Maxbounty Down Again

They had the same problem last week for few hours. i lost bit of money as i was driving ppc traffic. they still down. i actually redirected all my campaigns to different network as i can not afford to lose money and it also effecting my tracking and optimizing. Not impressed

Okay yeah they're down again. Was back up for about an hour.

This is not good, I wonder if it was the same group as the original attack

they are up for me, did they go down earlier??

We verified our logs, database entries and also had our hosting support staff review all error logs. There was no downtime on our servers. This is the internet, though, and there is a chance something was not resolving somewhere between the computer of the OP and our server.

Serves them right for never looking at my application!

Is Max Bounty down for you too?

They're down again right now. Still very happy with them overall.

Hm, yep they are down.

Sad.. if these hackers spent half as much effort working on building a business instead of bringing down other people's sites they would be rich..

Just I checked to see how one campaign I started up was doing, before sending out a ton of emails (all leads asking for the CPA offer and had been converting high). Usually they respond quick.. so would have cost me even more money. And I see in my tracking people are trying to click on other links.. which lead no where... great.

Does this happen to other CPA networks?

Hi Alex, try out some affiliate products while you're waiting for CPA to come back online (if you dont have a backup network yet)

RAP Bank*Instant Commissions Vault
DigiResults — Work Less, Sell More
iDavi - THE Digital Product Marketplace

These sites pay you instant commission to your paypal, no waiting for payments.

Good luck!

Thanks, I actually am a member of a few affiliate networks. Although instant commission does sound nice.

Unfortunately, what I do need is a backup CPA network. The campaigns I have going were converting awfully, until I switched to CPA. Then one was coming in at over 40%. So.. right now I'm just.. stuck. Unless you know of a trust worthy CPA network that you can join instantly?

Edit: They seem to be back up..

Yeah they are back online now.

I'm with Peerfly & Maxbounty, just applied to Globalizer.com yesterday.

To be honest, you probably wont find a reputable CPA network that has instant approval.. If you do, the offers most likely wont convert that good. I know its a pain in the ass, but you really do want to stick with networks that dont let just anybody in. haha

Yeah, I agree with you there.

I applied to Neverblue, got rejected in a couple of days. If only the other Networks replied that fast! (while also approving haha). Pretty sure I applied to another one as well, but at the moment can't remember which one it was now.

Down again.. was about to send more traffic.

Guess I should wait at least a few hours. I hate keeping leads waiting though, I feel like they convert better if you give them a quick (non-auto) response.

Yeah.. at the moment I NEVER want to work with them again. If it is hackers and out of their control, that sucks.. but only having one CPA network at the moment.. argh at the delay to join, I can't switch links or do anything. Just wasted hours and hours of time. For. Nothing.

(This is emotion speaking... may keep working with them, but need to get in to other CPA networks so I have backups at least)

Thanks for the heads up! I have a few promotions running with Maxbounty as we speak.

Wow still down, and even though i get most of my conversion from using leadbolt lockers i still want to use maxbounty. Hopefuly they will bounce back from this issues.

Maxbounty is by far my favorite network and 90% of my CPA income comes from them so the recent downtime makes me very sad

I am currently unable to sign into my account and all of my campaign links are dead as well. Its been like this for several hours now.

This isn't the only network going down temporarily/offers being taken down lately.

Would anyone be surprised if this was Eagle paying hackers (not uncommon, at all..) to hit MB to try and "help" their "traitors" push all their traffic with ewa during this very busy holiday season?

Heloo everyone,
I am new to affilliate marketing and i have heared so much how difficult it is to get into reputable and trustworthy networks. So decided to take the time and effort to learn what exactly is required to get into this networks. Extensively researched on the interview questions and created a blog though its not complete as i still have to install a theme and content on to the blog.

After installing word press on my blog i got stuck trying to install a theme i bought online and out of frustration i just decide to brows offervault and then i see this very tepting offer and i click on the network(LIMELIGHTCPA) and apply WITHOUT HAVING A WEBSITE.

SUPRISINGLY LIMELIGHT CPA SENDS ME A MESSAGE AFTER TWO HOURS APPROVING MY APPLICATION. I AM HAPPY BUT VERY VERY CONFUSED. GETTING ACCEPTED INTO AFFILLIATE NETWORKS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DIFFICULT BUT THIS ONE WAS JUST TOO EASY .

Please has anybody heared of LIMELIGHTCPA ?, are they legit or scam. I am afraid to put a lot of work only to discover in the end that they are a scam

You really sound like an advertisement for them to me, no offense.

I had never heard of them, but you can get reviews here: LimeLight CPA - CPA Network Reviews - Affpaying

Sorry Mr Alexander,
if i sounded like you say but i know you were also once like me when you started this IM journey. I realy do not understand the bases for your suspision anyways, i have not been doing anything on the forum to promote anyone but looking for an answer to my questions

In the future, just don't post the same message in two threads.

On December 11th, starting at around 4:30pm EST, MaxBounty suffered approximately 7 hours of downtime. While the reason for the downtime appears to have been identified, we are continuing our investigation so that we may strengthen our preventative measures for the future. Any affiliates affected by this downtime will be compensated. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

Thank you.

So Steve, how are you going to be compensating affiliates? My AM so far, I'm not finding to be as helpful as I'd have expected.

Edit: Also had asked if anyone had been seeing lower conversions, but had two since posting that question, so removing it and chalking up the lower rate since outage to as bad luck.

Compensation was given to any affiliate running traffic on December 11th prior to the downtime. It was calculated out to be 7 hours worth of leads, based on average earnings from the past 30 days, with a minimum payout amount of $2. This is the same formula we've used anytime we've experienced downtime over the past 8 years. If you qualify for the compensation it would already be added to your account and visible in your Account History report.

Thank you.

I first started getting Actions on December 8th. I know I was sending traffic on Sunday.

So my join date disqualifies me from being compensated? Because I haven't been.

Email sent.

Edit: Steve took the time to look in to it and has compensated my account. And I feel the amount given was fair.

Seems to be a local issue. If so, that would make sense for the downtime in your area. As apposed to somewhere else where it seems to be up and running.

Just take a look at all the threads in this section. A lot of good idea.

Thanks!

And, then keep looking. I've seen a lot of good ideas in these forums. Some are junk, some are real creative. Some require a lot of work, well, most do.

Good luck yourself.

Its currently up for me?

update 7-25-2012 Down again... first day advertising.

Same problems I was doing well on a offer and then I wasted like $30 without a single conversion..

There was downtime experienced last night with the MaxBounty servers. We are still investigating the cause but recognize there was downtime and we will be compensating affiliates. Details on the specifics of the compensation will come on Monday once our analysis is complete.

The server issues are now resolved. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Been on and off for me too in the UK these last two days including today. Just came back for me 5 mins ago. Pretty worrying if the tracking links are going down too?

Down again! Even offer urls are down.

Sigh keep down

Man I actually feel bad for them. I got hit last week by some hackers too. My tech guys earned their money for those 2 days.

Was just coming on to say still down wanted run some more traffic $7 away from payout. Think I just need a payout as compensation lol

Must be getting ddosed or something

Down again for me as well.

Don't panic ,it is a powerful and reputed network.
It will be alright aftre a few hours .Just wait for the result.

seems to be all smooth again im going hit a offer now try get this payout that im $8 short of hope it dont go down again!
