    i working with Adsterra for more than one month:
    my manager said adsterra is also cpc (or ppc) but in this month i dont have any earning for clicks.
    you said adsterra is cpa but in this month i dont have any earning for cpa.
    you said adsterra is cpm but when this month i said manager disable redirect my earning and cpm = 0.
    so what is earning ways? i think its just redirect and popups!

    Yes this was my issue to with Adsterra pop-ups and redirect on their banners codes, i don't understand why they use this type of bad tricks ... this redirects google can ban your website but looks like they don't care about webmasters websites because if they care they will never add redirects or popups ... if a webmaster want banner then let just banner ... anyway, at least i got my money from they ... they pay but is not safe for my websites with this type of ads ... most of the webmasters work a lot and they don't plan to lose websites because some ads network they use bad codes like redirect codes on banners ( and they don't tell to webmasters about this )

    I'd like to point that our support team didn't receive any tickets from you, therefore we made the conclusion that you had no issues.
    Regarding Skype connections: your manager was there for you every time you had a question, non of your objections were ignored by your AM.
    All of your conversations via Skype have already been checked. if there is a need we can publish the screenshots here proving that you got the high-quality support from your manager.[/QUOTE]

    Yes i can Show Screenshot Too and About Ticket why I Should Apply any Ticket when YOUR AM Told me That Banner are CPM and Later She Chaned two Time That NO They CPA and in One Second later she Said Yes Its was CPM She is So Confused that She Got my 12k Impression and i Got Nothing and God Sake Cant You the Time Difference when she replied Go and Check Again and I am Pretty Sure That..That AM is Replying here to Me LOL

    Yes, first, they don't count impressions, that the site was embebbed in a iframe. So our counted impressions went down by 50%.

    Then if we stopped sending traffic to them, they want depersately our traffic back, no matter what, and yet still paying very low ecpm, like 0.3$ or lower.

    I do not really recommend the ad network, because it shows a lot of porn ads and sometimes malware ads too.

    Unfortunately, we tried adsterra today with high hopes having seen what are obviously salted web reviews.

    Not waiting to see about payment, the first thing they did is show garbage ads, lockup screens, trying to fake you have viruses, etc. Yes, porn sites too.

    The only thing these guys can do right is destroy your website and scare any useful business from ever visiting you again.

    BTW, anyone here find a good Ad Network that pays straight CPM impressions?

    Hello! You're saying that you've tried Adsterra just today. Are you sure that were our ads?
    Summing up, something went wrong and for some reasons you got disappointed with the service - have you created a support ticket to inform the team?
    Please provide me with your login and email via PM so we can investigate the matter.

    Aloha,

    Tried this week... Even retried when an agent asked us too. Based on the retest, your ADS suck: Said no adult content, got that anyway... JUNK ADS and Browser Takeover, FALSE warnings of virus, no way to get out trying to force you to hit ok which is likely permission to download dangerous stuff.

    They even tried to fake a Goggle warning message with illegal use of the Google Logo. maybe I should let Google know too hmm.

    Soon as I tried a smartphone and tablet I was PISSED.

    Dam thing jumps the box takes over the phone/Tablet and no matter the setting it takes over the website forces my visitors away from the site forever.

    Gave you the benefit of a support message and a retry. Not going to risk my websites again.

    Instead sharing with others to keep them from hurting their websites... with the wrong ad networks.

    Did I got you right: you've created a support ticket and discussed the matter with the team and received the feedback that issue was fixed?

    Could you please send me your login so we can check the quality of the support feedback and see what exactly happened with ads on your site.

    Aloha,

    First, I am absolutely not impressed with the quality of advertisements, and other related issues from your network.

    Second, I have given you a retry already and got more pissed at the tricks and garbage.

    Third, I try very hard to be a fair man.

    So, here we go... because on the flip side, both you and the customer support people demonstrate extremely cool heads, and an apparent sincere desire to make publishers happy. I propose that we the PUBLISHERS have the answers you need to be the biggest success in the business.

    That said, I propose that you accept the challenge to a PUBLIC trial of your network. I will propose the rules, the topics, then ask the other PUBLISHERS here to suggest rules and topics. I will even setup a test website (you will not know the domain to start) so that we can make it easy for you to see and track the garbage being sent.

    The outcome of the trial, which will be fair... is that you will prove that your are the best, earning the trust of every PUBLISHER; or in the case of failing, you may as well pack your bags and go home.

    A side benefit, we the PUBLISHERS will show you exactly HOW TO EARN OUR TRUST, and we will all shout your name from the roof tops.

    So we are CLEAR, I want you to WIN, because I want quality business partners... it's simple really:

    A + W + T = Income

    A - A Great Ad network
    W - A Well constructed website
    T - Quality Traffic

    This is NOT rocket science, this is the workings of a professional partnership, a JV or strategic alliance. In all cases, a two way street making everyone in the game rich. Nothing more, nothing less...

    Do you accept the challenge....?

    Aloha Xuyzk,

    Mahalo for the update... So aside from the low RPM you like Adsterra. I want to like all of them, but for me it starts with safe ads being served and no attempts to trick my visitors or cause them to avoid my websites. Then, I want to see accurate tracking and reliable payment.

    I see the link in your post goes to adswikia, and interesting site I will investigate further.

    Have an awesome day.

    Aloha J

    Pardon, I still can't see an answer to my question. Still no info about your account/login in my inbox. I cannot understand what exactly is your case before I can see your account and talk to the support team who were working with you.
    I got your point of view, it's not a trick trying to lure you back. The main reason is that we need to fix the issue from the inside and if you really want to help why don't you cooperate on such small thing that proper feedback as providing login?
