Well its happened again, Facebook shut down the ads for Auctions and penny auctions, without notice, without reason, but shit howdy we all know the reason.
Jesse Willims again by the way he markets, charges and handles customers has brought the heat again, and all because he is what he is. But hey, we all like some cash, but at what expense. Again where were the networks on this one, Oh i forgot they were at the bank getting some cash on the $100CPA that they made for destroying yet another business model, Thanks!
When are people going to walk away from the quick buck? When will they decide that running a single offer from someone known to blow it up isn't really worth it.
I still wonder how long this guy is going to be around. However I can tell you this, that this time around the Attorney Generals will be coming after the networks, and Jesse has made sure that he is protected but have the networks running his offer!
People need to understand that running these types of offers from this type of person not only hurts the industry its in, but hurts ours as well and brings heat to affiliates and networks and good advertisers. There are plenty of good auction sites out there that do not charge the customer upfront a one time fee of 150 bucks. Let the consumer decide the pack he wants to buy and make your commission.
Interesting news. Do you have a source for this?
ReplyDeleteI do know that his offer and advertisements were 80% of the ads running in that space. As of about 11:30 this morning all networks and affiliates had all Ads terminated per section 5 of the Facebook Terms.
ReplyDeleteI personally tried to get a response and was told by an affiliate manager that they had received over 1000 complaints about one advertiser and that there was no way that penny auction ads would ever be run again, at least not in the near future.
Again this is a case of one advertiser that has ruined an opportunity for other companies doing business right. Not only that but others who use an upfront fee that exceeds 20 dollars and is not disclosed properly are popping up all over the place.
Do you have any information or an opinion on whether there is any connection between the huge security dust-up yesterday on Facebook and the advertisers in question?
