What happened to the daily guaranteed earning system? Now we earn 1 / 2 cents per 1000 views. Wonderful. Censored

This is a formula for failure IMO. I have seen this countless times and it was a real site killer in the TEs. You can't be paying people 2 cents per thousand and then charge them a minimum 19 cents to advertise. People are not stupid. They can do math. When they are providing the traffic on their dime there is no way they are going to hand the site ten times what they get paid.

They are going about this all the wrong way and their constant changing shows they are in crash and burn mode

What joy, today I earned $0.00128 Money

Loving this new model.

Angry

Besides, aren't we supposed to earn $0.02 per cpm from referrals. Because either I all my referrals stopped publishing today, or I got zero downline earnings.

It has changed. You earn 1 cent or 2 cents per 1000 impressions produced. Similarly you earn 1 cent / 2 cents when your downlines produce 1000 impressions.

Earlier I thought that I would just upgrade with $5 or $9 for a month and withdraw my earnings. Now, I simply won't do it. I am getting doubtful whether I'd be paid at all.

I am confused again. I got my usual earnings. (It shows "1 real banner view; $1.0E -50 earned today")

My today's earnings was 9 cents. That was my usual earnings previously, including my daily 5 cents.

I really cannot follow them.

What I think is, if they can remove the condition of making sales, more people will be ready to publish at least and our referral activity may increase.

OK, that's just wrong. I think what they need to do is adopt something that worked very well at a banner site I once belonged to. Get the site average of clicks to impressions ratio and then reward people where they stand according to that ratio. If the average is 1 in 50 then anybody above that gets a higher share of the revenue. Anybody below gets lower. This both gives incentives for people to improve their banner rankings and slowly raises the banner average, but it also does not punish some publishers because of the perceived quality of their hits(the bottom line is click throughs of course).

Do they think those 4000 impressions of yours were got free?

Well, it looks like it started counting more after I made that post...

Today it looks like this.. :

9,461 banners shown (This is cumulative)
174 real views (This must also be cumulative)
$0.00348 earned today (This includes today only)

All in all I think it barely crosses 1 cent / day.. nothing compared to the 10 cents/day that I received before..
Anyways, never mind.. once I receive my payout (if I do) I will leave it at its own luck..

Reply #82 - 6^th Jun, 2014 at 3:26pm I never had much faith on this site, maybe i failed to understood its concept, it just never seemed to me it could be really profitable to both members and the site itself. I didnt read all of the thread, but did any of you guys made good money out of it?

The rough part of that program is cashing out.. that thing once again takes out the potential of cashing out for the average Joe.

It requires members to achieve 2 sales if upgraded, or 5 sales if standard.

The sales must be from individuals which makes it even harder to achieve.

At least the cheaper sale is $15 and includes 50.000 banner impressions..

Overpriced for sure, but if we combine it with a good deal it would be achievable.
So advertising site owners have much better chances there than a single member/referrer...

And if you dont do sales, what happens to your funds?

Yes.. and that makes it a pay-in to pay-out only program and it's definitely not suitable for freebies..

Good luck on your venture Yes, it's not attractive at all.. especially with their recent changes that kind of killed it.. My only interest there is cashing out ~$60 that I have accumulated in my balance.. and that's a big "if" as well...

Reply #89 - 8^th Jun, 2014 at 8:56am Previously, when I visit my own blog, the impressions count stayed unaffected. Now, I can see that the impression count is increasing even during my own visits. That may lead to people start cheating the system. And again, they may need to make some changes.
