I recently started promoting a Clickbank product with a direct link on a media buy. No deceptive landers or ads were used but found my ads were going to a blacklist page today. I had two decent revenue days and today I see this. My refund rate is rated "very good" and have been really low overall.
I noticed at least one of my ads was stolen and running on the main site I was running. I will say I have tested with other ads that I stole or changed up a little which I found in Adbeat.
The only thing I can think of is that the product owner or another aff somehow got me banned once a profitable placement was discovered. Has anyone dealt with this issue before and know the best way I should handle it?
Well I guess it wasn't worth their effort. Pretty shitty if you ask me.
Update: I sent CB another email and they ending up contacting the vendor. He claimed I was running "his" ads and "running on his backend traffic source" lol. Now that I knew it was the vendor for sure, I sent CB a link to his affiliate resource page which has all the banners he provides for affiliates and asked why I couldn't run the ads that actually convert. That was enough for CB to give me his email which has his full name and marketing domain and try and talk it out. No response so far but after a little pushing CB did pretty awesome on this. Still weird to think a vendor would run you off for making him money. Lesson learned and I will be blanking referrer on everything after this experience.
Hey leeches, def a good idea to blank no matter what you do. It is logical for the vendor to jack your profitable campaigns and run them on their own. I think this happens everywhere so protect your sources. Luckily there are 13,500+ other clickbank products to choose from
