quickly learned that the traffic is absolutely garbage and I was never going to get any conversions. At that point I requested a refund on the remaining $50 in my account balance..

They gave me a hard time but finally agreed to refund me, saying it would be about 5 days to process it. That's fine, I understand refunds can take time for accounting purposes. But after 5 days I hadn't heard from them, so I reached out and was told to be patient. 5 more days go by and still nothing, so I reach out once again and got the same answer, "please be patient refunds take time blah blah blah". Since then they just ignore me every time I try to ask for an update, so I've just accepted I'm probably not getting the refund.

I would advise you all to stay clear from this platform! Terrible traffic and even worse business practices.

Rant over.

I did try them but I ended up going round and round in circles
 
yeah their traffic is trash, try Mobidea Push ,zeropark , richpush
 
Most companies are quick to take your money but to give it back it's another story.
Thank you for the warning!
 
I used Propeller in the past when was in affiliate marketing and everything was fine.
Spent 20k+$ there and their push, pops, native traffic is one of the best on the market.
If you can't convert it, you're just doing something wrong.

Already using propeller and everything is fine.
anyway i won’t recommend to buy push traffic from huge companies as it can be burned out months ago.
 
Judging by the comments its 50/50 scam, works for some doesn't for the others.
 
Propeller Ads are known for sending a LARGE quantity of bot traffic to it's advertisers, and they do blend it with some real traffic from natives ads just to confuse the advertiser.

if you don't have a script installed in your LP that filters the bot traffic, and willing to spend few hundred dollars to filter the traffic sources (ID's of the publishers) just to figure out where the rare gems are then do yourself a favor and SPEND your hard earned money elsewhere.

their whole business model is based on the greed of the advertiser, they think they are getting a cheap traffic, while all they get is a big middle finger to the face.

Personally, I wouldn't buy their traffic for a penny.

Lol I spent a little more than I anticipated. Propellerads Push is good but needs optimization and filtering.

And here an example of a winning campaign for CPA offers. Altho was a small amount, had other campaigns profiting too. It says on top Propeller Pop but it's actually push. That's the Voluum preset config for Propeller, it says Pop but the config works for POP, Push and Inter.

Here is a campaign that I use to acquire users for my own Chrome extension. It's all in RED because the earnings cannot be tracked, so disregard it. But notice the low ECPA for USA. And the traffic is high quality. Although you need to do some filtering too.

And I use Richpush as well for Push for my extension. Tried Evadav but the ECPA was way too high.

They send a lot of adware traffic, but all advertisers do it.
These are the rules of the game.
Use tracker, make white/black lists of zones. It's part of the job.
You can't succeed in affiliate marketing without a budget for tests.
 
I don't know who to believe, some are saying it works fine some not. I will be waiting before taking any decision.

That's true, even with Facebook ads you need to have enough start up capital to get enough data to see through even doing it right.
 
They become trash the day when they disabled native ads. Pure trash.
