    BEWARE {Don't waste your time with them}

    They also don't pay $1 CPM.

    I tried them.

    It doesn't pay $1 CPM flat rate as mentioned on their website.

    Another scam...

    They piss you off at around $0.10 (even more low) and say we smart price. :mad: {If you do then why you have not made it clear on your page i quote above?}

    Not worth trying at all.

    do you really think the advertisers would pay $1.50+ raw cpm when they can use the big networks for a lot less?

    One reason would be to find some refferals.. and mathematically 1000 ad impressions with ~1% CTR ( it is good ctr I think) would be 10 clicks. 10clicks=$1.5 1click=$0.15 , It is not worth to pay that much for only a prbability to get that much clicks, for example at obeus, or adwords with the right keywords you could buy ~10-30 clicks for that price..

    Because they did pay $1.00 CPM for raw impressions, it's since been changed in just the last few days, and the admins forgot to update the pages of the site to reflect that change.

    It's now all smart priced, each site earns based on performance with a combination of impressions, clicks, and conversions. I believe CPX Interactive works in a similar way.

    Since the introduction of the smart pricing I'm still pleased with my rates, one site is earning $5.5 per CPM, others are between .25 and .75 CPM.

    It all comes down to performance, and I think it's a pretty fair system really.

    It shows unprofessional attitude of admin and their team.

    It cannot be trusted any more.

    I thought you said they rejected you ? Last I checked most scam programs let everyone and the dog join just to rake in fast cash.

    Were there errors on the pages showing the old earnings profile ? yes, and they have since been changed. It was an oversight, a bad one I agree, but the admins there have been busy adding more ad formats, and doing a ton of other things. Does it excuse the delay in changing the wording on the site ? No, but it is at least a bit understandable why it happened. Busy people are human too, and we ALL overlook things now and again.

    I can see why Mongo was upset, he joined believing one thing and found another later.

    You however are just spitting sour grapes because they rejected your application.

    Like I said in my last post, I completely understand your position and why you were upset to some extent, but in the end I'm not sure why the smart pricing is so God awful world ending to people, unless they all ready know their websites aren't bringing in good, converting traffic and are hoping to ride the coattails of site owners who do have converting traffic.

    No, you are not understanding the point correctly.

    Problem is not with their 'smart pricing' every ads agency has right to implement it. BUT the problem is that they must have made changes on their website FIRST.

    Do you get my point? :rolleyes:

    That is unprofessional attitude + consider as scam to attract publishers displaying some good values then silently doing their part. :rolleyes:

    Smart pricing is in every ad network but its right thing to do but must be done in right way too.

    It seems they are rather new I think and if they pay $1 on banner impressions then they are paying higher than some of the top tier cpm networks, which I very doubt would ever happen.

    Oh I understand your point.

    You believe that since they discussed the proposed smart pricing plan with all current publishers and made the adjustments that we all voted on prior to changing the text on their website it = scam.

    It was nothing more than a simple oversight, and changed as soon as it was realized.

    It's not like this is an ongoing issue, there was a delay of maybe a day at most where the smart pricing went into effect and the text was changed, should it have been sooner ? Sure, but it doesn't mean they = scam

    Mong, I think a reality check is needed here. *IF* you checked the forum, it was announced before it came into affect, even a big notice in the control panel said to register with the forums and check for updates.

    If you don't bother reading notices or are registered blind, then fair do's, but to slate them publically because as an existing customer you didnt bother to keep up to date with announcements, is far more unprofessional than they are.

    I dont like smart pricing either, but it's becoming a fact of life with advertising networks. Google dont talk about it before you sign up, let's hear what you have to say about them:

    So that make it a Scam???!!! that's nonsense


    after signing up there is a big notice for publishers to check the forums for news so it's actually not their problem if you were blinded or even was lazy to check it

    and if you had read the forums you would have noticed that they have impelemented Smart Pricing but before that they were really paying 1$ flat CPM but now the rate Became dependant of your performance the better you perform the better revenue you get i can't see any scam in that
    it's too fair you can even earn more than 1$ CPM myself i am doing about 1.5$ CPM and there are publishers who are making more than that even 5-10$ CPM

    they even paid the publishers earlier to prove to all of you that they are not a scam and the whole last payments was paid on 1$ Flat CPM basis

    and they have a great support and a very nice admin and would help you in any thing you want

    so i strongly suggest that before you judge ,you must first know how things are going not just say that they are scam because your ads are performing bad

    Advert-Revenue is a very respectable people and i stongly advice you to give it a try before you judge it . and don't take one or two people's opinions who want to earn much money with a low performing ads


    Cheers
    Adel
