Lead Impact Not Allowing Landing Pages?

by Phil_t
18 replies
Hi Warriors,

Anyone experienced this? I just received the following email.

"Splash pages are not allowed for this vertical. Offer must be direct linked."

"We received a large number of user complaints about landing pages for this vertical. So to preserve our audience and user experience our compliance team made the decision that splash pages would no longer be allowed for that vertical."

This applies to all offers in the computer download/backup/software vertical.

I guess they're just covering their backs. Just a heads up in case you were giong to spend hours making landing pages for this niche.

Phil

    Never had that problem before. I am still running a few landing pages in Leadimpact. It could be just for your particular offer.

    Talk to your network AM about this and ask them for help. Create a landing page and send them for approval before you upload it.

        To follow up on this, i was trying to run a cloud storage offer with a few landers and i got the same 'no splash pages allowed' disapproval message. This is what the rep eventually told me:

        "We apologize for the inconvenience. I checked with our compliance team and we don't allow splash pages, the offer needs to go directly to the landing page. Also, it looks like you were trying to run a cloud storage campaign which we no longer allow since it competes with one of our internal products. Hope that makes sense. "

    I have seen more than one complaint about Leadimpact stealing campaigns, if not directly, they do seem to watch campaigns to learn what offers would be most profitable to promote themselves exclusively.

    I would suspect that those fake Hard Drive Failure system alert scares that some CPV landers show are what users complained about.

    It's because some offers are not allowed to use a landing page. Some advertisers ask LeadImpact to do this in order to protect inappropriate landing pages from their offers.

      What will LI gain from this ? Unless the advertisers are paying them too.

        Nope, those aren't the reasons. It is because...

        LeadImpact has a back-up toolbar/software that triggers pop-ups.

        So they don't want competition with what they are using to grow their own PPV network.

        It is exactly the same as how TrafficVance uses the GameVance toolbar, and doesn't allow gaming install and gaming toolbar offers. They don't want competition against how they are growing their network.

        I do not blame them.

          Then why LI allow direct linking?

          From what Phil got from LI - "Offer must be direct linked"

          From my real experience, I'd say there are many advertisers have direct relationship with LI and they don't want users send traffic to their offer directly because many people create a landing page that makes misunderstanding in order to encourage visitors to submit their information in the offer's page.

            I thought that maybe the case at first, but then I saw this response posted and saw their new toolbar...

            This is what the rep eventually told me:

            "We apologize for the inconvenience. I checked with our compliance team and we don't allow splash pages, the offer needs to go directly to the landing page.

            That why I think it make more sense to that they are try to protect against competition or use the traffic themselves.

            But there is really no way to know for sure, but I don't prompt MyBackUp on LeadImpact. So I won't be loosing to much sleep over it. :p

            Buddy, you are jumping to conclusions on the basis of perception.

            If advertisers were having direct relationship with LI (which I do agree they have but in some cases where they disapprove your campaigns over there), they would have never chosen you as affiliate and go on advertising with LI directly. Why would they want CPA networks as middle man ?
