After Working Hard and spending more than 5000$ with adwords i made around 9000$ with CPAcampaigns .com I requested them for payment . Firstly they said they were talking with the advertisers regarding the Leads. Next after few days they sent a email that i sent bad leads and my account was made inactive. Then i replied them about the traffic as it was perfectly from Search Engine. Even the refferer of clicks has the proof. Then they replied me stating We are investigating the situation further and are asking for more definitive answers. I will not remove you form the network – I will let you know when I hear anything from the client. But still my account is still inactive . Most of my earnings are at stake . I am having all my credit card bills that i have to pay that i used for adwords. I am not sure what to do . Can anyone suggest me the best way to deal this ? Should i file a lawsuit and sue them for this ? Thank You.
did they provided you the live tracking login and what was the user aggrement.. first go through it properly...there should be clause regarding canceling the agreement with in some specified period and if they have not given you any intimation for inactive account... then they are gone...
There is no User Agreement provided while signup https://secure.directtrack.com/affiliate_signup.html?CLIENT_NAME=cpacampaigns&super_affiliate_code=
got it.. you have the mail from them.. reply it saying that its not your concern wether the leads declined by merchants or not!!! notthing was mentioned in while sign up and i have not any legal documentation in this regard. you can move to court but make sure you have the evedance for the fact that those leads were actually generated.. otherwise they will escape saying that it can be a bug showing false stats... got it
Not all direct track based sites allow promotion via non-content based sites. Did you put a direct link to the advertisers landing page on your adword ad or did you create landing pages with only affiliate links only it & no content? However, I always promote an affiliate program with pay per click only after I ve received at least one payment from them so that i am sure that they will pay me again.
Its the direct track link that i have used ..( Affiliate Links ) Everything was tracked in direct track . even in my account it shows pending payment of 9000$ . Even i need to do as you do from next time .
I have had something like this with a dating affiliate network, I provided them with tons of paid memberships but they never paid me, I am still wondering what went wrong. The last email I had from them mentioned they are investigating my case and would get in touch with me but no reply till date. I tried to contact them via ICQ but the manager would not reply to any of my messages. The sensible thing to do here would be keep on their back about this show them screenshots of your adword billings & ads with a detailed report & hope for the best. If still it does not work out than I think, you should consult your lawyer, as $5000 could not be considered an amount to be overlooked.
Yes i will surely do that if they dont pay me by December 1st . I will file a lawsuit against them . I am confident about the traffic . If the advertiser doesnt pay them then its their problem . When i am sending in paid traffic from search they just cant state bad leads and make my account inactive without paying . I deal with 4 other affiliate networks . I never had any problem with them for the traffic i sent . It would be better if i file a lawsuit as they will learn not to repeat or play with affiliates who pour in their hard earned money to bring in traffic .
Or more likely, they'll just shut down and start up under a new name two days later. Why didn't you stick with a more reputable/well known company than go with these guys?
There was a good campaign with them. But didnot expect them to do this.. I also deal with azoogle,cpaempire and clickbooth ..everyone are just awesome ..ontime payment . With Cpaempire and Copeac(They started wire transfer only for me) i even get weekly payout. Just bcos of giving them a try .I am facing the problem now.

I am new to this forum! Sounds pretty fishy to me. Were you bidding on search terms the offer does not allow? I am surprised a network would act in this manner torward an affiliate driving traffic through search. I am an Affiliate Manager with CPAEmpire.com and we are very loyal to Search Affiliates. We also have weekly wires if you can average $1000/week which many take advantage of. PM me if I can be of assistance. Good luck being the debt collector you should be in this situation!
Welcome Tyler! If your trafic was legit and like CPAETyler wrote you didn't bid on not allowed keywords then that's bad Devil, I am sorry you had such problems.
I never did any such mistake . I did go according to the terms of that campaign. They just said I did bring in Bad Leads. The CEO of CPAcampaigns has just emailed me . I will update you further.
Now I get it where it went wrong most of the visitors, which put in their information like email, phone number etc did not put their real info in it, which is obvious in most cases. Even I don’t like providing my personal information to a third party online. Nevertheless, if a company offers an affiliate program for pay per leads this sort of situation is out of question, the company should bear this risk. The affiliate is doing its job of providing leads & should be paid no matter whether the email or phone number entered by the visitor if genuine or not. If the company is not willing to take such a risk, it should simply have a pay per sale campaign instead of pay per lead.
