Adtraction Reviews 81

I’ve had a really frustrating experience with Adtraction / Affiliate Fun and honestly wouldn’t recommend them based on this.

I was already an approved publisher on their platform and had been accepted by several relevant advertisers. My site had evolved into a content-led product discovery and review site, so I simply wanted to update my channel to reflect that. There’s no proper way to edit your channel details, and while trying to sort this, I accidentally deleted it.

Since then, it’s been a mess.

When I try to add the exact same site back, I’m met with rejections saying the site doesn’t meet their requirements. That makes no sense at all, given I was already approved, already working with advertisers, and actively publishing content.

I reached out to support to explain what happened and asked if they could just restore the channel. Someone replied and said they’d check with the team, which sounded promising, but that was weeks ago. I’ve had no follow-up at all.

I had already created content for advertisers who had already accepted me and even have active affiliate links, but I’ve got no confidence that any tracking is working given that I now have an account no active channel. There’s no clarity, no communication, and no way to resolve it.

It just feels like once something goes wrong, you’re completely on your own. For a platform that relies on publishers, that’s pretty disappointing.

Not a good experience, and definitely not an affiliate site I'd recommend to others, or indeed to advertisers, given the position they have now left the advertisers in who have already accepted me as an affiliate.

Beware.

This is directed at the Adtraction Sweden team. When you try to ask what work has been done, you really see why they lock you in for €5k a month (which they don’t do in other markets). It’s most likely because they can’t prove that any real work has been done beyond the bare minimum. They encouraged the deal with unrealistically high sales projections, and after three months they hadn’t even delivered two conversions. On top of that, from the day you sign the agreement, it’s impossible to get out of it for the next six months. I should have listened to my gut on this one.

We originally joined the network when it was Affiliate Future, and at the time the structure worked well for our business. The platform suited smaller and growing programmes, and the commercial model felt performance-led.

Following the acquisition by Adtraction, things changed. During the recent migration process, we were informed that our programme did not meet the new minimum performance thresholds for automatic migration. The only option offered to remain on the new platform was a fixed £99 per month fee.

While I completely understand that acquisitions bring structural changes, it was disappointing that there was little flexibility for existing clients who joined under a different commercial framework. The shift effectively moved from a performance-based model to a fixed-cost model, regardless of volume.

For businesses considering joining, I would strongly recommend reviewing the long-term commercial structure carefully — especially if you are a smaller brand or still scaling.

Professional communication throughout, but unfortunately not a viable solution for us post-acquisition.

Horrible experience with this affiliate platform. I've worked with over 10 platforms for years and never had any problems until I encountered Adtraction.

Since February 11th, my account has been blocked. I've sent emails to all of Adtraction's email addresses and to their agents, I've called, I've sent messages on their social media, and no one wants to help me or responds.

There's no explanation, and no one has given me a reason why my account is blocked or whether the leads I have pending from various advertisers will be paid.

This makes it clear that this is a company that scams its partners by being able to block accounts at any time and keep the pending earnings.

Even if they unblock my account, I will never use Adtraction again.

I'm sharing my experience so that this doesn't happen to anyone else.

Everything is slow—acceptance or denial of partner program applications, it can take months before you get a response.

Got loads of free traffic from my services, then canceled all the payments because parts of the traffic was outside of Sweden...? Like I can control that...!! Of course it was after months of "free" traffic from my site, and days before the payments should be made.

Really poor business pratices.

Amazing! High quality service

Rude and unprofessional.

From day one I’ve really appreciated the efforts and sincere engagement I get from the whole team at Adtraction. We’re together building a solid partnership to secure win/win collaborations!

Signing up there is a complete waste of time. My site, which gets thousands of hits every month, was rejected. The reason is unclear and non-transparent.

We as media company talked with the Adtraction for several days, we wanted to start a partnership. As a result, we did not receive a single clear answer - absolutley 0 clear answers. We asked about working combinations (for the fast and wealth start) - they say that "this is confident information" - seems that not interested in cooperation and profit (maybe because their business is money laundering and fraud, and not an affiliate partnership?) It remains only to guess. It is not clear how they exist in the market with such an approach to business. Our experience is that it is not recommended to work with them.

I have some issue but Emma help me out , thank u so much Emma, I m going to use adservice service now ,

Best network within the loan vertical in Scandinavia. Adservice is our exclusive partner across all markets.

From a Client perspective Adservice has good service, high level expertise and great people. We are happy with the collaboration.

I've been working with Adservice for some time, and my account was automatically suspended due to low traffic. There were no email or other notification, so it was a complete surprise for me. For some unknown, probably technical reason, we couldn't communicate to fix this problem asap. I was angry and put a bad review on Trustpilot first. But Mads saw it and contacted me, so we settled it. This has shown a good business approach and willingness to work even with small affiliates like me, and changed my mind about Adservice. Good work, guys!

Disappointing HR experience

I applied for a job posting on jobindex.dk. I waited a month from the date of applying without any response from adservice besides the automated response I received when I sent the application.
Let it be clear that adservice wrote that they required the applicant to start as soon as possible in the job description.

At this point, the application deadline had of course passed. They then reposted the same job position that I had applied to one month earlier.

I was wondering if they did not bother to reject me in person and I called them up.

The secretary then informed me that more than 300 applications had rolled in which had not been processed yet.
I asked why they would put up the same job posting if they had more than 300 applications that they had not yet processed and replied to. Anyway, how can a company be unable to find a suitable candidate among 300 applicants?

The secretary then made it clear that they had made changes to the job posting and assured me that I would get my rejection notice soon. As far as I can tell, no considerable changes have been made to the job description.

Adservice's way of letting me know that my application was rejected through lies, deceit and with a lack of common courtesy.

You should not be allowed to use online job board services, let alone have your own secretary if this is the outcome.

It has always been really easy for me to work with Adservice. My contact person in Finland is really proactive and sometimes even comes up with great ideas for my work! Quick responses, easy to work with, great campaigns, what's not to like?

When in affiliate marketing, I can highly recommend Adservice as a partner.

One of the best affiliate networks I've worked with, very dedicated and skilled campaign managers that goes the extra mile. Highly recommended.

I would recommend Adservice to every publisher.
So many great features has this network , i will mention only few since there is not much space to write down all of them but here they are:
- Great support and great communication
- Big number of campaigns with better pay out then the competition
- Always payments are on time actually before time
- Online system its very easy to use
- and many more.....

I'm working with Adservice by just some months, but it is a very good way of working! Always available for advices, comparisons and talking about how our market is going, i think it represents a real example of good organisation of work and high ability on human relations.
A partner really friendly and speedy when you have no much time to think about decisions to take: for this, a personal thanks to Johnny Nielsen, a friend before being a collegue.

Adservice is one of the select few who believe in good quality, customer service, and honest business through and through. It's been a pleasure working with them and I will continue to do so in the future.
