I know him personally. And I just got off the phone with him.
Sometimes you gotta understand that the network is working to get paid so they can pay you. Give him some time, im sure he will prove not to be a scammer.

never ever heard of CPA Rev...
which means, i wouldn't run my traffic through them.
You gotta THINK man.
Reputation is a big thing in this, and any business.

3 posts and coming in to defend a buddy - admirable but give some value to the community before friends get in trouble so that when they do what you say is more believable.
I expect this guy will get paid, and understand growing pains, but I don't understand the CEO of a company lying to a super affiliate. Should have just said, I don't have the money but I know these guys will pay me. I'm gonna call you every day to keep you updated on the situation.

I think with the flood of new networks out there youll find that slow payment issues will happen a lot. Its probably not the networks fault they just dont know whats round the corner until they turn.
Many people think its easy to set up a network, contact DT/Hitpath/LinkTrust/Has Offers get some offers, post on a forum that you have a network and instant success.
What everyone fails to realize is affiliates want to be paid yesterday and advertisers want to pay next month. the amount of cash you need to float is incredible (It keeps me up at night, and helps me to lose weight). Someone said get a credit line of 250K, try adding some more zeros to that number, and be prepared for 10-20% of advertisers to go out of business and not pay you.
If as an affiliate you're working with networks who are going to pay you when they get paid, RUN and RUN fast. You're trusting that the network did their due diligence on the advertiser which most don't do, they fall for the line of shit that every network wants to work with us and so should you so they extend credit without knowing if the person can pay.
I turn away more advertisers than we accept. Just like i turn away more affiliates than we accept. Part of the business is identifying who to work with and who not to. Same goes for picking a network to run with. Put your trust in someone who doesn't have experience and youre chances of failure will be much greater.
The OP probably ran the offer with the network in question because they offered 25 cents more than an established network. Guess that quarter cost you a lot more in the end huh?

I think it's ridiculous that people from "established" networks are in here mouthing off a guy that just got fleeced for $35k in leads + $25k in traffic costs (should he not recuperate his owed monies).
Saying shit like "oh you should use 'more established' networks" (gee I wonder who they mean?) is sad. Once upon a time, you were an unestablished network that needed to sign up affiliates. You paid, CPArev didn't. That's pretty much the only difference here. Now you're "established" because you survived your growing pains, and either CPArev will hit the skids and implode due to this, or they'll figure it out and move on.
The affiliate did his job here. He stayed in touch with his network frequently while driving this traffic, caught the CEO lying to him, and then outed the issue - with proof - to the rest of us.
Calling the affiliate out for not using a "more established" network is just silly, imo. Maybe he should have gone with CJ since they're more established? Shit I remember Flycast hosing me for at least 20 grand on more than on occasion in early '99 before CMGI picked them up. Guess I should have gone with a more established network too.

I'm not going to bash but I want to know what Krongel's drinking at night cuz I'm up at least 16 hrs a day often 18-20 and I cant burn a fucking pound off.
