    I have not received it yet, they work with a small team and takes some time to send all cheques.

    Also stats are delayed sometimes, this is because they have to wait for the stats from doubleclick, valueclick media etc.

    460 video plays for $1.38?
    This in just 2 days after placing my first video...
    Pretty far from being a good deal in my opinion.
    Gotta look for other alternatives.

    aleiderman: Video Feed Revenue pays you slightly more, had you set that in a video feed rather than just embed the single video then it would have earned you $1.84.

    Also Im guessing you did not set video to auto play, if you had then you would earn a good amount depending on your site traffic as each impression is counted.

    Overall $4 CPM is a VERY good rate you will find no better alternative.

    I'm getting over 20k daily pageviews on that site.
    Didn't check the auto play feature.

    aleiderman: Try it with the autoplay feature enabled, this loads the video automatically after playing a short advertisement.

    I think you can be looking at making a fair amount with TNR with the traffic you have.

    Panjabi, Thanks for the auto play tip.
    Too bad the player sizes are huge, but I'll give it a try and post my results.

    aleiderman: I wouldnt recommend it but other users here have put their videos away at the bottom of their pages, out of view but the impressions still count...

    One of them has even put a text news item there too which adds a further $1 CPM to earnings!

    True say the video formats are huge but Ive just about managed to fit in the 300x700 into my site

    Well theres many formats, but the 300x700 is the one Im using as it fits perfectly into my sidebar.

    The 300 width is the video, the 700 length is the rest of the playlist.

    You are so right !.
    If you want to make money with Voxant then set the video to auto play. :)
    I totally agree with you that $4 CPM is an extremely good rate, even for Adsense, because many times I get beyond 1000 impressions and make a lot less with Adsense.

    You have to remember though with adsense your ad's load a lot quicker, with slower widgets NOT all page impresssions are counted, I have noticed voxants widgets are even slower than widget bucks - so you will be looking at 60% of widgets loading long enough to play.

    You're right as well.:), I've got a blog with tons of visits and since I embed these ads the average time increased.

    Are "myRevenue" stats delayed in Voxant newsroom accounts? I decided to give the program a try...crazy not to really with all that money they are offering...

    I am using the video feed with autoplay and I've had it up for an hour or so, but the stats remain at "0". My site has had 45 unique visitors in that amount of time....so there should be something that shows in my stats, right? Unless, of course, stats are delayed and do not automatically show up.

    I think they update daily - I am pretty sure I read it on their site.
