AuctionAds on the last straw
I have used auctionads since i was talking to dillsmack and shoemoney on the webmasterradio chat. Dillsmack actually refered me to the ebay program on CJ. I got started with at that time was called shoemoneyads. Up untill that point i was just messing around with capital one credit card offers. I ran the auctionads code on some automotive sites i had with great results. I was making about 15 dollars a day off the same two websites with adsense.
Now with auctionads both were making a good 15 dollars each so in a matter of days i doubled my money. While this is not a ton of money it was a new way for me to make money online. For a few months i was making a nice little bit of change each month around 900 dollars. Now lately with auctionads as of this month with sending them even more traffic i made just under $300. I kept saying to myself things will get better they just have some things to work out.
Well its been a few months now since the takeover and things have just got worse. Auctionads says they are improveing one day at a time…. they must be some god damn long days. As of now i have droped them untill i hear from other people that things are back in order. As i write this i can’t even access the auctionads.com site and when i logged in today and almost every other day my stats were broken. I have gave them a fair run and now its game over. I really did like not waiting the extra month though for CJ.com to pay me, Where auctionads paid me directly into my paypal now waiting for a one month hold and then a check to come from CJ. I’m not that bitter but i hope for auctionads sake they get into 5th gear and fix the problems. It just more or less feels like your pissing traffic away when i see in my own logs 140 clicks going out and auctionads reporting 10. I have now changed pretty much all the code and urls and will let you know if January on the same 2 sites out performs December. I know one thing is for sure i won’t miss auctionads not working and showing ads for webkinz on a automotive site.
What do you think? Did you also drop auctionads lately?
