How to create landers for PropellerAds (9)
I have just created my first sweeps push campaign in PropellerAds, and I keep getting my campaigns rejected. At first, I thought the problem were my ads—I wasn't telling people they had won or anything like that as I know that's a no-no in PA. I kept changing my ads, until I realized that my problem were my landers. As it turns out, I'm using ripped landers with the Google logo, among other big brands.
I know PA is one of the best traffic sources, and they're quite strict, so I saw they don't allow this type of copyright infringement. What do you do when it comes to setting up landers for PropellerAds? Do you avoid logos, or do you have any other (white-hat) tactic to recommend?
Since I'm new to the CPA world, I'm still learning a lot about the do's and don'ts of this industry, so I'd appreciate any help. 
Propeller rejects are sometimes very odd (to use a nice word). Sometimes just mentioning the browser name on the lander can cause a reject. On one occasion I had a tiny little blue "f" on the bottom of the lander that they didn't like.
Though such "odd" rejects are quite annoying they usually do not happen too often. Could be that new trained staff is a bit over careful.
Using logos of big brand names is a different story. Nobody wants legal problems due to copyright issues. If you feel that you must use them just use different traffic sources that are more lenient. It could well help if you ask them how far/aggressive you can go.
Coming back to propeller:
Contact them via chat and ask why they rejected your lander. Then do adjustment. If they reject again... ask again or go for a less stressful traffic source.
Yeah, I realized that PropellerAds is a bit too harsh on its requirements, I didn't think about that when I created my landers. I guess that's a new learning right there. 
I have already changed the logos, removing all the known brands, so I think this time it will work. Thanks a lot, Lars
By the way, do you know if ZeroPark is this harsh?
Zeropark is wayyyy more lenient, as are most push traffic networks. Some of them don't even bother checking your landers at all. PropellerAds are definitely both the strictest, and also most inconsistent, that I've dealt with.
Beyond the advice you got above, one thing I'd say is for something that is borderline, or you think follows their compliance rules, just resubmit it immediately after the campaign rejection. There's very little consistency with their moderation, and I've had situations where I submit multiple identical campaigns for different geos/whitelist/blacklist/targeting only to see some approved and some rejected. Resubmitting solves the problem about half the time.
Thanks @bc_red. I agree 100%.
Here's what happened: I spent a lot of time making new fake brand logos, changing all the landers for one campaign. I reapplied, and once again, I got rejected. I asked the people there, and I was told it was due to the fact Chrome's logo showed up in one of my landers. I took it out, reapplied, and got approved.
Here's the fun thing: I sent the second campaign—similar offer, same geo and aff network—and even though I only changed one lander—the one with Chrome's logo—the other landers that showed Google's logo got approved! So yes, I learned a lot here:
- PropellerAds is harh, but inconsistent.
- Be careful with the brand's logos with them.
- Ask when I get rejected too many times.
- Don't spend so much time changing things until I ask.
I'm loving all these learnings
It's definitely inconsistent, I've also noticed the same landers that used to sometimes get rejected a few weeks ago now work fine.
To be honest, I never made fake logos in my whole life.
My landing pages are mostly not customized around the product I promote anyway so before I use fake logos I rather use landers that look somewhat like big and trusted websites.
You make a good point, @twinaxe. Since PropellerAds didn't allow any big brand logos, I had to take them out. I just had to add a logo there, given the copy of the lander. In any case, it didn't take me more than 10 minutes, and I guess it's an angle I want to tackle. It may work, or not.
According to our Policy rules, the use of logos of famous brands on the landing pages is not allowed.
