THese days when I access AuctionAds I'm just thrown into an endless loop of login screens, the blog link doesn't work and it doesn't look like the money has been updated in days. This is extremely unprofessional, I'm just counting down the days until my CJ site is ready to go. I know, I know, most of you are probably thinking, "you're actually still using those bums"!
Some people are supposedly making money from them... This morning I was getting the looping login issue as well. And the blog as been FUBAR for days. I emailed them about it, but I guess they don't care, and I guess it really does not matter...they have not updated it since september anyway, so *shrug* They did have a little note up for a little while on the 'my account' page that was blaming CJ for their problems, and they emailed someone recently that was not getting paid to blame paypal. I think if you are using them, you are either getting scammed or you are not reaching your full revenue potential....even if you have it stuck down in some random corner of your site or are earning money. If the place is broken and their ads go down, then you are losing out. That said, I guess I'm losing out, as I still have it on a few stray pages of my own. Though, I like them will blame someone else...in this case, I blame MediaWhiz
I also have a few stray pages I kept AA on, mostly to see if they ever got their act together. But as bad as it was before it is even worse now, isn't it? With the ongoing broken/bogus stats reporting and now their website broken much of the time. I have a small account balance, below their payout after they jacked that up, and I was hoping I would get a sale or two so I could get paid and then take the remaining ads off my sites. But AA is clearly a complete waste of space so I guess it's time to wipe out the remaining ad spots and replace with a real affiliate program.
The best part is on the account page where it says, "AuctionAds, getting better one day at a time". YEAH RIGHT!
And no earnings for over four days. I run CJ also and they are showing revenue for ebay so it's definitly an AuctionAds issue. Of course they would never keep us informed would they? I mean their blog's last entry was back in September, is that really a blog?
Email from AuctionAds: And a few days ago, eBay sent this out: http://www.joeychgo.com/2007/cj-ebay-auctionads-reporting-issues-to-continue-through-end-of-year
Well, this is good to hear....I think. Wouldn't you think AA would keep their affiliates up to date on issues they are having? By not keeping their affiliates up to date the affiliates can only think there is a problem and therefore are dropping AA. Don't you think this is just good business practice????
my stats updated but, since yesterday i haven't been able to view the account page. i wish they setup a forum or at least use their blog, the last entry is from September.
AA has gone seriously downhill. When I first put it on my site, I was on a good $25 a week, which was still very low, but not bas just as an extra revenue source. However, I kept it on a couple of random pages as people said above. Just checked now, and from 44 clicks, and 3 signups, I have earnt a whole $0.09. Waste of dam time if you ask me.
Your post implies they are showing impressions again. I better have a looksee. Maybe I'll re-add them to my forums
