Anyone else having this problem?

I'm not entirely sure why but some CPA campaign's just don't show up properly. On one network i'm looking through random campaigns and as I click on the tracking link, it takes me to some survey completely unrelated to the ad. "Win a free iPhone" will show up on a car insurance or travel campaign, are these campaigns expired or something? Not all are like this of course, half of them go to the right page and others just go to the same unrelated survey.

    Maybe just geo targeting. If you're trying to view an offer for a different country than the one you are in.

      Maybe. I just tested that out by checking on a US offer but this one said 'Sorry promotion is unavailable take advantage of this great offer below instead'. This offer says "United States". Is it possible that there are many offers not working, but the network hasn't removed them yet?

      I do think many of the offers aren't working because of the geo targeting, but I can view them by changing my IP, thanks.

        That is definitely caused by geotargeting. If anyone outside of the target country clicks on the ad they will be taken to some survey page.

        You can still view the offer page using proxies, that's what I've had to do for most USA offers because I am not based in that country.

    It's likely targeting for a country you are not in - you can either get a proxy/vpn to view those offers - or give your AM a shout to discuss

    I would guess country targeting, but shoot your AM a message that's that best way solve issues like this.

    More likely that happens when an offer is set for any particular country.. Many times you'll find an US offer opening correctly in your country's GEO as well.. It happens because the Advertiser has not yet set correct parameters or has made LP open for anyone to see..

    If you are trying to access any US or any particular countries offer from another country then Try using some Proxy or IP Changer..
