Why Safe Audit SUCKS
and How they will |
 |
I don't know if it is just me, BUT YOU CANNOT USE FRONTPAGE!
They will accuse you of changing their code, AND you WILL NOT be paid for any click through's you have sent from your site, with no "queries" what so ever!
- If your html editor so much as changes the "center" tag to "align
center" and closing with the "p" tag. This is what Frontpage does.
If I'm not mistaken, I believe that is the more current form of html.
- Also, with Frontpage (and possibly others) in FP editor, the html will show the ALT= tag after the HEIGHT= and WIDTH= and then when previewed in the browser or uploaded, the ALT= tag will be before the HEIGHT= and WIDTH=
Below is the series of e-mail correspondence I had with Safe-Audit. I had no say whatsoever. If my account was to be canceled, they should have said so to begin with. Instead, they request (rudely) that you correct the problem immediately.
I went through various different pages I had the banners displayed, and hand coded each outside of Frontpage, to have them exact.
You will see in the e-mail I received after notifying them of completion of their request, (THE SAME DAY) the way that they handle business.

Dear Trish,
Our terms and conditions state that the code you place on your page
to host our banners must not be changed in any way. At present
you are hosting a number of banners where you have ommitted key
parts of our code. Without the complete code (including the message
that the banner is provided by Safe Audit) we cannot audit your
sites performance and that is likely to mean that we will not be able
to justify asking the advertisers to pay for your registered clicks.
Please place the correct code on your site without fail immediately.
Your site is under close surveillance and subject to our findings
we may adjust these clicks.
Failure to correct this immediately will result in your termination as
a Safe-Audit host site and the loss of all existing credit.
Thank you

MY RESPONSE BACK TO LEO SHEINER, AFTER MAKING ADJUSTMENTS THAT REALLY WERE RIDICULOUS TO BEGIN WITH.

Hello, I didn't see any errors other than a few ALT= and HEIGHT= WIDTH= mixed around. I just copied the exact out of the e-mails I had received and pasted. Not sure where I went wrong, because I didn't think I had adjusted anything except the http://your directory for the image file. Let me know if I am doing something wrong. You can do all the surveillance you would like, but make sure you check out the hardware pages if you ever need any help. Have a great day!

Audited Banner Advertising:
http://www.safe-audit.com/
This is an END OF STORY, Period!! You have NO say, NO money earned, no access to even know what is owed to you. I had a banner on seven different pages on my hardware site and numerous banners on the "Make Money from Your Webpage" site. All pertained to where they were placed. I had these banners up over a month. Some, (safe-audit's of course) were to pay up to $50.00 with a signup to advertise with Safe-Audit. Minimum payout on any was 10 cents a click.
NOW I WONDER HOW MUCH THEY TOOK ME FOR!! DON'T LET THEM DO IT TO YOU.
Read carefully, the terms of their program. You will see it leaves them wide open to RIP YOU OFF! If you want to host banners on your website with a middle man to handle the click counts, try Clicktrade.
Termination of your account
--------------------------------------
Safe carefully monitors all activity and will cancel
without notice and without credit for their hosting any
site that in their sole opinion is in breach of any of the
above conditions. Registrations will be terminated
without payment for all previously registered traffic.
Such termination will led to the terminated site being
On a blacklist and not being allowed to re-register
At any time.
Termination of the hosting of a specific banner
-------------------------------------------------------------
Safe Audit also reserves the right to terminate any
specific banner hosting without payment if it deems that
particular hosting to be inappropriate to the host site
traffic.
