AdPaid Is Garbage

[cunhaent]

Do NOT Join AdPaid.com. As I am somewhat new to this I am still learning the ropes. AdPaid.com Canceled my account, gave me no reason or opportunity to correct any mistakes. I had over 100 credits And $.15 Cash. They offer stingy payments and their gold membership is annual instead of lifetime. This Program requires too much time for too little pay and they'll cancel your account without reason.

seems like alot of sites are like that my friend sorry to hear it. I do recommend a real honest webmaster and he runs a ptr. check out http://www.quest4emails.com

This website owner i know personally and is a hell of a nice guy and he answers peoples emails.

"Members: 625
Total Redeemed: $422,497.76"

Uhm. If that number is correct... That's about 670$ per person.. harhar? I'm thinking the 422,000 might gold or something? :alien:

Excuse me?

From the site:
May 2nd: AdPaid has been awarded the prestigious Platinum BeenPaid Seal of Approval award in honour of its achievements as a verified paying program that has been online for longer than one (1) year.

April 30th: AdPaid voted Top 3 Paid To Read Program for Five Months @ GetPaidForum.

AdPaid has paid me twice, both times within 24 hours, and is one of the best programs I've ever had the honor of being a part of. It's one of the few solid, honest programs out there. If you were deleted, I am 100% sure there was a good reason. Maybe you should try asking the owner for the reason.

And barcoded, I think you must be thinking of another site, because AdPaid has paid out $41,868.86 in cash (and about $1700 in redemptions).

[bluedahlia]

Definitely one of the best. I was paid 5 times in a matter of hours. A very fast earner. Contact the owner.

I think barcoded was referring to the quest4emails site. Anyways, AdPaid is a very good paying program, I've been paid 13 times, all within a few hours of requesting. So I would advise you to contact the owner, he is very nice and understanding and has always answered my questions promptly. If you're not from a search friendly country or don't have search checked in your interests, then that might explain why it takes so long for you to earn.

quest4emails was just bought by a new webmaster, as the old one was going under. He is working to pay the members that were oweed by the old one. He is trying to revamp his site, just give it some time to evolve with the new owner.
He has been a excellent webmaster. A email he wrote me.

Hi James,
Thank you very much. I will not share the <edited> or tell you brother. Thank you again.You will notice that I rarely post, it's because I hate some of the idiots on all forms.
The only forms I'm active on are a few private forms when they were up and running, but most of them have moved to private channels on IRC now.
I was a little pissed off that they <edited>. I'm still trying to decide what to do about that. I told my wife about it last night, and she said " Well, this is why most of these people have businesses on the net and could not run one in real life."
I had to agree with her.

If you ever need anything I may be able to offer you, please do not hesitate to ask. I will put a list of the sites I own at the bottom, and I have 2 dedicated servers (soon to be one) at 1&1. If you need web space it's your.
Just to warn you that at some times they get bogged down a bit but not very often.
I am replying to you with my personal email address, you are welcome to email me at it. You can still reach me at Support@Quest4emails.com.



This guy the real deal. Hella of a nice guy.

I'm confused...how does Quest4Emails relate to AdPaid?

I'm confused...how does Quest4Emails relate to AdPaid?


It doesnt ...LOL>> MOneyman found himself a "buddy'>>> a guy who took on a failed little ads only site and has some vague plans to make it a cash site..with a $15 payout etc...

so now moneyman...or whoever...is putting that into every post....the wm of quest "agreed' with moneyman and has added a warning to his tos for cheats...so they dont Pick silly interests'

JMO>>> that site needs a lot more cleaning than just interests...betcha by golly an invisable link would be interesting there

frankly no one likes to admit it but any site that allows totally international members better be totally UP on their cheat catching game

I got sick of it myself, so my site is limited..period

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< as for ad paid?? I have heard good things about it....I hope they get an answer but it probably is not one they will like...most good programs do NOT want to get rid of good members....period

we only want to get rid of the cheats/potential cheats

I dont know much about adpaid..but to say it is "garbage" only makes the OP sound foolish...ad paid pays people, many praises, I have some members who run ads for it...I am anxious to see why the OP was deleted...I am pretty certain there is a good reason

This Program requires too much time for too little pay and they'll cancel your account without reason.I think you're way off on this one. It's been voted by general PTR users as one of the best programs over and over again. If your accounts was cancelled, you most likly did something wrong! Clicked a cheat link or signing up with bogus interests are the most common errors of course. Also if your e-mail for some reason bounces, you're deleted without question, not even oper for discussion.

