Popads Status is Suspended (18)

---

Hi, i created my popads account and got approved. When i made a deposit of $10, my status shows that i'm suspended. Any reasons why that's reflected and why am i suspended?

Here's what's written on their transaction page

Additional deposit rules: In case we detect exploits/viruses on one of your landing pages or you already had another account banned for buying traffic exploits/viruses at PopAds, your account will be suspended and you will not be entitled to a refund.


Thanks
Shane

"In case we detect exploits/viruses on one of your landing pages or you already had another account banned for buying traffic exploits/viruses at PopAds, your account will be suspended and you will not be entitled to a refund." lol

Reach out to your AM if you feel they are wrong regarding virus?

Hi Stickupkid, yeah i've emailed them on this and what can i do to rectify it. Funny thing is that they sent an earlier email saying that my ad is approved but when i log into my account, my ad is reflected as paused due to an insufficient amount and my status on the billing page is still suspended.

Looks like the $10 starter amount may not be enough. I hope that's the only issue and topping it up will fix this.

What kind of campaign did you run?

Maybe the offer domain was flagged or they got georedirected to a smartlink or so that triggered a warning.
When such things hapen for completely new accounts it can results in a ban.

But I hope you can get it solved.

Hi twinaxe, thanks for helping me out. Here's an image of the campaign i'm running. I'm following the $1 guide created by vortex.

---

Ok, when you direct link to the smartlink then it´s probably nothing on your end and unluckily then there´s not much we can do.

In the end only Popads can tell you about the exact reason.

Did you receive a reply to your email already?

Would be great when you could keep us updated about it.

---

Hi twinaxe, yes 2 representatives from popads emailed me.

One said that my account had insufficient funds. I guess the $10usd to start with may not be enough, so i asked what's the amount that i should increase to?

The other person asked for details like

1. Can i supply an associated email address
2. Which country i'm from
3. If i have any corresponding website URL that i can send them

I've replied with my best answers possible and waiting for his reply.

Thanks for the update.

Although I don´t really understand what it has to do with viruses/exploits it seems that a solution for the issue is possible.

I keep my fingers crossed that you can start the party soon

Hi twinaxe, i've got good news! I'm now able to edit and input a figure into the budget field box which i've done by adding "3" suggested by the $1 guide. I've also increased my daily budget to "6" and started running the campaign! All is good now and my campaign in running.

I've already started reading up on the 40 day tutorial and will start very soon. There's currently a discount on Voluum priced at $69/month. I think it was $99/month

I'll sign up for Voluum really soon once i'v gone through the 40 day guide. Thanks for following up with me twinaxe! It's much appreciated

In THIS post I wrote a bit about trackers, if you want to you can also check FunnelFlux and Binom.

FunnelFlux has a $1 trial for first month, Binom has a live demo and 14 days free trial so can be worth to check them as well.

---

Hi twinaxe, i've already signed up with Voluum for their $69/month package. Guess i'll go with that first and learn how to utilize it. Thanks for the post reference, i'll read up on it

Nice start Shane! Any updates on progress?

By the way: I hope you're not planning on using Voluum to run large volumes of traffic to this push smartlink. Once you exceed the number of events covered by your current tracker subscription level, you'll be hit with "overage" charges which will significantly/totally eclipse any profits you make from this method - unless you have very good optimization skills and/or know where to buy extremely cheap traffic.

Voluum is great as a tracker, but just not for this particular campaign model. If you're wanting to test trackers for promoting this push smartlink, your best bet would be a self-hosted tracker. Even then, I'm not sure how much the cost of tracker license + server would eat into your profits. But it would at least be a more hopeful arrangement than using a cloud-based tracker that charges by event.

Hi Amy,

Thanks for taking time out from your busy schedule and reaching out to check on my progress Yes i've already opened my account with Voluum and created my first campaign but sadly it was rejected by propellerads, reason being it violated one of their rules which i wasn't aware of.

I've so far received tips and advice from STM as well as staff at Mobidea on how to proceed with future offers. I'm really grateful for the help i'm receiving and will continue ahead!

I'm still wrapping my head around the whole process and piecing them together but i'm getting the hang of it. I'm in this for the long haul! 'll update my progress soon Thanks again Amy!

Sorry to hear that but don´t just accept the rejection.

You are just at the beginning of your journey and can´t know everything and from what you post here I don´t think you made something bad by purpose but rather by accident.

Send them an email or a PM here on STM and tell them about the situation.

I keep my fingers crossed that it can be solved.

---

Hey twinaxe, thanks for the encouraging words! You're right. I really didn't know that i did something to violate their terms and conditions and definitely wouldn't want to repeat anything like that again. This is why i'm being very careful this time round when i create another campaign for submission. I wouldn't wanna piss them off by sending another campaign for review just to be rejected again because of another violation.

I'll write to them and inform them again that i'm a new member of STM and require a bit more time to acquire the needed knowledge to set up campaigns well. I'll also ask them if there's anything i can do to salvage the rejected campaign. I'll keep my message to them polite and brief

Shane

---

But what I don´t get, was the campaign approved already and then suspended later?

Or was it rejected right from the start?

Maybe I also misunderstood you, was only the campaign rejected or did you get rejected by Propeller altogether?

---

It was rejected like a couple of minutes later. I looked into the data and it had 20 clicks. None of my budget was consumed though.

I just had a text conversation with one of their representatives and he didn't say anything about rectifying the campaign but he did send me a couple of links to assist me with my learning. These were mainly case studies which he feels will be very helpful to me.

I was appreciative of what he sent because i suppose that it will help me to improve and progress. I think my next step is to avoid directlinking and create pre-landers as part of the campaign.

Do you have any tools that you can recommend for creating pre-landers? I have a lot of reading and learning to do but i also wanna get started with running campaigns and using Voluum to get some decent experience under my belt. Can't wait to get started

Shane

---

Yes, pre landers can definitely help.

For better performance but also to have more control over the funnel.

A good editor, I use Sublime Text for it
