Adnow Native Ads [Official Thread]

Noted..

Have got a lot to still learn about Adnow.

 

The ads shown are dependent on the location of the person viewing the page.
Your page viewers are in different places and should see different ads

 

Yeah. They are dependent of geolocations

 

Ticket ID: #25081

I was waiting for a payout of 74$ for a few days...
What i got was, not a payout, instead a ban saying that my site had fraudulent activity...

Website: http://lightnovels.world

I was using adnow for over a month now...
When i complained and requested for more info i was given a snapshot...




As you can see, my site is a novel website, hence the log screenshot they provided clearly shows that it was a reader who was reading a novel, this novel had multiple chapters, the time of clicks show that the reader spent 5-10 min on each chapter, everytime he went to a new chap he has clicked the ad...

I told your support, that i have no control over the readers actions...
Reply was "sorry i cannot help you in this matter."

I also said that, Other networks usually just ban suspicious IP's or they don't count those clicks... Calculate that users activities and deduct it from my payment then pay me....
Reply was "we also do not count that clicks but it should be to some extent not to do in a gross way which you did"

During the whole month, there was no warning regarding any type of fraud clicks for the ads on my site...

My complain was why did you guys wait till i reached paymet threshold?

Snapshot says this occured on 1st of November! I was banned after a week...
If there was such activity, then you guys should have informed me and i would have banned the IP from accessing my site... solving this issue in an instant...

Why wait till i requested for payout??

Doesnt this mean that, if someone who doesnt like my site or me, can just visit my site click on few of the ads multiple times and can get me banned and block my payments... ?

 

did they say it was because of this 1 visitor or maybe it was just an example?

 

Definitely yes. Your competitors can do that.
But don't worry, if you are really innocent in this matter, the ad networks will find out.

 

Since your ticket is still open, that means the case is being investigated.

 

What? Their last reply was "we also do not count that clicks but it should be to some extent not to do in a gross way which you did"
I dont even know how to continue with it anymore...

How? They are not even pursuing the matter anymore.. My Balance is 0$

Didn't specifically say it, but that was the only detail they gave me...

 

Just last week, i reiterated the danger in fraudulent clicks. Little did we know the case would come up.
As Light Novels World suspects, someone, maybe your competitor is trying to harm you.
It depends on your niche. Some niche have lots of competitors who can go an extra mile to discourage others from their business.

 

I would advise that you send then another mail so that they would take you seriously.
If the ticket is closed, they should as well open another.

 

keep sending them mails they will surely get your problems solved.

 

I believe that, but it's might take a while to be fixed...

This issue has just given birth to a new question, which is "HOW CAN FRAUDULENT CLICKS FROM THE VISITOR BE STOPPED ON ONES WEBSITE"?

Just imagine..i remembered some days back, we were intensively having a discussion closely related to fraudulent clicks in one other thread....This is seriously a wicked style that a competitor can easily use against the other party..

 

Exactly my point!

 

I understand you...Any new development on the mails you sent them?

 

I dont even know what to write to them anymore

 

It can be minimised and prevented to some extent but if it comes from another end, it can't be eradicated.

 

Got you bro.But all adnetworks need to improve on that aspect of the end user activities. We're in a tech age, i dont see it impossible. There should be a way to manage the visitors activities..

 

the networks already do that..almost all big networks are using advanced anti fraud detection and they do sort out clean vs fraud.

the days of just clicking competitors ads and get him banned are over..maybe still working for small networks

 

If you are not dubious, You don't need to bother yourself on such clicks from your competitors.
The adnetworks have a way of finding out such.
You always win.

 

Well what ever happened, it has got me banned and my payments rejected....
Im sure that its just one crazy novel reader who has done it... But i definitely dont deserve this!
