ShoppingAds Not Working For Me

Not sure what's happening with ShoppingAds, this is an offshoot of AuctionAds. No ads have appeared on my blogs for two days.

I've been to their website and even there, where they indicate there should be a 'live ad', there's nothing on display.

To check further I tried to create another set of ads to see what would happen. Where there should be a 'live ad preview' nothing appears.

Things like this annoy me. If there is a problem you would think a message would appear on their site or emails would be sent out to members - it's basic business manners. (Or perhaps this is all just happening to me!)

I didn't think much of AuctionAds and now I think even less of ShoppingAds. I'm about to remove all of their ads from my blogs.

Like probably many people I initially had an email from their president, Patrick Gavin, asking me to join ShoppingAds. Part of the email said:

'Mike, as a previous user of AuctionAds I wanted to send you a private invite to our new ShoppingAds product! ShoppingAds is a cost per click ad product powered by the major shopping comparison sites.

Now you are probably wanting to email me right back and ask, "Why should I try ShoppingAds when I had such hit and miss success with AuctionAds?" The answer is because ShoppingAds is a cost per click product with predictable earnings. So you send the traffic and get paid for every click! AuctionAds is a CPA (cost per action) product so earnings were very unpredictable for many publishers. Also, ShoppingAds is built on a very stable platform and the ads are serving lightning fast! '

I guess there's no lightning about at the moment.

Other than this it's been a good week blogging wise for me. I've received over $600 in payments i.e. cash into my bank. Also traffic for the week, as I previously mentioned, has been incredible - though it was all a bit of a freak - 40,000+ in a day! But I don't care how the hits arrive, I'll leave that to the purists.

Good luck,
Mike.
