Malware Site attempting to use SponsoredTweets

I received a tweet opportunity from an advertiser called GameVance. They have an extremely poor reputation and have been known to disseminate malware and spam according to WOT. I have rejected the opp but would like to report this advertiser so other SponsoredTweeters do not end up inadvertently tweeting links to malicious websites.

Lincoln started following the idea "Themes in Tweetie 2.0" in atebits.

All clicks reset to zero? Not reporting accurate click numbers...

I noticed none of my links are correctly reporting the number of clicks they've received. The reported clicks were accurate for a short period of time, but all the clicks were suddenly zeroed out one day and haven't been fixed since. I'm concerned that this is affecting any commissions I might have received as a result of the clicks I've garnered. Any help appreciated!

It's just a matter of knowing who to contact. ;-)

It's actually pretty common with most of the networks I'm with. It hurts to think that if I got a better cut of the pie I'd be in Prague now. O_O Ah well, some is better than none!

Just read that too, and wow, 50 percent cut? Ouch. O_O

I've been seeing this as well, I reduced my prices but advertisers are still seeing the prices from before. Wonder what the dealio is.

Thanks for the clarification! I'm glad to know SponsoredTweets had already been prescreened for use on Twitter. I confirmed the flag was the result of another service that exploits accounts for abusive purposes ad have since dropped it.

Twitter may de-index SponsoredTweets Members

Twitter informed me that they may de-index tweeters from their search engine who use third party services like SponsoredTweets if: "a third-party application is posting duplicate updates through your account (and others), it's more likely that your account will be filtered out of search in the future."

Are you aware of this issue? That makes it likely that anyone using SponsoredTweets will eventually be flagged and have their tweets de-indexed as a result if they agree to posting a prewritten tweet that they cannot change. This was only brought to my attention when I noticed by happenstance that my tweets were no longer showing up in Twitter Search. Fortunately they unflagged me after submitting a support ticket.

Clicking on links result in no action.

For a while I hadn't had any problems clicking on links in twhirl but suddenly it stopped working. :-( Now clicking on a link in any tweet results in no action at all. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail. Firefox is set as my default browser and I haven't had any problems clicking on links in other apps to open up my browser. Help?
