what does Quarterly mean

i signed up for altavista and in their faq they say they pay quarterly....what does that mean?

Every three months, or four times a year...

... okay i don't wanna be slappin' you in the face or anything, but $.02/action??? *SLAP*:D. Okay so maybe i did wanna slap ya;)

why not go with searchbucks.com and get $.1/search for the first 1000 searches (or clicks) and $.06/search subsequently

i already have 131 bucks in account
