Based on Vibrant terms and conditions…

4.2 Payment Terms. Not more than fifteen (15) days after the end of each calendar month, Vibrant will e-mail to Publisher or post in the Vibrant Publisher Dashboard a finalized revenue statement for amounts due to Publisher for that calendar month. Vibrant will pay Publisher in accordance with the revenue statement not later than forty-five (45) working days following the delivery of the revenue statement. If payments due to Publisher for any month are less than seventy-five dollars ($75), Vibrant may, in its discretion, credit amounts due to Publisher’s account and pay them in the next month in which cumulative amounts due meet or exceed that threshold. All payments will be made in U.S. Dollars.

This payment consists May earning @ USD 3.12 and June earning @ USD 509.39 == USD 512.51. The USD to RM conversion is a little bit low ~ 1 USD = 3.0862 RM. Based on Malaysia Bank Negara, the rate is 1 USD = 3.1060 RM. Maybe there is some processing fees incur.

Are you publishing Vibrant In-Text Ads? How is your earning lately? Mine is going down hill…

Innity June payment

I only enable CPM campaign in Innity Performance Network. And the earning depends on advertisers a lot. I will get very less income from Innity if few CPM campaigns are assigned. Why I disable CPC campaign? Image ads do not work well in CPC mode. Fewer clicks compare to CPC text link ads like Google AdSense on the same above the fold placement. Seem like Malaysian don’t like to click on image ads.

Do you click on ads?

The 27th Nuffnang cheque

I lost count how many Nuffnang cheques that I received. I am getting payment every month (if I remember to cash out it). Hehe… I just counted. This is my 27th Nuffnang cheque. The first cash out request was on 29 October 2007 13:22. Time flies…

Only the strong will survive. Nuffnang vs. Advertlets. Definitely, Nuffnang is the clear winner. Why? I am a happy blogger who getting monthly Nuffnang payment. But a blogger still fighting hard to get his hard earn money from Advertlets. Check it out here. Anyone can help him?

Innity April payment

It is not easy but not hard also to get certified as SP Blogger’s Certified Make Money Tool. Only 10 on time payments will make it to the list. So far Google AdSense, ADSDAQ and Nuffnang managed to get listed. Rest assures that they will bring you revenue because I am still getting good earning from them.

By the way, I will give Innity for another 1 month of trial. If 3 continued months with virtual no earning, no point to publish its ads, right? Because, it will…

Slow down website loading speed == low ranking in Google == No No

Finally, I did not have problem to withdraw Google AdSense payment by using Western Union service at Sungai Petani Public Bank. Last few months, the staff refused to process my withdrawal due to miss match on first and last name. Well, the lovely staff that attended me today managed to solve that simple problem. Let say, My IC name is Koay Ah Ka. So my first name is Ah Ka and last name is Koay. So put in the same stuff in the Western Union withdrawal form should do the trick, right? Nope. In the system, my first name is Koay Ah and last name is Ka. And the sender name ~ Google Inc is at the last name column. Anyway, by filling in the exact way as the system shown, I got my money in the end.

Do you face this issue when you withdraw Google AdSense using Western Union?

Innity March payment

Ouch… Innity hit speed bump. I am getting nothing (almost because only RM0.59 earning for May). Not sure that am I the only one that facing this low earning issue. By the way, I am on technology channel. Anyone out there with technology channel also facing this issue? Or you already quit serving Innity Ads?

Hehe… Another photoshopped payment statement. This Innity payment does not count as 5th because it is a late payment. Late payment cannot be counted in the journey to be SP Blogger’s Certified Make Money Tool. Hopefully, coming March payment won’t be late again. Should be able to get it on 14/05/2010. Let’s wait and see…

Uncle Sha from Singapore is facing the same issue like I did 2 years ago. He made a conclusion that Advertlets is a scam. You will see a lot of interesting stuffs when you search ‘advertlets scam‘, ‘advertlets suck‘, ‘advertlets not paying‘ keywords at Google.

Are you still publishing Advertlets ads? If so, when was the last time you get your payment?

My Maybank account is opened for Innity. Really loves the auto cash in cheque feature offered by Innity. Wish that Nuffnang also do the same. I have HSBC Bank account. Nuffnang can direct cash in the cash there too. If HSBC cannot, I have Public Bank and RHB Bank too.

