What happened with AdonNetwork?

Tried contacting a few reps from there but all their old emails bounced back, tried to sign up as a new advertiser and they removed their sign up and its just an email now.. no response back from them.. anyone can confirm they still running strong?

Thanks!

AdOn PPV traffic changed a lot from even just 6 months ago. Sometime before the start of 2013, or shortly thereafter, the quality of traffic from the "traffic for affiliates" tag went downhill drastically; almost to the point where it's now garbage. Before that you could bid $.0005 per/view on RON or other high volume URLs Like google.com, bing.com, etc., and you could get tons of high quality traffic that would at least break even right off the bat for almost any campaign. Yup you heard it right, you could get HIGH QUALITY CONVERTING traffic all day long for just half a cent per pop; run entry pops; run any type of offer, no cloaking necessary, etc.; seriously it was no mans land. Those were the golden days..... Around last fall I had a baller campaign running for a few months and then all of a sudden they stopped serving me traffic for no reason. Along with that I got many suspicious IP hits in CPV Lab from the same IP addresses. I think it might have been the publisher realizing that they were selling the traffic too cheap, or somebody in house that was up to no good. Anyways, after that I killed the old campaigns and set up new ones and they sent me junk traffic with the same bad referrers that I had previously weeded out. Then I tried their traffic a couple months ago with new accounts and it's now garbage. You can no longer weed out the non-performing subids by yourself; you have to email your rep; and also the traffic quality is no longer even halfway decent, not even when using the "traffic for affiliates tag." Maybe you want to throw $50 - $100 to see if they're any good; but I wouldn't waste my time there.......

Sorry for the long rant, but back to your main question, I still have an open account with them but it's set to inactive. I'm not sure what's going on with them these days but maybe somebody else who knows more can chime in? Also have your tried calling them? In the past they always picked up the phone when I called in.
