Hi Kris, thanks for information. I am not against to your policies but the quality team should give me the clarifications to show me the reasons. S/he did not share with me anything, just a short message and asked me the methods that I promoted PJN. I showed him and I used the same way like Darren does here in ProBlogger. KIs that wrong? Thanks

Darren, I am pretty new to monetized blogging. I am finding your site to be hugely helpful. Thanks for posts like these and for your newsletter.

I’m also excited about the upcoming writing project. ‘Til then…

Tinh,

Your account was revoked and your commisions were reversed based on a decision made by multiple people on the Pepperjam Network Quality Team.

It is very rare when this happens, but it happens for a reason.

I understand it is frustrating to you personally and for that I’m sorry.

However, we’ve added thousands of approved and qualified affiliates and paid out thousands of dollars in commissions as a result of the PJN Referral program.

We wish you the best of luck and again apologize that you were removed from our program for quality reasons.

Kris Jones
CEO,
Pepperjam

Yes, I have been invited to join their affiliate program from my publisher account. I read the post on Problogger and PJN CEO said that current publishers could earn 7$ for every new publishers they refer to PJN. I replaced adsense with PJN text and banners and got 7 new publishers after two weeks running, but you know. I got a message that said I have been revoked without any reasons. I did nothing wrong, just put code and what happened was what I said.

My advice is that you should think carefully before you would like to promote them as you will have the same problem like me.

Best
T

I am not sure what happened to Tinh, but I signed up with Pepperjam and have since replaced all my Google Adsense and Google Referral ads. The problem I was having with Adsense is that when I wrote a negative post about something (in my case, a particular New Age phenomenon), Adsense started spitting out nothing but ads FOR that something. Not something I appreciate when I am trying to build credibility. PepperjamADS are text referral ads that you get to choose -- you get to approve or nix every single one. They have a lot of referral partners in most categories, too. The $20 bonus is nice too (not sure why I got $20; because I use them on two sites? a mistake?).

Thanks but I think PepperJam seems to be a real scam as I promoted them in several of my blogs and got about 6 referrers but after two weeks. They sent me a message saying that I have been revoked from the program and all of my referrals disappeared. It is so tricky.

I contacted them and no reply so far.

Anyway, you guys should be careful with them

As an FYI to anyone reading this and clicking on the first "related posts" link about renewing your domain name, Darren wrote that two years ago. What he didn't include (and couldn't know at the time) is the continuing relevance of renewing your domain name. In essence, Google's index and PageRank algorithm are based in part on a 2005 U.S. patent that will deduct points for you if you don't have a multi-year domain registration on file. See Buzzle for the facts in reference to the actual patent text here.
