Custom is better the vast majority of the time.

If you want to make a network with a custom system model it after NeverBlue, that's all I can say. They have the best interface by far IMO.

Otherwise Hitpath IMO, the ability to be able to place multiple pixels yourself is great for me.
 


Question:
If hasoffers tracks equally, uptime is good, interface is ok, then why should it get ragged on?

A networks saving money by using an equally good system doesn't seem wrong, considering they can put that money into something better.

Rep > software

i used to use hasoffers. it misses a lot of conversions
 
hm, no one really mentioned the difference between a hosted / shared solution and one that's hosted on your own server. ddos anyone?
 
neverblue has a great platform but its custom. so i'd have to say custom to what the network needs are. other than that i'd have to say linktrust.
 
if anyone is using the paid version of HasOffers, i have a question i'd like to ask via PM. thanks!
 
Keepin it real.
hi from HasOffers :)
we don't really like to get in the middle of these sort of feuds on wicked fire because of there obvious attempts and slander. We do however like to contact people that are posting and develop a relationship with them so that we can answer legitimate questions they may have.

I would like to learn more about the "pixel fire" issue you referred to. As of yet, we have had zero pixel firing issues, so perhaps we can figure out what the problem might be. Perhaps you know of a specific offer/network where there was a problem. I could definitely do some research.

Also, we do have billing history as part of the HasOffers application. It is not available to free users, but you can use the Affiliate billing feature on the Basic Edition and above, and you can use the Advertising billing feature on the Pro Edition and above.
I hope that helps answer you comments.

Please please feel free to contact me with any other questions you may have. We are all about making sure people are getting their needs met.

Cheers!

My reply.
Re: hi from HasOffers :)
I was giving a comparison of network platforms. If you read the thread, someone else mentioned pixel firing problems... hence the ? mark. I don't know if there's a problem or not.

This is what I do know.

I tried hasoffers and canceled at the beginning of the 3rd month with the idea that that was it. I then received an email that I wouldn't receive a refund for the upcoming month, which I never even asked for... So that pissed me off to an extent and I asked for a refund and never received a reply back.

With all that said, you can go fuck yourself and learn to run a business.
 
Wha about from an advertisers point of view? What would you say is the most reputable affiliate network? I haven't heard much on shareasale from anyone in this thread. Does anyone use them?
 
@webwonder - got the same thing addressing my point that about 99% scam networks use hasoffers. it was brought to my attention that there's multiple versions of hasoffers (like i didn't know that) and that only "non-legitimate" networks use the free version.
 
I really didn't like it at first, but I gotta say my favourite off the shelf tracking system is HitPath now..

EDIT: Just realised I've already posted in this thread >.<
 
I'm only familiar with DT and LT, but personally I think LT is better. There are pros and cons for both DT and LT, but LT is better with tracking and the reports have a better layout.
