does anyone using shoppingads.com ?

does anyone in here using shoppingads.com ? I was using them for about 2 weeks and now all they are serving is blank ads. I've emailed them many times but no response at all. Is this a scam or something?
I know this site is affiliated with text links ads.

thnks all

I was using them on one site and my account was suspended without reason. I sent them an email a few days ago and have yet to receive a response.

They're related to AuctionAds somehow, and AuctionAds to put it bluntly, sucks...I wanted to give ShoppingAds a shot and wasn't impressed with the results I saw in the beginning...then my account was suspended, so I probably won't be using them again.

A lot of people's accounts with them have been suspended, apparently. Good little scam they had going there... get a few thousand publishers sign up, let the publishers earn a dollar or two, suspend all of their accounts, and that's a good few thousand of dollars in their hands.

Oh, update - my account was reinstated. Here was their response:

Hello, sorry about the recent blocking of your ShoppingAds account. You have been reactivated and you are ready to start making money again! We had a major spam problem with bad publishers entering our system and had to completely start from scratch and white list trusted publishers only. We are working hard to make SA a great program. There will be many new features and improvements coming soon. Thanks for your participation.


And yes, the ads are similar to Amazon

It's based on the Auction Ads code, I got an invite ages ago but never used it.

I'll continue to use them for now, yes. Right now I don't really have a better alternative for the website I've got setup now.

The earnings are also pretty good. What it all comes down to is whether or not this remains constant (unlike AuctionAds which self-destructed).
