JuicyAds - JuicyPromo.com

[chucklesnorris]

I was a little surprised the other day when I went to one of my sites from another computer, clicked on one of my ads and up comes juicypromo.com - I clicked on the other's ads as well and same thing - juicypromo.com.

Happened with all sites.

Alexa ranks this domain at 55,500 - they're getting a ton of traffic.

I'm kind of pissed. I can't think of a valid explanation as to why clicks are being redirected to someone's parked page, presumably someone who works at Juicy that has the power to do this.

Have you considered that someone is running a RON ad and is directing their bought traffic to a parked page?

Who would buy clicked traffic and send it to a parked page?

Fail

I have seen it on more than one occasion.

My guess its a way to prevent fraudulent clicks?

Did you read what I said?

They're my ads that are doing this - as well as others. Maybe you thought I meant my site as a publisher and clicked on ads I was hosting - sorry. I opened a support ticket and was told

"All invalid clicks are sent to that page. Your clicks are still being registered with us, unless of course its invalid.

We don't specify what makes a click invalid, but in some instances, if an IP is blocked it might, or if the ads are being clicked consistently by the same IP, then they will count as invalid."

What strikes me as odd is:

1) My own clicks were some how invalid, even though it was the first time I clicked my own ad and
2) They're sending my traffic to their parked page. To get to 55k on Alexa they have to have a ton of traffic. They're obviously making money off of other people's ad buys. I want what they consider "invalid" clicks. I don't pay on a per click basis and even if I did they could simply only count the first click.

I've never heard of any other company doing this, ever. They can send them to a blank page or something - not their parked page where they try to make money off of visitors I'm supposed to be paying for.

My apologizes. I misunderstood your original post. I always assumed their fraud system that invalidated clicks just didn't charge the advertiser for those clicks.

This is where we send invalid clicks.

For some reason, your clicks are being invalidated;
There are a variety of reasons why clicks are invalidated. Most indicate fraud.

If you could contact me directly we can run some tests to figure out why;
jay@juicyads.com ... also include your IP address.


Updated; Found your old ticket answered by another member of staff. I'm finding and reviewing the data but would still like to have you contact me so we can do a followup test.
