I Just Got The Boot From CPALead

Today I received the following email from CPALead (3 times infact, I have 3 different accounts with them, in the early days you needed more than one account to track which sites did what).

There is also a whole bunch of junk down the bottom about me not disclosing this email. Don’t quite know what the harm would be. And in anycase, I have my policy that if you send me emails, I can out them. So my policy vs yours

Back to the case at hand. As I said above, all 3 of my accounts got this message. Admittedly only 1 is really used at all, but still it makes me wonder if they are doing a blanket booting, kicking everyone out, and then making them re-apply. I’m sure they will keep the top earners, but it disheartens me when stuff like this happens.

I’ll admit, I don’t use CPALead at all right now. Probably haven’t used them in months. However when I first started this blog, I had CPALead banners up. Back then I was heavily into them. From those banners, I got a bunch of referrals under my name. And thus each month I make atleast payout simply from my referrals alone. It isn’t making me a fortune, I never intended it to be, but it is still money none the less.

Feels kinda wrong when someone takes $50 from your back pocket each month for no reason. And even worse when I do work to bring CPALead business (I don’t make money unless my referrals do), and then they change their mind at a later date.
