Offers don't work soon after being approved? - Any insight for me?
Recently i have been trying to run a few offers but days after or even the same day i get approved for an offer, the offer stops working or is no longer available. To begin with i thought it was me, but as it happened the 3rd or 4th time now i have realised i am doing everything right and that the offers just stop working on the ad network. I haven't been able to run a campaign because of this problem :/. if anyone has experienced the same thing and could perhaps give me some advice on what to do, perhaps i should change my vertical and move on from app installs to sweeps or something. This is getting frustrating now since i have created multiple sets of banners then to be notified or go to check the offer and it no longer links to the correct offer page. i'm trying to join other networks but they always ask what offers have you run or ask to see a landing page and i just tell them i haven't run a campaign or have a lander, it's a vicious cycle. If anyone has any advice or has experienced/experiencing similar problems as me i would love to here from you!
All the best,
Jack
These things do happen unfortunately, and especially often with mobile install offers, which tend to be short-lived. There are exceptions such as 360 Security, UC Browser, and DU Battery Saver, but for most CPI offers the best approach would be to test and scale quickly and make bank before the offer is pulled.
There are more stable niches such as antivirus where there will probably always be new offers to try when old ones are pulled. I guess it depends on individual preference and style. Speaking for myself, I prefer the evergreen niches. I came to this conclusion half a year back when I, like you, created a sh*tload of banners for several CPI offers for multiple geos for each offer, and had all offers pause on me after several days, before I could even finish setting up the test camps. I took that as a sign and started exploring other offer types and verticals. 
There are still lots of people doing well with app downloads though!

CPI offers tend to be a bit unstable.
Sweepstakes and Pin submits (for mobile examples) are pretty stable in that regard.
This sort of reminds me of running email offers in the past. At first they would convert but then it stopped.
I heard about scrubbing. Is this what's going on? Why would the mobile offers be pulled?
I think mobile app install offers are generally unstable from what i've heard, but i found that my offers don't seem to work even after setting up tracking and testing it through a vpn on my phone. The offer just doesn't seem to work, it's only worked once but after 1 day it was pulled, seems a little strange to me, but i'm moving verticle to sweeps soon so hopefully things might look up then.
