THUMBS DOWN for MaxBounty

Discussion in 'Affiliate Programs' started by Aust, May 8, 2008.

    I opened a deal for people with account on cpastorm and some smartS from maxbounty tried to make me look bad in that deal, so people won't trust me for that deal.
    Because of that, ima tell you something, not because im mad (coz i really ain't) but because he messed with my business, so ima tell some true about his business!

    I and a bunch of people seriously believe its the same person that's behind MaxBounty as the person who was behind LeadCrunch.
    Max Bounty have the very same bad design as LeadCrunch and insite the back-end affiliate system is the same so be warned.

    Just checkout the screenshot from LeadCrunch linking directly to MaxBounty and have been doing so for several years now.

    and so you know, LeadCrunch for me was a BIG scam, i had sent over 3000 target clicks to free offers and none made 1 signup? nothing is impossible but i went to my friends houe and signed up from there.. after 2 weeks i still had ZERO ($0.00) on my account =}

    If you use the Max Bounty program I recommend you send your traffic somewhere else.

    please give your opinion about them

    does not happen - i make about 750-1000 from maxbounty, customers filling out surveys etc and I always get paid. If you could see a problem did you not contact them in the first week to voice your concerns. If i KNEW straightaway after a "friend" completed a form and maxbounty did not pick it up, i would have just gone somewhere else.

    Lastly - i take it the banner set up was okay and that the target group the advert was directed at was U.S. only or canada only etc.

    MaxBounty scammed me over, and I am legit as well. It's just a risk of the industry to be quite honest.

    yeah its a risk.. but with them the risk is 1000% higher than others
    just 1 or 2 bad signups and bye bye, i found a thread on other forum with a lot people that got banned for no reason.

    spoke to them? they didn't replied to my emails
    and im not interested in run campaigns with them, there's a bunch of affiliates out there

    Your post in this thread:
    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=831154&highlight=maxbounty

    makes it quite clear that you are willing to create fake leads for affiliates of the CPAStorm network. You claim it's because you want quick payment, but in reality, you really just want to get paid for creating these fake leads without taking any risk of being banned from the CPAStorm network. Instead, you'd rather let other publishers take that risk.

    You are a fraudulent affiliate. You create fake leads because you are unwilling or unable to do the real work that is required to make honest money. Of course you get banned from networks. Does this really surprise you? Do you really think networks want your fake leads? Spare me.

    The same thing applies to many of the people in the Freebies forum who are looking to pay people $5 to signup for their offers using fake data. It also applies to people posting their links on AffiliateTrades, Dumbledoo or any other of these types of sites. Creating fake leads is fraud and will lead to account termination.

    People who come crying to boards that they've been banned from a network were banned because they committed fraud, plain and simple. The thought that a network would ban an honest affiliate is ludicrous. A network would never throw away a long-term stream of revenue simply to gain a few short-term bucks by not paying for a few leads. Anyone who actually believes different should consider looking into basic business economics.

    So Aust, still think you're the honest one here? Post your old MaxBounty affiliate ID and I'll explain the exact reason you were removed from the network.

    For any honest affiliate, feel free to contact me with any questions you may have about this thread or MaxBounty in general.

    Flaco = MaxBounty affiliate ID 22629

    Removed from the network in January 2008 for paying people to complete offers with fake data, including on campaigns that do not allow incentive traffic. Made these offers through DP threads and PM's similar to these:
    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=828477
    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=814410
    etc.

    Anyone else?

    HAHA good going Steve! It is affiliates like these are clogging up the industry with nonsense and make good affiliates and good networks suffer. All these fraudsters spam up the forms with their barely legible blabbering about how they can’t produce quality leads and then can’t figure out why they are not getting paid. YOU CAN’T FIGURE IT OUT BY NOW?!?!?

    I am not just talking exclusively about fraudster Aust; but all the fraudsters out there. If you can’t figure out how to produce quality leads (or just wont), step aside and figure out something else to do.

    I just want to add that Max Bounty is one the best networks in the industry - period. I have not ever had a problem with them, nor my affiliate manager (Adam D - great guy). They've always got good campaigns running with solid rates.

    I would recommend them to ANY ONE. They are the real deal for affiliates. Best thing too, they don't use DT! It's all custom.
