Anyone ever use the adnetwork Q1media? They specialize in video pre-rolls as advertisements mostly.. http://next.q1media.com/
They are scam, i have tried to get my payment for 4 months... and still no payment. they owe me $150.
I posted this review elsewhere after another week of no response to my payment inquiry. I ran their ads from late June 2016 to early September 2016 (dashboard screenshot – $3,599.75 in revenue – http://i.imgur.com/QamCwC1.png). Q1Media pays out under NET 60 terms and seemed reputable on the surface based on my research on the company so I gave them the benefit of the doubt and waited until Nov 18 to inquire about payment (ticket screenshot – http://i.imgur.com/Nyl6IgN.png). The ticket remained open for 19 days until I followed up again on Dec 7 and still no response. I also e-mailed my Q1Media reps and have yet to receive a response after 14 days now. I have tested numerous ad networks (I have properties ranked within Alexa’s top 8000 sites) and Q1Media is the only ad network I’ve come across so far to not pay (and have yet to pay) in a timely manner. Based on several reports of Q1Media's non-payments that I've come across, this seems to have been the case since 2013 and I’m apparently serving as another data point for 2016. Don’t be the next one.
I used them for a six-month stint about a year ago. Never had any problems with payment, though it came via check in the mail. Always had pretty solid rates too. But I dropped them after that time as I was getting a few redirects. Nothing major, but those irritate me. For the most part they were pretty good.
First stopped they started paying late with excuses like their controller was sick. Then they stopped paying but promised a check was in the mail. Now they are not even responding to publishers. We've seen this before, they'll be out of business very soon. Q1 Media is a scam, publisher's beware.
