Got Banned from PropellerAds After 2 Days, “Phishing” Offers from Monetizer.com?

[popouille]

Hey everyone,


I’m still pretty new to affiliate marketing, and I wanted to share my recent experience with PropellerAds, not to complain, but to warn other beginners so they can avoid running into the same issue.


I did some research and didn’t find many people talking about this type of situation. At best, I came across one thread on a well-known blackhat forum and another on a different affiliate forum ,where the author actually got flamed by the admin for even bringing it up. On this forum, I only found a single thread discussing something similar.


In short, there isn’t much information out there.


I won’t share my private conversations with PropellerAds support — that’s not the point here — but everything I’m about to describe is factual.


And to be fair, even though I don’t agree with PropellerAds’ policy, I think the blame is shared equally between PropellerAds, Monetizer.com, and myself:

• PropellerAds for being inflexible and keeping the funds after the ban,
• Monetizer for failing to properly vet the offers promoted on their platform,
• and me, for being naive, lazy, and assuming that big, reputable platforms automatically provide
