Hi Guys,
Let me start by saying i always worked happy with Affiliaxe. But for the last months' my experience has changed rapidly! i would like to check if people have similar experiences.
I'm running multiple campaign's with Affiliaxe, my AM pushed the campaigns. And i started to promote them. I invested +xx.xxx $ in these campaigns.
Commissions getting in and get approved. At a certain moment ROI is over 250%. I'm happy so keep promoting the offers my AM suggested. After 4 month's payments are not being done by Affiliaxe and after 2 months all approved commission is GONE. Of course i'm in good and close contact with my AM. First he tell's me my traffic is not good enough or trusted. After sending prove on how i promote, we both agree the traffic was legit. He's telling me advertisers haven't payed them for the last 4 months. So there for i don't get my money.
There are 2 things that surprise me, and i'm wondering if you had experience with this as well:
1. Are you being pushed to run offers for advertisers who are not paying (Advertiser was a big SAAS provider)
2. Dod you had commission being approved and afterwards got's rejected
Do you guys have the same experiences? Any tips on what i can do?
My AM is not giving me response anymore btw.
I don't want to be negative about Affiliaxe, maybe it's all a mistake but i'm working on this with them for months and i don't get any response anymore which is suspicious in my opinion.
See Ya!
Affiliaxe is generally considered a legit network, but I think there was a similar thread about affiliaxe not that long ago. They also refused to pay the affiliate, accusing him of sending fraudulent leads, even though he purchased the traffic from a standard source. Not sure how it was settled in the end.
The key here would be, whether your AM approved the traffic and gave you the green to scale. In case we are really talking $xx.xxx I guess it should be the case. And in such case, you should be paid. Unless of course you've done something against the rules, which I have no chance to verify, so it's hard to take sides.
I don't understand why you would keep on sending traffic for 4 months if the payouts were not coming in, with that volume you should have been on weekly payments for sure. Or am I missing something here?
One way or another would like to see what the other side has to say in this.
Wow - sorry to hear!
I'll see if I could get someone from Affiliaxe to chime in, just to get their side of the story.
Not trying to add insult to injury at all - but I want to take this opportunity to warn all affiliates to NEVER let a network string you along with promises that they'd pay you "tomorrow".
If they miss a payment, cease all traffic until the money hits your bank account, before continuing to send traffic.
I'm not implying anything about Affiliaxe - this is general advice applicable to all networks.

Thanx friends!
Yup, weekly payments are better ;-) However, i'm not know with networks (except clickdealer) who does such a thing. Normally, run 1 month, then 1 month to approve sales, next month is payed.
We do mainly legit promotions, for instance hotel promotions. They approve when customer has visited the hotel.
I hope affiliaxe will give a response here (if they are available). As said i want to know if there are similar stories, i know about 2 extra now and also know people who don't have this issue. I don't want to place Affiliaxe in the wall of shame, since my previous experience was positive as well.
Thanx for replying btw!
Honestly I don't understand how this network is still around.
They must be BRILLIANT at keeping a good name while at the same time still getting away with stuff like this.
It's been going on for years. I don't use this word lightly but based on my own personal experience with affiliaxe, I consider them nothing else but a scam. Their AMs are probably some of the nicest and friendliest people ever, but once you're in the door there's literally a big "axe" hanging above your head waiting to terminate you.
My own experience with the affiliAXE was years ago.
Don't think I ever posted about it but reading your story brought back the memories.
I didn't lose that much money and figured the way they treated people would make them go out of business soon anyways,
but seems they're still doing it.
It's always the same: they send a canned response, keep your funds and no longer respond to your communication, at all.
Doesn't matter if you keep trying hundreds of times, you'll never ever get a response.
Personally I ran 100% clean and provided all proofs but that's exactly why they will never respond - because they are not able to justify their theft.
Their staff used to post a lot on here and I remember my blood boiling each time I saw their friendly and helpful posts because it just felt like a deliberate ploy to lure in new victims - just like they did to me back then, and many others. Here's an example: https://stmforum.com/forum/showthrea...Totally-unjust
Anyways, I guess I needed to vent my own frustration that I had build up over the years,
but no you are definitely not alone - just google "affiliaxe scam" and see for yourself.
OP:
Thats not exactly how things went down.
The advertiser complained about your traffic being fraud.
The advertiser blocked all payments to us because of you and your friends (not just for you, but for all our traffic).
You were paid for your traffic from our own pockets without getting it from the advertiser (not all of it, granted).
You lost us this advertiser (a big one).
You were blocked from quite a few other advertisers for fraud. Losing us a few other advertisers along the way.
Yes, you know of more affiliates that have the same issue. You are working with them, you sent the same traffic and even the same "proof" that your traffic is legit.
Mindfume:
I dont know who you are and what happened years ago.
Im sorry you had a bad experience but cant really comment on something that happened years ago without knowing more details.
You can contact me if you would like.
