    I'm running a website called www.vientay.com/f/ . We're using three (3) tracking logs for the site
    Our forum has over 900,000 posts and 200,000 threads.

    After running Adbrite for 3months and earn little as around $400. Our clicking ratio is only 0.01% after millions of impressions. We were only making around $6-$14/ day from hundred thousand of banner CPM impression. ( we don't make money from clicks since we have huge traffics from US visitors)

    Yesterday, we noticed all the banners were inactive and the site was banned. We emailed Adbrite for help and what we received is an outrage unprofessional, pure of evil in mind.

    How in the earth that they would able to came up with an untruth , pure of evil lie statement like this.

    Our click ration is like 0.01%. not even 0.1% click ration. They banned my login and I can't get in to look for the stats. Lucky me, I did checked my account this morning and those numbers still in my mind. I don't even know my total earning b/c they already banned my login.



    multiple violations?? since when our site violated the first violation?
    sites with little or no original site content Do they actuall check my site or just copy and paste tactic ?
    invalid clicks or impressions Check the stats, our click ration is 0.01%, We have 3 tracking logs can be view


    This is an big disappointed and bad experiences with Adbrite. Our site brought million and millions impressions for Adbrite and this is what we got from them. A *copy and paste* email tactic and stole all our earning.

    We assume we no need. The stats was for the phim but evenly we used that stats for the vientay website since we don't want to resign up for those tracking account again.

    We pasted the same tracking code near the bottom. ( we only used the code on SINGLE vientay site)

    We created the new ads and they did approved it before it went online.

    They have no right to take our earning even they want to banned us for whatever reason they came up.

    It is our earning for 3 months.

    If we generated too many impressions compare with the click's ratio. Are we automatically flagged and banned by Adbrite system?

    I advertise with both Adbrite and adwords - I am glad that adbrite and adsense ban cheating websites. I do not want to waste my money on sites that scam.

    I hope you got your facts really really correct here as calling adbrite a scammer is the public forum is opening both yourself and digitalpoint up to legal action from Adbrite.

    Almost everyone I have seen complain about being banned from adbrite, adsense and others, once they reveal all the information, the ban was justifiable, so I never trust it when people plead innocence.

    Well the issue is clear. They thought your site has been hacked or else as the name got changed suddenly and to protect themselves they banned you. Better you contact them with all the details and try to solve it. well complaining here wont solve your trouble coz lotta ones gettin checks from em promptly ;)

    They are not scamming anyone ... you've probably broken the rules or something ... I've received payments from them of over 600$ at once...

    if you'r saying we are cheating or may be we are one of the cheater out there. We're only running ads with earning base on the impression banner and making around only average $6/day with hundred thousands of impression + with 0.01% of the click ration

    Please tone your speech down a bit.

    We already knew the consequences that if we exposed their bad practices on the net and probably it will catch their attentions and they need to trim down some of their bad, abuse, lazy employee who love to do the *cut and paste*.

    Well the problem with Adbrite and Adsense is that you need them more than they need you. With affiliate sales it's the other way around. So it's fairly easy to get banned from these programs. Having said that there does need to be a reason. They don't just ban you for no reason.

    I suggest searching around and joining up with a network that has nothing but good reviews. Also, reconsider what offers you advertise

    I think that is what Adbrite tactic is....Hold publisher payment for 90 days and when it is payment time...You get the sack....Get united with other Publishers who might have ran into same problems and get the money for your hard work...If you can prove your case, you might win it too...All it takes is Unity...Do you think it is Adbrite only doing this to publishers?? Think twice..Good Luck...

    I'd use adsense if I were you.

    Adbrite not only has been overly tested and has the lowest CPM but the displayed ads are highly un-targeted that why you get a very low CTR.

    I can't imagine a company that large ripping you off... not saying that they didn't, I just find it unlikely.

    I have never been banned from adbrite or any other network other than adnonsence years ago.
    Even received a check from adbrite once

    Just go to Technorati Media and you will make okay money with them!
