Hey all,

Anyone here ever heard of and/or use the Gunggo ad network?

Just got an email from one of their AMs the other day and
wanted to know if they were a solid network like Value Click Media
or other well-known network.

Thanks!

    I got an email too. Doesn't seem like a solid company since nobody replies...

    Hi JaggyJay,

    We`re a legit ad network and our traffic is hand-packed based on sites we feel are relevant for the advertisers we have in the network. In terms of being bogus, we`re definitely not bogus, as we only work on direct relationships both on our publisher and advertiser end.

    PaceLattin, to clear your understanding of Gunggo, we are not an adware company. We`re not like LeadImpact, TrafficVance, 50onRed, etc where our traffic is derived on toolbar traffic. All of our ads be it banners, pop-unders, interstitials, PPC ads, and pre-rolls are derived solely from direct sites. Now refrain me from saying that there are always going to be cheaters in the industry, publishers who try to fraud clicks, iframe, etc. We do our best to audit this from our publishers as we understand not every publisher is going to be `clean` even if there site looks legitimate. We have included 3rd party auditing technology and have a full-fledge Ad-Ops and Auditing team in which we keep an eye on referrals daily.

    We have an extensive amount of partners that are earning good money from us.
    Please don`t bad-mouth companies in which you have never tested on and only hear stories. Especially in the affiliate world when some affiliates simply don't have have the cash flow and inability to take risks to expand their offers with media-buys. Those affiliates that work with us are larger affiliates dedicated to dominating a couple offers and look for display traffic like us to increase their payouts and push volume to get exclusitivity. There are many small affiliates in which we don`t seek to work with because we don`t want to burn there money. It simply wont work if you`re not on top of your game and getting the best payout from the advertiser as your goals are far too low to back-into with our CPM traffic. However, we do have tonnes of affilaites that perform EXTREMELY well with us, and have nothing bad to say. I can go ahead and name them all, but that would be a confidential matter ;-)

    We have clients spending well over $20K a day with us right now, hitting almost 30-40 countries in their portfolio.

    If anyone has questions on Gunggo, please feel free to email me directly at samuel [at] gunggo [dot] com. Otherwise, hearing it from 3rd sources is merely a good reference as someone like Pace has never tested our network.

    Thanks,
    Sam

    Hey All,

    Gunggo seems like a legit network to me by a little research.

    - They've got Physical Address !
    - Impressive Alexa Rank
    - Phone numbers !
    - and few more more...

    PS: Dont go on my words... Do your research yourself

    Regards
    ~Sam~

    We`ve been in the game for a while.. A lot of the affiliates we work with are larger scale. but we`re always interested in helping others grow! If anyone is interested, let me know I can explain our network in more detail!

    Physical Address - Check
    Impressive Alexa Rank - Check (around 70K range, although we were about 40K range last year)
    My direct mobile is +1.416.418.5073 if you ever want to reach me - CHECK!
    Extensive list of advertisers (direct and affiliates) if anyone is interested in references.

    Cheers,
    Sam

    "Our average test budget starts at $5000 what is your budget?"

    This is a new company isn't it? Sounds like mocking to new IM.

      We've been around for over 7 years now.
      $5K is not a lot if you're a serious online marketer. I know a lot of people turning $10's of thousands of dollars a day..

      The truth is, not every affiliate can afford to work with us. We are not looking to service every affiliate like some networks do, only those who are looking for options to scale their buys, who more than likely have already dominated an offer and got the highest payout. If you haven't done that yet, than of course you wouldn't be able to afford $5K to test..

        Gunggo might be good for publishers... but as an advertiser I found the traffic was horrible... I usually convert 1 of every 10 people that download my software into a paying client... I had hundreds of downloads and not one paying client... just thousands of dollars in expense... Wonder if some of the publishers have paid for clicks through sites like clixsense?

        I'm actually finding it hard having faith in your services, especially after how you handled the wikkii affair. Purchase a widly-used company, have minimal presence, and then without warnning or notice of future intent start shutting it down? Also the months of unanswered questions on the forums. This just doesn't seem like something a reliable company would do. I was looking into you for your services, but after this? I'm most likely going to take my money elsewhere, and I'd advise others to do the same.

    I had an account last year with them. I used their ad for 2 months. Organic traffic, over 30000 unique users daily, worldwide. Never got paid and support ignored me and deleted my account. I just got to this thead saying this because I was contacted today in my mail to make an account with them. Are they joking ? Scam network.

    The person above me, this vijaycasanova just registered and made in 48 hours just 3 posts and one of them was saying how great this network is, and no other comment. He is probably one of them inside to clean their scam image. Is nothing real. Sam as this user, Aowlad, with one post only saying "Yes I used it from last day."... Are you joking ??

    Don't use this. You will never get paid.

    Stay away from Gunggo - they have bad traffic.
    After performing a test with them - they (Kat Ward) promised I'd get a refund.

    I never heard from them since.

    Stay away from Kat Ward and from Gunggo.

    Gungoo is a legit ad network.
    It is a managed network and they run campaigns on CPA/CPI basis.

    Very disapointed in their company, you keep their ads and they don't payout at all, just scam you!

    Bad advertising network. Also they have redirect ads which are very bad for google ranking. If you have a bigger problem with them they stop responding to your emails and just ignore you.

    All in all very bad experience, never use them!

    Do not work with this company as they do not reply in a timely manner. their company voicemail is always 'full.' and they do not refund what is owed, even when the terms are clearly stated.
