Bloggers crying foul, can post their publishers ID on this thread, and I will openly review your account here. Every account banned or deleted from our network is truly a fraud account. Post your pub ID

I am a member of the Promo Nigeria Team. Firstly I will like to introduce the platform and how we came about it.

The initial plan of the Promo Nigeria digital advertising platform wasn't to develop a publishers' network. It was a small advertising project to help clients place ads on premium blogs and websites. We had just about 7 websites our clients' ads were being placed on. The goal of the platform was to help small companies test out digital advertising using very low budgets. We launched the platform early last month and we started having applications from more premium websites who wanted to add an additional revenue source to their website and to also support SMEs.

Due to the huge demand from more website owner, we decided to quickly automate the publishers application process, hence we finally came up with the publishers network. The network was to pay up to N10 per click as we usually would collect at most N17 per click from the advertiser, but then there were not much adverts to accommodate the over 3,000 blogs and websites that joined the network within 4weeks.

Rather than serve non-paying ads or 'no-ads' on these websites, we decided to run discounts and price slashes to encourage more advertisers to come on board. Advertisers were charged during this period about N7/click and N5 from this was to be paid to all publishers.

The growth of the network was amazing but that also came with a cost outside our budget which was already used up. We had to move from a shared host to a dedicated server $2,400/year but that also couldn't hold the rising traffic. We finally settle for a dedicated server of about $3,840/year.

Was a fraud detection technology added? NO!

The system was built with little or minimal fraud detection algorithm. It was porous, but that became a blessing in disguise, people were clicking into millions of naira within few days and they went out blogging about us as the next big hit in Nigeria. More bloggers trooped in. ASUU strike also added a push as over 50% of the publishers on the network are students using crazy wapsites and naijaloaded clone scripts to rip the system of some quick money. All they needed to do is create a blog and start clicking the Promo Nigeria Ads.

Due to the click bombing activities from publishers, most advertisers had to opt out because they were seeing gigantic total clicks which never resulted to a reasonable ROI on their ads. At this point we had to quickly develop a fraud detection algorithm to help rescue the network; partially completed, but was still able to fish out the fraud publishers from the credible ones because there was no time left before the payout date.

The future of Promo Nigeria

We very much believe in the Nigeria dream. If google can do it, we can too but though in a more simplistic and basic level. Technology is expensive and we would love to be small and serve our clients (advertisers) better. A couple of hundreds of thousands monthly in revenue is sufficient for us. We live in a small town with very low cost of living and doing business.

Promo Nigeria Ad is an additional(secondary) income source to the publisher not a primary source.

Payouts for September
All qualified publishers will be paid tomorrow Monday 30th Sept.

Femiskyrock: you suspend my account I don't know my offence, I have 7+ there.. My pub Id is 697 username is femiskyrock

None of the websites recorded for your account is valid but yet you have over 232,000 ad impressions and 915 clicks. The system also recorded 1,242 fraud instances for this account.

Where precisely did you get these ad views and also clicks because the website you used during your application exambase.tk is not even opening.

See the list of websites where you displayed our ads:
bigzh.com, huck04.com, surfall.net, a-14.com, facebookoxy.com, exambase.tk, kuzap.com

Bulk of these websites are proxy browsers, most likely you used to generate lot of fraud IPs to fool the system. If you are truly doing the right thing, we won't ban you.

See screenshot of your account stats.

Note: We don't accept wapsites, MTN, GLO, AIRTEL Cheat sites, Naijaloaded clone sites etc. These sites simply waste our publishers money. Hardworking bloggers are so easy to detect, you don't need a fraud detection technology to tell that.

I love the way you do your analysis keep it up and you'll earn my loyalty soon at https://writersking.com

oops that's not my site..... My site url is extraloaded.com check d account very well I don't click on my ads my email is femiskyrock@gmail.com , check the account very well is nt my account Ok.. M nt d owner of dose site I don't know anything about it, that's not my account

Ma account was also flagged and am having 8k + which was beat down to 4k and later flagged again..... I didn't clicked on ma ads myself.... My pub id 324

freemanbiz: oops that's not my site..... My site url is extraloaded.com check d account very well I don't click on my ads my email is femiskyrock@gmail.com , check the account very well is nt my account Ok.. M nt d owner of dose site I don't know anything about it, that's not my account.

Extraloaded is not registered to Pub-697. Extraloaded.com is registered to Pub-317. You must have created several publishers account which is a violation of our policy. The fraud detectors bans every member with multiple accounts. There are no reason creating multiple applications on the Promo Nigeria network, doing so is a clear indication you have no regard for platform.

am not using 317 again .. v contact ya administrator, review 697 and unban me..

Good day kindly check pub-239 Earnings reduced from 49x.00 to 172 thereabouts

Abeg review ma acct 324 for me and unban me asap.......

dharmmy16: Ma account was also flagged and am having 8k + which was beat down to 4k and later flagged again..... I didn't clicked on ma ads myself.... My pub id 324

I just concluded the review of your account. These are the reasons why your account was banned:

1. You have been clicking the ads yourself. The fraud alert system recorded 19 instances you clicked on the ad.
2. 90% of your earnings came from a single day, where you had over 900 clicks with a CTR over 200%.

Check your regular page views which is below 100 per day but yet, you were able to get over 1,000 clicks. It is too obvious a fraud. Again your account don't need a fraud detector to fish it out. The stats are obviously too clear.

See account stats screenshot below:

hehe*thats crapp,you really believe in naija future and you slash due payments...anyway i will try again but i will wait to see how many co_bloggerz gat their payment on your amazing payday...wishing you luck,


if you wish me shaa

now,if you are this smart,check out my account with my stats and tell me what you think...

Pub id 511

Funny Stats, some with an earnings of 500k when they are even trying to make $1/day from adsense. Any i will suggest you guys get a better system and change that your ads format to standard format, if you can use javascript to generate ads code like addynamo it will be great.
The 2k5 you want us to pay before we use the coupon is too high fb charges $1, addynamo $7 ,adword $5. When you make payment let me know so i can join you. Try to place advert inviting other advertisers. Try this script www.inoutscripts.com/products/adserver/

Today september 30th has (almost) ended. So where are the people that got paid?

haba,y my own dey pursue you @ op?post my stats let everybody see it and if you add or remove anything,i will present them with the slashed stats....Moderators close this thread by 2morrow if he cant

I love your visions and I must commend you guys. I believe you know google adsense and other adservers do not permit wapsites because of such fraud activities. So I wonder why you guys let that happen. I support you guys and would love to work for you guys in anyway i can. All the best guys, I see your dreams come true.

I think it is a welcome development. I belief in local content and the Nigeria project. Let us encourage ourself.
I am please with the response I had from my advert. I will soon create time to see how I can promote the program on my numerous blog

Now I know why we wasted N15k advertisin in promo Nig. This fake clicks affected we the first people that patronized the company. Very unfortunate then.

Still looking for an encouraging and current review.

Here is a screen shot of my account. after sending numerous messages concerning what i get per click and impression. besides, u advertised adnation in $.

Promo Nigeria is somehow funny though.....even with over 30,000+ views and 10+ clicks in a day, the pay has been discouraging but I commend the admin efforts and challenge him to review the company's pricing

See the attached screenshot to consider my plights even with 90,000+ page views I a day
