Thanks for the warning about Marketing Sherpa. I will avoid doing business with this company. I sure hope DJ gets the money they owe.

A similar kind oh thing happened to me recently where this network owed me over $2700 in payments. They didn’t pay me in time because the advertiser wouldn’t pay them, pick their calls or answer their emails. After much going back and forth with the network, they paid me out their pocket. In this case, it was the advertiser who was being a jerk. After all this drama, the advertiser came back to the network asking them to request me run traffic to their offer again. Now, I’m contemplating if I should give them my traffic.

Basically, sometimes you gotta watch out from there shady advertisers too.

Thanks for letting us know. I just posted a job offer for “payroll” on their site – must bring own capital. I wonder if it will really post…

Thanks for linking to the story!

You got my tone exactly. I practically pleaded with them to pay me so I wouldn’t go public. Of anyone, you’d think they’d be aware of the damage of WOM. I guess not.

We’ll see if I actually get the money. Who knows? For now though, I’m definitely moving to other affiliate programs.

Ah well.
