    Adpubster - YES!
    "Advanced Reports" and then "View all referral products"

    The last time I checked (counted, actually), there were 69 advertisers total.
    Today, I count about 322, plus 7 Google Referral products.
    Things seem to be moving along quite well.
    I gotta go back and check all the new ones, for viability.
    Probably have to check every day now, at least for a while.

    It's only been a couple of days, but zero money, so far.

    Good deal! I'll have to go back in there and see if there's anything more appropriate so I can start giving it a fair shake. So far I've only found one but hey, all things have to start somewhere!

    After checking some more, I find that -

    1. Some Advertisers are listed 2, 3, 4, 5 (hotel rooms), 7 (classes USA), 8 (coupons and free samples), even 11 times (email marketing service) - each appear to be the SAME ad, so there seems to be some "padding" here.

    2. I found one advertiser by keyword search, who is NOT included in the "Find More Products" search. So, do not assume that every advertiser can be found using the "Find More Products" search.

    To see all advertisers available, the best way may be to go to "Advanced Reports" section and "view all Referral products", as described above. My "missing" advertiser is listed there. And since the list is in alphabetical order, the "duplicate advertisers" are all very easy to spot.

    19 cents, eh?
    That must really be some hot "action".

    But then, there are those who specify the "Action" as n/a, and the Payment as "$0.00". These may even pay less!

    Yup, publishers will need to know a little bit about what is going on rather than just slapping their code all over the place. Might even weed a few lazy ones out!

    I just noticed that Google needs to update this page, for Adsense PPA -

    "What is a conversion in my referral reports?"
    https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?answer=27415

    And What is a "Signup"? (stats column), and
    How much does it pay, if anything? If not, what is its significance?
    We have CTR. Will we have SUR? (SignUp Rate)

    A HUGE complaint. Advertisers can cancel their PPA program whenever they want. One minute, I sell an eBook, the next minute, the program is GONE!

    This is a huge hit for me, the only PPA which was working, and they disabled it on their end. Sad, sad sad...

    This thing ain't quite ready for primetime! Did you get any notification or did you just happen across the fact that it had been pulled?

    I just came across it. Looked through my adsense stats and noticed it wasn't getting anymore impressions while everything else was, then checked the referrals and did several searches for it... never showed up.
