Finally, I received my first payment from Vibrant after waiting for 60 days. The payment was transferred directly using Swift Code Wire from United States to Public Bank Malaysia. No more manual work to withdraw money out by Western Union or cheque. Something to take note for first time Vibrant publisher like me. The payment is due 60 days after earning month.
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…
Vibrant In-Text Ads ~ The Best In-Text Advertising that I have even joined. The popular technology websites that I visit such as DailyTech and GSMArena are publishing Vibrant In-Text Ads too. So you don’t need to have any doubt about the revenue that it will bring. Based on my observation, it did not show any ads on Malaysia IP and working on US traffic only. And it serves ads from premium brand advertisers like Microsoft, Intel, Newegg… End result == high revenue.

Vibrant In-Text Revenue for June 2010

Wow… US$ 0.56 per click
By the way, your site must generate a minimum of 500,000 page impressions of traffic per month in order to join Vibrant In-Text Ads. However, I was given a chance by Mike Dean, the Director, Business Development at Vibrant Media to have a trial. Payments are sent out 45 business days after the end of the month. There are 3 payment options ~ ACH/direct deposit (US only), wire transfer and cheque. I selected wire transfer to my local bank ~ Public Bank in Malaysia. Let’s wait and see how long does it take and any processing fee incur.
Let me know if your site have more than 500k page impressions per month, I am happy to be your referrer to join Vibrant Media Network. You will be a happy publisher like me.
Thanks Infolinks for giving me the largest earning since I joined. The May Infolinks earning almost double than April earning.

Infolinks May 2010 Payment
This is the 6th Infolinks payment. The next one is going to take a very long time. Why? JayceOoi.com is not publishing Infolinks in-text ad for the moment. Left spBlogger.com only. Based on spBlogger.com traffic, I think that I need to take 1 year++ in order to get my next payment…
I love receive payment. Everyone does, right? Here is my 5th PayPal payment from Infolinks. And can’t wait for the next one which almost double this.

Infolinks April 2010 Payment
Business Development Manager at Kontera, Aaron Seligman contacted me. And offered the ability to create some higher tier revenue deals and believe Kontera can surpass my current Infolinks earnings. Wow… This is good. A better revenue is always good right? I logged into Kontera. Nothing had changed. I still cannot see my historical earning which more than 6 months. But they added additional revenue column which uses to display promotional bonuses, affiliate revenue, and adjustments outside of normal earnings. Anyway…

Infolinks May 11 to 17, 2010 earnings
I love competition. We publishers will get better revenue from it. Can Kontera offer ~ 30 day trial at 70% revenue share beats Infolinks earning? I did not try it yet. Does anyone try it?
