I'm a newb to affilate marketing, so I went with FB ads. Started a campaign, alota testing ($400) over 5 days for one offer. I earned $100 in comissions, until I they were scrubbed and I was banned.

After I noticed ~$100 in commissions missing from my account, I contacted me AM. The commissions were scrubbed 2 days ago. My AM told me that I was supposed to get an email from Jennifer, but she never got to me until today. When Jennifer emailed me 1 hour ago saying my account has been banned, it was the first time I heard anything from Jennifer about this offer. The email said all the leads for this offer were scrubbed, because they were fraudulent.

I never received any warning or hint, that the leads were fraudulent. Am i supposed to get a reason why the leads were fraudulent? Also, that's a terrible word to use, fraud needs to include intent to deceive. I had no intention to deceive, it was a negative ROI campaign!

Is this how Copeac runs?
 


Did you read the terms of the offer before you ran it?

I have a feeling the offer you picked was not allowed on social networking/facebook or there was another offer that's the same but specifically meant to be ran on facebook (for example, zwinky has a normal campaign and a facebook-only campaign. Running the normal one on facebook would count as fraudulent leads, you have to run the facebook-only campaign)
 
If you want to email with some details as to what the offer was and how you promoted it ill look in to it for you.

We recently put an offer live, didn't announce it to the network and had 30 people jump on it and all commit fraud on the offer at the same time.

Damn 7 minutes since OP posted. Gotta be a new record Mike!

Only thing that could make copeac more kickass is if I had gotten invited to the party bus shenanigans.
 
Ah-ha! Maybe this was the reason...

It says all these are ok:

  • search
  • banner
  • pre-pop
  • co-reg
Not allowed:

  • I-frame
  • newsletter
  • email
I can't see the extra stipulations, because my account has been inactivated.

Meh, I also has $23 on another offer, which I haven't heard anything about (profitable, 50% ROI campaign!)

Ask you AM why you weren't invited. They may not have known you were going to be there or wanted to go. The AM's make the decision on who attends our events. Let them know you'll be around and interested in attending next time

Looks like we're getting everything sorted out. Thanx Mike for straightening out this situation.

Back to grinding... Let's see if my FB ads will get disapproved when I try to expand the target market. (currently only targeting 14k people)

um $400 is plenty on a <50k demo at CPM of 0.05 - 0.10
:moon:
 
Mike has all these lists of people he carries around with him and hands out to his employees. Actually it's only 2 lists. One of people he wants banned and another that can't be taken out for dinner, attend their parties etc.

You must have been on one of them.

Sounds like a quality group of publishers you've been letting in your network lately...
