    They held an unhealthy monopoly in the industry for a while I think they started to abuse their market position. Lucky competition is around now and should turn the tables as the focus goes back into the affiliates and retaining them. CPALead was in a position for a while were you needed them more than they needed you because there was no where else you could go hence the monopoly they once had.

    I lost interest in CPAlead after the dishonest posts that Troy was involved in which was a huge integrity issue. Two good CPA networks with gateways I primarily use are LeadBolt and Adscend Media

    So, you got banned for promoting adult content then cry foul? You knew the risk you were taking when you started.

    Thanks for posting this, this will just show people we are serious about compliance when it comes to adult promotions. There are many ways to monetize adult, just don't use our system to do it.

    That was already discussed many times in first post/logs/ and posts later. Don't forget, people here can read. Go to first post or this post http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=2003768&page=3#post15335763

    I'm very glad that you love my post. People should know "who is who".

    Do not forget about other dozens of sites that really violate your TOS http://cpaleadscam.do.am/cpalead-sites.txt Or you do not notice.

    Seems a lot of people are having problems with cpalead, then it should come as no surprise, as they are one of the few networks, openly accepting incentivized traffic

    I totally agree with Amanda,
    I think that's the way this needs to be handled and then this topic can be closed.

    They can't do that CPALead have a party in Vegas that needs paying for. His $12,000 is being used to pay for chamillionaire to sing a song and smile while thinking to himself WTF does this company even do again? Unfortunatly Justin Bieber wasn't available.

    One thing that'd I'd like to address in regards to affiliates violating a network's TOS: When affiliates run fraudulent campaigns, it sometimes damages relationships with advertisers and effects the network as a whole - thus not being able to generate leads on particular offers with other, quality affiliates. That being said, there are some instances where a company may withhold an affiliates' commission and pocket the revenue in an effort to recover some of the money that would have been made in the future with that advertiser if the fraudulent affiliate didn't ruin the relationship in the first place.

    I'm not saying that was the case on this issue, but just be open minded about that scenario! If you owned a network and banked 50k/month from 1 advertiser consistently and an affiliate decided to run fraudulent traffic, which in the end burned your relationship with the advertiser, what decision would you make in regards to the explanation above?

    AGREED!

    I guess you need to take these sites/case to the advertisers directly. I've checked your list and most of them are violating their TOS but still active..something wrong here..

    $12000 scammed - xD

    You should have asked for payout each time you had like $100 and maybe they would not have scammed you
