CPA Lead in Financial Crisis?

Just glad I never worked with them

That is Crazy...

I remember StomperNet owning me over $30K and I was never fully paid out, and I am far from the only one that got screwed over.

I have not pushed any CPALead offers for at least a year, they were starting to become a lot less professional, Blow and Hookers in Vegas has its limits...

Ok, looks like I'm switching to Adscend Media now for my incentive site.

Ryan Eagle is going around spreading rumors to help jump start his new network that is set to compete with us, called BlamAds. So take what he says with a grain of salt because he only stands to benefit from comments like this.

We have been terminating a lot of publishers on our network recently due to our advertiser's requests. If we want to work with higher tier advertisers, we have to clean up our network - and fast. We have a rather large compliance team reviewing every single account on our network (about 100,000) to ensure every single publisher on our network meets our TOS.

Don't worry Ryan Eagle at BlamAds, you can still have the publishers that we reject.

These are the reasons why we are terminating accounts:

1. Account is inactive for 30 days. In this case, we will send the publisher a full check for the remaining amount even if they didn't reach the threshold.

2. Using bots to auto-fill our offers. This is an immediate ban without a chance of getting back into our network. We have found A LOT of this recently.

3. Spamming. Spamming sites like Craigslist or Facebook will get you in deep trouble. Even if it's just a "one time" deal, you are still jeopardizing your whole account.

4. Fake content. If a user completes a survey, and does not receive their content, that is bad for our industry and the end-user experience. In cases like this, we will ban the publisher's account. However, publishers that are banned for this reason, can still come back and create another account with us as long as they give out REAL CONTENT. If they are caught with fake content again, we'll revoke earnings / terminate again.

Let's keep CPA lead clean together for the honest publishers who are earning a living and who deserve the best offers available. If you find someone who has fake content, who is spamming, or using bots to fraud our offers, please report them to Security. We <3 our honest hard working publishers and we'll do whatever we can to protect them.

If anyone wants to contest the reason why they are banned, please PM me with your first name and your publisher ID and I will personally look into your account on one condition: If I find any fake content, adult material, or evidence of bots, I have the right to post the evidence here in this forum. If this doesn't sound good to you, then please wait for our compliance team to respond.

Fair enough. Any takers?

I am sorry I forgot to mention that if I find out that you were unrightfully banned from our network, I will apologize to you, reinstate your account, and give you a payout bump. I would not want to put any of our legitimate publishers who played by the rules through this process, I would sincerely make it up to them.

I have been following the discussion very carefully on here and at dp forum and i would like to ask just for reference after reading the terms and conditions of the network,what sites or content do you prefer for Cpalead publishers to have,as there seems to be a lot of confusion on this issue since alot of publishers started with movie and television streamed sites or download sites which have had a effect on there site or accounts being banned because of it.

i understand the terms and conditions of cpalead and have followed them by removing them sites from my account and starting to create valued content in many other niches, I love being involved in Cpalead and taking part with new ideas but how do we in future if we ever get banned know what for? i have not been banned as of yet and do not intended to be either. I monitor all traffic to my sites by my awstats host account in my cpanel and Google analystics but the main concern for me and others is that for a good decent website to flourish take longer then 30 days so how come publshers are being banned if in that case for making genuine valued content which is not copyright all uniqe yet they could be banned.

Can you please tell what sites are deemed okay to promote offers on in future.
Thanks from a confused cpalead network lover

My acct is open and I am due $xxx in payments in a few days

Thank you for the reply Troy You have cleared that up fo me in one short post.
Yet Most ebooks on ebay or products are sold on personal plr rights e.g cannot be given away so i beleive thats going to cause problems for some publishers if they block with the widget and content and use them for download materials.

But thank you anyway for your reply.

CPA LeadTroy, can you clarify a bit more? I was about to apply to your network , so this whole thread caught my eye. When you say "fake content" does that mean NO content or inappropriate content like adult, or copyright violation content. Are popular movies considered fake content for instance? Thanks..

yeah i must admit I was amazed another CPA company actually said this.... It's getting like Mafia wars out there.

I would like to know why my account was closed.

