Ok so i got some time to explain how things worked out with the problem i have with crakrevenue
The first message i got from one of the AM's
***
How do you generate traffic and where is it coming from? We know you promote our offer through cam69.us and it's hiding the redirection domain which we don't allow. If you want to keep that domain, you will need to use a 307 redirect which is also called a temporary redirect.
Would it be possible for you to provide us with your traffic sources ASAP, please.
We had suspicious activity on our offers, so please provide your traffic sources, otherwise your account will be disabled.***
My reply was:
***I do not promote through cam69 and i do not own that domain. in fact it is the first time i hear about that domain!
My traffic sources are :
***.com ( all domains list provided)
***tumblr
***facebook
and everything else..to make sure they got al;l info from me.
The second reply from crakrevenue
Thank you for the inputs, it clarifies a lot of things.
I know you've been doing business with us for a while now and we are grateful for that, but the thing is that something has changed in your recent activities. Indeed, we had alerts that your ratios were really uncommon, so we investigated. I am truly sorry if you felt accused, but a part of my job is also to make sure that the traffic is legit. I had a look at your sources going to LiveFreeFun in Google Analytics and that's where I discovered cam69.us. 10.29.2014-15.58.25 - M4ud3.R's library
Your account will not be disabled and we will keep monitoring your stats, like we do with all our affiliates. At the moment, the quality of the traffic on LiveFreeFun is poor and below our provider requirements: none of the leads you sent converted to a paid membership. I still have a little leeway, but not that much. Don't forget that qualified traffic is the key to success. ;)
I talked to Etienne and your new account manager will be Thierry! He should be in touch with you shortly.
My reply to this message was:
Hello Maude,
I received the message. about that website. i made some researches myself.i really don't know how that website could have been linked to my account.I found out that it has been present on GFY forum and sold around date of : 09-22-2010
Domains for Sale - GoFuckYourself.com - Adult Webmaster Forum
What i can say is that at that time i didn't even knew about GFY or anything about adult biz
My username on GFY is candidhotties and the date that i registered is 09.26.2012
I also found out that domain cam69 is somehow related to Bulgaria/ bulgarian webmaster / hosting plan ( whois results)
What i cannot understand is why my affiliate id is present on that tracker? As i can see now exactly what you meant. the mytoslutroulette campaign id and affiliate number id
If needed i can provide info with all ( and only domains) i have and you will see that this cam69 domain is not present.
If the cam69 webmaster has been also signed up with crakrevenue.com or other links that are pointing to this domain , i presume they can be verified.
Anyways, thank you for your support and understanding and i look forward to be contacted by Thierry.
Meanwhile i will remove old crakrev links and change with new ones. so i can see if the same thing appears.
The third message from crakrev:
I figured it was not your affiliate ID when I investigated deeper. Thanks again for the relevant information.
After couple of days i got this message from my "new" crakrevenue Afiliate Manager Thierry
Hi Robert**,
After reviewing your account, we found unusual results and activity. This email is to inform you that your account has been closed and all payments have been suspended until further notice.
The ratio of your hits/leads in CrakRevenue is really uncommon and we could not find any of your sources.
None of the leads you sent converted to a paid membership.
Accepting such poorly performing traffic puts our deal with the provider into jeopardy as they are paying for leads that should convert into a spending member.
The combination of both these factors results in us choosing to part ways. We wish you the best of luck and hope your traffic can convert with another company.
Regards,
My reply to this message was:
I received a message that say ( on 7 November) that my account was suspended and all payments suspended for suspicious activity.
I already provided all info and explanations
regarding my account and traffic sources couple of days ago to your coleague MAUDE ****
After reviewing my response i got a positive response as it concerns my account.
I provided all details about my traffic and also
i have proven that i do not have anything to do with that cam69 domain that was sending fake traffic.
I am from almost two years with crakrevenue
and i wouldn't do anything to get my account closed!
Also, as i understood the problem was mostly with livefreefun signups that were very poor, but as a total i understood that my traffic had some conversions as well.
What do you mean by" we could not find any of your sources."? i provided all my main traffic sources in my reply email at that time.
I also informed Mrs MAUDE *** that i am working on changing all the links with new ones so there will be no more issues in the future. i also disabled some of my traffic generating pages until i add the new crakrevenue campaign links.
It's very suspicious to me as well that now when the payout term is approaching i get this kind of evasive and explanation about my account.
Please get in touch with me as soon as possible.
Thank you
The response was:
After a thorough investigation of your account, we found undeniable proof that you engaged in false lead generation and confirmation on the Live Free Fun offerWe do not take these matter lightly and we have diligently reviewed all the transactions on your account since the beginning of October 2014. The results were irrefutable and as such, we have no other choice but to terminate our business relationship. As stated in our previous email, your account is definitely closed and all pending amounts are forfeited. Furthermore, we would like to inform you that this decision is final and that their is no appeal process.
So: Same Cam69 shitty website that i do now own or never owned or never had anything to do with it!,Same shitty website that caused me troubles. I thought i have already cleared up things on this shit! It looks like i didn't. or maybe they don't communicate from one Am to another and even tho i sent all relevant info about my traffic, and even if i got assured that they figured out it wasn't me ....turns out that the new AM didn't took all this into consideration. Or maybe simply he didn't got any message from the previous AM with whom i was in contact regarding this matter.
