So over the past few weeks I've dabbled in zip submit offers through NeverBlueAds. I've never really messed with them, but decided to give them a go and threw up a few PPC ads.

Well, after a few days and zero conversions I stopped. I didn't think too much about it. Until I started receiving PM's on a forum I advertised on...

I had made a post about my site on a forum that related to the offer. Well, a few people ended up participating on the voting page I had setup and submitted their zip codes in the offer. After not actually receiving their "free $250 gift card" on the next page they got upset and sent me PM's about it. Here is one of them:

"hey man, i voted in your poll and it just wanted more information after i put in my zip code. stop posting this spam crap."

Then the admin of that forum sent me a PM asking me to refrain from posting threads like that again in the future, stating "a number of members thought they were going to receive a gift card and didn't."

Anyway, it's apparent that quite a few people submitted their zip codes after voting and that's just from the forum. I have no idea how many people might have submitted their zips from the PPC campaign.

The kicker? The NeverBlueAds stats doesn't show a single conversion for that offer. Not one. I've heard that a lot of zip submit campaigns are shady, so how do you go about weeding out the bad ones from the legit ones? I sent an e-mail a few days ago to my AM, but haven't received a reply yet.
 


Zip submit advertisers are lead stealers. The networks are just being too lenient on these offers...
 
The only company that ever pissed me off is DishPronto on Commission Junction. 90% of my "sales" were adjusted the next month. WTF! It took numerous emails and 2 weeks before the Dish Pronto affiliate manager responded to me regarding my disappearing commissions. Fuck DishPronto scam asshole. I don't even use cj.com anymore except on sites I made prior to my Dish Pronto experience.

Ha... yeah, stay away from Dish Network retailers. I used to work for Allsat.com, one of the biggest retailers out there and I can tell you first hand that those fuckers are scandalous.
 
Same here, except i'm using CPAEmpire. I was promoting one of the zip offers from Generous Genie, and recieved emails and PM's from people telling me that they went through tons of pages of offers and stuff and asking me how long it would take to get their stuff. I probably had at least 10 people ask me this.

Its showing no conversions. Wtf?
 
Some zip submits don't pay on the zip, they actually pay on the second page. You won't know which ones do, you have to ask your AM and hope they tell you the truth. Sometimes they don't even know though. Zip submits are a bitch either way. You will usually get better converts on email submits believe it or not.
