    Good enough to actually get a check? I don't think I've run into anyone that actually has gotten enough traffic/clicks to get a check. I've been running it in a few places to test, and this is what I have so far:

    76,752 impressions, getting 73 clicks and earning $3.24. Works out to a CPM of $0.04. haha, lovely. I've also had 22 referrals which you get $5 each from, but those earnings are withheld unless they make $50 or more. So I don't imagine that $110 will be anything I ever get.

    Yeah, I did some testing with it, with a little better CPM as Shawn: 15,238 impressions, 63 clicks, $2.55 + a couple referrals... Once google allowed 3 ads per page, clicksor got the boot (I was using them as the default ads...)

    So far this month:

    Site A:
    864 impressions
    8,114 clicks
    $26.42 revenue

    Site B:
    15,887 impressions
    1,252 clicks
    $39.18 revenue

    But... this is because I enabled their somewhat annoying keyword underlining technology.

    They simply have not signed up enough advertisers to generate relevant ads for 98% of my content.

    I keep thinking about turning them off... and then I don't. I think that's a sign of some form of mental illness.

    How do you get 8000+ clicks with less than 1000 impressions?

    Clicksor SUCKED for me. Not even close to a 0.1% CTR, so I am not crazy to be using them, when Google adsense can get mad about it. Technically it's not forbidden, but Google's TOS are messed up, aren't they?

    Since I started this topic, I thought I'd let you know I configured Clicksor ok - I've earnt about 30 US which isn't really enough but use it as an alternative to Google PSA ads, so perhaps that's a good figure.

    I'm personally going to stick with it until I get my 50 US (which they can pay by Paypal BTW...which is a bonus!)

    I used clicksor on a site with about 6000-8000 uniques per day... 230,000 visits, and earned 65$ in 2,5 months... well... judge for yourself.

    I earn about $45 per month

    Clicksor seems to provide XML feed, right?

    I think XML can earn more than just only adding text banner

    I thought the payouts were extremely low for text-link ads. Especially since they were very intrusive and annoying to have your content lit up with hyper-links to ads (slow loading ads). I've had the most success with Google and Tribal Fusion. Granted Google blows Tribal away, but Tribal offers a good CPM program that compliments pages with Google ads nicely.

    misohoni was stating there may be a reporting problem, I think clicking the ad to see would be an easy way to tell, greatlinks...

    Yes that's right, I was only testing to see if Clicksor works (which I can reportly say is up and running and earning me 1 dollar a day).

    So Clicksor:

    1) Works for me
    2) Pays v low amounts

    :rolleyes:

    Ive been using clicksor for about 4 months now but still I cant reach the earning barrier. Another thing is theyre ads are slow.
