Anyone ever used them? Just curious if you have had had any problems with receiving payment. They haven't sent me one check in the over six months that I've used them for one of my sites and the total is in the three digit area so it's way over the minimum.

TIA

They are owned by Standard Internet right? I got paid when I was with them through another one of their affiliate sites, but I have also heard bad things about them. You should get paid.

I've actually been back and forth via email with them today and they are refusing to pay even though I have served their ads for six months. They said they flaged the site back when I first started but oddly enough they kept serving the ads.

The first email said "you are serving more than one popup" and told me to review the rules. I did so and in the rules it says no more than two. So I pointed this out and told them it's not about the money now it's the pricipals. They responded back with yes it is the priciples and when our advertisers follow the rules they get paid.

My response was that I didn't think they had a problem when they billed their advertisers and I'm sure they didn't put much thought into cashing the check.

Actually after going back and doing screen shots it's been almost eight months in total they continued to serve ads.

Yeah thats one tendancy they tend to have. They continue to serve ads without you knowing it even though you are banned.

They use to be great, but the moment they changed the click rate for allclicks.com, everything went down hill.

also Ive noticed that while they the first days first counted about every visitor when comparing to sitemeter, they now count about one third of the unique sitemeter visits.. Sure some visitors have popupkillers and many close the popups before they have fully loaded but the decline is a bit puzzling. But it's probably only due to the fact that Ive only gotten a few hundred unique visitors so far and that it may fluctuate.

Well those are the terms you agreed to when you signed up. they state up front that they do not notify people who are violating the terms. So, it shouldn't be surprising that they do exactly what they said they would.
