I've been in the industry for some time, and have had an account with NeverBlue for years. I recently ran one of their offers on fb ads for a couple weeks. We're talking about 4-5k in revenue here. My ROI was pretty small, maybe 10-15%. The advertisement was about as clean as it gets, the complete opposite of misleading.

So then I tried to build my own landing page to increase my margins, and the landing page was definitely misleading. It told the visitor that they were signing up for a game that did not exist on the actual site. The demographic is 100% the same and I'm sure the majority of those users went on to play games on the site, but that's not the point. I ran $62 worth of that ad. The leads that came from that ad were 2% of the total leads I sent to the offer.

I wouldn't even argue about not getting paid the $100 that ad made. I was told I would not be paid any of the revenue on the offer. Considering my overall ROI for the offer was about 15%, that's a decent hit. Here's the thing, I offered both NB and the advertiser not only screenshots of the ads, but to go on my fb ads account. I told them they can check for themselves where 98% of the leads came from, and how clean those ads were. They never did. I've also been with the network for over 2 years and made a decent amount with them over the years.

What's your opinion? Should I have been paid the 98%? Or at least covered for my expenses on it?
 


As long as you've got some compelling way to show what percentage of the traffic was legitimate, of course you should. Or better yet, the dates. Though I'm sure they have access to your referrers anyways(unless you stripped em), in which case they'd know all this already.
 
if you ran any incent traffic to the offer that wasnt supposed to be incent then you deserve not to get paid because you're retarded. if not, i don't really see what the problem is with a misleading landing page considering pretty much everything in this industry is misleading. of course i'm not the one who's signing your check ;)
 
I agree with Shady that you should be paid for the quality traffic.

However- you are going to have a major battle with the Advertiser. It seems to me that most Advertisers take full advantage of charging back any leads whatsoever. They have their TOS to back it up as well.

Do let us know how it goes and will you post the offer?

no incentive traffic whatsoever. simply advertised them as having a beta for a popular game that doesnt exist on their page.

revice, the offer is a somewhat popular gaming offer available on 2 networks. nicky (and his blog readers) knows the offer better than most ;)
 
I have a question about incentivised traffic.

If I have an lp that says vote for either a or be and you could win a prize.

When they vote they are redirected to my cpa offer for a free iphone or some shit.

Is this incentivising the offer?

oh..well i think you should be paid then. i don't remember the terms for that offer having any such restrictions. they may have changed since i ran it, and again, i'm not the person signing your check so...

No you're not. Since you're not providing them with anything in return for completing the lead.
 
Should have asked your AM first if the landing page idea was going to violate their TOS. But that sounds like bullshit, they should still pay for majority of it that was from clean fb ads.
 
NeverBlue seems to continue to just ignore me and this issue. The post has been up almost a week, and still no response? Given their reputation in the industry, I wouldn't have expected this from them. Still waiting for a response...
