You seem like a douche of the first order. The "dumb dumb" should have his communications answered in a timely manner and then you can let him know that you need some documentation from him or "sends we a god damn W-9".
And if you want affiliates to do business with you I suggest you don't out private details of campaigns, signups etc. on a public forum.
I am actually surprised you haven't been flamed to a crisp yet for your idiotic and totally unprofessional posts.
Regrettably, this post would never have gone up if I hadn't taken an extended 2 week vacation, I apologize to all, but honestly I needed it. It has been over a 3 year stretch of non-stop work without a single break.
This however is no excuse for my bad judgement of leaving my company and our reputation in the hands of my employees. I am reminded of a quote that best paints a picture of what had happened: "When the cats away the mice will play"
Since AdAngler has started in 2009, Ad Angler has never had a single incident arise from any of our affiliates concerning late or non-payments on legitimate leads produced with in full compliance of our terms of service and has totally abided by each offer's clearly stated allowable promotional methods.
Ad Angler promises all our publishers if we collect your commissions from our advertiser, we will pay you! Simple as that!

FIRST PROBLEM:
First and largest matter at hand is the non-payment/failed contact attempts issues and the motivation for this post. I hope I have straitened out any confusions and taken care of everyone here that had a problem with their payment, personally.
Again, to those reading this post both affiliates who posted they had non-payment issues. Both affiliates had not been notified by their assigned Affiliate Manager that their payments where on hold due to a compliance issue. Their payment date went and pasted, when they tried to inquire of the problem they could not get a hold of their Ad Angler AM's or a response back. Extremely unprofessional on our part!

If anybody still needs help feel free to please contact me personally through PM or email me: michael at adangler. I will take care of any other issues and do my best to get them fixed.
Undeniably there was a totally unacceptable communication complication resting solely on Ad Angler which involved a couple of my affiliate management staff. I do not blame a single affiliate who posted here for what they said and how they feel about how they were mistreated by Ad Angler. Personally, I would be venting too if I were owed commission monies and my affiliate manager wasn't responding to any of my contacts.
I do appreciate everyones criticism which defiantly will help me right some wrongs and make some much need changes around here to better serve all our valued affiliates.
I do however feel terrible about what happened and assure everyone that I only want the best for my publishers. It breaks a piece of my heart to know this occurred.
I would like to re-instill the trust we may have lost back into any Ad Angler affiliate who was affected by the unprofessionalism and complete arrogance caused by these 2 AM's and/or if you have any problems with your current AM and would like to switch. If you have had an issue while I was away please email me personally and I will make sure you are given a reliable AM, resolve issues and leave you with my personal info for any emergency.

FINAL NOTE:
Even with the above being said Ad Angler has taken affiliate payments a step further to ensure our publisher happiness and loyalty. Most importantly, Ad Angler was founded by me an affiliate marketer. I too have felt the frustration of this industry cruelty towards affiliates by simple mistakes, misreads of terms of service or mistaken an offers allowed online marketing practices. I know first hand what affiliates fear because those fears where realities I personally had to overcome. The battles are never ending and sometimes learning things the hard way is just one of many burdens affiliate must carry.
I want to also reassure everyone that I am back for good to oversee everything and Ad Angler will never be a fly by night or scam network. Ad Angler is and always will remain heavily funded to support any size affiliate. I personally manage my companies funds along with my network accountant. Ad Angler's success derives from my personal upbringing and sometimes obsessive personal value that saving every dollar earned is key to our and any companies success. Sure, we are not a flashy or a glamy affiliate network, we don't have banners everywhere on the web and sometimes we don't splurge at summits, conventions and events to get everyone's attention but because of this we are always dependable. I give everyone my word as long as I am in charge of Ad Angler, my company will stand true, stand the test of time and always make it thought any detrimental endeavor we face while always keeping our affiliates best interest in mind.
