Back to Business: Ad:tech and the Return of the Dark Knight

Well,

It was another wild and eventful Ad:tech.

Where as, most bloggers have already been posting up their party pics, who they met, where they ate.  etc. etc.

I have been deep in the trenches and getting the REAL speak on what is and is not in the Internet Marketing World.

And Folks… ITS CRAP!!!

The amount of stuff going on that is costing you money and the lack of recourse is startling.

I have posted many reasons why you may be suffering in online marketing or maybe you succeeded and then got ‘swat’ back down and now finding it harder and harder to get back on top.

I feel you.

And I am here to tell you the landmines out there (remember: landsmines are meant to be NOT seen and to cripple & maim, as well, as kill you!)

The 1st one I am going to tell you. Is your enemy is NOT the tracking, traffic, networks, banks, IRS, or FTC.

IT’s the damn offers you are promoting !!!

You would think they would want you to be successful.

Sorry, only in Berkley and Cuba does socialism exist.

They want to make money and if they can keep more to them-self.

THEY WILL!!!

How did we discover this ?

Well, After out great idea of the ‘PERFECT NETWORK’ (3rd party accounting verification & hardened credit card & bank wire level tracking)

We took the idea to the floor of Ad:tech.

Like we assumed.

Affiliates loved it and wanted to sign up right away. Even Networks wanted to know what and how and jump on.

Want to know who told us to F*off ???

The offers!!! ( I wont name names, since there is no way in hell I will go toe-to-toe in a slander suit with them)

They had no issue with hardened tracking, BUT when we mentioned 3rd party accounting so that affiliate, network AND offers knew that everything was legit.

They kindly told us to F*off.

There was no way they were going to let the outside world know what their real numbers were.

So Yes, networks scrub and shave.

Know why ?

Because offers, even well know brands, WONT PAY THEM !!!

I know 3 top name affiliate companies owed not thousands but multi-millions from offers that never paid them, BUT they paid their affiliates. (Thank You Azoogle, ads4dough, Neverblue, AKMG, Rev202, C2M, ECM, MaxBounty, Market Leverage, EWANET and anyone else still in business that has gotten screwed by your offers. They paid us EVEN WHEN THEY WERE NOT!)

So, the next time you want blame someone.

Start at the top!!!

I’m going to post all the info I discovered and verified at Ad:tech.

Hold onto your wallets and if your traffic isn’t profitable. Scale back or pause it. You WILL want to know these, BEFORE you spend more money and watch it go down the drain.
