Advertising.com Cancelled my membership

[ningaming]

after about 5 months of of working with advertising.com, they have cancelled my membership. We had pop ups, skyscraper, and regular banners dispersed throughout the network, and now they're giving us the boot. They say they emailed me, but I recieved no email...

They are giving my revenues...650,000 banner impressions, .45% CTR, and 25 dollars in revenue......bye advertising.com

That sucks, they didn't tell you why?

[ningaming]

This is what they "just" sent me. They say they sent me this a week or 2 ago, which they did not.


Dear Webmaster,

Unfortunately, your account, site id# (siteid #) has been identified as a
site which consistently is not earning enough revenue on a unit basis to
cover serving costs. Because of this, we are going to have to discontinue
serving banners to this particular site id at 5 PM EST Tuesday, May 21. If
you have other active site ids not specifically mentioned in this email or
any other emails you receive today, then you can be assured that they will
remain unaffected. You will receive all revenue for activity to date for
(siteid #).

As an alternative, we would like to invite you to become a member of our
WebSelect network . The Web Select Network is our fastest growing network,
and is available for website publishers who are interested in static ads
for their website. The available creative types include five to ten word
text links as well as various HTML banner sizes, and enables a publisher to
specifically select an advertisement which they feel is most appropriate for
their website . Please contact your Account Representative if you are
interested.

We regret any inconvenience caused you, and we look forward to working with
you as a member of the WebSelect Network.

I wonder how they determine a site earning revenue. We've had some buyers of CPA offers, we have pop ups, we have skyscraper ads....arggg....this angers me...

people told me they been serving cpa banners lately.. and you had 650,000 impress and only made $25? try focusin. I only displace like 5,000 impression and mad $1 that whole dollar!!! you probably would have mad $105 already with focusin.

BTW wer eyou hosting there banners on "http://www.nin-gaming.com"?

[ningaming]

hey,

yeah a majority of their banners are CPA, and very few are CPM..


the banners were running on www.nin-gaming.com and a few other hostees...why?

[Archbob]

CPA banners? That sucks, not even CPC.

cpa banner is good only if you get to choose them.

yeah tell me aabout it Johnny...i've got our old focusin banners up, but it looks like their all default to me....

[Johnny]

look for some banner to use.. cause 2/3 of the impress i get from focusin is all default. luckey i have that free dvd offer cpa as my default. and i get 10x more clicks than focus banners

same problem here, my default banner keeps showing up, and sometimes there's a popunder...

[Johnny]

find some other sponsor company to replace that default. i am using websponsor. that popup banner is making money for me. only .40 :( but i make 3x more than there banner

[ningaming]

pop ups are killer on users though, i get lots of complaints...so im still searching for a CPM to accept my gaming network (doubtful of course)

[Johnny]

froget it! cpm are almost dead. this is the age of popups. expecally if you don't use popups don't expect any sponsors. cause many won't go after games site. try cpa i guess.