By the way, Innity changed the cash-out period for earnings to 45 days after the end of each month of accrued payments. So Innity is on-time for this December 2009 payment. I don’t even notice that the payment was already in until I checked Maybank account.

If you are not publishing Innity ads yet, then you are out already. Hurry to sign up as one of the Innity publishers. More detail at Innity publishers page. (P/S – small small fishes are not allowed. )

2nd Innity cheque

But… But… But the second payment was delayed again. Based on the Innity Publisher FAQ, I should get my November payment by end of December 2009. But I only received it now. They should update the FAQ. And I think my December payment will be not reach me by end of this month too.

Okay… I clear the doubt that Innity will not pay like Advertlets. Above payment consist of 3 months revenue. The first month revenue was below RM50 cash out limit. And the 2nd and 3rd month revenue exceeded my expectation.

Note – make sure that your website has 15,000 Pageviews per month on average and a minimum of 3,000 Unique Visitors per month.

So far, Google AdSense, ADSDAQ, Nuffnang and Infolinks’ payments are on time. They don’t ever delay any payment before. Will Innity become like Advertlets? Oh no… I have more than RM1000 in Innity. Help!!!

Innity Performance Network is a bright star (when I get the payment. It delayed September payment. Else I should get it by now. Hopefully, it won’t happen on October payment as well). No payment (or delay payment) makes me thinking of Advertlets. Advertlets is still not paying bloggers nowadays. And getting payment from Advertlets is a tough task. You need to write blog post to ask for your payment like I did. Else you will end up getting nothing.

Remember… More traffic will bring more revenue.

I tried Innity Performance Network last month. Was not happy with the 2 weeks earning and support response. So I took the code down. After that, I received some ad campaign emails from Innity Media. Therefore, I put back the code back on 31 August. By the time I wrote, I discovered that the Innity backup ad function is not working. Hmm… Are you using Innity Performance Network? Do you face the same issue as I do?

How to optimize the Infolinks earning? Here is what I set in Infolinks Integration Guide.

• Set the Highlight Color same as the hyperlink of your website
• Double/Single Underline – Set as double underline
• I only allow 3-5 Max Allowed Number of Highlighted Links per Page
• Content Category – select the best category that match your website
• Use the On/Off HTML comment tags to show ads at your post content only

Here is the last 7 days earning with this setting…

Only the strong will survive. Every advertising company earning is increasing. But Nuffnang earning does not match to increasing traffic. I am thinking of dumping Nuffnang from the list. And will use existing Nuffnang ad placements (top header, before comment and sidebar) for direct advertiser. These locations are good and should bring more income to me if I sell them directly. What do you think?

8th ADSDAQ payment

ADSDAQ from contextWeb is still the best performing CPM ads for me. Do you have it on your website? If no, hurry head to ADSDAQ website to sign up. No worry, it works fine with Google AdSense.

Some of the process fees are cheap while some are very expensive. I have 3 bank account from the list above, Public Bank, Maybank and HSBC. Among 3 of them, HSBC processing fee is the cheapest ~ RM11. Why do I need to find the cheapest rate? I have a USD 20.63 cheque to clear. And I don’t want to waste the money for bank fee.

I bank in the US cheque in HSBC. It took exactly 1 month to clear the cheque. And charged RM 11.65 as processing fee. Hmm… I still prefer Western Union or PayPal payment. It is lot faster and easier. No need to show up at bank to get the payment. And no processing fee also…

What is the AskPrice that you set?
There are several sizes ads that you can select from. The AskPrice that I put are $1.50, $3.00 and $5.00. Each of them have different fill rate. Just play around the AskPrice to get the best earning for your site.

What is the fill rate that you got?
Oh, I have around 5% fill rate only. Putting high AskPrice will lower the fill rate.

Any other questions you want to ask about ADSDAQ?

More and more bloggers nowadays. Some of my friends also involve in blogging actively lately. Hopefully, all of us will earn more online income. I like to earn online income as passive income because I still can earn money even without doing anything. Some bloggers manage to maintain its earning even without writing anything for months. That’s cool…

The largest Google AdSense payment so far

The traffic for my blogs is about the same for the past few months. No special marketing plan done by me. Need to find more ways to generate more income.

How about you? Getting payment from Google AdSense lately?

March 2008 to February 2009 == 12 hits combo

Google AdSense has 8 hits combo right now. 5 hits more to break Nuffnang record. That’s another 5 months to go.
How many combo hit do you have with Nuffnang?
