Removed By Shopping Ads
Posted by Mitch on Feb 3, 2009
And just like that, no notice at all, here’s news from Shopping Ads:
02/02/2009 We apologize, your account has been removed from our affiliate network.
Do NOT contact support.
They are not capable of restoring your account.
[No earnings for all of January]
02/02/2009 ShoppingAds is now a closed network.
Due to little or no earnings your account has been removed.
We will attempt to pay for any last revenue you may have after our next payout date.
Thank you!
Well, that’s a fine how-do-you-do, isn’t it? Not like I made much money off them, as you saw my January report, and I’ve never made a dime off them, so I’m not close to being upset. I only noticed that there was this big empty spot on the blog that I wasn’t sure what had been there, and that’s the message I got.
So be it. As you see, I’ve replaced that block with something else; anyone need any chocolate for Valentines Day? lol
Good thing I was paying attention, eh? Oh well,…

I’m confused as to whether they just closed your account or if they closed the business? If it was just your account, like your earlier post on others (Brookstone?) doing that, it makes no sense. I can’t see any cost to keeping it open, and there is always the potential.
Anyway, in the face of stuff like this, your January improvement looks even better.

Dear T. T. Mitchell,
ShoppingAds is undergoing a revamping and in the process has redefined the requirements of quality and traffic volume for the publishers we work with. Due to this restructuring, we regret to inform you that we have had to deactivate your account moving forward. If you have remaining earnings in your account from your last payout. You needn’t worry- you WILL be paid on or after our next payout date, March 1st, 2009.
Thank you kindly for your cooperation, and good luck with your future marketing endeavors.
The ShoppingAds Team.
Weasels.

Whenever one of us in the group makes a new post, we, as a group, have agreed to give some credibility to that post on one or more of the social media web sites. This either by way of a save, digg, clip, etc., and sometimes a comment on those social web sites. All this social activity by our group serves to increase search engine visibilty and rankings, which in turn means that our posts receive greater attention by people outside our group (i.e. traffic).
Every time I post, I get more social activity and visibility – more visibility = more traffic = more visibility
