Publishers are paid between the 15th and 30th of every month, for the previous months earnings. Minimum payout level of $25.00 for Paypal payments, no minimum for transfers to an advertiser account. Payments are made via Paypal to the email address listed on the publishers account. If a publisher has an advertiser account also, and would like to have balances transferred, please use the contact button in the members area to let us know. You must provide us full details of your publisher and advertiser accounts, we will then set your account to transfer balances monthly.
We do not have a minimum volume requirement for publishers or advertisers. We do have quality guidelines for publishers though, which includes click through rates, origins of traffic, ratio of unique/repeat traffic, etc. We do not publish these requirements, as this could be used to circumvent our quality control system. We reserve the right to cancel any accounts that we feel do not appropriately represent our advertisers.
We do not have any unpaid ads in our system. Our quality control system will at times serve ads without crediting the publishers account or charging the advertisers. We again will not publish the criteria, but this is only done when ad displays on a publishers account are from repetitive refreshing of pages, or browsing patterns that are not typical of normal browsing behavior (example: bots, autosurfing, etc.).
