Do FastClick Pay?

Do fast click pay out?

i have made about $58 and it says paid 20th november.

I was wondering if anyone has ever been paid by fast click

[Jan]

Yes, they pay. Your cheque is on the way as I type. :cool:

[Chris2k2]

Ahh good, at least i know i haven't had ads on for the past 3 months for no reason at all.
And it will pay for the new hosting i bought the other day :D

[Archbob]

You should have gotten a check today.

[Chris2k2]

Well you see i live in the UK so it will take some time to get over here i think

[Jan]

Yeah, I usually receive mine between 27th and 29th :)

[Archbob]

Funny, I guess they really like paying me, I got my paypal payment the day before yesterday.

[Jan]

I was referring to cheques not paypal. If I used paypal I would have got mine the day before yesterday too.

[Chris2k2]

Well when they get that bank payment thing up i will use that then

[Obe1]

chris i can't believe fastclick didn't even drop you yet. since you need 3 months to make the mine requirements for check. and your site is a gaming site. how did you even get in at the first place? did you tell them you get 10,000 unique?

[Chris2k2]

What are you on about i get 10,000? I get no where near that.

I get about 400 visits a day that's not a lot really.

[Obe1]

no, i was saying is that what you entered. So you entered 400 on
the application? Cause I thought they won't accept any site that doesn't have at least 1,000 unique a day. anyways whats your default banner % are you getting? I am getting around 80% and this is like killing me.

[Archbob]

My gaming site gets around 250 uniques and its making me a good $20 per month off banners and po-unders. I get around 15% defaults. I have a solid 1.5% CTR.

[Obe1]

i guess the default got to do how many impression you give them.. do you get higher defaults durring weekends? mine during weekends go any where from 85%-93% weekdays are around 75%-80%.


archbob, is there something unique about your gaming site that fastclick accepted you? usually gaming is liek the worst site.

[Chris2k2]

I am making about $30 a month off my site.

How are you finding out these default things?

[Obe1]

its the button at the upper right hand corner of your 468 banner status.

[Chris2k2]

If you are on about payout rates i get 65%

[Archbob]

No, when fastclick does not have a normal banner to show, they show a default. I get about 15% defaults. I already had an account with fastclick on my freebie site so when I applied with my gaming site, they accepted within two days. My gaming site has a good 1.5% CTR, which is why there aren't that many defaults I'm guessing.

[Obe1]

i got 3-5% ctr, and still get high defaults.

[Archbob]

Thats strange, how many views do you get a day? I get slightly over 600 per day for my gaming site.

[Obe1]

25,000 pagviews and 4,500 unique around .

[Jan]

My defaults average are 14.5 with CTR 2.52.

Obe1, do you have a high percentage of non US/Canada visitors? That's about the only thing I can think of for your high default percentage :confused:

[Obe1]

i think i get 80% US/Canada traffic.

how much traffic u give to fastclick?

[Jan]

Around 150,000 a month. I don't have their ads on all pages. Having said that, I am about to replace i-clicks code with fastclick. :(

[Kaliber]

May I ask what your site is Obe1?

[Chris2k2]

Well i got a check today, $57.40 on it.
:D

I'll be happy to put that into my bank.
Can i ask are any of you from england here who cash $ checks?
If so do the bank not say anything about it or do you have to get it exchanged?

[Obe1]

of course cashing international check has a fee.. i hear people had to pay $8 to cash the check. but they are not from england.

[Chris2k2]

Yeah i know they will charge.

[Obe1]

don't england have there own sponsor company? canada has focusin...

[Archbob]

Its strange that you have such a high default, have you contacted fastclick. My traffic is 75% USA.

[Chris2k2]

Well as long as i make enough cash to pay the domain and hosting i will be happy with that.
A bit of extra cash to spend would be nice as well. He He :D

[Archbob]

Well, I'm aiming at paying off my tuition which comes at a nice $25,000 per year, not happening yet.

why not get a real job? :D

[Archbob]

Need to concentrate on my studies. Sites don't take that much time to maintain, a job is different.

[Obe1]

well when you create a site it takes alot of time. don't you think? unless you just put a few html table together that is another story.

[Chris2k2]

Well i went and cashed my check with Halifax and they took £10 of the money off me for converting it from USD to GBP

I was not at all happy with this and cannot use PayPal to get the money transferred as i don't have a bank card that can be used on pay pal.

That means i only got £26 off the check.
And it will take 28 days to go into my account

TSB used to make me wait 28 days as well, but now they do it in a few days although if they cheque bounces then they will take the money away again lol, but good if you wantt he money fast and trust the source.

also you shoudl set the minimum for cheque's from fastclick at $100 or so (as higha s you can aford) because it really saves money, evan if you only save £20 over 3 months its still £20 :)

[Chris2k2]

Well i got a letter off my bank today saying i have £28 to withdraw when ever i want to.

But it's still a lot of money of my checks. Im using PayPal now so it can pay into my bank account
