    I have to say i did give CPALeads a try on one of my sites the biggest initial problem was trying to get some help in setting up a campaign any way after nearly a month of waiting for the help someone of this forum helped me the account started earning some revenue then as a result of having a small glitch on the site that the advert was set up on i had to take it down and then i find that the account has been closed due to lack of use.
    I have to admit of all the revenue companies that i use or have used this has been the least helpful regarding customer support etc and has not been the most successful experiance going.

    It would have been nice to say send out a email warning publishers that the account may be under the thread of closer due to lack of use say maybe 2 weeks before the axe falls that in my mind is not really good infact i would say its terrible,if after that 2 week time duration you still have not implemented your adverts then i would say thats fair enough and then close the accounts.

    Anyway enough said

Troy i am working with your company for over 2 years now , i don't understand why you are doing that to your publishers.

    Contact our security. I can assure you that if our security were banning publishers for the wrong reasons, they would be fired. If your account is frozen, that means they are reviewing it and there is reason for suspicion. I have been double checking the accounts they have been freezing/banning and it's all in good reason.

    Not sure if you read the post I removed, but if the issue with my brother is not resolved I will repost it. He had the exact same thing happen to him for no reason. He was an active publisher making about $100 a day until they banned his account the other day.

    Troy, can you please explain why people like SilentNinja, RPGApps and the other big earners are using fake "1 Million Poker Chips" applications to make money and you are turning a blind eye to it? Is this because they are making your company so much money? I'm a big earner myself and have been forced to move because of the problems within your company at the moment.

    I also seen the email Jeremy sent to Jordan UK saying you unlocked hidden mobile offers that pay more. Jeremy also told him not to shout his earnings so he does not attract attention. Jordan UK is also doing similar BlackHat activities within your network. Again you let it slide and offer him higher paying surveys over the legit people that work hard for $100 a day. Is that not ironic?

    I have seen SilentNinja's and RPGApps personal accounts and they are all doing fake Zynga apps promising people fake rewards in return for completing a free survey. Yet you let this slide and have done for a long time even when you've been informed about it in the past.

    We're cleaning up a lot of fake content. If your account was frozen, that means our security has questions for you.

    I agree. There DEFINATELY should be an initial warning given if they are going to be dropping accounts just because they haven't been active in only 30 days. A lot of people, especially in North America in the summer, are on vacation or not as active during the "summer slowdown" and this just reeks of being unfair.

    Over half of my referrals were lost due to this new policy. Some, yes, were definately inactive and it was clear they weren't doing anything, so that's fine, but there were at least 3 or 4 that were still trying and just because they didnt log in constantly doesnt mean they weren't still promoting sites with the widgets on it. One of my best friends who lives near me had her account lost and was very disappointed because she had just bought the cparewards plugin to use on her blog to try something new and now that's all gone to shit and money lost. Plus, she logs in every week, so it hadnt even been 30 days yet!

    Cpalead needs to be aware that there ARE sincere people trying to make good with this and they deserve a fair chance. But it looks like they are now only giving response to people earning huge money with them and ignoring everyone else. However, all those small accounts earning a bit here and there DO add up. Remember that.

    EVERYONE who was dropped for being more than 30 days inactive, will be paid all of their money. They can also reapply. Not sure what the big deal is. This was a step we had to take to clean up the fraud on our network.

    I applied for an account on CPAlead.com two days back.
    Haven't got any response yet. My site: http://911tech.co.cc is this fine for CPA???
    Why I haven't got a single email from CPAlead or some affiliate manager?

    What does not logging into Cpalead.com for 30 days have to do with fraud? Why cant someone go on vacation for a month without worrying about their entire account being lost? Its not about the money...how is this a fraud issue?

    That Email you mentioned that Jeremy sent Jordan, was a payout bump for being a high earner on our network, not because of his content which we were not aware of at that time. Thanks for the tips on the other accounts. As I said, a lot of fake content to clean up and we're making a lot of in-routes through people reporting each other.

    Well it's good that you are making changes.

    I will warn you Troy, I am good friends with Facebook's lead developer Matt Kelly. We had a nice discussion yesterday evening and I made it aware to him about all the loopholes in Facebook, including:

    - Forced like on Facebook pages
    - Forced like/share on external pages
    - A bug that allows you to insert iFrames with FBML (this is how your big earners are putting iFrames on fake FB apps)
    - Clickjacking on external and facebook pages

    There are more that I cannot mention because people are not aware of them. But the above are against Facebooks ToS and if people are making money going against Facebook you should expect to get in trouble when Facebook actually put up a case against you. They cannot catch your publishers, but if you're allowing this to happen, especially with the fake Zynga apps, they will chase CPALead.

    Matt Kelly is also aware of the fact you are allowing Blackhat Facebook scripts to be sold in your Marketplace and has assured me something will be done to stop this and thanked me highly for bringing the issues to his attention.

    It's in your best interest to sort out your publishers and your marketplace advertisements. Eventually someone is going to get busted for the BH activity and it would not surprise me if it was CPALead.

    I suggest you look deep into your big earners. It's highly unlucky someone is making $11,000 a day from a legit movie site, and if there were they'd have the brains to know how to monetize their traffic and would probably be doing something more lucrative than surveys. I've seen people do $25k a day, something that just isn't possible from a legit website unless you have 100k hits a day, in which case you wouldn't want to risk the value of your visitors and value of your site to make a bit of money.

    I'm glad you brought this up. We already steps ahead of you when it comes to working directly with Facebook and Zynga to clean up this industry, but thank you for your concern. We are working together for a common goal. Anyone else you find with fake content, please PM me.

    why does the U.S. have the lowest pay rates when its suppose to be the biggest market? I understand they have higher conversion rates, but I could get one lead from another country that will equal to about 10 leads with the U.S. My top clicks/leads are the $0.38 ones

    Well you can't be any steps infront of me if you are not screening your big publishers and allowing them to use fake Zynga applications promising their users fake rewards.

    If you're working directly with Zynga, then Zynga and Facebook would alert you right away as soon as one of these applications are spotted. They would simply view the source code of the widget and report the publisher ID. In which case you'd ban the account and these big earners would not exist.

    Do you want me to actually show you one of these applications? Actually I can show you handful?
