    Pros - CPA and CPM based...conversions results in high pay. Like netflix...about 50 bucks signup...or was it 100 bucks...don't remember. IT was a lot though. They fill up your space...probably a high fill rate, but not 100%...Also high referal program...$125 per referal.

    Con's - Low CPM rates...Doesn't answer e-mails...if they do, it's a copy and paste e-mail that has nothing to do with your question...Your best bet to get your answer e-mail is go to http://www.vendaremedia.com/ and contact them there.

    Also the report page doesn't work everytime you check on it...it just sits there and lags...also I seen days where the report never updates.​

    About Payments - Not sure...never got paid from them yet...and yea it's been 5 months. well...I tried to get paid ASAP, right when I signed up. But they require you to send in a w2 form. And I did...but they never got it. Then I sent it in again, and they didn't get it again. And one more time...and the same result. So 3 times. Then I just decided to let the bills rack up till the end of the year. Which is now...and I just sent in another form today. I'm gonna call them to see if they got it, because I actually faxed it this time.

    Would I Recommend? - No, if you can get into fastclick and casale or other larger networks...If you can't then yes...I hear from people that they do pay on time...just their e-mail is hella whack.

    I have just gotten through my frist month with them (december), The publisher interface is very poor and looks horrible in Safari and FFox and as the above post says, it just doesnt work sometimes and you get back ASP errors, not very professional. In terms of rates, december was very good actually, I have yet to see how they audit the earnings, hopefully it wont be a huge bite. But once the month turned over it got absolutly horrible, All the sudden I was getting NOTHING but the scourge of all internet ads, the smiley faces (literally nothing but them) so I am not too sure what the deal is with that.

    I am a member of Casale, but their fill rate is way less than desierable, so even if you get accepted you will still want a second network to pick up the impressions Casale doesn't fill. I got accepted to realtech network the other day, so I'm giving that a try as a replacement for TMP at the bottom tier. Also, you need to fill out and send it a W9 form, not W2 (even though I'm sure you just made a typo)

    Yea that's what I meant.

    So did you get paid from them yet? Or you didn't pass the 50bucks threshold? I really hate their e-mail system. Recently I just dropped 20k impressions to them...only giving them 2k now. I made like .85 on 20k impressions and I was like WTF...

    I hate small tier networks...because I keep hearing that they never pay you. But recently they just made a move didn't they? They moved to cali.

    I'm currently using budsinc.com because I hear that they pay on time. I'm seeing .25 cpm on skyscrapers and leaderboards. Is that good? It's my first month.

    I havn't gotten paid yet, only been with them since december. I actually did really good in december with them and racked up about $900, but then they just seemed to flip a switch and now all I get are smiley banners that pay .01 cpm (grrr) I try to email them but there is just no one paying attention it seems. I really hope they do pay as 900 isn't exactly a small amount of money. I would consider 0.25 on a leaderboard to be ok, but thats because I have been getting such horrible cpms lately, hopefully it will change soon though.

    Wow man, that's good. Their cpm seems to be dropping. I should be getting around 700 from them this month, if they decide to write the check.

    the weird thing about them is, my friend said that he never gave them his paypal account e-mail, but they sent his payments to his e-mail login. Luckily that was his paypal e-mail though.

    Yay I just gotten paid by them. Well, i'm please now. As long as they pay on time, then I'm fine. I sent in my form and they got it in 2-5 days. No problem this time.

    E-mail support still sucks though.

    Well, after using TMP Express for 3 months I must say that their lack of (or non-exsistant) support is unacceptable. They just plain do not pay attention, I have sent a total of 8 mails to TMP and their parent company, I got 1 reply. I havn't had any replys for importiant issues, like removing ads from rotation, which they say you can do. Also 80% of the impressions they fill are trash Smiley Central banners that are worthless and annoying to the point of where it chases people away. I am looking into a suitable replacement for them. The lack of response is just completely unprofessioinal and unacceptable, espeically when I am providing them with 130,000+ uniques a month (sure not huge, but not small either). Unless they get their support together I am very dissatisfied with the experience I am having with them.

    I just removed them from one of my heavier site...because of the crappy support and low rates, and I also just wrote a better review located here...

    http://adtalks.com/?id=3

    If you are looking for a better network you should try something like fastclick.com, casalemedia.com, tribalfusion.com...etc. Those are the top networks. I been rejected like 10 times already...Maybe I need to reach 5k visitors per day first or 10k...

    If you can't get into that type of market, casale, fastclick, I think you should go with, budsinc.com or now cpxinteractive.com. They have better rates than tmpexpress.com. I just finished a review about them from the same site. Fastclick, you all heard and read about them, but you don't much about the smaller networks, and I think budsinc is gonna be a top tier network soon.

    and they have a thing where they are accepting all publishers. http://adtalks.com/?id=8 that is the review link. I hope you find it useful.
