AdClerks?

[Cam]

Does anyone use AdClerks to monetize their sites? This is an ad marketplace that was clearly inspired by BuySellAds. It was previously known as PublicityClerks, and it was actually owned by a former owner of FP at one point in time (@Nerdie).

I've been using AdClerks for my websites that BSA won't approve. I've sold plenty of ads with them, but that's because I'm selling spots in rotations at ridiculously cheap prices, like $5-10 per month.

The major issue I've found with AdClerks is that they take a very long time to approve payout requests. It has sometimes taken a couple of months, to the point of where I was about to take their ads down... But I always eventually get the pay out approved. I feel like it's managed by one person who doesn't really even pay attention to the site anymore.

Thoughts?

I know this is late, but I've used them as well. I got a lot of successful transactions. I'm unable to even log in anymore because they forced a password reset and I cannot get the confirmation email... So that's fun. I was selling mine for around $50 I believe a month and was still getting some good sales. I had over 500k monthly authentic views which made it easier I believe.

As for the months of waiting, yeah that seems sketchy and it probably is just one owner and he simply forgets to check and then after a long time he remembers and quickly goes back to the site and cashes everyone out. I'd look else where, I'm sure there's alternatives to use somewhere 🙂

They sent an email about the password reset. They had a security breach a while back. I had the same issue with not receiving the password reset email. I ended up having to send them an email about it.

It doesn't seem as reputable as BSA, but it looks alright. @Xyphien think you're spot on about the one-owner setup

They were using one of those BSA knock off scripts at one point in time. It was literally a replica with a different logo back then. 😛

Oh gosh - I love those $30 replica scripts off code-canyon 😛

Sometimes webmasters can levy the scripts to produce a better/more friendly service, but often they end up being quite dodgy knock offs

AdClerks have high traffic requirement, none of my sites can pass that requirement.

Are you sure? BSA is known for being pretty exclusive, but I've been able to submit any site of mine on AdClerks, including sites with little to no traffic.

If you check their FAQ section under publisher, you will see their traffic requirement. They have started that "Your website should be receiving > 100k impressions or page views a month."

I did also apply on BSA but they rejected my site as well.
