advaliant Has too many shady companies

I got a complaint from someone who had bought a product through one of my sites about the shadiness of the company.

So, I decided to check advaliants companies since that is the AM I am using and I am now a bit concerned that too many of their companies are being listed on the rip off report and one is even being sued by the AG of Connecticut!

Basically, I have to move away from advaliant or else I won't get repeat customers if I keep trying to sell their shady products.

Has anyone experience this with advaliant and what other legitimate affiliate companies are out there that promote diet products?

I call bull shit. Advaliant obviously pissed you off for whatever reason. You're playing naive on purpose. And acting as though Advaliant is somehow acting in concert with these companies. CPA networks accept advertisers, if you don't like the fucking advertiser move on. But don't come here saying Advaliant this, Advaliant that, when the mother fucking beef is with the advertisers themselves. I could understand your use of Advaliant in this thread if it was a legitimate grievance, but you're just slinging shit. gtfo.
 
How can it possibly be Advaliants fault that YOU joined their network (I'm just guessing that they didn't come begging to sign you up), YOU looked through the offers, YOU chose an offer and promoted it (after reading the description), and someone was stupid enough to sign up for it without reading the terms?? Come to that, how is it Just Think Media's fault either??

And you seriously expect "repeat customers" on rebill bizopp and diet products??? Jeeping Christ...did you complete the offer yourself, thinking you'd get paid $40 while only spending $5??

Shareasale are not "more picky" - its just that they focus more on CPS offers where payouts/conversions and consequently volumes are lower. If rebill stuff worries your conscience then just don't promote those offers and get on with life - don't bitch about it and make stupid insinuations.

Advaliant are a great network. End of. Your thread title is total fucking bullshit, as are your posts in it - maybe you should go work for google? There's a link in pickledegg's sig above, give that a try.

Dude you used some rebill offer on your newsletter or something stupid. Whose fault is that?

We are not getting the full story.
 
I also have to chime in and say Advaliant is a fucking great network. Your just fucking retarded - so congrats!
 
all networks have generally the same types of offers from these companies. if you dont like it don't promote the offer... moving to a diff network aint gonna change shit
Right. Aren't different networks promoting the same offers much of the time?

A general question: how do you choose which offer to go with when you have multiple similar offers in the same niche? And when an offer has been converting, then it stops, do you move onto a different product or find a similar offer and test it?
 
You have discovered a secret in this industry. A lot of the advertisers are shady. Don't let it get around.
 
To the OP, welcome to the world of marketing. Note I didn't say marketing "on the internet" because the exact same practices are used both off-line and on-line.

With a few exceptions, there are two overall types of product that get marketed. Stuff people need, and stuff people don't need. For the stuff people need (i.e. groceries, gas, clothing) you don't need a hard or deceptive sell because people have to buy the stuff anyway. You just need to convince them that your product/service/store is better than the guy's next door. People are going to spend this money no matter what, you just have to find a way to get that money that's going to be spent anyway.

When you step into the world of selling stuff people don't need, you have to do a hell of a lot more to convince them to buy your product, because they don't really need to spend that money in the first place. To get their money, you have to convince these people they don't just want the product, but that they absolutely need to have it. To do that, you more or less have to trick them into buying your product/service. There's no other way, because you gotta make these people believe that your product/service is more necessary than food/gas/etc.

The trickery comes in many different ways. You can either exaggerate your product/services features, or you can prey on the weakness of your potential customer. This applies ACROSS THE BOARD. Is Shamwow really a better shammy? Will a dating service really guarantee you'll find a mate? Will you really get free money from the government? Can you really lose weight with a pill? Is any Disney pre-fab pop sensation really that good? Can you really get a free ipod? Will that juicer really solve all your health problems? I can go on, but the resounding answer is NO.

But that's marketing... offline or online. The difference with on-line marketing, is you cannot conveniently buy the necessities like gas, groceries, etc. So all that's left in on-line marketing is the stuff you don't really need.

If you can't accept this, you are definitely in the wrong industry. Not just on-line business, but marketing in general.
