Account Suspended at Ashley Madison

Useless · 2011-10-16, 03:12 PM

I just attempted to log in to view my stats at Ashley Madison and discovered that my account has been suspended.

Anyone else find the same results or is it just poor little me?

EDIT: Just found this email.

Quote:

We notice that it has been at least 180 days since we have received a new registration under your affiliate account xxxxxx. As a result, your account has been automatically suspended for inactivity. If you wish to resume promoting AshleyMadison.com, you may contact us to have the account re-enabled.

Of course, that's complete bullshit. I assume this has something to do with their recent stats system change. Pulling links!

I Tried Signing Up For Them Under Cleos Aff Link Last Week Sometime And Haven't Heard Anything. Oh Well.

Cleo · 2011-10-16, 04:44 PM

I just logged in without any issue.

NH, are you sure that your junk mail filter didn't eat their mail?

JustRobert · 2011-10-16, 06:30 PM

I just went to look and I see my account is temporarily suspended as well but they give no reason why. Probably because I pulled all links.

I had a couple of chargebacks with one being $79. Problem was I never had a sale for that amount, so I waited to receive my last check.

I got the same bullshit and I haven't even been a member there for 180 days yet. I have yet to call them and kind of doubt I will.

Greenguy · 2011-10-16, 08:07 PM

I got the same thing

I emailed them right away, since I've had a couple of sales over the last 6 months. I think that, since they recently changed their affiliate admin around, something got screwed up on their end (let's hope that's all it is)

Cleo · 2011-10-16, 09:04 PM

They just recently completed their move from having Atrinsic run their affiliate program to bringing it in house so maybe they are still working out some bugs.

JustRobert · 2011-10-16, 11:30 PM

I found the email stating the 180 days reason as well and like Greenie I had sales over the last 6 months because I just pulled the links 2 months ago and had a sale after the links were pulled.

Cleo · 2011-10-17, 08:07 AM

This is not encouraging at all.

Looks like I may be pulling links. Going to wait a few more days to see how this plays out though.

Useless · 2011-10-17, 08:21 AM

I had two sales last pay period, so imagine how confused I am about it.

You should be getting a follow-up email if you contact them; says something like this:

Quote:

Thank You for your email. From oct 14th- oct 17th (approx) we have been experiencing a glitch in our affiliate back end system which may have shown that your account is suspended. Please disregard this suspension message until we can correct this error in our system. I apologize for any problems this glitch may have caused you. Please be assured all of your sales are being tracked regardless of the suspension notice and you will still be compensated as normal for all sales during this period.

HTH

Why have a 6 month rule at all?

Because my last member that converted from free to paying took 8 months to do so. That would be one less payout to an affiliate.

I am able to sign in again which is how I found out the info above.

Useless · 2011-10-17, 04:52 PM

I'm back in again too. Balls!

Here's the official email - notice the 2nd part...

Dear AshleyMadison Affiliate,

I'm sending you this email to update you on a few areas of our program.

Weekend Snafu
--------------

Over the weekend a glitch in our system mistakenly suspended several accounts and dispatched emails to our publishers that their accounts had been suspended. This was a computer error. If you are an affiliate who received a suspension email on the dates of October 14th, 15th or 16th please disregard the email suspension notification. All accounts suspended incorrectly have been fully reinstated.

IMPORTANT: Even though you may not have had access into your account over the weekend please be advised: ALL OF YOUR SALES AND TRAFFIC HAVE BEEN RECORDED & APPLIED TO YOUR ACCOUNT.

If you have turned off your traffic sources to AshleyMadison.com please resume them again.
I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this glitch may have caused you.

Adult Landing Pages and Content
----------------------------

We have made some changes to the coding of our AshleyMadison adult landing page and banner. Moving forward please use our new adult landing URL on ashleyRNadison.com. The creative catalogue shows the correct format for both the landing page and banners. In a few weeks we'll discontinue our current support of the ashleyMadison.com adult url landing pages and banners and replace them with non-adult versions. Thank you very much for you continued support and traffic.

International Expansion
-------------------

Today AshleyMadison.com launched in Italy! Currently our CEO Noel Biderman “The King Of Infidelity” is in Italy on a weeklong media blitz promoting our Italian launch. Now, today, immediately or in Italian: Pronto! Rapido! Espresso! You should send all your Italy traffic to AshleyMadison.com while Noel is in Italy promoting. Conversions are always amazing during Noel’s P.R., blitz, new country launches, don’t miss this incredible opportunity to make money! Don’t delay send your Italian traffic to AshleyMadison.com today.

At this time I also wish to point our other international expansion efforts in 2011. In the past few months we expanded as follows:
Ashleymadison in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Sweden, Spain, Brazil, and (as mentioned above) Italy. Congratulazioni!

We also launched our Cougarlife brand into the UK and Ireland.

Video/Pre-roll creative
--------------------
For those affiliates with video capabilities we have greatly expanded our pre-roll library with a plethora of fantastic, sexy, humorous and most important successful converting video creatives. Please visit our creative catalogue to view our new banner, rich media overlay and video creatives.

Thank you for your traffic!

Sincerely,

Evan Back | VP of Sales

I got suspended too but never sent anything really just gave it a simple shot, so no loss.

I Have Been Approved. Guess I'll Give Em A Shot.
