43 solved type ins.
21 cents made.
105 impressions.

So it seems quite a few people (or bots) failed the new captcha

Example.... Offopic.com

Some place were they are likely to get 250 new members in about 1 hour and has status like this:
Threads: 4,692,203, Posts: 137,663,733, Members: 225,899

That still around? Thought fazle ran it into the ground. Interesting.

Failures do not account for the entire difference between impressions and solves. In fact, your account only saw 1 failure. The rest of the impressions were either cancelled or expired puzzles. Puzzles that are refreshed are marked as "cancelled", and puzzles that are not answered in a given timeframe are marked as "expired".

We are constantly looking to improve our system. Currently, we are not experiencing any problems. Can you please elaborate on the issue in a trouble ticket?

So I need to signup with another account to create tickets? I'll pass and post here about the slow issue. Slow means ... slow. Initial load or clicking the refresh icon takes about 3 seconds.

$200 is a very large payout. With 96 type-ins, the value is at $.70 cents - wooohoo? That is muliple days. I make more off 10 infolinks hits in a day. And, that is mouse over not a typein.

There is something amis with this. Unsure if your company is being honest. Your ads require participation, this is very high value ads and should be much more than your current payout rate. I'll eat my shoe if you are paying out the ratio you claim.

I'm not a fan of that community. I think it's a breading ground for trolls and illegal activity. But it is oddly enough one of the top 10 on Big Boards and thus, something to compare & be competitive with.

You just need to be signed into your existing account to create a ticket.

What's with everyone's suspicions on this thing? Nobody has to give up anything other than trying a new CAPTCHA out. It don't work, you go back to the old one. It really isn't much more complicated than that.

No kidding, I'm just happy to have a working non cracked CAPTCHA..

My suspicion started while I was testing it. It showed 6 typed-ins when I had done nothing of the sort. But, positive on my behalf I guess. I did try it once for verification of it working and using the same IP I signed up with.

This is an advertising. Which means that we might not be able to double up ads while this is active on that same page. If other ad systems are paying much higher for the user doing much less, it means something isn't quite right. If a user participates in an advertisement it becomes a premium ad. The participation required here is about as high as one can get yet they are paying peanuts.

About the CAPTCHA thing, there only seems to be like 5 real ads in rotation which any bot can view the pic and type-in. Each ad has the same picture. I've only seen two CAPTCHA words and they are identical. Unsure security is the biggest feature here.

Edit: Whoever posted on my "contact us" - thank you!!

You've lost me. Suspicious about what, now? I get that you don't think it's paying out enough. I get that you think you might not be able to use other ads on the same page (though I don't know why, other than in those ads TOS). What I don't get is why that's something to be worried about. Concern, suspicion all imply danger. What are you in danger of? What are you missing out on? What scam do you think they're trying to purport?

I noticed that, too. But then, I did pick revenue over security in my setup options. Which did you pick?
