One day I found my montly earning is suddenly dropping from $9.XX to $2.XX, I send them email and ask them to investigate. AdBrite asked me send them screenshot to show this! Who is keeping their screenshot everyday? is it riduculous? Be careful with the damn AdBrite!
I'm not saying it's happening, but it would make the most sense to syphon off the top of the little guy. Who are you going to believe, the big scary company or the guy that can hardly get his site off the ground? On top of that, steal from a HUGE corporation and there is a good chance they have a lawyer (and take daily screen shots ). However, Fine, it would likely help your cause if you could give anything more then just a few lines of text to back up your story. Traffic stats may help... I mean, if you got 3,000 visits two months ago but only 800 last month, that would certainly make a difference. Did you change your ad placement? Maybe you got a SERP drop? There are many variables that we do not know so there is no real way we are going to take your word for it. Q
If you read my sentence clearly you will know that I don't said anything bad about Adbrite or our Mr/Mrs/Miss 'fine'... No bad intention or whatsoever so chill out. I just find it funny of how big the amount of cash that was stolen if its real.. Thats all.. *Sigh... Cheers! Sha
I'm sorry, I did not mean to imply you were really talking bad about anyone. I guess my wording was off.
Since they pull campaigns from outside ad servers, chances are they are just adjusting the numbers to match up with the outside ad server. Happens in all networks, and is in the terms you agreed to as a publisher.
They aren't stealing, they just "adjust" your revenue. Lots of domain parking places do this as well... However, Adbrite's revenue is generally crappy, so I wouldn't recommend them anyway. I love how people casually toss the word "stealing" around when they have no idea what's going on.
I joined Adbrite in March 2006 and after one year in March 2007, my 1st check of 65$ issued and about waiting for 2 months no check reached, so I contact Adbrite about the issue, they reply that 1st they will investigate and then will reissue the check. and its August and its 6th month I am waiting for reissue check, I emailed them a lot of times and every time they replied near about same message "Thank you for writing in. We apologize for the long wait you have experienced for your missing payment. We have submitted another urgent request with the Finance department to issue your check as promptly as possible. We will send you an email as soon as your new check has been reissued. Thank you for your patience and let us know if you have any further questions. Best Regards, Alice S.

It could be the fact that some of your earnings were reversed due to bad traffic that you sent or something along them lines.
i got a check from them for 2 months ago earning, i hate their slowness --> net 60 ? that's a long wait ... and i only set min to $20 why would you set min $65? u want to get your money asap because you can't trust them .. my point is just their check did arrived, net 60, it wasn't late according to their schedule. one time i saw a decrease in my earning on my dashboard and then i found out it's the dashboard period that shown a different time frame so it was my mistake. and yes their clicks are cheap, 4 cents per click average.
i never had a problem with them. get my check every month, never had my revenue "adjusted" or anything like that.
