POF spy tool (6)

POF spy tool

When using the Affexpert POF spytool, I have come across a couple of dating ads that link to a nice lander. But, the lander links to a merchant page for garcinia cambogia weight loss product, offering a free sample. One ad has days seen 81 and total days 209. One would think this campaign is profitable based on how long it has been running/seen. Has anyone run this type of bait and switch campaign on POF with success? Is this allowed by POF? What's the difference between "days seen" and "total days" with the spytool?

Any help would be appreciated.

Perhaps this is happening because the original dating offer is no more available, and the traffic is now redirected to another offer.

How long ago was it showing?

If you haven't set a specific date range in the spy tool, you could be looking at a lander that was running years ago.

The date range is 1-1-14 to 7-29-14. I noticed the "days seen" and "total days" don't match. Does that mean the ad ran for awhile, then it was stopped and resumed at a later date?

That's interesting. The traffic must be profitable with the garcinia cambogia product sales. Otherwise, why not choose another dating offer? Apparently, POF is ok with the current setup.

Yep it means that it was showing for some days and then stopped.

Looks like a winning campaign.
