Have I been scammed by the Ad networks?

wwjdo · 05-28-2011, 06:41 PM

I was using a guaranteed traffic network for 5000 visitors and the Ad Network (one like Peerfly--big name) registered that I got around 4,700 clicks but not one single conversion. The ad was for a free sign-up to a dating service.
The thing is that when I click on my own ad, it didn't register a click until I reached the conversion page. Once I reached the conversion page and passed through it, then the click registered, but no conversion registered. I know they block conversions from affiliate ip's but I wonder if this is happening when other people click on the site. The clicks are registering but not the conversions. How can I have so many clicks to the ad's direct link, and not have any conversions?

might be a mistake but might also be that maybe the traffic you are getting isn't the type to convert for watever you are advertising. but if thats not the case you might be being scammed a lot of cpa, cpc and cpm advertising networks aren't squeaky clean

Not sure why you think you've been scammed?

Guaranteed traffic networks are generally extremely poor and untargetted traffic

The traffic that you are buying could be low of quality or fake hits.

Check it on other CPA offers from different CPA network. If the same problem happens, then most probably the problem is from the traffic source.
