I'm fed up with Clicksor's malware/virus ads that keep redirecting my website users to other sites by force against their will! Clicksor refuses to fix this problem permanently, but instead expects me to report the these neverending hacking ads to them everyday, in essence asking me to work for them for free with no pay or credit!!!!!!!! This problem continues to repel my website visitors and compromise my site traffic! It can't continue! So I'm going to send them this ultimatum letter below. What do you think? Will it work? Will they listen to reason and allow us to cash out our remaining balance, since they cannot fix this serious problem, and thus the fault and failure is on their end?!
I totally agree with you. I am using Clicksor as well and the computer of my wife has been infected by a trojan downloaded from a Clicksor ad displayed on one of our blogs ! This caused a lot of mess here and off course a huge wasted time for me I let know imagine as well the impact of this incident to our visitors. There are other ad companies we are using who asked us to remove Clicksor or else we would be banned from their network. Guess what I did ? Regards Thibaut
Hey man. I'm going through the same exact issue with paypoup/clicksor network. I've reported it to Anita a few times and always provide IP, URL and exact time I got a trojan via their network. Could anyone here suggest another network. It would be sad to stop using these guys specially since they have good rates and make up about 50% of my earnings for this site.
I know. The thing is, they are the only alternative to adsense in that they use contextual ads. Besides adsense and clicksor I can't think of any others that use contextual PPC advertising. Yahoo Publisher Network does, but they do not accept most sites. I can't understand why Clicksor doesn't get it. It's like they know their ship is about to sink cause of this, yet they do nothing about it, period. Very odd. It's like they welcome suicide.
BTW, maybe you guys can send Clicksor the same ultimatum letter that I sent them (feel free to use mine if you like and just change your name). If enough of us send them such a letter getting serious about this problem, maybe they'll listen to reason finally?
Clicksor is awful. Low pay, and bad ads. They've said they fixed the problem too many times... Such a terrible network.
I removed their popunders and guess what, the number of visitors almost doubled.. Their ads are horrible..
Good news. I finally got a response from Clicksor regarding my long letter to them. Here it is: Anita: I hope they really do something about it. Dimitri, it's not just their popunders. I only use their banner and text link ads, and the hijacking ads still come through! It's really annoying and invasive.
This has been happening to my site too and has cost me a lot of traffic. I use redux ads, but I am not yet certain it's their ads; but the complaints here are almost identical.
I removed their ad code yesterday. I gave them too many changes to get rid of their bad ads, but they keep coming. Shame, because Clicksor could have been great advertisement network.
I removed Clicksor ads long ago but still using paypopup, it works fine. Try spot200.com , good ecpm rate for publisher.
Hi guys, Beside the fact that I totally agree with you, only one small comment. As a person that sent few complaints letter in his life, I truly think that a smaller letter would have done the same affect. I know that when you are sitting to write such a letter you are angry and want to write everything bad that happened to you but usually the person receiving this kind of letter will never read it fully if it is too long. For example, how many people here actually read the letter posted fully and deeply? or just skip between the paragraphs because it was too long? However, I do appreciate people doing something when they are bothered and not sitting quietly and suffer. Keep up the good work!
Finally, I get some constructive updates from clicksor regarding the virus problem in their ads. Leslie from Clicksor wrote me: My reply to Leslie: Leslie's next reply: My next reply to Leslie:
