Adonly = Scam ?

    If you use or will use this ad network, first read this post.

    Over a year ago, I registered in Adonly to try this network. I added 2 websites: one was rejected, the other was accepted by Adonly, so I put a banner in my site.

    After test it some weeks, everything was right so I made a review about Adonly and published it on one of my monetize websites to get referrals.

    One year later, using the same code on the same website (without any change) and when I have a lot of referrals, my account is suddenly locked.

    As I said, I manage monetize websites where I make reviews about the networks I think are the bests, which that means 2 things: I know and use a lot of ad networks and NEVER make any cheat or break any rule of these networks.

    So, there are here 2 odds:

    - That´s a mistake of Adonly. It can happens. I know many publishers try to cheat, make fraud etc... But it´s not my case. I´ve sent a message to adonly support about it last week but haven`t reply yet... so we have the second possibility...

    - Adonly.com is Scam. In this year working with them I have recevied 3-4 payments but "suspiciously", this account locked has happened when I have a big amount of referrals. In fact, 90% of my earnings in Adonly comes from my referrals. It will be stupid by my side make any fraud for a few dollars when I get it easy from referrals.

    I haven´t any intention of discrediting this company, only want to solve this issue in the best way. But of course I know that I didn´t break any rule or did something wrong to be banned and I will not accept it.

    So, the question remains opens until I get a solution from Adonly. I will updating all info about this issue.

    Adonly Current Status : SCAM (Confirmed)

    Let's wait for an answer from Adonly. How much money you had in your account?

    Not sure, but It does not matter. The point is that my account is currently locked unfairly after I have wasted my time using this network and getting referrals. If I have a solution and recover my account, it´s ok, I will update the info and can trust on adonly hoping for never happens again. If not...

    Today, there is Error 500 on login and signup pages.
    I don't know what is happening with this network.
    Nobody paid this month, no answers from the support, but ads are still there.

    so sad that some people want to take advantage of others hard work. it is also wise that you took an action of exposing them, otherwise they would not have replied to your queries. My wish is that all cash that has been withheld wrongly to be refunded to every citizen. Please update us if your issues are sorted. thanks

    Now pay this one. It was sent earlier then above. On 9th of November!
    I'm waiting for $1065 because you didn't pay on 10th, didn't pay on 20th, didn't respond on 5 skype messages, 3 emails and ticket support question.
    I was unable to withdraw current price until you pay pending amount and you didn't transfer it to pending balance on (before) each missed payment date.
    You have to pay exactly on payment date you specify or at least inform publishers about any delays!
    I was even tried to help you if you're in trouble (read Skype), but you didn't respond.

    Still waiting reply... Could you tell me something about this issue? I think 2 weeks without any reply or solution from Adonly is enough.

    If I where you I would stay out of this network. There are only few reason not to pay:
    either Adonly will be shutted down soon;
    either Adonly do not have enough money and they wait for payout from advertisers;
    just human factor.
    In any case your risk on continue working with them is expanding.

    Maybe, but I didn´t break any rule or made any cheat, so, until I get a reply from Adonly and recover my account I will updating this post.

    Next step: Posting same post on other monetize sites and forums. And believe me, I know a lot of them.

    Well, over 2 weeks later, there is no reply from Adonly about the Issue. Anyway, no reply is also a reply. Now the question is solved.
    Is Adonly a SCAM Network?

    Yes, it´s. Adonly is SCAM.

    Ban users without reason, don´t reply e-mails and don´t pay. Maybe they pay some users, but others not, typical behavior of SCAM Networks. I didn´t break any rule or made any cheat and they ban me when I got many referrals. Maybe they think are bigger or better than other networks like Adsense, which can ban users without consequences...

    My advice about Adonly is easy, withdraw payments asap and stay away from them. There a lot of good networks better than Adonly, use them. If it has happened to me, it can happens to anyone.

    When every hope was lost with this network... They finally reply my about the account locked.

    My account has been restored and fully paid pending earnings.

    Can´t edit the thread or the post (don´t know why) but at least can update the post with this info.

    Over 2 weeks to reply a ticket issue when ít´s not your fault is a long time, however, it´s fair to say that Adonly finally solved it.

    I had heard some bad reviews about this network when it was started, so, i discarded the idea of promoting it on my website. But, it seems like they are paying, though with some issues with publishers.
