OfferGate reviews

I have been registered in this affiliate program for a long time. At some point, I had to go in to check the availability of the offer and I suddenly found myself banned. I wrote to support, it turned out that I was blocked for inactivity. But that's not all. They also cancelled the balance. I had to persuade them to return everything as it was. As a result, the balance was returned. Okay, blocking for inactivity, but stealing money from the balance is too much. I don't know why, after such a red flag, I didn't tell myself that it was most likely an office... doubtful.

I haven't interacted with them for a long time. A week ago, I saw an interesting offer for myself. He was in private. Got access, started driving traffic. Knowing that the test cap is always paid for by everyone, I wrote to the manager myself asking for feedback on quality. In order not to waste tons of traffic, which would not suit them, and they would have to pay for it. He just treated other people's money like a human being. There was silence for several days. If there is no answer, then everything is fine, I thought. But it turned out to be a little trickier. 

On the 4th day, they give me the answer that I need to leave only certain sources suitable for KPIs. I do it without any problems. There is 10 times less traffic, but what can you do, a partnership is always the benefit of two parties, not just one. Then, after some time, it is reported that the traffic contained 20% of bots and 50% of the iframe. I completely allowed this, which is why I asked for feedback. The traffic was purchased by RON and required further optimization, which is what I was counting on. In total, 70% of the traffic is bot traffic and 30% live traffic. To which I am informed that there will be no payment at all. Not at all. Why? I don't care. Just like that. There is no desire to pay for traffic. Why wait a few days before giving feedback on the quality, can you guess? To fill up more! And to cut off more later. The description of the offer also states that for new sources the cap is 100$ DAILY. There is no mention of any test caps. As if hinting, drive traffic more, it's okay.

Apparently, this partner is a dying horse. And before closing, we decided to cut some moneyby just throwing the web. 

I've been working with Offergate for a long time. But all the positive aspects of the affiliate (such as the variety of offers) are wiped out by simply disgusting technical support, which lies and doesn't blush. As a consequence, more and more often I began to catch myself thinking that their boorish attitude (although at first glance it may seem that it is not so) outweighs many obvious pluses. Since January last year, their "specialists" conducted technical work related to the rotator banner (according to them) - after that he safely stopped working. I personally needed it, because it is necessary to rotate traffic not only under different GEO, but also different types of mobile devices, etc. As a result - I wrote to them once in 15 times throughout the year. At first they lied that they were looking into it, then they started to say more vague phrases like "we passed the information to the technical department" (they passed it after each of my appeals, which came steadily once a month), and at the end they said that it was not a priority for them. It's fine for them that they have a function that doesn't work on their site. And then the usual ignoring went on. As a result - for half a year of communication with them, they just otvtirvili me already. And every time they try to stick the installation of "ShiftMaker" (to the offer itself no complaints). How to explain to them that the offer that spins one and a half advertiser on RU, KZ, BY, UZ. is not the same as a full-fledged rotator of banners, which can spin under any part of the world and type of device - I do not know! The feeling that there sits either an answering machine or a person who is very far from the Web environment.

Bottom line - once good affiliate is killed by incompetent, irresponsible and outright lying "comrades" from the support, whose "talent" is organically complemented by a similar one of their "specialists" from the technical department. I don't even want to talk about the fact that they constantly break something and everything is kept only on snot - I don't even want to talk about it. With such a "team" it is to be expected.

I would like to share my feedback about this platform, in order to warn others, I do not advice anyone send traffic on the pushes here, because at one point you will ask the proof of the advertising campaign and even if you provide them you can not prove anything, they will come up with false arguments, when you build your base of subscribers you stupidly will throw the entire base, be careful! If you do not want to drain your advertising deposit - pass by this affiliate!

Support began to be silent, questions are ignored, the income from the same attendance began to fall day by day, delays in payments happened more and more often, then they are at conferences, but they are walking, then what's the short of it. I left.

When you first start working with offergate on push-subscriptions you are waiting for happy days: at first there will be beautiful figures, they will grow and grow.
But over time, you will notice that they grow somehow wrong - at first a sharp increase, then an incomprehensible decline: I would write it all off to "randomness", because they pay us for clicks - well, a new offer came out, got more output. But once you "slip away" from the offergate at least for a week, you won't see former numbers soon - the yield will fall and fall, even if the monthly volume of traffic will be sent in a day - no difference.

The support is fast, yes, but in fact - they do not care about you: a simple question as to why I am driving traffic and the yield falls, I was given a classic reply "nothing".

In the course of testing the various push affiliate programs, I was able to identify the following offergate minuses:
- Shave of subscriptions: when I switched to another affiliate program, you will see that there will be almost 1.5 times more subscribers. Where do they go on offergate? - To them, "in their pocket" :)

- Shave of the output: even if you look at the data on their statistics, you can see it's "mistakes", if you sit on the statistics for an hour and update it, we see that at first we get more or less real numbers, and then they slowly shave.

- A lot of affiliate programs give New Year's gifts: usually smartphones or gadgets, TVs and stuff like that. Do you know what they give in offergate? - Tea for 50 rubles and a blanket :)

I decided to send some traffic to them for pushes. Asked a question about setting up a postback for keitaro - the support just stopped answering. This is how they lose partners
