And I am not 3pfang. You guys are definitely nuts, instead of trying to see if there were some merits in what I am saying, you automatically want to reject it, because you do not want to see the truth. That for $15 you are willing to let go any of your principles and blindly be a part of this scam, you were bought for $15. Enjoy. Yes learn2earn, the account was created specifically for this thread, I saw this thread and decided to warn the people. I am one of the victims of adflasher, but apparently nobody wants to believe me. They want to believe that money is that easy to earn. You have 3 websites in your signature, you obviously know how it works, is it really that easy to earn money online? You yourself have advertisements in your website, you know it takes a lot of hard work maintaining a website and promoting them. I will try to explain it again and give an example. Do you see the links in the signature of learn2earn? If you visit any of those websites, you will see advertisements from google and probably yahoo, because he is one of the thousands of online companies who signed up to be a publisher just like adflasher. But unlike adflasher he is doing it correctly and legitimately because he is not paying people to click on it, but rather he works so hard to provide quality content and if people are interested in the products or services offered in those advertisements they will click it. That is what we the advertisers signed up for. And Valerie, how the hell could you explain that my advertisement is being shown on adflasher? Again enjoy being a part of this scam. You were bought for $15. Valerie is probably one of the publicists of adflasher, her job is to promote this scam, I wonder how you can sleep at night huh Valerie? Valerie you really think I will disclose here any information about my online business and how it operates so you can with your vast network in adflasher try to destroy it's reputation? You are out of your mind. All I am asking to the people on this thread is to at least try to think about it, what benefit as an advertiser we get every time you click on our advertisement and you are not even interested or looking for our services and instead you are just paid to click? NOTHING. And Valerie, this scam is not something new, stormpay did this before too and they are gone now. You claim that you have been working for 15 years online, you should know better, but apparently the only thing you have mastered is the art of scamming online. Digitalpoint forums doesn't allow me to add an image or links to show you the stats of how many people adflasher sent to my site. Adflasher is just so nice, although I never signed up on their website, just out of the goodness of their hearts they are sending me tons of visitors, and out of the goodness of their hearts they are paying you. Get real people!
Dude! If they were a publisher of yahoo, yahoo would be on the ads, like, it would say "Ads by Yahoo" "Advertise here". And you never signed up for the service, how do you know that we are just being paid to click? That's not how it is at all. We have to WATCH advertisements, not just click them. If we like the ad then we click it to find out more info, but they don't say we have to click it, they say we have to WATCH it for so much time, like 5 seconds (plenty of time to see if you like a product). And a good alexa rating is VERY good for a website because the higher your rating the more visitors you get > the more money you make. P.S. You could be banned for posting so many time in a row. Use the EDIT button. Testing to see if images work, which I think they do: Scribblenauts, great game
To miketh2005 It doesn't say yahoo or google ads, but it is, they are in violation of the TOS, they are not suppose to change the code, but they did. You have to view the website for a few seconds because otherwise it will not be considered a click. Why do you think I am pissed off if they are just sending me visitors for free??? Do you really think it is coming out of their pocket when they are paying you??? Do you really think they are sending me visitors and giving you money to click just out of the goodness in their hearts? I have no problems with paid to click websites, for as long as they are not displaying ads of people who did not sign up for this kind of agreement, that is why I am pissed off, I never did sign up for this kind of agreement and yet I am being charge in yahoo and google. I'm going to try to add an image on this post again. If it doesn't show up, you can go to this site yomdy dot com / awstats.jpg
Hello, I no this is my first post, but that's because I was looking for information about Adflasher.net My website is videogametrader.com so you can know that I am legit. I noticed my alex rank increase dramatically over the last couple days. I investigated and discovered that I am getting a lot of traffic from AdFlasher.net. From reading this post and my experience I don't see how I am being scammed. I only have small accounts with Google Adwords, Facebook and a few others. I mean small because my daily budget is no more than $1 on any given network. Also, if Adflasher.net was sending me clicks from a CPC network like google it would show up in my google stats and would show up on my google analytics as coming from Google and not from Adflasher.net. So far, I don't see any harm in this. My guess is that they added me for free so I can see the traffic increase and then will ask me to pay later. We shall see. But so far, I am happy with my Alexa Ranking going up.
And adflasher sent you tons of traffic just out of the goodness in their hearts. If they sent you 1000 people, that means they paid $300 to the paid clickers just to make you happy. You really believe that? You act like you really know how it works... when the truth is if they clicked your advertisement from the google search results, the referrer will show as google, but if they click it from the "content match" network it will not. Adflasher belong to the "content match" network, they are one of the thousands of publishers that signed up from google and yahoo. I am out of here and will no longer monitor this thread, I can see how easily a lot of people can be bought for $15. I appear to be the evil one because it appears that I am trying to take away their $15. $15 is just too tempting. I offer nothing but enlightenment, but people refuse to see because they are willing to sell their souls for $15. Thanks to DigitalPoint forums for giving me this opportunity to share what I know.
There is a lot of peon here. I don't think they are using Yahoo ads for displaying. If they are then they are coming through another network. Anyone using Yahoo or Google click ads should understand that a large percentage of their dollars are going to fraud monkey clicks oneway or another. Don't be buying these ads and then cry about how much money you have lost to fraud. And when you complain to yahoo about it, Good luck on getting a reply. They make money off this. Should have been using an affiliate network where you only pay if a sale or lead is made. You don't have to pay for clicks.
