    Look what I found in my ShoppingAds-stats today (image attached). Looks like they are switching from CPC to CPA (like AuctionAds).... :(

    Absolutely amazing performance as long as Shoemoney owned AuctionAds. Nearly zero income since MediaWhiz bought it.

    So, at the moment, they are useless?

    ShoppingAds / WidgetAds all fads. It seems to be moving downhill from here.

    Ok guys... ShoppingAds did what I predicted a few days ago... they switched my account from CPC to CPA and now my whole ShoppingAds-accounts is being tracked on a CPA-level.
    And of course, my income dropped immediately from a high two-digit number (daily) to zero (i am talking about a six-digit number of daily page impressions).
    I wrote an email to the support and they did not reply within 4 days.

    Today I removed all ShoppingAds from my websites. The next disaster after AuctionAds has finally come to an end. :rolleyes:

    I can't login to my shoppingads account since almost two weeks. Anyone else has this problem?

    Their team overall seems to be one of the most incompetent in advertising business. Emails are not answered, problems are not being fixed. Since the takeover of auctionads from shoemoney my income dropped to 10% of what I was earning before. After this I reported many mistakes to them which weren't fixed, lately no emails are really answered even. Shoppingads login is not working and I can't even check my stats.

    Is there a page where I could nominate them for being the "worst company of the year" ?

    If you try to login and see a blank page after hitting "submit", enter https://shoppingads.com/report directly into your browser and if you have some luck, you can see the stats. If not (and you see the login-screen), try it again... Eventually you will see your stats (and that ShoppingAds is deleting all clicks and income from your reports after 3 days).

    Media Whiz (Patrick Gavin) is ripping you off whith his AuctionAds- and ShoppingAds-sh*t. Remove these banners immediately, this is really the worst and most unreliable program I have ever seen.:(

    Thanks, I was able to see the stats this way.

    Yeah, this really is too bad. It could have turned out such a great program. The initial idea was nonetheless, awesome.

    Oh. I saw in my UserCP in this forum that someone has send me a negative reputation for opening this thread and he called me a "dumbass" and other stuff. Very nice to see that ShoppingAds staff is still alive and reading this thread. :D
    What comes next? Deleting my (meanwhile inactive) ShoppingAds-account? :rolleyes: I hope that these guys are choking on all their money.

    Indeed,

    It appears to be a con at the moment.

    It was predicting double digit CPC daily incomes.
    Then the day after it switches those clicks from CPC to CPA so I've earnt ZERO.

    What a big con.
