hello Todd.. my account was approved after I contacted you guys @buysellads and the empty square inviting people to advertise also showed up in the sidebar for a long time but I wasn’t lucky to get any ads – so just recently took the code off.. may be I’ll try it again next year.

thanks for showing up here!

Hmm, really interesting post about PerformancingAds. I have a few colleagues that have used them will little success on their sites. Most of them felt a little tied down and were really underwhelmed with the overall performance levels. Recently, I have been looking at Howcast's Advertising and Marketing Videos to find some new ideas, but am open to hear about any other success stories???

I am one more unsatisfied user of PerformancingAds. Their customer service could be a lot better and the fact that they didnt pay me my commission made me stop using them. And I dont plan to come back either. Nina @ cookerss last blog post..Free Slow Cooker Recipes

I'm sorry to hear about your unpleasant experience with PerformancingAds. I'm facing problem with them of another kind. They have not make payment for commissions I earned in August. I've contacted them twice and both times they came back with some "lip service" excuses, and I'm still waiting for a resolution till now. Once I got paid my rightful commissions, I'll take down the code off my blog. betshopboys last blog post..Web Hosting Directory

nice to hear about a first hand experience with performancingads, heard a lot about it but, i found nothing like what you went through… i guess it doesn’t live up to the hype it’s getting…

kouji - i don't have a clue on ScratchBack's next plans, so only time will tell if I'll stay or leave but for the time being, it's pretty good. Click on one of the links on the widget if you decide to try it :) pearls last blog post..Carnival of Healing #156

still thinking about scratchback. i wonder though how much of a cut they'll receive once the beta is over. right now, i think, they get 10% of what's left over from paypal. would you still use it if that went up to 30%? kouji haikus last blog post..haiku poem

Hi Tim.. may be so.. I just don’t know how their system works and I’m not the first person to have experienced this, there are many who have pointed out the flaws.. read the post Mig wrote a while ago http://www.ewriting.pamil-visions.com/2008/09/08/performancingads/ And they haven’t done anything about it since!

That’s downright rude. So they probably have a cutoff where under a certain amount, they just keep it all or something.
I think if you aren’t getting paid, you should be under no obligation whatsoever.

Hi Kouji.. yes, ScratchBack is a great concept for the readers as well as the content producer so I guess I'll keep that widget! I'm not sure who got paid with that ad, but it was not me :) pearls last blog post..Carnival of Healing #156

strange. you can't delete because a paid ad is posted, but then the ad wasn't actually paid for? that scratchback looks promising. :) will look into it. koujis last blog post..haiku poem

@John.. I don't know many of them who tried them but from amongst the ones I know, didn't seem to have much luck either @Steven: I remember signing up with BuySellAds a while ago but never heard from them so completely forgot about them. Just checked now after seeing your comment but they are still in beta and haven't activated my account! I'd be trying them when they do.. thanks for stopping by pearls last blog post..Carnival of Healing #156

I haven't used Performancing Ads, but I have have good experiences with BuySellAds. I've been using them on two sites and recently started using them on my primary blog as well. Their system is easy to use as a publisher or an advertiser and they provide good support if needed... And best of all, I haven't had any Michael Jackson ads on any of my sites.

I myself never had much luck with PerformancingAds although I don't know if I gave it a fair try. I just wasn't that crazy about it and decided to go back. John Edwardss last blog post..Baltimore Real Estate