Well bo, it is late, or actually early, and I am too tired to read your post again, but seems to me, something is amiss with what you are saying. Because, they do not use google or yahoo. I can see what they use. One of the programs they are affiliated with, is the same program I have been affiliated with for friggin years.....I mean lots of years. Also, you did not say if your site is an affiliate site. If it is, perhaps they are an affiliate. A good amount of the sites they display are affiliate sites. Sites that anyone can join for free, become an affiliate, promote their own affiliate link. I've even joined some of the sites that I viewed there. I have also made two purchases from sites I viewed there. Also, a member of one of my programs that is an affiliate, advertised there and got referrals. I don't really know what you mean in regards to viewing for 5 seconds. You can view a site as long as you want to view it. I know I must have sat on one site almost 20 minutes, reading the info. But here is the bottomline of it, if you see a problem then you report it to whatever it is you are using. I was using a program that placed adult ads once and I got fired up about that...I contacted them, they apologized and it was a slip thru the cracks so to speak. A scam is an intentional thing. I mean 99% of the law is the intention to scam that makes a scam. If you put up a program with the intention to scam people out of their money, you are a scamster. But that does not mean your members or your customers are scamsters. IF that program is or does go against policies of any ad type network they use, that ad network is going to know it and they will know it real fast. Like I said, I can see what they use and it is not yahoo and it is not google. I also know quite a few individuals that have purchased advertising there...and I am going to also...I've just been waiting for their member base to build more because I have a lot of stuff I am going to promote with them.
I believe what they are doing is combining Adsense with Paid Advertising, each 'View' you click 3, 4 or 5 times during that 'View' to earn $0.30 so divide that by the average of 4 and you are earning around $0.075 for each Ad you have to click on, the Company obviously make more than 7.5c per click, maybe they are using the CountryKeyword Program or similar so are finding Niche and High paying Keywords. They also enable advertisers to pay by the 1000 impressions, it's around $4.50 I think for 1000, as there are 54 or so Ads on the View Page at any one time so how many times the Ads get clicked during that time is anyone's guess, however, what I will say is I started this 2 days ago and like someone said above I found myself homing in on one or two Ads that caught my eye and I would wait til the View had finished, you then get to see all the Ads without having to click on the one with the count down, hence enabling you to be able to click on any you like, I've even bookmarked 7 sites as I want to make purchases from them in the near future, so as you can see if I am the average viewer who will purchase products as well as earn by viewing and clicking then it's a Win/Win for both the Advertiser (if of course your Ad is eye catching, your Landing Page Very Good and your Product unusual or worth purchasing that is!) and the consumer i.e. you the viewer. Just my Pennies worth, but I can see how good this is for both parties, if you are an affiliate then just make sure if you buy Ad impressions that your Ad and product will catch the eye of the kind of person who will click Ads to earn, they are your targeted audience, i.e. don't go adding car maintenance or hair cutting manuals on there!
lol They don't use adsense. Anyway, ya'll have fund guessing but truly, it is obvious to see what they use if you know how to look for it. Nice discussing this with ya'll.
Okay Valerie, I was guessing what they are using, obviously it is something similar at least in the style of Adwords, but I see your point as they would have to have Google in there somewhere else they would be violating Googles Policy and rules. Maybe it is Commission Junction or similar. Whatever it is, the Ads will be covered by the advertiser and if they are good as I said above then they will attract attention and make sales and sign ups for the advertiser.
After reading this thread I have decided that Val and truffels are crazy and I also feel bad for boni who is suffering by paying for these false clicks. Val and truffels stop bsing. You did not book mark any of the ads. You do not plan on advertising with this site. You are lying. I consider myself to be one of the sites average members. I waited for the ad to fully load and immediately exited it. I was confused as to how they can be paying for something like this as I know how internet marketing works. I started googling and found this site and I can now see their site's trickery. I will no longer use this site or pay for any ad packs or whatever that shit was
Can a mod close this stupid thread. All i see are a bunch of newbies arguing back in forth. I think the thread starter started this for some kind of advertisement, no hard feeling towards him.
SAME PERSON, YET AGAIN. Dude, anyone who will read your post will have already seen enough proof that adflasher isnt doing anything wrong by the posts above. Sure, most people will wait for it to load and click out but If a site interests someone, then they will bookmark it, go buy it etc. its just common sense. It's EXACTLY like commercials. Do you think most of the people see a commercial and say "I want that!"? No! They watch it cause they want to see their TV show. But, of course if something intrests them, they WILL say "I want that!". It's how marketing works.
Ok... WHAT??? The thread starter made a post which anyone would make who is skeptical about a scam: If anyone has tried it before he gets scammed.
The site register like a month ago..What is all that yapping about?. This is one of the site you will say oh well after 2-3 months later. Domain Name: ADFLASHER.NET Created on: 03-Aug-09
With all these newbies coming forward with all that bs, i don't know what to think. Anyway the site don't look too professional for me. I would never use it, that's me.
Thanks a lot for sharing these proofs i think i should also give them a try as i am in dire need of traffic for my websites
