Thanks to recent system updates, we're very happy to announce that Referral Banners is set for a full recovery!

We've cleared many outstanding cashouts and now have only 3 remaining. These will be paid over the next few days, giving us a fresh start.

Our most active publishers are earning much more (over 10 times!) with our new rCPM model and we've been working on another major improvement: more active rented referrals!

New criteria makes sure that at least half have displayed banners this week and are likely to upgrade or renew. The other half can advertise and earn you up to $57 per sale!

If you've been thinking about boosting your earnings, now is the perfect time! Even if your referrals become less active over time, you can still recycle them to get 3 months extra for free!

Just log in and click 'Referrals > Rent / Replace' to get your own, but be quick! There are now less than 2,000 available which won't last long with so many members!

Only 3 outstanding cashouts?
Well, aren't I special Tongue

Who are the other lucky two...

Actually, they should have been more careful when dealing with you.. Tongue

They should have made sure you are not in that list or at least you should be alone there.. Smiley

Pff.. some admins have no respect for the PTCMan... that's why their end comes so suddenly and unexpectedly...

I keep wondering how large the sample was on which the tests they ran provided them with these statistics...
I'm barely making 1 cent / day if I get lucky enough now that they turned down all PTC related traffic..

I'm making much more than that through adhitz clicks..

The current earning rates are completely miserable for me. This money was what I made before the changes.

I fully understand and glad you made it as well!

I've also noticed this email from them :

In other words it will be even more difficult now to get the sales since the prices will get even higher.
Since the views do not come from incentive sources their product has a better quality now but I think it's kinda early to raise the prices.

Anyways to bail out as well I decided to run a refban related promo on my Ads page.
I've been planning this for a long time now but it looks like I ran out of time.

So yesterday night I stayed up until 5 am and coded a promo system that will also be usable in future promos of mine as well.
The deal is only available for 2 of my tier 1 refban referrals so unfortunately within the forum only Dan is able to benefit from it..

My Top 4 Spots cost $18 per month while the smallest advertising pack right now on RefBan costs $15.
So I offer 1 free Top Spot for a full month (up to 300.000 impressions) + 50.000 RefBan impressions at that price ($15).

The full details of the promo are here :

Also they've now released a brand new feature.. a weekly table that shows detailed earnings for the past 7 days.

Well here's mine...

At least it looks that their "No PTC" filter works pretty well..
Out of 62.422 visitors on my ads page they only counted 540 "real" visitors.. (The rest may have been zombies or sth.. Smiley

)
So, I've switched from earning $0.12-$0.16 per day to earning $0.01080 per week on a pro account..

And even better they will now increase their prices to $25 per 50.000 banner impressions..
That's $0,0005 per view.. we're still talking about impressions when one can get actual visitors at a much lower price..

Unlike AdHitz they also don't care about clicks so there's no benefit if a site receives better quality and active visitors as well..

I don't understand their way of thinking but they definitely own a very unique program... not that that makes it any interesting at all..

Well. My stats is confusing.

I am standard member and I'm supposed to earn $0.00001 per view. But my daily stats shows double, yet the total shows $0.00001 per view. :/

Date	Earned	Real Views
17th June 2014	$0.00048	24
16th June 2014	$0.00034	17
15th June 2014	$0.00018	9
14th June 2014	$0.00028	14
13th June 2014	$8.0E-5	4
12th June 2014	$0.0001	5
Total	$0.00073	73

Another thing is confusing me. I am seeing just one or two visitors every day, but the banner count shows 82 views / 10 real views. I don't know what's happening.

Yes it seems you are getting $0.00002 per view.. weird..

Btw, you could take a look at this page and see all the banners you are publishing..
Maybe you had added the code to more than 1 sites as well..

Yeah, I added the code in 4 or 5 of my blogs, but I have only one blog in my signature at EMS forum. And I have one shortened link in the same signature.

I am promoting my another blog at EasyHits4u via banner (not in the TE), but I guess now all those traffic has been counted as invalid. (Banner leads to my blog in a new tab and I thought it was genuine traffic, but RefBan don't think so.) Smiley
