    My account is still active with CPALead, however I have not used it for a long time. I used to be a pretty big publisher with them, this may be a case of CPALead favoring larger publishers.

    I have kindof given up. I was banned from cpalead. i sent series of PMs to TROY explaining why i shouldn't be banned.
    But he doesn't seems to be convinced.

    Firstly TROY gave me the reason that TV show dint appear behind the gateway and thats against TOS.
    I explained that that was because my inactivity on that site. Since i stopped doing TV sites 3 months ago and those widgets wouldn't have fetched even $15 since 3 months.

    Nextly TROY said that i promoted ProfileSpy app, which doest exists and its Fake.
    I explained him that i never promoted ProfileSpy. I promoted Profile Counter Application and YES it works. I provided with the LINK of the APP i promoted along with other LINKS on how i did the promotion.

    I really dont know what else should i do to prove that i am a legit publisher. I am really pissed.

    I got banned because of a 404 Error on my website

    Last Friday I was working on my webserver and rearranging the structure of my sites.
    For several hours I had my pages offline and during this time my account happened to be under review. My aff manager considered there was "missing content" behind gateway and did not want to understand what I had explained to him. He had a log with my links that were showing 404.

    While my sites were offline there were obviously no surveys served thus no gateway!! so there was no reason to ban me for this. He banned me completely while I was talking to him on AIM.

    I have written to but I have no hope of getting an answer after what I have read here... so many people treated like this.

    I feel sorry for the time I invested in this network.

    I'm glad i didnt sign up with this company, they sound like total jerks.
    I'm currently waiting to be approved by PeerFly and NeverBlue.
    Does anyone know if they are any good? Because this is the first time i try CPA.
    And i don't want to get in to something similar that happend to people on CPALead.com.

    Okay, so if you never promoted a Profile Spy, then how come you sent traffic from: infosnipper.com/fbprofile/fbprofilespy.html

    So you're saying it didn't go to a profile spy after someone completed a survey, that is still just as bad if you're telling them they're going to get a profile spy program and all they get is a counter. Why are you trying to pass yourself off as a publisher who played by the rules? That is the reason why I am not willing to work with you, because you are lying to us. How can we trust an affiliate in our network when they can't even tell the truth after they have been caught red handed?

    That's a good story, but it's not likely. If your content is missing and your Widget is still up, how can you say that your server was down at that specific time and that's why your content was missing?

    "Red Handed"?? Please dont get annoyed TROY. Dont you think that your answer do not have any veracity in it. Comeon, you have got all my LOGS and i even explaned you in my PMs.

    Does the Link you mentioned proves that i used ProfileSpy. I always promoted Profile Counter and even brought Traffic to it accordingly, regardless to the Link nomenclature. I have even PMed you the Links about how i promoted the stuff. Why dont you mention that here on thread. If you have seen all the Logs of mine, you must have checked that i changed the name of the Link to something else long before i got banned. Literally earned more than $500 through that link.

    It appears to me that, u ppl just need any reason to rip the publishers money(i seriously dint think that till now). I contacted AMs of 3 big networks and asked them to check my content, and all of them said it to be clean and good to go.

    Happy Thanks Ripping :(

    In the affiliate marketing game, there's full of fraudulent activities, in my view, the % of it can reach up to 80, but it's not the fault of fraudulent pubs, it's becasue those stupid networks they just set up themselves for this game, in which fraudulent activities are expected( inevitable), so players(advertisers-networks-pubs) in this game know everything. They have the same goal - that's to make money, there's no absolute definition of fraudulent activities, it's all asserted by networks(AMs) on its sole discretion, pubs are on the disadvantageous side. When AMs see pubs is making money, affilaite managers are able to hold their money back for just one even stupid reason: you are suspicious of sending fraudulent traffic, and then they ban/deactivate your account and then all money confiscated without any convincing explanation, actually money then all sent to the account of their own. those AMs are as contemptible as thieves, and robbers, maybe even worse. They are arrogant, stupid, shameful, and stinking, they are just crap. bull--shit.

    I got banned too. Two emails. No response.

    I guess it's time to try reapplying; although I was hoping for clarification so I wouldn't repeat the mistake >.<'

    Well, I was banned due to violation of TOS. I reapplied and my application was rejected. I sent email pertaining to clarification but got no response. Today I again reapplied explaining my website description in detail.

    I've all but given up on hearing back. I loved CPALead but of course, I had no way of knowing what they were like in these situations. I can't believe they go a week and two emails without reply, especially when the urgency was (more than) adequately expressed.

    Hey Troy,

    I need you help because there was no replay from appeals and after brief conversation with Robin he replayed : Please contact for further help with this issue , BUT there is no answer from appeals.
    As a understand Robin, the termination of my account was because of farmville or something regarding...

    My appeal to you is just to reactivate my account (I am not complaining for the money that was deducted from my account) because I have big plans for cpalead which has been really great for me, and now I'm preparing new site witch I want to monetize with CPALead, and I truly hope that I will be able to continue to work with cpalead.

    And If necessary, I'll report to you or Robin with everything and I'll run my sites under your supervision.

    my id : ID #58606

    Thanks

    Yea you are right. They got publisher's money and they are not even repaying back this money to the advertisers(which they actually claim to do in their so called "Appeals" email). All money stays with em.
    Guys, i thought that there is corruption,Back stabbing only in my part of world, but actually its everywhere.

    Exactly. And when they don't get paid for their fraudulent traffic, they turn mad in here. I am just ignoring it now.

    If your account was banned and you feel like it was for the wrong reason, please PM me as I am willing to review your account. But if you don't want to accept this offer because you know what you did, and you just want to continue bashing us here, that's fine too.
