    i notice sometimes there is large holes in my stats where it looks like ascend goes down for hours at a time, also they been known to go down for days at a time too, and they dont even send out an email or anything about it, they have been plagued with downtime issues for a long time, i dont trust them even if they supposedly make a little bit more an hour lost on my site means im actually losing more money with ascend

    Interesting. You post this same thing quite often - seems like you have an agenda. Just saying ;)

    You're right - we did go down in April quite a bit - under a massive DDoS attack. Jeremy has already cleared this issue up with you on May 23rd, 2010 in a DigitalPoint post as well. The bulk of your post primarily bash Adscend shortly after the DDoS attacks - interesting.

    Thanks for the comments everyone! Would love to see some more comparisons.

    no agenda here you sound paranoid like cpa lead does when someone brings up dirt, not everyone has a secret agenda or out to get you, i just lost thousands of dollars along with some of my friends too, so yes im going to tell people about it so the same doesnt happen to them, and yes weve all heard that excuse trying to cover up incompetence administrators

    If your US epc was 9 cents then I imagine your traffic is either very low quality or you're doing something wrong in the way you set up your gateway. Had you tried reaching out to us to see if we could make any recommendations? Also since you did post in the thread we had 7 or 8 months ago I know it's been quite a while since you tried us (although 9 cents would have been very very abnormally low even on day 1).

    That said, with anything there will be variation. I know of 3 or 4 people who have said CPALead has performed better, so it does happen. And if they perform better for you then you should obviously stick with them. On the flip side I know numerous people who earn 50% more with us, or two to three times as much with us. Find what works best for you and go with it, but our experience has been that 95% of people will earn more with Adscend.

    Let's let more people post actual data and anyone reading can judge for themselves.


    Just as a heads-up to everyone - we do not allow tv or movie sites at all.

    That's really not the question here, if you honestly think some of us aren't hitting larger numbers without using TV/Movies then please do your research.

    I've got some more figures, posting them up later today.

    Yea I noticed this too a long time ago but hasn't been an issue. It's kind of odd to me that someone would attack them so consistently and so heavily as to take them down.
    I've had accounts with both and kind of hop back and forth but pretty much the minute adscend went down I got contacted by CPA
    I'm new on THESE forums but lol I have no problem being straight up.

    Down time is BAD for business but its pretty obvious that CPA lead have the greatest motive to DDoS Adscend and thus I see that as an attack on any users who got the downtime too.
    LOL @ suggesting anyone else would slam them that hard. I've chatted with Fehz, Jermy and everyone else @ Adscend, the attacks they get are big.

    Anyhow, at the end of the day thats not so much my problem, I mean it is a piss off and I prefer the more honest company since id rather not burn when the big unethical fire hits but
    I dont want any downtime.

    CPA was g ood for that and have always been but Adscend hasn't had any issues of downtime lately and bottom line is in a 30 day rolling period I've made exactly 31.3% more money using Adscend.
    Now they aren't going down anymore but lets say they did. That means they'd have to go down for about 9 days for CPA Lead to catch up LMAO.

    I dont know about anyone else but im not THAT lazy, lol if my business is down or offline for a day, I could just switch over then switch back when time is right and STILL hammer my earnings if I was CPA only. & Adscend has never been down that long.

    Bottom line, even they suddenly had more downtime than they have EVER had (well ever for me means the last 6 months since I dont know what they did or didn't do before that - don't really care at this point)
    I STILL make more with Adscend.

    Healthy competition, I hope they both find ways to double earnings for their publishers ;)
    I'm sure CPA Lead is hard at work trying to find good honest ways to help us. Screw fighting each other or DDoS'ing the comp or flaming on boards - just help us make more money and the business is your's!!!!!!!!!!

    PS Anyone have any good recommendations for an auto insurance company lol ;) seriously...I should copy the last part and put it on their forums, just give us lower rates and the business is yours!
