Adbrite Black Label Ripped Me Off - GoFuckYourself.com

samo · 04-07-2008, 03:22 PM

Has anyone had bad experince with Black label Ads, aka, ADBRITE? I joined this network On the begning of March and placed their video player and banner codes on my site which is ranked 9000 on alexa and gets about 150,000 page views per day. On the end of March, I got an email from adbrite/black label ads saying my traffic is invalid and I will not be paid. What the fuck??? I used over 1500GB showing free videos so my users can see their fucking ads, also, I placed their code on top postion of my forum pages. I sent them over 4 million impressions and full page ads. So how the fuck is my tarffic invalid???

Im glad they fucked me before I gave them more free traffic. If anyone is thinking about doing business with those assholes, think twice. BTW, does anyone know any good and honest ad networks that i can join?

sicone · 04-07-2008, 03:25 PM

Were you sending clicks? or just page views?

IllTestYourGirls · 04-07-2008, 03:25 PM

do you run a tube? and a forum with rapid share files?

samo · 04-07-2008, 03:27 PM

I run an adult forum, and I sent them clicks, full page views and banner impressions. My forum is like the GFY forum with over 35,000 members

hmm... I wonder what on Earth would make 35,000 surfers want to join a forum? It's a mystery!

samo · 04-07-2008, 05:38 PM

I sent you guys my log files, and by simply looking a the thousands of posts we have on on our forum, you will see that those are real people. I read your term of use and it has nothing aginst my traffic. So then what? I get an email simply saying "sorry", we will keep your money. This is a bullshit ad network trying to milk traffic out of webmasters while paying as little as they can. To be honest with you, the money you owe me is not much, but to simply fuck me for no reason is what got to me. I think your system is based on scam and you will not last too long in this business, many others are in this market now beside you. As for me, I just want to let others beware, as I'm sure if you did this to me, you did the same to others out there, and you will do it to someone else soon too. Just keep watching this post and you will see the others you fucked. BTW, also watch xbiz and other adult forums, as I will post my story everywhere. If I can save just 1 webmaster from getting fucked by you, it will be worth my time.

Post links to your forum and whatever sites you are sending traffic from. Just curious

fluffygrrl · 04-08-2008, 03:29 AM

Anyway, you can't post links to forums here, and my experience with adbrite so far has been : We'll charge your account $10 just to sign you up to sell you traffic.

Then that page freezes so we just charge you 3x.

Then they don't send any mails at all. NONE. No "hey, we've charged you" confirmations, no replies to "wtf you've charged me 3 times", nothing.

Period.

Then they get charged back, and get a complaint lodged with the card processor.

Obviously it hasn't cost you your processing account yet, but at the rate you're going, it's bound to happen.

fris · 04-08-2008, 06:12 AM

Adbrite used to be good, its gone down the tube

The Duck · 04-08-2008, 06:48 AM

I would refrain from using their services at all.

cthulhu_waves · 04-08-2008, 07:01 AM

Good luck getting your money. I tried them for a few days - 100K uniques and they earnt me on average $2.46 per day. WRONG ANSWER...

samo · 05-02-2008, 09:34 AM

Still not one pennie paid to me from my 10 million plus hits I sent to Black Label Ads. No answer to my emails, nothing! Fuck you Black Label Ads, you scaming low life mother fuckers. If anyone is thinking of doing business with them DON'T! They will just FUCK YOU like they did me!

fris · 05-02-2008, 08:33 PM

sounds like you were doing something shady

tony286 · 05-02-2008, 08:41 PM

was thinking of spending some money with them, their site doesnt inspire confidence imo,it was very slow. They got some good places to do ad buys.

Hinc · 05-02-2008, 08:47 PM

It used to be fairly ok - mostly the clicks are a bit overpriced and the interface unimpressive - but there was some reasonable ads to find, so I used to allocate quite a bit advertising dollars there. But i stopped using them a while ago as the quality basically dropped below reasonable.

halfpint · 05-02-2008, 08:49 PM

I have used them for 11 months now and have allways been paid and never had any problems with them. They have also always answered my emails

Thier site can be slow though

I do.

I use them for the direct ad placement. They've started putting an interstitial ad page between the link on my page, and my ad sales page on their site, designed to skim my advertising sales leads away to buy network advertising from them.

My account manager has assured me in no uncertain terms that they will not stop skimming my sales leads traffic and they will not compensate me for it. Apparently it's vital to their new business model to skim my potential ad buyers away into their network.

They have done this forever. They get caught launching popups you don't get paid for, and much more.

Forkbeard · 05-02-2008, 09:57 PM

Actually they just started doing it to me about six-eight weeks ago. Before that, I hadn't had issues.

But of course it's possible I missed stuff.

They got angry with me when they got pissy about my ads running on a site I haven't owned for years and I told them to just turn it off.

eeeeeeer you lot are just as bad..............any excuse not to pay,bullshit things like links etc and yet you lot wait until we send millions of UV before you tell us about it, i bet you don't refund your paying advertisers.............so you don't just rob us site owners but rob the advertiser's as well.

Si · 01-18-2009, 06:26 PM

i heard something about someone who made some serious dollar with adsense and they said that they were invalid clicks. if you send to many they are probably shit scared of how much money they will have to pay you every month and just say they were invalid.

Fuck them anyway thats out of order.
