Checks received...

[russianromero]

Hi all,

Just thought I'd let you know that I have received some money and can now attest that a few companies actually pay!

www.focalex.com -- I think most of you know about them...

www.searchcactus.com -- They have a nice publisher program with quite a few good offers. Very good support. I received my last check net-20! Much better than waiting 90 days for it...

www.netcoinz.com -- As I said before, the only PTS company (through my personal experience) that actually pays.

I know most of you already know that Focalex pays, but now you know (if you didn't before) that SearchCactus and NetCoinz pay as well.

Regards,
RR

I think that most pay out just that they have so many ways of trying not to pay you. Its best to read their terms and conditions because some require a minimum click through rate otherwise they terminate your account and some others will require you to make a high amount of money before they send out the cheque. Before you make that money most people probably leave and the ad network makes profit.

Glad we could be of service!

Lets see here.. I'll list as much as I can remember

Amazing Media (dropped due to market conditions but still great people to work with) www.amazingmedia.com

Focusin (Currently using them and they pay very good and on time) www.focusin.com

Duenow (I just hope I never get dropped from this program)
www.duenow.com

Exit Fuel (Used to be very annoying with multipopups but they now have a light version with single popups at $3 cpm and they pay decent and on time) www.exitfuel.com

Fine Clicks (Some good CPC text links but I no longer use them)
www.fineclicks.com

Popupsponsor.com (great for a one page popup program if you need extra cash.. they pay pretty good and on time, currently using them still on a single page ) www.popupsponsor.com

Commission Junction (Yeah they pay.. but they no longer have CPC programs and I'd like to say they suck but I wont because this board prohibits it.)

Thats all I can say much about for now.. listen to the others here for more great advertising agency ideas, you will learn alot!

Gaah! I hate www.searchcactus.com. :mad:

I used their get-paid-to-click program (yeah :o) and had saved up so I wouldn't lose too much on the exchange fee. Then all of a sudden they disallowed international members without paying what they owed. If they could do it once they can do it again...

The money is still there in my account but I can't get to it. :PUKE SMILIE:

When did this happen meow? If they dropped international members they should still pay you what was owed. When mailbits stopped paying non US/Canada/Uk they still paid us what was due, even though it took a while :rolleyes:

Exactly! They did it just after 'pay day' too and I had chosen not to get my check...it wasn't that much, around $50, but that's a lot of clicks. :p
It was long ago, at least a year.

It's 1½ years ago. I get mad again when I think about it. Here's how they got around paying what they owed. I will get it when they launch Searchcactus International. Yeah. Right. :mad:

Note that they also take back money for the last month.

Hello SearchCactus.com International Member,
As of September 28, 2000 SearchCactus.com can no longer compensate International users. SearchCactus compensates users with a portion of the income earned from advertiser listings in our search engine. Due to advertiser complaints and concerns, and some restrictions of doing business in some countries we have had to stop compensating International users. In no way did we plan or expect this to occur.

SearchCactus.com has plans to develop SearchCactus.com International, which will be catered specifically to your country.

All of your personal information and member commissions will be stored in our database, and will be reinstated prior to the launch of SearchCactus.com International. Please remember your commissions will not be lost, they will be reinstated when SearchCactus.com International launches. If you requested a check during the month of September your earnings will be added back into your account within the next few weeks.

If you are interested in helping us build our International presence we are currently offering Franchise opportunities. Please feel free to contact us at any time at the following email address: partnerships@searchcactus.com.

Please feel free to utilize the SearchCactus.com search engine to find relevant information on the Internet.

Again, we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Sincerely,
SearchCactus.com
Management

Just to clarify things...

I wasn't saying I had been paid by SearchCactus's regular program...I've been paid by their 'Publisher Program' (I think that is what they call it). It is like LeadCrunch, CJ, LeadHound, CPABank, etc. Just a CPA offer network with lots of good high- paying offers. And, as I said before, they pay quite quickly.

[WabbyTwax]

Yeah, I forgot to mention that I gave search cactus a try also, but I guess it wasnt even worth mentioning since I was barely to earn pennies a day from them.

[meow]

Yeah, I understood that russianromero. Sorry for bringing up old crap. I just got mad again when I heard their name. :o
