Is Snoork Gone?

    I was using Snoork as a third tier network (really it was not doing much for me, .15 CPM for all US traffic, that's no good), and I went to go check something the other day and the site looks gone. Can't log in, none of the links work, what's the story? I'm glad I only have like $15 in the account but that sucks.

    I just wanted to open a new thread on this topic. I was accepted by them two days ago, but ever since, I successfully logged in a couple of times only. It's very, very slow.

    Yeah, the ads on my site are loading extremely slow. Just received an email from them saying that they will be performing some system upgrades and some stuff may not work for 24 hours.

    Yeah, me too. It's nice to be informed when companies perform upgrades.

    I have contacted them about it too and they told me they use additional ad networks to offer 100% fill rate on their ads. They probably don't have many advertisers and that's why.

    Maybe they are under a DDOS attack?

    Great rates but super slow-loading ads. The cause why they can never fill out 100% of my ad inventory.

    But still pretty good than other networks. Wonder if they do pay? Still waiting for my first payment. :D

    Yep, their CPM rates are pretty good, today my average CPM was 14 cents, not too bad.

    When you will get paid by them, can you post your payment proof, because I don't think I will earn my minimum payout by the end of this month and I would like to know if they pay too.

    But I went o bestbuck's website and it seems like he got paid by them, http://bestbucks.info/payment-proof/

    This month so far I've already accumulated around $1.5k. This is only 1-2 banners since I don't want to store too much revenue without getting paid yet. Sometimes I even remove their ads. :cool:

    But the good thing is that they've listened to my suggestion which is to implement an iframe-type ad codes so that it won't affect the speed of my site when their ads are loading slow.

    With their rates, it's easy to earn $6-8k/month with my site.

    Also, their support is pretty impressive, most of the time they answer all my questions in less than an hour via email. I just hope they're also that impressive when it comes to payment. :D

    Yes, I've seen many proofs that they've paid before, but I still wouldn't give in to anything 'till I'll get the payment myself.

    Sure, I'll let you guys know when I've been paid. They said it should be on the first or second week of September. I'm still having my fingers crossed on this. :eek:

    FYI they're already offering Paypal as another payment method (they were exclusive to checks before), in case you didn't know yet. ;)

    They do, paypal is the only method they have for now. The payment should process much faster than before and more trust!

    My experience with snoork.com - Their rate was good, but take long time to load!
