Vance Ad eh.. Well, if Im doing a review on this blog, unfortunately it’s not always going to be a good review. This time, I get the “treatment” from a dude named Dave Behnk. How guys slither out from under rocks and run these dime a dozen cpa networks is beyond me, but I guarantee I will direct my hard earned traffic elsewhere when I get treated like a piece of dogshit.
Now, on to my review of Vance Ads… Hahha notta chance I’d have a nice thing to say after the chat I had with this snake. At first, when I applied to the network (from being plugged at offervault.com) I assumed they would be a fair and decent place to check out. Cpa networks seem to be all over the place these days, with many of the same offers.. Only differences are payouts, support, and backends. Well VanceAds or whatever the hell they are called, use the ever so generic “hasoffers” cpa engine to power their cpa network, a far cry from a professional network and the 1st clue as to what they were about.
Upon signing up to Vance Ads, I was approved to promote offers within 24 hrs. It wasn’t long before I began to see the same offers, with less of a payout *usually by 7-10%*. A solid benchmark for me to compare CPA networks to, is EWA or Eagle Web Assets. These guys are who I send the majority of my CPA traffic to, their payouts and support are top shelf. (Ryan, Victor, Omar and the rest really go above most other networks, cuz they LOVE money). Anyhoooo, back to Vance Ads. – Who in their right mind would promote offers for LESS money, deal with the “has offers” backend, and deal with Affiliate Managers like Dave Behnk? I imagine anyone who they deem “ELITE” enough to be in their company.
Saturday morning I was feeding my kids, checking stats, and basically just keeping up with things. I noticed most all networks that were carrying the “Acai Leanspa” offer had all lost it at the same time. Of the few that still had it, Vance Ads was one. I had been working on a lot of keyword combinations revolving around Leanspa and Leanspa derivatives that were getting decent search volume, and saw an increase in Search traffic. I swapped out my prosper links to the Vance Ads links, sending them my Lean Spa traffic. Turns out, their offer went dead 24 hrs later as well, but they neglected to update their affiliates, and offervault even showed them as having the offer live. From here, I decided to approach or reach out to my “affiliate manager” , Dave. We had not had ONE convo up to this point, and check out the professionalism of this guy.. Here is a link to the actual conversation, word for word we had in AIM. Vance Ads aim Chat
Trust me, Vance Ads is just another donkey-ran CPA network and I highly suggest you all spare yourself some headache and money and avoid em like the plague.. This might be a harsh review, but hey, I’m allowed to have an opinion aren’t I?
If you are looking for a great CPA network to join up with, Hit up the guys over at EWA (Eagle Web Assets)
Cheers, good luck

Figures, Ive heard a few -ve things about these new “has offers” cpa networks that seem to be popping up all the time.
I wonder if offervault.com ever checks all these new networks out thoroughly, or just takes their ad $ and recommends them!!
I’ve had nothing but success with them. What was your issue ? I’m very surprised nonetheless.
well at this point, water under the bridge, but just another day of dealing with a dip shit imo.
If you are doing well with them, then good and continue on. There are hundreds of other networks, and in fact I am registered with probably 30 off hand that have far better support, better backends, payouts and offer selection.
cheers
