    Hello all,

    I realize the question is a bit broad so let me explain.

    We have a social advertising network on facebook, called Zohark, and we want to make sure we treat our developers / publishers as well as we can.

    I am trying to get our payment terms right as well as our payout threshold.

    Our thoughts are weekly payments with a $ 75.00 payout threshold. We intend to pay via PayPal.

    I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts on this.

    Thanks in advance,
    Stas

    $75 seems a little high for weekly payout - I think $20 is more reasonable, considering it takes no more effort when you're paying by PayPal anyway.

    I agree with CountryBoy, $20 or $30 payout threshold (weekly) seems more reasonable. $75 is a little high for weekly payout.

    Weekly is good...
    but, the min payout is pretty big for someone with a new site...

    However,i'm interested in more details about your company...

    Thanks for all the feedback so far, please keep it coming.

    @ cobracrk - My pleasure.

    Niagara Media LLC is a company that is all about advertising on the web and making our partners happy.

    Our Thundertext product has a great variety of contextual ads. We have all the IAB standard contextual ads that you would expect. We also have pop-over in-line ads that only appear when someone hovers their mouse over an activated keyword. We also offer a great XML ad feed to publishers that want to format the ads themselves.

    Our newest product is called Zohark and it's a social advertising network. We launched it on facebook first and have had great success. Developers are able to monetize their apps and advertisers are able to reach a terrific audience inside facebook. I am happy to answer any other questions you may have, feel free to PM.

    Cheers,
    Stas

    Our minimum payout on Thundertext is $25 and our terms are net 30 days. If there is interest in weekly payouts, I will certainly consider it. We do pay by PayPal.

    Cheers,

    Thanks for your interest!

    We certainly allow international traffic.

    Our site requirements are very straightforward:
    We do not allow publishers into our network that have content we deem to be inappropriate. A partial list of site content that will not be included into our network of publishers appears below:

    Anything illegal
    Gambling
    Pornography
    Hate, Racism
    Violations of patents, trademarks or copyrights.
    Anything else that we deem inappropriate at any time at our sole discretion.

    We absolutely allow you to run ads on the sites you host as long as they are OK according to the above standards.

    I look forward to you joining the Thundertext family.

    Cheers,
    Stas

    Bi-weekly is perfect for me. Min payout could be lower for the new starts, about $50, would be nice.

    To much fraud is then involved with the advertisers. Advertisers need time to check on the clicks and make sure it's all legit. They need much more then 24 hours to do so.

    Thanks to everyone that has responded so far. I have added a poll to this thread so if you would be so kind, please vote for a payment term and a minimum payout. That way, Zohark and Thundertext can have the happiest developers / publishers on the web.
