    I've used them about 2 years once.At first they payed fairly descent rates between 0.30-1.50cpm then all of a sudden the rates dropped around 0.02-0.05 cpm
    I suggest try them out and find out.

    Oh 2 years ago.
    Then it should be better now.
    I didn't know they have been around for that long.

    I have been using Technorati ads on my site since August 2011, but have recently taken them off. This is because on the day they were supposed to give me my first payment (Net-60, I might add), they claimed they had a problem with my Paypal email address not being recognized by Paypal. I was very surprised because none of my other advertisers (CPMStar, GAO, ReduxMedia, CPX) ever had a single problem with it. I even went through the trouble of creating another email address on the same Paypal account just in case they were telling the truth. It has been over a week now, and email queries to them causes them to respond with:

    Currently, our Accounting Department is working on getting your payment to go through via Paypal. We have a ticket open with Paypal since after speaking to customer serviced could not figure out and recommended for us to do. We are trying to quickly work to get this resolved but wanted to let you know of the situation we had been in last week. Hopefully, after the weekend, we will have this issue resolved with Paypal. Once we hear of any word, we will contact you.

    Does it really take an entire week to get a company as large as Paypal to fix something seemingly insignificant such as this?? Again, my other advertisers that I use have no problem with my Paypal address or getting me payment through it. I have heard there are those who received payment from them, but it looks as if they are intentionally holding my money back. Has anyone else experienced this issue with them? As of now, I have removed their ads and will recommend others to do the same with them.

    I actually fired off an email to them concerning this matter. They responded back with:

    Our team is getting your payments out via check to you once signed by our VP. Sorry again for the delay, and thank you for your patience.

    Regards


    I'll post here again in this thread once I receive the check (if I ever do). Notice that they said they would get it out to me once signed by the VP (vice-president, I'm assuming). And I thought they had auto-pen for this. I'm sorry that I used them for three months time, since the next check should be for about $625.00 I'm actually on the hunt for another reputable CPM or games-based publisher ad network that haven't tried yet, and I've tried plenty.

    Okay, I know I meant to post about it when I received payment, but that was over a week ago. I wasn't told all the details, but since they were having trouble paying me through Paypal, they mailed me a check. Time to replace the Adbrite code on my site that I had put there in lieu of Technorati for the latter.

    Hi guys. I'm a publisher under TM and I've earned around $80 from them the last time I checked. The problem is, I can't seem to access the login portal (http://portal.technoratimedia.com). I keep getting this 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable error, and so far, TM hasn't responded to any of my e-mails regarding the matter. Is the portal also down for you guys? Thanks.

    I'm just a little worried, I guess :(.

    Hrm, never mind. The portal's back up. They also said that I'd be getting my first payment first week of January. Will post payment proofs if ever.
