Heads up on new Revcontent "Pending Overspend" thing (7)

---

Hey everyone,

I *believe* this is a new thing on Revcontent, as I had never seen it until this week, and I couldn't find any info on it on here or on MAD Society, so thought I'd leave a post for anyone else who experiences it and needs help.

Revcontent is obviously notorious for vastly overspending people's budgets if the targeting is incorrect.

I had 650$ spend on a 100$ budget due to my own fault in accidentally selecting every targeting option including push, and one gentleman I heard about through the grapevine had 12,000$ (yes thousand) spend on a 100$ budget in an hour or two (although this was of course credited back to him).

Likely as a result of this, I've been getting lots of my new Revc camps blocked and labeled as "Pending Overspend" for the last week, which I had never seen before now.

Usually this is if you include too many devices and/or geo's and/or targets, etc with a low budget.

In my experience the camp won't spend as long as that label is on it. Its just like 'frozen' despite having the ads approved.

It takes a couple days but I've found removing targets or geo's and narrowing down your overall targeting can it taken off, or just increasing your budget to something huge like 5000$ just to trigger it to come off, etc will get rid of it.

Or you could just re-upload an identical campaign with more narrower targeting and turn the original one off.

But yeah, slightly annoying but better than people experiencing massive overspend like that I guess.

If for some reason this is not new and I just never saw it before then my apologies, but pretty sure its new. Either way I couldn't find any info on it so wanted to make this post for anyone else's benefit in the future

Good info, thanks. I had an overspend just last week, luckily they refunded me.

I had a long talk with my rep and he said he's more than happy to review any new campaign before I put it live. Got a lot of good tips so far...I bet you guys can send over your new campaigns to your reps too

WOW, now that's a "Bit" over the line I have my experience with them too, but more in the line with their "standard" overspends of like $500 on $100 budget, but 12k I've never heard of

Thanks for the tip.

Who the hell deposits $12k at one go? lol

Could have happened to a bigger affiliate/advertiser who simply started a new campaign and revcontent overspent on it.
