Axill, Total Spam
Another email I received recently, this time in the contextual advertising / SEO arena:
Sub: CPM offer from Axill.com on your website.

Axill provides a complete solution for publishers to generate huge revenue from their websites by offering the best offers on the web and facilitates the publishers to keep track of their performance by providing online reporting.

Waiting for a positive reply
As this email is unsolicited commercial email without prior business relationship and lacking disclaimer of intent and an opt-out method, Axill is formally in violation of the US can-spam act. As such, they may be liable for as much as $11,000 in fines per incident. So far, there’s not much to learn about them from other bloggers, so I’ll assume they’re new and go easy on them with the following brief rejoinder:
To whomever,
I do not appreciate unsolicited commercial email resplendent in typographical errors, non-compliant with US anti-spam laws, and lacking a proper subject line and regular paragraph spacing. Recently I learned a phrase in Chinese which might apply to your efforts to seduce me to an advertising network which cannot possibly benefit me: ????!
Please reconsider your email marketing efforts and legal compliance, and remove me from any future mailing or contacts database.
Hopefully that gets the point across…

Axill is Now one of the Good networks in the world.They pay me before 15th every month.
I have been using Axil for hte past 2 years and have received payments of almost US$40000 from them. Yes that forty thousand. they are legit and really pay and reply to my emails.
I don’t trust them! The conversion rate is very low! With the globe7 international program $0.50 for a lead. Just 1%. While the download and registration is totally free of charge! and my webpage is related to the products they offer!
And globe7 is the same company, the CPM ads are running from a globe7 adress.
They did pay me because I generate quite a lot of clicks. But I think they are not fair with tracking the conversions. They did pay me (small amount) to keep me in the network. For sure..
I would consider them a indistinct web company.
Scam!!
Axill is a scam. They dont pay and suspend your account. So dont use them.
This Article is very interesting about Axill.com http://www.essam.org/index.php/2008/03/30/axill...
My earnings also reached $150 but so far i didn’t receive any check and they are not responding for mails. I am really worried about there service.

YOU “GUYS” ARE CONSIDERING THIS OUTFIT FROM ONLY YOUR NARROW ADVERTISER ETC PERSPECTIVE THEY ARE A LIVING NIGHTMARE FOR US, HERETOFORE, UNSUSPECTING RESPONDENTS/CUSTOMERS. THEY HAVE A HORENDOUS TRACK RECORD THUS FAR. AND CUSTOMER SERVICE ACTUALLY BLOCKED MAIL FROM MY E-MAIL ADDRESS WHEN I INQUIRED AS TO THEIR OBVIOUS PROBLEMS RE: TRACKING, CREDITING AND SO FORTH—THEY OFFER “FREE PHONECARD(S)” FOR COMPLETION OF OFFERS ON THEIR “GLOBALFREECALLING.COM” WEBSITE LURE IN THE INNOCENT PROSPECTIVE CUSTOMER THEN DON’T PAY OFF GOOD SCAM
Hi again,
I have ran Axill as a secondary campaign for a few days now. Since my site is international and just a few secondary hits will be from US and Canada it will not give 0.30$ CPM at all. They did not tell that they only counted hits from US and Canada, if I had known this from the start I would not started this at all.
Also: If you read their conditions closely it seems like that they may send your visitors pop-ups. I don’t like this at all.
I have other ad providers that give much more, especially hits from the US.

I just got an email from them, they are offering a 0.30 CPM rate, which is so much lower than the eCPM that I get through AdSense.
Their banners could be found at this link:

Hi Blue_Chi,
I got the same offer. I will let them have some space as a secondary campaign.

I got this email today as well. It was sent through our contact form, I doubt that it’s a bot.
Hi again, here is the press release with the full story:

I did a little more research. It seems like this company is related to an IP phone brand called Globe7. (www.globe7.com). I noticed the same contact name for both globe7 and axill: Jayesh Patel. According to a press release for Globe7 this is his phone number: 908-327-3900.
If you want to be an affiliate with Globe7 you are redirected to Axill…
I got this email also. If this is fake they have put a lot of effort in it. The site looks professional. I have answered the mail, but not registered my page.
Same with me: I have not yet found any “real” axill ad…..
I also got this email this morning. Have all of the same questions as the rest of the commenters. Found this site by google’ing axill – there’s a rare keyword to ad to my next blog post
after checking out their site it does look a bit suspect. If you check out this page ( http://www.axill.com/demo.aspx ) where they claim to have ads on other websites – check out the sites and I can’t see any of their ads.
After doing a bit more research, I see they are owned by Northgate Technologies Inc. Check it out – http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Northgate+%2B+Axill
If anyone finds anything more out please post it up here
I also just got an email from this company, googled it and ended up here too. The offer does seem pretty good but how can I trust it? There’s very little information on the company anywhere!
anyone come up with more info on it?
I, too, am trying to find out more information about this company. I received a similar email message this morning and, so far as I can tell, the company is legitimate.
I received the inquiry for only one of my sites, however:
http://www.aviationemploymentboard.net/
I am wondering if, like Google’s Adsense, I would be allowed to post their ads beyond my one site?
Yep, I just got this email, except it was actually sent properly via my email form at http://www.radiofeeds.co.uk/form.html , so perhaps it’s human as opposed to a robot.
But yeah, their proposal seems to good to be true at the moment, so will wait to see if any further comments on this blog are added. (I only found this blog after doing a Google search for comments on Axill!!)

I dont think its SPAM. It’s a business proposal i guess, if it come from same domain.
Nice use of Chinese! I can see that your Chinese has significantly improved! You can even curse in Chinese. LOL!
While this is truely a spam email, what if I emailed you concerning advertising on your site? I don’t know how popular your site is, but surely if I had enough money to get enough small sites to advertise my site, then maybe I’d get some momentum behind it.
Of course I don’t have this sort of money, but why not if it’s legit? Of course, people can say, no, I don’t want advertisments on my site, and please don’t contact me regarding this again.
But I’m totally with you on outing the spammers.
