I might have overlook the setup of ad-networks in some of my blogs and that caused my AdFocus account to be flagged. You got to admit that sometimes mistakes are genuine and unintentional. I think i have might violated one of their terms where they do not allow redirected traffic to Adfocus link from another ad-network however they do allow traffic to be directed to that ad-network.
As stated on http://adfoc.us/terms

Violation of the restrictions above will result in an account ban or “Red Flag” (warning).
So knowing that, i actually contacted the support to clarify and resolve matter when my account was flagged and i was not able to withdraw the amount that i earned.
But to dismay, the ticket that i logged to the support team was never responded. I also notice that their support site is frequently down despite the main site to be fully functional at all times. Is this some kind of diversion so that they have reasons not to respond? It also appears to me that if i have violated their terms, why wait until i made a payment request and not before / or while it was happening?
Sheesh!
I am switching all my links to Linkbucks for now for sure. It appears they are the only few networks that are consistent in terms of monitoring, making payments and providing support. I have been flagged before in Linkbucks due to some content however the support was reasonably fast and things were clarified. I have also received over USD50 in payments to my paypal from Linkbucks without any problems and it has been always on time.
Good bye AdFocus!
AdFoc.us is a Scam!
