Interserver Affiliate Program - Is it a scam?

Discussion in 'Affiliate Programs' started by dumindushalika, Jun 11, 2013.

    As an affiliate I am promoting Interserver.net web hosting for few months. I sent them more than 15 sales so far. But before the affiliate commission get locked in CJ, they reverse the commission. I am surprised.
    I NEVER seen this kind of advertiser in CJ who reverse almost all the commissions before they get locked.
    If this is the case in CJ, I can't even imagine how they pay commissions for the people using their inhouse affiliate program.
    It seems their affiliate program is a scam.
    Has any one earned real money with Intersever affiliate program?

    Ohh.. Look at my commissions.. It's simply ZERO. All the commissions reversed.
    Let's think that they did this in honest mind. Then you can imagine how good their web hosting services are. lol

    Hi! I am Mike from InterServer.

    Sorry for the trouble you experienced with our affiliate system. I assure you the program is not a scam or we would not be on CJ. Also you can see by our EPC on CJ we currently rank number 9 out of 66 hosting partners. With a 3 month EPC of $50 and a 7 day EPC of $89. So clearly our affiliates are getting paid.

    I do have to mention that we have a higher turnover rate of commissions because of the 1 cent coupon. A lot of users simply sing up for fun to play with a VPS or a hosting package.

    Our support is also fantastic so I guarantee customers are not leaving because of service. You can search reviews about our service and I guarantee you will see a lot of positives.

    I have found your CJ account with us and looked up every single one of the 38 commissions you have sent us. All customers signed paid us $.01 for the first month. Then never paid a single 2nd month invoices. Sometimes the coupon is not recorded correctly to CJ so you are seeing the full priced sales on your report. As you know our lock period is 90 days. Even if 1 payment was made you would have earned the full $100. Serious hosting customers often pay for at least 1 year up front to benefit from the discounts offered. This was not the case here.

    I noticed that you are still linking to us but we are no longer featured on the site. I am willing to bet that if you stuck with us a bit longer you would have seen more positive than negative.

    If you have any questions or would like to speak further feel free to contact me by email mike (at) interserver.net, by skype with username mikelavrik, or phone 201-605-1440.


    Thanks,


    Mike

    I've never promoted interserver, but i'd say the best course of action is to just contact someone at the network and just ask

    Interserver is a BIG SCAM. I myself DID NOT GET ONE PENNY after 6 months of giving them business.
    And the owner Mike from InterServer should be sued.
    I was going to feed my family and children but Mike from InterServer is a big liar.
    When I emailed him he was a big liar. His email is

    But what exactly happened if you dont mind? If your referals refund, then you can't get paid. Never made a sale till now only hundreds of clicks.

    It is very very very simple. Interserver is not paying us. They DONT RECORD A SALE. YOU CAN GET 1000 CLICKS AND they will say that no one wants 5 dollars a month hosting.

    My clicks were targeted and zero sales. Remember. They advertise that they offer excellent hosting for 5 bucks a month.

    I checked today in my cj.com account and then the commission was reversed. It says "invalid Credit card". Will give them another shot and see for the second time.
