Affillion

While I hate to write a negative review about a network, I feel that there needs to be a warning on this. Our network applied to this one, we stated VERY clearly that we ONLY advertise using Social Media & Incent Methods. We even sent them a email to confirm they were aware of this. Most of the offers we were running required manual review & approval, so its not like we were trying to pull anything on anyone.
On saturday we sent an email making sure that they were aware we ran social media & incent only camapigns. we received a response in 2 minutes, which is great!
here is the email we sent & response we received:
wow we are sad to hear that but yes we maintain quality

control on all of our offers and run this company with integrity

if you need anything else let me know also if you ever have

a question about an offer please reach out

Now ALL we were running were campaigns that were EMAIL submits & social Media or Soft Incent allowed campaigns that we were MANUALLY approved for!!!!
On our network we have policies in place to keep issues from becoming problems, & most networks DO NOT treat you like this, and we have been working in affiliate marketing for 4 years. We asked them what the problem was & given this for a response:

so we are talking about over $400 worth of leads on 46 DIFFERENT campaigns, we are not having quality issues with our traffic from any of our other networks that we are running similar campaigns for.

so my advice to anyone who uses SOCIAL MEDIA or SOFT INCENTIVE advertising methods, DO NOT USE THIS NETWORK, they will allow you to earn money, then send you an email & state that ALL YOUR TRAFFIC IS FRAUDULENT & deactivate your account.

But if you are advertising using conventional methods, this may be the network for you, they have incredible rates that are almost 3X the industry standard!!!! Which is TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE!!!

Worst Network Ever! Made $900 bux and they never paid it! Wouldn’t even respond on Skype

I am waiting for a payout again for last week income after seeing on their updates that last weeks income has been [aid out already. but I think my account was mislooked. I tried to skype jared since yesterday but no response from him up to this point. Hope to get in touch to any of their AM.

Hello, I'm sad I have to post this, but I have been promised by my AM Brottany, that I'll be paid on month end of May, but up to now I have not been paid..

I have been waiting for a payout from a net15 offer for 18 days, I think this has been due to a payment tracking error, when do you think I will get it?

Steve

I am posting here just for clarification to when is the date of my payout. I know that these offers I promoted are net 15 but 15 days has already passed when I promoted the offers and it is still unpaid.

I also have an unpaid balances from them. They used to pay me weekly and as weeks goes on the payment comes late always. As you can see they have 2 unpaid balances on my account. Sometimes it comes to my mind that they are scam but with previous payments I just think that they overlooked my account.

affillion are liars they say to do one offer that pays monthly then they never they scammed me for $600 ken says they will pay for sure however still no payments all I get is I am waiting for when we get paid which means a 5th grader can start their own affiliate company stay away from these guys their email submits shave hardcore

Hi,

I applied to be accepted into Affillion a few days ago, but I have had no reply as of yet.

I understand you will be very busy, but I would really like to get started.

Thanks

Sven

Although I also hate to leave a negative review but it is already 2 months that my account has not been paid. Affillion changed the password of my account and say that they will return it when I send my traffic sources. So I gather my traffic sources from my adwords since I was using a PPC campaign. Then after I gave that to them they are not responding anymore to my emails. I paid for my PPC campaigns but got nothing in return because affillion not paying it out.

The support has not responded to any of my messages for a 3 weeks. I do not know why.

It has been 2 weeks already and my earnings for that week has not been paid. Before Ken said that all US-Email submits offers are weeklies then last week he told me that the offer I run under US-Email submits are bi-weeklies. That is ridiculous.

Then I waited and up to now he said the advertiser is not replying. Well that is completely insane. You have put an advertiser to your network that you cannot contact? It has been a week already that the advertiser was checking for the quality of the traffic and no report yet. All I can say is they cannot find any fault because the traffic is legit.

I have been with several networks also and this is my first time to experience a delay in payment.

I did not receive my payment from the last more than 2 months.First ken said payment of October will go out on the 15 November but they did not send it to me.When i ask again about my payment Ken said commission of October will go out at the end of November.Now December had been started but still i did not receive my commission of October and also of November.From the last 60 days i did not get paid from affillion.
I am also with several other networks and got my payments on time from them.But affillion is the only one who delay my payment and still waiting of my payment.

I just notice that these days Ken and Jared are not responsive anymore. What is happening with affillion. They are seems very different from what they are before.

Affillion was good while ago but now this network has some financial problems ....They were paid on time in the previous time and now Affillion is bad. They owe us for November + December and January 2013 is more than $ 780.
I have sent more than 10 emails to: (Jared Esguerra: jared@affillion.com; Kenneth METRAL: ken@affillion.com; Brottany Dawkins: Email: brottany@affillion.com) and add them on my AIM, but they did not answer email, not online and not pay us. Now they close their company and do not pay us. It's bad.
