This is both sad and mildly annoying.
I emailed advertising@Furaffinity (AKA Dragoneer) about putting up an ad, and was expecting a 2-3 business day wait for approval, as stated. Instead I end up waiting closer to 2 WEEKS, which is frustrating but I'm willing to let it slide. My ad gets approved and put up in a timely manner, but I found
MY AD LINKS TO A TYPO'D URL
So not only is this wasting my time and cutting into my potential traffic, but Neer is being completely unresponsive over Twitter and Email. Nice.
Last time I ever spend money on this website.
Edit: I finally got a response and they allegedly fixed the link, so good. Still leaving this journal up as an archive of my experience though.
Edit #2: I was refunded for my time, so it really wasn't too bad. I've advertised in the past on FA several times and never had this must trouble... So it's not a very common occurence.
how much did you spend
i was thinking about buying an advertisement but this really turns me off to it :/ I have heard other people having problems too.
I mean it's a good source of traffic but it's such a frustrating process to go through to get to that point that I honestly wouldn't recommend it.
so sorry to hear you are having this problem :(
I hope this gets solved smoothly and quickly :( so sorry to hear about this
...but when you list is as high as a fucking skyscraper just being high on the list doesn't fucking mean much.
I had the exact same issue except the link went to an error page with my full legal name displayed for all to see.
I can't believe he still can't figure this out.
This is totally unprofessional of him.

Not to mention the missed opportunities w/ sales and the like.
Nothing was readable. I gave up with the ads. Tried twice.
(which you didn't do, because you fixed the problem, so thank you)
I really don't know from what does it depends Dragoneer's response and I'm not saying that I'm defending him or something from what happened here, but I just wanted to say to you and others that I haven't got any problems with my Ad.
I sent a letter that I want to put up an ad on saturday. I got response on the 3rd business day just as they stated that they the reply can take up to 3 business days and my Ad was putted on FA the next day and I got an email from Dragoneer that the Ad is up. I went through the page with a few refreshes to see is it really up and saw my Ad. So, they did good job with mine and everything was in time just as they said. ^^
Also, when I had a question about an icon thingy I sent a tweet to Dragoneer on twitter and got replied quickly. (Maybe in a hour or less? I don't remember now exactly)
Maybe I'm just lucky lol. I don't know. :D