Ashby Marketing LLC

Sure what is your publisher ID? If you would like to talk to me directly, please IM me on AIM @ CPAleadTroy

We have been banning accounts as they are reported to us, but in order for us to review every single account in our network, we had to assemble a 10 person compliance team to review all 100,000 publishers. The full sweep should take until next week.

Thanks Troy

Thank you all for your kind words, it's great to be a part of this forum. I will continue to provide support here and answer any questions that may arise. I appreciate the warm welcome.

Ryan,

If I were you I wouldn't admit I own that network either.

But keep taking childish shots at us and misleading users on this forum like your opinion isn't biased because you own blam, that will really gain their trust.

I originally opened an account with cpalead to use it on my arcade site, but then I tried using it for my female photo blog (it doesn't have any nudity in it). They said it was a little to close for comfort, so they banned me which is fine. I was just curious to know if I could use it for the cpalead adult network.

Well Troy, I would like to know aswell.

Thanks for taking this serious Troy.
Regards, Steen.

I'm surprised Ryan hasn't been banned. Flaming and trash talking is never helpful, respected by clean professional places like this or the members here. Go post your garbage with all the rest of it on some flame-blast ekidtantrum site like rip off report....
I'm surprised you haven't been met with a team of lawyers or worse. You know there were times you did something like that and they would lock you up in prison...
I wish you all the best with all your networks and endeavors online... but please, drop the trash talk and keep thinking positive.

CPALEAD is the best network! I prefer all of you to use it.. :-)

You know there hasn't been a Ryan Eagle Affiliate Summit fight in a while..

Since your both at Affiliate Summit, I'm thinking maybe this needs to be settled with a couple summo wrestling outfits and in the ring

Well Troy, I already posted once before, but you haven't answered me, so I guess I'll give it a shot again. Can you be kind to unban me

I don't think so, Madison and Troy are the type of people.
That will keep there publishers happy even if they are faced with a Crisis!
They aren't for sure,
Troy Keep the good work up man!

I heard many cpalead accounts were banned or deleted...
sad news

@Vitality K, It is %99 because of publishers using unethical ways.
i remember, my nephew telling me.
about being greeted with that fake Profile spy... on Facebook. With Cpalead!

Likewise over here folks. We recently launched experimental incentive site (wont go into any detail) and CPALead wasnt registering conversions - hilariously, our users complained since our software wouldnt credit them for completing offers. Ultimately, we ended up setting up an API within our own network to do what we needed on incentive friendly offers.

Its sad to see CPALead headed down this road. They provide excellent content locks, and were one of the first to do so. The thing that I'll never understand about networks who head down this road - is why. Sure, in the short term, they might see a minor increase in revenue - but in the long term, there losing long time publishers; and recurring revenue from folks like me who simply went with them because they offered better software.

And then theres that adspend they made me waste to. However, thankfully, we managed to retain our user base as we caught the problem rather early on.

I was banned because I wasn't active but I was paid my few dollars that I made..

banning who wasn't active for 30 days without breaking any rules is harsh!

some people need time before being successful in the cpa industry at least give them 6 months limit..

@Najat,
They are doing this because some people may sell their accounts to others.
this is from what i read, correct me if am wrong.

But, if you log in few times.
Also make your cpalead account to use, then you wouldn't have gotten banned!

Though I feel sorry for you, Najat.
Hope you can sign up with them again !

Bump this. Stali waiting for Troy to answer me <3

well, apply for a new account and you will be taken into system without delay.
I applied for them recently for the first time and was accepted in the system within a day. Gud luck.

Why close down movie/tv show sites? Most of the stuff is not hosted on their servers and are just scraped from the web?

The thing about CPALead I dislike is that they are still allowing publishers that push several thousand a day(I speak to them daily) to run "banned" methods of traffic, such as facebook spam.


Another thing, Troy also has been banned from DP because of registering under another alias and dissing several other networks.

Be a man, Ryan Eagle is. He will tell you if you're his competition, because he welcomes it. He won't say **** about you unless you're doing something wrong.

That doesn't sound like a reason why we would ban anyone. Please give me your publisher ID and I will look into it for you.
