I just got an email from these guys saying they had suspended me after an audit. No specific explanation given. I use them to put popunders on my web proxy page so I have no clue how I could be committing fraud here. I can understand with CLICKS you can commit fraud but this does not make much sense to me. Maybe some particular IP address was using the proxy a lot?
invalid impressions maybe though proxy users stay on sites for hours and my proxy generates more than 50,000 impressions. But usually paypopup don't fill hundread percent. So far I have no issue with them and I am using it for a year.
From their website: http://www.paypopup.com/publishers_faq.php Sounds like it could have been A, D, and / or F.
"According to our audit, we believe that you are producing commit fraudulent activities". That is the exact grammatically incorrect wording of the specific reason in the email. The only thing I can think of is a massive flood of Indian or Brazillian IPs over the weekend when I unblocked those IP ranges due to low US traffic...and most of the Indian traffic comes from a few IPs that appear to be school or work related gateways for campuses or offices. Well lets see if they respond to my email.
it would be "According to our audit, we believe that you are producing/commit fraudulent activities". what script you use to block traffic from certain countries?
No script just iptables firewall configured to drop incoming IP blocks. Over the weekend I had disabled the firewall because the box was just sitting idle. Maybe thats when the bad clicks occured.
bad clicks ?? anyways hopefully they will reply to the mail but cant you re-signup with them and start again .
They did not respond as of yet but I would rather not commit fraud, I bet they have my websites blacklisted so why risk hundreds of dollars in ad payments and then have them say ooops sorry you go bye bye and we go ching ching ching all the way to the bank! No, I just reinstated adversal and removed them from my sites as they requested. And also removed their referral link from my sig. Adversal has lower rates but who knows, maybe they count impressions better? I think I did hear some people hint towards that here.
One ques :: when your account is suspended .. do they pay the amount which is in the account at the time of suspension of account < if its above payout limit > . I guess Clicksor pays the balance amount . lol..so adversal is back again
Suggestions? BTW I think your proxy needs to have the template modified a little, you need clear drawn vertical lines between those globe pics and the adsense ads. Someone correct me if I am wrong.
It seems to be producing just as much revenue as paypopup was, even though adversal advertises lower rates!
