Gee, I LOVE to offer more ads. Do you have any advertisers in mind?? I even offered a contest for it and never had ONE come through.

I know its frustrating for you to have so few ads, but its equally frustrating for me to have none to offer, and I wish members could understand that. People seem to think I can magically make them appear. Sure, I could put my own sites there, but I'm paying out to members every single day for ads that I make NOTHING from. How long do you think the site will survive on that business model???

Please dont blame me for lack of ads. I'm doing the best I can trying to attract advertisers to a site overrun with Asian traffic that nobody wants, cheaters trying to scam me on payments and I'm spending out more money than I'm bringing in. It's a thankless job, believe me.

ive never owned a ptc so i dont know where they get thier ads.most [i think[ get thier members to advertise. i would use my money on site for it but there is no link for that. that way you wouldnt have to 'pay out' so much, just trade funds for advertising sometimes.

There is a link for that already. The box says you can convert to ads or cash, but the ad rate is set a bit higher at $8. When you have $8 in your account members can buy advertising. It will ask what plan you want and your url and description to be placed.

Let me know if you have any problems, but I've tried the link and it works for me. Thanks!

It takes longer now to reach cashout because of the lack of ads, of course, and the ad rate is set higher because it is meant to equal the equivalent ad revenue. $8 worth of ads would barely pay one member, in terms of value, and I've just paid out almost $40 just in the past hour! :(
