Azoogle kind of sucks, much better networks out there that offer important 3 things: better payouts, better offers, and better PAYMENT methods which is huge if you're just starting out and have a little marketing money to blow.

  I spoke with them on phone and on IM with couple of Aznadvisors on IM,i got a similar reply from all of them,that they have some 'technical' problemsin releasing teh payments to publishers and will be releasing soon (No body had asked for my publishers ID and there was similar reply from all).It is frustuating to hear that they 'can not say' when they can release the payments to publihsers !
  Am I the only one or is there anyone whose payments got struck !

At least they still pay out (eventually) Which is better tha Scam N.W. Feedflair that simply do not pay out and will comletely ignore all your emails. so could be worse...once a N.W. starts doing this though....it's a slippery path I.M.H.O. steer well clear of Feedfalir though!

  I guess I'm not the only one. I use to get paid (wire) every Tuesday. Now, payments are delayed for as much as 3 weeks. They come on random days too. Sometimes on Wednesday and sometimes on Fridays. This has been happening for last 2 months now. Last I got paid was on July 8. I have to constantly bug my AM. Getting annoying.

  You can forget it. They are not paying anyone anymore. My AM has vanished from IM, nobody answers the phone or emails.
  
  I have come to terms with the fact that I will not receive my money anymore. Oh well, another scam company bites the dust. I guess their stunts with the Playboy Mansion was too costly and bankrupted them
  
  No tears though. I am / was with them for 2 years and they always sucked in comparison to other companies such as Neverblue, Hydra and all the other big players and almost all smaller companies I work with who are top notch and professional.
  
  I asked them to close my account and even that they did not do :rolleyes:
  Just forget about epicNetwork aka. epicFail and move on. They are done. I am assuring you first hand.

This person is an ass. Short replies, no apologies, no explanations:

We are aware of the issue. We have had issues with our automated system but all publisshers will be getting paid in full. Unfortuantely we can't provide an exact date but we are hoping it will be very soon. We appreciate your patience as this is a frustration on our end also.

We will have the money sent as soon as possible

We are notifying publishers as we pay them

.... WTF?

Time to find a different network...

We used to work closely with Epic when they were known as Azoogle and they were always on point with their payments for us.

They're a big company so they have a lot of red tape their turn around time is slow as sludge when an issue arises. They should work it out though.

I've been working with Epic/Azoogle for many years. Always got paid on time until last month, May 2011. I normally get a direct deposit on the 15th each month and did not recieve it until June 1st. My affiliate manager says they are working hard to resolve whatever issue they are having. Meanwhile June 15th has rolled around and i am yet to receive my commission once again. The affiliate manager is extremely casual and vague about the situation. I'm a bit frustrated with the lack of communication and am hoping they arn't having financial problems. Anyone get Junes commissions?

I keep on hearing this. I would drop them immediately because if they are unstable now then they are working from the negative and you want a network that is working from the positive. You should pick a network who is selective on changing their monthly payments to bi-monthly and weeklies but it still able to do it. It means they have a pool of money and will be able to pay you even if their advertisers don't pay them. You can also chose networks that have 500+ Exclusive offers which means they have had a consistent long-term relationship with their advertiser. And do your research!

Thanks

Hmmmm the first sign of instability at a CPA network is dropping publisher payments. Most networks pay their publishers FIRST -- even if the advertiser backs out on them. If you're finding that you're not getting paid, get your eggs in a different basket

Constant revenue is necessary for all of us to be able to keep our businesses afloat!

Hey Steve,

(I still can not PM anybody, hence writing to you here)
Could you please help me with getting registered with Copeac, thanks. I am from Australia and just started doing some CPA promotions and I am currently with Maxbounty. In their website, Copeac has mentioned that it is after very experienced CPA publishers only, so did not want to get rejected lightly

Please let me know if you can help me with it, and I will not forget your help!

Thanks in advance

Not addressing this as a stab at you, However i solely disagree, Them having financial problems is the end of a network, With many publishers using PPC or PPV, running campaigns can be expensive and they need a steady cash flow to keep them running.

If any network i can care less what the name is constantly takes you a few months to get paid then you would have to be either a Idiot to continue or a very rich man with too much faith.

Money issues are damaging to any networks. However the networks put them self there by making promises they can not keep to get you from network A to network B. By doing this it sounds great and for few months they stick to it but when they have already paid you for leads the advertisers do not pay for cause a network didnt want to take a month or two to test one's traffic i can assure you that your payments will start off being delayed then eventually stopped.

We do not work with many Publishers however the ones we do work with know up front net 15 1st month with 1k Threshold and then if quality checks out weekly provided they still reach the threshold. May sound harsh but i bet we do not pay for any fraudulent affiliates and if one does sneak by one month they do not the second. So we do not get hit hard on reversals.

Most network that offers you weekly from the start with out testing EVERYONE'S traffic first may have there heart in the right place but our destined for failure. Once in a while one may get lucky, But you wouldn't drive a car blind why would you start a business blinded as well.

We are very strict on quality, However we feel this is to protect affiliates so any affiliate that has a issue with this well then we do not really want to work with any ways so no harm done.

Bottom line is if you are not getting paid on time, Stop and switch as there is to many networks out there to let them get away with this BS, considering with the amount of networks out there they are lucky you picked them in the first place.

Azoogle / EMG is not paying most of their affiliates since may 2011. Reason they are telling mostly is of "technical nature", sometimes "Bank Issue" and some times AM just avoids affiliates. Is this really happening? I my self have 5 (Aug-Dec) months of earnings stuck there and still I hear every time I ask them stories that I'll be paid next week and this keeps on and on. We're in 2012 and still no payment so far, too disturbing. Is Azoogle/EMG still a #1 choice for Affiliates?

Have you filed a claim against them with the better business bureau? I think it's awful that they are stiffing affiliates but still advertise on their site that they are the #1 CPA affiliate program. By saying, "new to affiliate marketing? our epic adviser team is here to help you reach your monetary goals" shows they are clearly marketing to unaware noobies. Also, they have an A+ BBB rating so they look totally legit... just awful.

Epic May File Bankruptcy, Assetts Being Sold

Performance Marketing Insider has learned that Epic Direct, formerly known as Azoogle, is currently being slated for closing and they are having discussions of bankruptcy. As of Wednesday, their entire staff has been laid off and a spokesperson with the company has confirmed that the company is currently winding down -- and no more publisher payments have been made.
Additionally publishers have been informed not to send any more traffic to the company. The spokesperson confirmed that the decision about if the company will file bankruptcy is still being discussed by the board and any remaining few employees are not able to answer questions.
We have additionally been told by insiders that the company had faced enormous financial difficult this year with tens of millions of dollars of unpaid debts from a variety of companies not willing to pay their bills. This caused significant cash flow issues and with a growing publisher base worried about payments, traffic dwindled.
According to Mundo Media, they have bought assets from Epic Direct including domain names from their "host division" and several Epic Employees have already been hired by Mundo Media.
The social division and display division of Epic has already been spun out as a separate company, Kinetic Social, almost a year ago to purposely separate the businesses and liabilities.

Thanks
