Guess what happened? Magically once we switched the deal to the CPA package conversions were cut by 90% and player values went in the toilet. It was the same spots I had used with them before PLUS additional space and yet now they SWORE that the stats were correct and somehow my traffic had changed!!!!
To make a long story short I had to keep them up for six months LONGER then I should have just to satisfy the number of players they purchased.
Not exactly how it happened to me, but on at least two occasions after accepting upfront CPA payments, I mysteriously could not convert players. And it was very clear to me that I was being screwed, just as it was obvious to Professor.
Needless to say, I do not work with either of these South African-based organizations any more. Well actually, I don’t work with any operators any more in an active manner, but at an appropriate point in time I will resume marketing with only 4-5 operators in my portfolio.
