SPAM Redirect from WordAds unit (again!)

    As reported in this discussion a few months ago the problem still reoccurs today

    Is absurd.

    I had left only one ad unit WordAds per website, from today I will take that too. Service really unreliable (and the remuneration for July they have not gone out yet).

    I’m sorry to say, but with no other similar service I’ve had so many problems.

  • Hi there,

    The issue in the other thread you referenced has been fixed, so if it’s happening again, it’s a new advertiser that managed to get past our filters.

    In order to investigate this and make sure they’re blocked, we’ll need to know exactly which ad is causing the problems, so please provide a link to your site, a screen shot of the ad in question, and if possible, also the link to which you are redirected when you click the add.

    It is not possible to periodically display the scam redirects on your ads, which does not happen with other platforms. And it is not possible that every time you have to report it without you notice anything.

    My experience with WordAds closes here. It’s not worth it (with so many readers complaining of having paid for SMS services thanks to the redirects on your ad units).

  • We understand the frustration. It is not a simple issue to track and solve which is why we requested more data. The more data we can gather the better chance we have at tracking down the cause.

    If there’s any additional information that you can provide we would be appreciative.
