First I've read the comments here as a good citizen. And I realized that the affiliate program is not bad. But I've found a pattern. They have too many sweet reviews, where everything is fabulously good and only one negative. I did not try my luck just in case.

A few days later I got a message from the N person in telegram who introduced himself as a media buyer of this company. He praised it. I signed up. And I drove my first deposit.

I thought, well, maybe I'm a fool. And I do something wrong. I drove one more deposit. I put in pushes, geo, age. Lots of views, 0 conversions. And that went on for some amount of time. I've started getting suspicious. Made a preland through ukit I've turned on the yandex metrics. Started a push campaign. 33558 views, 2532 clicks - huge clickability. Conversions? - 0 On the site of an affiliate program the statistics is completely different. They have 2 times less transitions. But they still were there.

I turn on the Yandex metrics, there is a section - ip addresses and behavior of the user on the site. First, some people clicked on it for 5-10 times, although there is the setting 1 user 1 display. Secondly - the most interesting - the behavior of the user. I was not lazy and opened something like 500 - 600 random IPs. The site opens and hangs for 1-20 minutes. Just stands open. In this case, all the possible buttons were somehow pressed. Well logical, that would press the button at the bottom of the land, you need to scroll there. And the site lags. What is the result? Ads are clicked by bots. And in this network of just an immeasurable amount. For the sake of interest, put whatever picture you want and you'll see a super rate of clicks and impressions.

I wrote to the support. Why bots were scamming the deposit?
The reply was that I had to check ip info. They were checking it for two weeks. In the end they wrote that there were no violations. To the question "How 600 people opened the site and managed to reach the button with their tantacles a mile away at the bottom of the site without scrolling it?" the answer - well, the bots are everywhere, but you do not have all the bots. We kind of fight them.

I also did another test. I made the ad on my Telegram. When a person enters the telegram channel, the first post is automatically credited with a view.

Here's the report in their office:



Here's the report in metrics:

I record a video, the user's behavior on the site and I've sent it to them on the telegram:

Response:



I.e. they didn't care about the fact that I threw a complaint about the bots in the first place. And they've grilled me for two weeks to check for fraud, lol what?

In general, my friends. Do not be fooled by the comments. They seem to have bought them or they were written by the same bots as at their network. The network is a crap.

Good afternoon.

Unfortunately, a quick response to your feedback did not work - since August 1, we have completed a global upgrade of our platform, including the replacement of antibot provider, in connection with which there may have been some difficulties and failures in the system. For a more complete investigation of this case, please get in touch with our support: support@trending.bid .

We also would like to inform you that we have carried out an extensive work to identify problematic traffic. Our internal media buying department performed global tests and all suspicious and questionable streams were switched off. Additionally, for everyone who uses our push traffic, we increased volumes and reduced rates on the main GEOs.

We can assure you that this misunderstanding will not happen again, due to the new multi-level control system within our organization and complete cleanup of all problematic sources.

Sincerely, the team trending.bid
