BEWARE Spam & Malicious Ads
BEWARE! Once you make an account, you cannot delete it. The ads are not good, they are spam. They are Congratulations you win iphone type scams. Click it and it takes you to a page that says your device is infected. I've read other reviews that that take your money that you earned. The ads are inappropriate and spammy. Others have said they will snatch visitors from you forever because your website will forever be redirected to one of their scam sites if your visitors do not know how to remove it. God I wish this company was banned from advertising themselves on Google and social media. I'm hoping I don't have to delete my website and start over. I will closely monitor it and be in touch with my web host if my stuff gets hacked.

Hello
We are very surprised by your feedback.
We are one of the biggest and trusted companies in the field. Thousands of publishers have been making money with us for 10 years. Obviously, malware, viruses, phishing offers are strictly prohibited in PropellerAds. And of course we do not hack sites.
Therefore, we ask you to send proof of your words to contact.us@propellerads.com. We’ll check it very carefully.
And if you do not understand how to stop monetizing your traffic with PropellerAds, please contact our Support Team and they will help you.
The best ad network i have used!
+ Payments come on time once a week
+ Modern management interface
+ API and 2 factor authentication
+ numerous advertising formats
N I would like to see individual Adblock domains, so that the Adblock traffic is better monetized.
- Unfortunately, you can't configure the number of ad impressions or excluded categories yourself, so you can then test less what the perfect ad composition for the user is.
- Over the weekend PropellerAds account managers are often not around, which makes short term adjustments difficult. The service is better with other advertising networks.
- In the past there used to be a problem that the in-page push format in the mobile variant also generated OnClick popunder.
- The verification process for the 1st withdrawal is very time-consuming, as the requirements are partly not clear to everyone what is KYC ok and what is not. e.g. the bank of the account holder must be in the EU country of residence and not in other EU countries - which is an unnecessary effort for an international company that has business accounts in many countries and operates with them.
In summary, however, we are satisfied with the results.

Hello!
Thank you for the feedback, we really appreciate it.
Let us give you just a few explanations to clear up some things.
First of all, we would like to emphasize that every client can contact our 24/7 support team at contact.us@propellerads.com. You may ask any question anytime you need and our colleagues will be glad to assist. For example, you could ask them to change frequency/cap of the ad or exclude any ad categories.
In-Page Push ad format works properly at the moment, all issues have been resolved.
As for the account verification, we should say that this is a standard procedure that takes some time. In some cases our legal department can ask a partner to provide additional info and it increases the processing time. Now the KYC process is being automated and we expect the verification to be processed faster.
Concerning your point about the bank, it should be mentioned that we work with almost all countries and it doesn't matter where your business is located - we provide a wide range of payment methods available in your account.
We hope we've been able to clear up some of your doubts about working with our platform. If you still have any questions or comments feel free to contact us.
DO NOT BE MISLEAD
DO NOT BE MISLEAD. I DID EVERYTHING RIGHT AND THEY ARE TRYING TO EXPLAIN THEMSELVES OVER WHAT'S WRONG.

Best ad network!!
I see a lot of comments giving 1 star and saying propeller ads is a scam bla bla bla...their customer service is the best. 9 tried to get approved for Adsense on my website and it fails everytime so I spent a good month looking for the best ad network and I made up my mind to use propeller ads, they’ve been good so far, I started off earning a little over $5 per month and now I’m earning over $40 with reduced traffic even though I’m not promoting the website anymore they continue to impress me, the they pay out on time and they’ll always reply to your emails or messages on Facebook messenger, if you have a problem with them then it’s something you should try to fix by emailing or messaging them on their social media because I guarantee they’ll be glad to help! The thing with the ID now I understand it’s a requirement so y’all should read the TOS before signing up on any website and don’t put a bad name on them for that. Thank you propeller ads for being such a great company and I’ll be one of those persons that’ll fight for your reputation even if it means going to the sun and back.

SCAM, Professional Scam :)
SCAM
I don't know but the traffic of my website is 4m/month. I sent traffic statistics but they refused and did not give an appeal =)) They say they have 10 years of experience but the way they work is really unprofessional. They banned me once and the sales staff emailed me use ads again.
---
He said: "As I see now you have the ban due to multi-accounting in our system, which is good, because we can fix it for you.
Also I have checked your websites and they seemed to be good in terms of your traffic quality. Tell me please, did you communicate with some of Propeller managers?
Never mind. I am ready to onboard you newly and start long-term business with you."

I agree and push ads 9days and they ban my account once again. Total amount SCAM 2 times total 700$.
Email sales staff invite me to join: Skype: dotsenko.k @propellerstaff.com

Hello
First you were banned for fraudulent activity, not for multi-accounting. We take traffic quality inspection very seriously, therefore the work with you was stopped.
After that, you registered a new account. But a new account did not negate the fact that you had already violated our rules and it was no longer possible to work with you. So this account was banned as well, this time for multi-accounting.
Our colleague did not know about your fraudulent activity, that’s why he mistakenly believed that he could fix the situation. However, when he studied the history of working with you more deeply and found out the real reason for the ban, he apologized for the misunderstanding and told you that the ban cannot be canceled.
If you still have questions or complains, you can contact our Support Team via contact.us@propellerads.com

We take ad quality inspection very seriously in order our ads don’t contain viruses. Please send proof to contact.us@propellerads.com if you really saw that our ads contained viruses. We will carefully check your information.
The number of ads can be easily changed. To do this, you need to contact our Support team via the email address we provided above.
About low CPM. We recommend that you read this article: https://propellerads.com/blog/pub-ask-propeller-why-is-my-cpm-so-low/
It not only explains why some publishers have low CPM, but also advises how to fix it.
And as for documents, all the accounts in PropellerAds have to pass KYC verification and we can ask for the documents according to our Terms and Conditions that you agreed with while registering the account:

Low CPM, Sketchy practices, Cartoon Porn ads Everywhere!
Terrible! Cartoon porn ads constantly even though they say they don't run any sexual ads.
They run a sketchy KYC for publishers. About a week after I submitted photos of my IDs they banned my account for "fraudulent activity". This is incredibly false and makes me think there is more going on behind the scenes at this company than just advertising. The CPM rates are incredibly low, so it's not a big loss to me losing them as an ad network, but I am very uncomfortable that they just collected my ID and then kicked me out.
Update: Don't be fooled by this reply below, they are not actually going to provide any support. They reminded me time and time again that bans are final without actually helping me determine what the problem was. There is nothing for me to screen shot because I don't even know why I was banned. They only send a TOS which is doesn't actually help address any issue. You will get better CPM with other adnetworks. They claim the ban adult content but "C*nt Empire" is a regular pop from them, and their banner ads will have women in wearing next to nothing advertising "dating" sites. Perhaps because it's cartoon, and not full nudity (although totally inappropriate for many peoples websites) they consider it acceptable. Keep your website quality high, you will only degrade it using propellerads.
