Has Etology Finally Gone Under?

09-14-2009, 04:45 AM

Does anyone know if etology has finally gone under?

I bought a site that had been running them for over two years. Etology owes us about $600, but they haven't been paying for the last three months. (The amount just sits there as a "credit" to us on the "Earnings and Payment Screen").

I've send some emails into them about the status of this money and also filled out the support request form a few times. I can't get a response from anyone who's an account manager or anyone over there.

In addition, when you call their main number, they used to have a general voicemail box. Now, when you push the button to leave a general voicemail it just sends you back to the pre-recorded message (so you can't even leave a message). That's bad form, even for a company like etology . . . At least pretend to care about your customers.

Does anyone know any good (still valid) contacts over there or have any news on their business?

In addition, please bump this thread with other good adult traffic networks you'd recommend.

I haven't heard much on the etology front in a while? I used to have a friend that worked there but she was laid off with a bunch of other people about a year ago.

We are just about to re-launch GTSads our own proprietary PPC ad agency. The last system we used for GTSads was the Madave system and unfortunately it didn't work out to well.

If anyone is interested in beta testing with us in October please send over an e-mail to [email protected].

www.ero-advertising.com increased well the last 2 months in traffic and revenues.
From 500 million to 900 million per day in adviews (excluding China and Arab countries which are switched off).

3 different networks:
1) fixed spots (web & mobile) with geo-ip filters
2) HQ PPC traffic (web & mobile) with geo-ip filters (and many more filters)
3) cheap blind

-Monthly payouts & ontime.
-Support & sales in 8 languages
-Advanced anti-cheat filters.
-ROI pixel so you can track your campaigns.
-Mobile phones sorted even per type (most popular ones)
-Many (unique) filters to optimize your campaigns
-Text ads, thumb ads, page peels, banner ads, xml/rss feeds, intext, IM pops, video overlays, etc.

Hey there,

I don't often post on gfy. I was alerted by one of my clients that there was some confusion.

1. If you have any payment issues, please hit me up directly. I will make sure to help you out.

2. Etology.com and AVN are two different companies. I assure you we are alive and well.

Thank you all!

Have a nice day!

AFF does not advertise on www.ero-advertising.com
They are welcome to do so if they want. But wether sites are small or big, the same rules apply to everybody.

Got a message from David saying that I'll be paid between the 20th and 25th of the month and sorry for the delay. Look forward to seeing the results. Thanks to David for the response & movement on this issue and for GFY for helping get attention to this matter.
