    Good News. Burst Media will cover Ad market in upcoming time. Because It provides good ROI to Publishers and Advertisers. Its Good for Blinkx to use their strategy in upcoming market.

    Good News Buddy.

    So far not good. I have been with them for years, before they were named BurstMedia...suddenly got my account inactivated last night, a day before payday(today) And they owe me funds from 2009...Hopefully they are not trying to get rid of me so that they don't have to pay me.

    We will see what they say this week but hopefully Blinkx's new management for BurstMedia are not trying to steal from me.

    Well after being a loyal Burst publisher for over ten years I received notice this morning they were dropping our site IMMEDIATELY! No two-weeks or even two-day notice, no lets work together… just goodbye. If this is what Burst is turning into I’m glad they dropped me. They weren’t our highest performing network but they were the first to represent our site and have performed well. I’ve refused other networks their position in our chain. And then we’re treated like this? If the fifth most popular site in our category wasn’t good enough for them then it’s their loss.

    IMHO .. They might revised their T&C so some existing sites might not meet their new policy

    It was how they did it. No notice, no "our policies are changing and to still qualify your site needs to do this or that," no "we're sorry your site will no longer qualify after May 1." Zero warning before the accounts were totally deactivated. Apparently they think site owners just sit around playing Solitaire all day. Reality is we're in the middle of a major site redesign due May 1 and had to suddenly take hours out of the day to rearrange and re-code the existing site for the ad networks that still serve us. What about people where Burst is the only network they use, or one of only a couple? What if they were on vacation or out sick? Suddenly they'd have zero income from their sites. Burst has demonstrated they have zero respect for their publishers, whether you'd been with them for ten days or ten years. :mad:
