LI Disapproval with Dating Campaign (12)

LI Disapproval with Dating Campaign

So I setup my first PPV campaign on LI and just received an email disapproving my keywords saying:

One or more of your keywords were disapproved for the reason(s) listed below.

Campaign: XXXXXX
Landing Page: XXXXX
- Due to our direct relationship with this client, we do not allow third parties to promote the offer.

wtf?!?!?!? I was trying to run a rotation between True.com and Richmen.com offers. Has anyone had this problem before? I'm direct linking by the way.

I contacted my AM at EWA, and he said this is news to him and never heard this before. He thinks it might be recent?

There are many offers that LeadImpact runs internally. The workaround is to make a lander.
I got the same error when I was trying to promote some credit report offers time ago, so its not something new.

So in essence we are competing with LI on certain offers?

Yes this is the famous LI stealing you shit stuff......they are the shadiest network around......so don't be surprised if you wake up one day to find your shit disapproved due to a "direct relationship" even after its been running for a month....this is the game they play......avoid putting logos from the offer on your lp and I have gone so far as to not turn on the link in cpvlab till shits approved....

And by turning off the link in CPVLab, what do you mean? What will they be reviewing when the link is off?

Also i pretty sure that LI will not allow you to rotate offers .

Has leadimpact been known to rip your campaigns? Not just disapprove your keywords, but just stop sending you traffic on a target all together?

@machete Just cloak the offer. Have your link in your tracking program set to something they like to see. When approved then swap back to your dl offer. You gotta be a step ahead of these bastards.

Anybody knows from which country the approval is working from?
