CPALead Account Terminated

    Who else had their CPALead account terminated with no notice, no warning, no nothing?

    After finally receiving a response back from an account manager, they decided to stop allowing publishers promote their offers on GPT sites.

    I understand this totally but the way they handled it was unprofessional in my opinion. An email or call should have been made before just closing the account with no reason.

    In actuality, I don't really care that it's been closed (as long as I receive my current earnings), as they get most of their offers from other affiliate networks anyway.

    A majority of our Get-Paid-To sites that were signed up with us, were generating fraud and hurting our standing with our advertisers. We terminated all GPT sites because of the quality of traffic they brought to our network and many of our advertisers were threatening to pull their ads from us if we sent in anymore GPT traffic, so we had to pull the plug.

    Your site may have had excellent quality, but in a majority of the contracts we sign, we agree to not allow Get-Paid-To (Complete Surveys) publishers run our surveys. Just strictly ASD or Gateway only.

    We sent E-mails on the 20th of December. If you did not receive an E-mail, you may have an incorrect E-mail address listed on our site, our E-mail might be stuck in your junk folder, or there might have been a problem with the sending of the E-mail from our server.

    Either way, we did not forget about you. You will be compensated for all of your earnings. I appreciate your feedback and your honesty.

    Ah, the way it is looking to me is that unless you had 50.00 or more in your account, you will NOT be paid.
    I'll correct this if I'm mistaken.

    @troy, here is some quotes for you direct from your site

    http://www.cpalead.com/rewardyourusers.php
    "Whether it is prizes, exclusive content, game currency, points, turns, virtual gifts or even cash"

    http://www.cpalead.com/innovatetools.php
    "You can customize how you want to reward the user. Whether it's with gifts, game currency, points, turns or even a percentage of the cash you earn"

    http://www.cpalead.com/about.php
    "4) Get Paid To (GPT) Websites"

    Also you say just strictly ASD. What happens if the you are using the ASD for the GPT site?

    the final word turned out to be that unless you had at least 50.00 in your account, you would NOT be paid.
    I feel sorry that all of the affs that had 40.00 or so in there are now just out that money that they honestly earned.
    That's way uncool....MTD you were in the minority if you got paid just 33.00...be glad :)

    For all of you interested in this topic, we have paid CupidCash and MakeThatDollar, however we terminated their accounts as we no longer allow Cash Incentive sites. These two users did nothing wrong and they are great people, it is just our new policy to cater to the requests of the majority of our advertisers who no longer like cash incentive (GPT) traffic.

    Thanks Troy...i thought that was clear :)
    I mentioned in the other thread, but just realized that I didn't in this one...I did indeed recieve 54.00 via paypal today, so I was paid, although apparently I wouldn't have been had I had less money.
    I also agree that CPALead is a network you can count on...and if you guys had more highpaying offers such as trials and purchases, I would definitely put my nonincent site up there :)

    Troy are you going to update your site to reflect this? As you can see from my post there is a few things that may "lead people astray"

    Lol. My account isn't closed yet. I guess I can expect that to happen right about now so I'll just remove the automated offers thing... Thankfully I haven't earned much with them but still hope to get paid the amount I have with me.

    All of there ads are from other networks, and many of the times the offer tat are doing good they take them off. Also the publisher share rate is horrible!

    The type of network and there tool is great but the RATES are horrible!

    well at least they paid you guys regardless of the amount

    I'm currently with them too, but their offers pay way too little, so I run more of maxbounty than theirs.

    I do like the gateway though; it is an extremely unique way to attract publishers.

    Nice job Troy.

    I agree they have low paying leads but if you are a starter in CPA marketing, they have tons of offers to get you started. Other large networks do have high aying offers but how much they shave leads, you know it..
