Date Connected scrubbing - list of offers

SO basically after seing some extremely strange drops over 3 days in CR rate for find me love which is by the mentioned advertiser, I decided to give it a try 2 days ago.

I signed up through a fresh server never used before on the network used for Date Agency, another brand by this advertiser. Email step confirmed, got my confirmed profile on Date Agency.

Now the funny thing is, the conversion never got credited. Total clicks delivered on that day was around 50, 2 LPs used with a CR of 0% (LP CTRs 55% / 60%).

So here's a list of the offers that (in my opinion, due to my test confirmed) scrub:

Find Me Love
Date Agency
Rude Finder
Flirt Crowd
Rude Finder
Just Hookup
Date First

Here's another review of the program: http://www.scaminformer.com/scam-rep...om-c20729.html

Feel free to share experience with that advertiser or if you experienced different.

Yeah, they're notorious for it.

I still run their offers. I just don't pay for the traffic.

They've been converting fairly stable for me lately, but I notice 2-3 day stints where the CVR just drops off the radar completely. Nothing you can do about it.

+1 for findmelove and date agency.

Isn't there a way to prevent this by now? Can something be implemented in the tracking software so scrubbing is not possible? +1 for Just Hookup scrub.

Don't get me started. It's crazy, but when we have high quality pubs running, things are extremely stable for them. "Low quality", things aren't always pretty, but I believe we do a good job keeping them in check.

It's on their end unfortunately. +1 for them...

It's actually unimportant what you mentioned here. If 50 clicks don't deliver a sign up and you sign up from a legit US IP that was never used before on the network running with and even confirm the e-mail and it's not credited, it's scam. The subid was tracked in the network but the paid action not credited.

Don't understand your logic behind that post to be honest.

you can avoid the issue....just don't run the offers. If enough followed suit, the advertiser would get the hint.

Ditto. JustHookUp's scrub is absolutely RIDICULOUS. You will know when they turn it on.

My theory is that offers like JHU scrub like that because they dont need affiliates to a big extent.

They leave you without scrubbing 2-3 days , check traffic quality , if bad they ask you to stop.

If good , they start scrubbing and find out where you running and just go there and buy direct.

I think at this point they buy most of traffic internally.

And that's only going to get more common, uh?

We've been able to secure desired EPCs for our affiliates on all of the JustHookUp offers.

And I've been able to don't get a legit signup (confirmed e-mail) and even a paid membership credited as a lead.

When you guys say they are scrubbing, how does it show up? I'm doing low volume on a couple of these offers (no longer, though) and I've literally sent a few hundred clicks between three of them and gotten very few conversions. I don't think the scrubbing would be so extreme as for my average CR to be 1.5% considering my volume, and I'm thinking it's more an issue with the traffic I'm sending to them. I know there's a couple guys doing at least a couple hundred a day with RudeFinder, for example. Is this a reasonable assumption, that I'm doing a poor pre-sell? Or is it really that bad?

... Expecting the Angry Russian to drop in and yell at me, after his post on networks and scrubbing

Am I crazy to think that the same people own the MyPCBackup offer? I know it's not dating but their logo/site layout looks pretty much like JHU.

Anyone know if they own it?

1) A sudden drop from 18% CR to 0% in 1 day after running a couple of days.
2) Email confirmed account not credited as paid action (unknown US based IP used, never used on the network before)
3) Paid account not credited as paid action
4) Several guys experiencing this with the advertiser

I've wondered the same thing as well. If they do own both, then these guys are rocking it.

They do own both.

JDI Dating LTD owns all the Date-Connected offers. JDI Dating themselves are owned by UK-based JustDevelopIt (http://www.justdevelop.it)

JustDevelopIt also happens to own MyPCBackup.com, JustCloud.com, and a bunch of other offers.

So yes, they are one and the same.

no wonder that MyPCBackup scrubs like hell too..haha..i wouldn't run traffic with them

07-30-2012 08:31 PM #21 shhhant (Senior Member)

Knew it!

They should be called JustScrubIt.

Anyone run offers from Justdevelop.it recently? They own website builder, and a bunch of other products like it. They haven't paid me for almost 2 months. Just wondering how big of scammers these guys are.

Thanks
