Isn't one of the owners of millnic a member here? I would like to hear his side of the story.
 


Thanks for the tips guys.

I'm happy with the way it's been resolved, Millnic's not 100% responsible and neither is Canadian Sponsors.

It's the advertiser who pulled the offer with no notice who screwed us all.

I think it's good that they are willing to reimburse me for some of the traffic that was sent.

And no it's not torrent traffic, I don't even know what torrent traffic is. It's traffic from my coffee related Facebook application

I've been wanting to know this answer since the fucking beginning of time.
Who is supposed to be the responsible party in the tracking, reporting, and payment of these business transaction? THE NETWORKS... they are supposed to track, report, and pay you. I understand if the Advertiser pulls, the network is shit out of luck, BUT WHY!? Why do networks not have ANY safeguards in place that prevent this? I mean Jesus is it that hard to see the advertisers COMPLETELY TAKING ADVANTAGE of the networks in instances like this? The network obviously has publishers pushing the offer... when its pulled (especially with no notification) the traffic is gonna keep flowing until someone goes, "Shit, this ain't right!" All the while this keeps making the ADVERTISER money on THE PUBLISHERS DIME, not to mention the Networks sweet profits are swept away as well.

Look at it this way, if I ever got boned by a network for anything over like $100, it would be the end of our business relationship plain and simple. The lack of responsibility it shows on the network's behalf is over powering. You mean... we (the publishers) are the backbone of ANY INCOME your network will EVER HAVE, and you can't even GUARANTEE us safe, reliable, TRUSTWORTHY transactions?

What would you do in this situation?

I started promoting a Canadian offer for a $500 Second Cup gift card yesterday and sent about 3500 leads to the advertiser!

It was a pretty good day for a first day running their campaign.

Today we ran the same offer, sent a little less traffic, should have converted at about 2000 leads (we didn't want to put all our traffic in 1 basket)

I noticed the stats on the affiliate network weren't updating all day today and I figured it was because it was Saturday, I tried to get a hold of the owner of the site/ affiliate manager all day, since early this morning - to find out when the stats would update.

I finally got a hold of him at like 12:30 AM, so the entire day went by when we were sending leads.

Apparently the advertiser pulled the offer without notifying the affiliate network.

what would you do in this situation where you're expecting a couple thousand from the traffic you've sent for a whole day and you are sitting at $0 because of a sleezy advertiser?

Who can you take it out on? The offer was redirected to another offer for the affiliate network that didn't count for us - so I'm pretty sure they made a lot of money even though the ad was expired.

I have the same experience. They did this because you were sending too many leads and they think it was invalid. I was making $1000/day, until I got that happened to me. Contact your affiliate manager and tell us what he or she says. Probably they banned you from that offer.
