I did. But I missed it. It's in the FAQ. It wasn't in How It Works or Account Home and I thought it might be in Settings in case there were some choices for minimum payout. And I missed it when I scanned the FAQ the first time. You know, it is really better to build goodwill by being helpful and pleasant to people in these forums. Being sarcastic to me because I couldn't find this info, or combative to some of the other posters in this thread who had criticisms, builds bad will, which FYI is not good for business.

Please try not to bite At the moment I'm getting "404 - Not Found" and it's hindering the page to load.
Re: 404 We found a really sporadic bug in the new load balancer code that was causing this. Shouldn't happen anymore. It was so sporadic we couldn't even reproduce it. I think some people saw it more often than others.
We track clicks and impressions as sort of volatile data. Its stored in memory, and if the daemon needs to be restarted or something that info for a period of time can be lost. I'm sure hits and clicks from yesterday got lost. This has NO bearing on the clicks actually going through, or your revenue being tracked. You should see things come back to normal today.
After one month, I've made $8. Not an amazing amount, but I do still really like them and hope that it only picks up as I work on driving more traffic to my sites.
Has anyone noticed the income reporting to lag behind the traffic/clicks reporting? The reason I ask is I have the script running on two sites. I have 12,000 impressions, 250 clicks, and $0 in revenue. I am just wondering if I may see some income show up down the road for past clicks.
you do realize you don't get paid per click, right? The "lag" you mention is the wait for an ebay auction to end. If someone goes to ebay via your actionads, bids on something and ends up winning it, then you get money, so this could be more then a week after his initial click.
There is quite a large lag, sometimes over a week (don't forget that some auctions run for 10 days). I've been looking at the past month's earnings and keep seeing small amounts popping up from weeks ago. Which is why I was saying earlier, there's no point trying this for a week and then giving up. Give it a month - I have and have been pleased with the results. Particularly on my forum, which used to get zero adsense clicks. Now the forum itself has only earned a few bucks, but that's a few bucks more than it used to. My total for the month is just over $20, which isn't a bad start. PArticularly compared to the CJ offerings I had in a similar position on my site, which earned feck all.
I have just made a blog post about my experience after 1 month - I am pretty pleased all things considered. If you grab your stats once a day (select current month) and keep a copy of it, you will notice that some of those days increase sometimes a few days later. I have noticed the income can lag up to 3-5 days from the click.
Yes, that much I realize. I just figured with 250 clicks, I would have at least earned something. I will keep watching, see if any past income pops up.
