IS a Azoogleads a scam?

**winder** · 02-16-2007, 09:48 AM

Hi all fellow internet marketers,

I'm wondering if any of u got this experience.I had sent 2 emails to them till now about site optimization and how to use the CPA to generate revenue but till now not even a single reply.:2guns:

I wonder if any of you face the same problem.:blink:

Sometimes i wonder if i'm alone:helpsmilie:

**Moelman** · 02-16-2007, 11:39 AM

I have only recently got accepted by them but I'm pretty sure its not a scam... They are widely known as one of the top CPA networks in the business.

Hi moelman,

try email them for support and advice and see if you have any reply.My a/c manager is mona i wonder who is yours.If yours reply maybe i i could join your affiliate manger.Thank you.

I've had no response to my emails either - and I've heard of plenty of others with the same experience.

I'm sure it isn't a scam as such, just poor support.

Azoogle is cool

If you don't earn like 10k per month, or sound like you don't exactly know what you are doing, they won't even bother to respond to your emails. I had Alex as a rep and he gave me horrible support, so I went with other companies. Unless you know exactly what you are doing, and earning a lot, I would suggest going with someone else.

That's strange, my affiliate manager, Angelo, is pretty nice, and I'm not making $10k/month or anywhere near that with Azoogle.

IM your affiliate manager or give 'em a call....

**one2** · 02-17-2007, 04:53 PM

The affiliate managers get a % of your earnings, so they cater to the ones who have the highest earning potential. They also seemed to have locked me out of my account without notice, and I had earned like $200.

If Azoogle is a SCAM, then we better all stop doing affiliate marketing... That's complete non-sense! Azoogle is one of the best out there in our industry.

**IsMaR** · 02-19-2007, 06:28 AM

wtf are you on crack?

**imported_Michel Z.** · 02-19-2007, 07:52 AM

I am using Azoogle for several years now besides other networks and had never any problem with them. All account managers I worked with are great and very helpful! It really doesn't matter if you earn small or bigger amounts...

Winder,

I worked with Mona as well! Do you have her AIM? If you need help, send me a pm and I will see what I can do for you!

Hi michel z,

Thanks for reply,i will pm you for help.I got a few questions that has been poping in my head.

1.)How can we truly tell how many conversions we have per day, since they are running the tracking services.

2.) we got paid for the installation of the various toolbars, what is the monetization model for the company paying for the installation of the toolbars.

3.) we got paid for the free laptop,free apple iphone etc... then who is paying for all these and what is the company monetization model behind all these.Is it for market research or for "something else" ?

Juz some thoughts ......hm.....

1.) First of all, I have good faith in my network... I look at how many clicks are needed to get a lead regarding their stats and if that is realistic. Ofcourse you can match those stats with your site stats or what your ppc engines show regarding clicks received that particular day when you doing ppc. For sure, there is all sort of tracking software in the market you can use for analyzing your stats, but I am not using those software at the moment.

2.) Those installed toolbars let people search for stuff from their browser, whereby they will see sponsored links. Those companies make money off those sponsored links!

3.) Yeah, email/ZIP offers give companies marketing information about their audience and probably collected emails will be used for email marketing later on!

Absolutely not a scam; I get direct deposits from them every 15 days, for a very significant amount.

1) You have no idea. All I care about is that a company pays me what they told me I made that day. None of this chitika, 90% "adjustment" at the end of the month. I pay for my traffic, I make adjustments to campaigns specifically based on what they say. They pay less, I send less (or no) traffic.

2) Toolbars are a gigantic business. From what I've heard Ask.com (which are responsible for all those smilies, cursors, and zwinky offers) bring in over $500 million a year of revenue just because of their toolbars. The user searches through the toolbar, clicks the ad, and makes money. Average yearly revenue for an install is something like $10 or $15.

3) Almost all email submits are incentivized offers. As long as they make more than they payout to you, they turn a profit. Its simply a way of attracting attention and traffic to an offer. If you look at the incentivized offers you'll notice the same things over and over again such as Video Professor. Easier to attract traffic with "Free iPod" than "Free Video Professor Movie", thus the advertisers allowing incentivized traffic chose to do so to get much higher traffic volume.

2) ****... I shouldn't hesitate to ask my AM for Smiley's increase! :yes:
3) You saying that affiliates can 'incentivize' most email offers OR that the advertiser made it an incentive offer for their own purposes?

**winder** · 02-20-2007, 10:25 AM

I'm lucky to have Angelo as my manager. Azoogle is def not a scam. They rock!!!!!

**Kfleming** · 02-26-2007, 06:17 PM

Azoogle Ads is one of the most trusted affiliate marketing companies, I have personally received tens of thousands of dollars from them and they always pay on time. Whenever I have had a problem it has been fixed extremely quickly.
