ShoppingAds Not Working For Me
| Not sure what's happening with ShoppingAds, this is an offshoot of AuctionAds. No ads have appeared on my blogs for two days. I've been to their website and even there, where they indicate there should be a 'live ad', there's nothing on display. To check further I tried to create another set of ads to see what would happen. Where there should be a 'live ad preview' nothing appears. Things like this annoy me. If there is a problem you would think a message would appear on their site or emails would be sent out to members - it's basic business manners. (Or perhaps this is all just happening to me!) I didn't think much of AuctionAds and now I think even less of ShoppingAds. I'm about to remove all of their ads from my blogs. Like probably many people I initially had an email from their president, Patrick Gavin, asking me to join ShoppingAds. Part of the email said: 'Mike, as a previous user of AuctionAds I wanted to send you a private invite to our new ShoppingAds product! ShoppingAds is a cost per click ad product powered by the major shopping comparison sites. Now you are probably wanting to email me right back and ask, "Why should I try ShoppingAds when I had such hit and miss success with AuctionAds?" The answer is because ShoppingAds is a cost per click product with predictable earnings. So you send the traffic and get paid for every click! AuctionAds is a CPA (cost per action) product so earnings were very unpredictable for many publishers. Also, ShoppingAds is built on a very stable platform and the ads are serving lightning fast! ' I guess there's no lightning about at the moment. Other than this it's been a good week blogging wise for me. I've received over $600 in payments i.e. cash into my bank. Also traffic for the week, as I previously mentioned, has been incredible - though it was all a bit of a freak - 40,000+ in a day! But I don't care how the hits arrive, I'll leave that to the purists. Good luck, Mike. Labels: AuctionAds, ShoppingAds |
Mike,
Have a look on DP - loads of people are complaining that ShoppingAds has just stopped working. Guess you were right to go with WidgetBucks after all!
Whoa... you are such an inspiration guys..
Using blogspot and earn more money and traffic.. I will follow and subscribe your blog..
Ah ok..i thinked it was only a personal problem..
Now I subscribed Widgetbucks.. but it is not very fruitful...
Tom: Not 100% convinced about WidgetBucks!
shy guy: Hi! Thanks for your comment.
loverock: I've written today (Nov 12)about WidgetBucks.
Thanks all,
Mike.
I was getting some great CTR's with shopping ads, then it just stopped working.... that stinks, because it had been the most fruitful ad campaign I had run.
I've given up on AuctionAds. I mentioned it before in one of the comments on this site and I've just written a post about it on my blog as well: http://aboutblogging.info/2007/11/09/why-i-dumped-auctionads/
Basically I feel cheated by them. I installed the code on my side and let it run for a few weeks. When there was no result ie when I looked at their statistics and saw that it wasn't even recording impressions I knew there was something wrong.
After some head scratching I realized that the referral code on my web-site was not my referral code. I'm still not sure how exactly this happened but I asked customer support for help and they never replied to me.
The first week ShoppingAds was GREAT! almost $0.21 for click! wow! then it all changed to 0.1, 0.2 0.3 per click... that stinks!!!
I´m getting a LOT MORE from adsense
Take a look at the front page when you log in, over on the right under "This is a live ad!" — there's nothing there.
It's a shame, as it had potential, but right now it's just creating a big blank space on my site that could be much better used for something else (or just closed up)
If you’re already a ShoppingAds user, or considering becoming one, you should check out emptyspaceads - turn your website's empty space into cash (a product I left my full-time job at Microsoft to build), which allows you to put ShoppingAds units in your website’s empty space. After all, when was the last time you made any money from your site’s empty space? Better yet, you don’t have to give up any existing ad units to run emptyspaceads. Keep what works!
We hope to add more ad networks soon! You can also create your own TextAds, ImageAds, and even HTMLAds. I invite you to try it out and send your honestly brutal feedback. Thanks!
