    I joined primaryads.com late November and I did well with their AFF CPA offer ($3.75 per free register) so i decided to give it a full push in December.



    On Dec 27th I got the e-mail below:







    Then on Jan 3rd I got the email below:









    I had no problem with my November payout so I thought that every thing should be ok with my December payout, I just received my check today and I noticed that over 80% of my check was deducted.



    I Immediately contacted my PrimaryAds account manager via AIM and and here is what he stated:



    davidschomb (9:15:19 AM): hi

    mattprimaryads (9:15:25 AM): hey</I>

    davidschomb (9:15:36 AM): i just got my dec check

    davidschomb (9:15:53 AM): and it was 80% less than what i expected

    davidschomb (9:16:19 AM): i made over 5k in dec and yet i only got $1158

    davidschomb (9:16:55 AM): i checked my stats and it looks like you removed many of my aff leads

    mattprimaryads (9:18:39 AM): acct number?</I>

    davidschomb (9:18:50 AM): 3593

    davidschomb (9:21:46 AM): i had over 1500 leads and now i only see 301

    mattprimaryads (9:24:23 AM): what offers were you running?</I>

    mattprimaryads (9:24:26 AM): that you saw the drop?</I>

    davidschomb (9:24:31 AM): aff

    davidschomb (9:24:52 AM): the drop was only on that offer

    mattprimaryads (9:26:48 AM): oh I remember</I>

    mattprimaryads (9:26:54 AM): that was in regards to Adult Friend Finder</I>

    mattprimaryads (9:27:00 AM): remember the problems with that</I>

    mattprimaryads (9:27:14 AM): they wouldn't pay us on the traffic because of the framing the landing page</I>

    davidschomb (9:27:28 AM): yes you sent me a e-mail that you stopped working with them due to tracking problems

    davidschomb (9:29:24 AM): I was not informed that over 80% of my leads will get cleared

    mattprimaryads (9:30:29 AM): oh, it was everything</I>

    mattprimaryads (9:30:33 AM): or a lot of it</I>

    mattprimaryads (9:30:43 AM): they had basically no records of your leads</I>

    mattprimaryads (9:30:51 AM): because the framing messed everything up</I>

    mattprimaryads (9:31:01 AM): then we had to drop the offer</I>

    mattprimaryads (9:31:05 AM): because of these problems</I>

    mattprimaryads (9:31:12 AM): we didn't get paid from them </I>

    mattprimaryads (9:31:15 AM): on a lot of stuff</I>

    davidschomb (9:31:54 AM): I am in lose I made less than my ppc expence

    mattprimaryads (9:32:28 AM): oh so are we</I>

    mattprimaryads (9:32:34 AM): we took a major loss as well</I>

    davidschomb (9:33:51 AM): their is no way they will ever pay you?

    mattprimaryads (9:34:19 AM): we may get a collection agency after them</I>

    mattprimaryads (9:35:03 AM): I know bud, this was tough for us</I></I>

    davidschomb (9:35:11 AM): how much do they still need to pay you?

    mattprimaryads (9:35:16 AM): a lot</I>

    davidschomb (9:35:31 AM): they didn't pay for everyone?

    mattprimaryads (9:35:32 AM): not 6 figures</I>

    mattprimaryads (9:35:35 AM): but a lot</I>

    mattprimaryads (9:35:42 AM): once this problem creeped up</I>

    mattprimaryads (9:35:50 AM): it brought others</I>

    mattprimaryads (9:36:00 AM): and then no payment</I>

    mattprimaryads (9:36:09 AM): so big problems </I>

    mattprimaryads (9:36:25 AM): but the problem with your page was</I>

    mattprimaryads (9:36:35 AM): framing has to get approved</I>

    mattprimaryads (9:36:41 AM): and they said yours wasn't approved</I>

    davidschomb (9:37:09 AM): did other affiliates get paid less for that offer?

    mattprimaryads (9:39:13 AM): no one got paid</I>

    mattprimaryads (9:40:02 AM): I will be back shortly



    My account manager stated that everyone had payout problems with the aff offer, I want to know if members of this forum had a similar problem like me with PrimaryAds or am I the only one that got screwed?

    ds, I never had a problem like yours. I do you use PrimaryAds and they always pay on time with the exact amount that is owed to me. I just received a check from them.

    If I am doing something wrong, my Affiliate Manager always warns me ahead of time.

    Did you discuss the framing landing page with your AM before you started promoting certain offers?

    I didn't discuss the framing landing page issue with my account manager since I didn't know that it's a violation of their terms and conditions