[cunhaent]

To clarify my initial post. I sent an initial request as why my account was suspended. No Reply. Sent a second request when the login in was no longer available. The WM finally replied with the following Email:

I regret to inform you that your AdPaid account has been terminated for
material breach of our terms.
Please see: http://www.adpaid.com/ptr/pages/terms.php

Typical reasons for account termination include, but are not limited to:

Clicking on anti-fraud links
Using anonymous or open proxy internet connections
"bouncing" of emails back to us
Duplicate accounts
false account details,
attempting to join more than one paid to sign up offer per day
Not selecting correct Turing numbers during Turing checks,

or any type of activity deemed to be inappropriate or illegal by AdPaid.com

AdPaid members are paid to Read eMails and Visit websites of paying
advertisers.

We are obliged to protect the interests of AdPaid, its Members, and
Advertisers.

This decision is final and we will not enter into any further
correspondence regarding this matter.

Yours,
Marty

As you can see I still DO NOT KNOW why I was canceled. I was given no opportunity to correct my mistakes (if I knew what they were) As someone just learning the ropes of PTR and PTC, I can accept the fact that I might have made an error somewhere along the line. I just don't know what it was. And then to be told that the decision is final without providing corrective measures. It's kind of like punishing a kid without telling them why they are in trouble. The harshness of the above e-mail is what really set me off combined with the lack of desire to help me understand and correct my mistakes.

[torsverre]

I'm really sorry for you if you were wrongly deleted in this case. There is of course no way for me to know that. The Terms of Service for AdPaid (which you of course read before you signed up) clearly state the info you also recieved in that mail. Maybe you should just count yourself lucky that they actually bothered to reply? I don't think they just delete people for one tiny offence, and in any case I hardly think they have the time to answer every single person who is caught cheating about why they were cancelled, 'cause I suspect that involves quite a few individuals on a daily basis.

Now since you were a newbie (as you say), wouldn't it be an idea to check around a bit about them first, and maybe realizing that you probably were at fault, instead of crying wolf and posting to have them boycotted? E.g. all the "been paid" and "good program" posts right here in this forum. Just a thought.

[hazard351]

I've heard a lot of good things about AdPaid and most of the people here speak very highly of the site.

However, the same thing happened to me, I'd only been a member for two days and hadn't earnt anything worth worrying about, so I didn't bother to find out from the WM what went wrong. I, like you have no idea why my account was removed, I assumed I screwed something up myself and didn't worry about it. I've been a member of some other similar sites for months and never had any problems.

Interesting.

Ideally you can get a "reason">> I work hard to provide reasons, keep the hall of shame updated..tho right now mine is down cause my host updated my php and the version is not compatable with the script so I am waiting on a fix and tech help

the one thing people dont realize is tho...is how very hard it is to manage a site like this when the membership rises....the cc script is really hard to work with, for instance, I would love a plug in that would simply allow me to save a database/spreadsheet of deleted members with their reason

sometimes to delete people for "cheat links" for instance, we have to go thru 3 screens per person just to delete them....then go thru another screen to copy/paste and add them by hand to hall of shame...most sites dont even pay for the hall of shame so they have to add each to some other list, very difficult

members could make it easier by actually reading the rules of the sites and following them? wm should be able to go the extra mile and report why the member was deleted ....

it is a two way street....and it is not made any easier by the actual limitations of the script that we work with :(

I am looking/talking with script writers about a "delete" plug in..one that would save the delete info into databases, that could then easily be posted....no more struggle by "hand"...no more "lost" or "why deleted" problems....anyone with ideas on this, feel free to PM me

the real truth?? good, cool, members are the norm..99% are good
or maybe..99.9% LOL
mostly good

[torsverre]

the real truth?? good, cool, members are the norm..99% are good Glad to hear that! :D

I have some education in PHP, but I've never even looked at the CC script. If it's well enough documented it shouldn't be much of a problem to "hack" in the options you want though.

[Bystander]

I've been paid a total of $40, since joining in November. Never had one problem with this program, or it's owners.

The TOS is laid out. The FAQ is clear. The support staff have never been anything but helpful and polite.

From time to time there are cheat links. So far I've not hit any. There are turing numbers spaced through the emails. At one time, I had a problem with not seeing them too well, believed I hit a wrong number, and immediately wrote. I was assured that my account was safe, thanked for emailing, and not too long a time later, the turing numbers and the linked numbers below were raised in size.

They do send a standard "form" letter in answer to "why was I deleted" emails. More often than not, it is because of a wrong turing number (X amount of times wrong), being from a non-search area, clicking cheat links, or using bots.

They also do not delete anyone just for disagreeing with them.

My assessment: Even though Jeffry acts nutty on some forums, the program itself is well run, sustainable, pays very quickly, has NO rant emails, good support, and will stand the test of time.

Thank you.
