It says in that post that the number of revenue puzzles that get displayed is based on the amount of traffic that you get to your website, along with a number of other calculations

Some of our revenue-bearing creatives may look like standard CAPTCHA puzzles. It is also possible that you have triggered our fraud system, or your site's category does not fall into any of our advertisers' targets, or that you don't fall into any of our advertisers' demographic targets.

So to be more clear, for 100 brand puzzles filled corectly, how much money do we get ? And, is there any chance to lower the payout standard to 50$, because i think a lot of users will agree, that 200$ is way too much, it would take us 2 years to get a decent payout.

Antidepresiv

Yes, a nice breakdown like that would make it easier for us.

Id estimate based on their website 100 puzzles filled out in the captcha = <$1

If Im incorrect, please correct it for us.

Our current policy is a $200 threshold for payouts. We pay out every month on the date of your sign-up. If you did not reach the threshold, the money in your account is rolled over to the next month. We may revisit this policy in the future to make it more accessible for smaller publishers.

You expected to get paid for six type-ins? You had way higher expectations then me. I was expecting it in the 100s. I could understand if you were loosing revenue, or making less money because of trying this, but it's really costing you nothing to try this out. You shouldn't expect to make revenue if you don't have that many signups a day.

It is very difficult to give any sort of estimate on how many correctly solved type-ins are required to make a certain amount of money. The number of revenue-bearing creatives that your account will see and the value of those creatives vary significantly based on your traffic and the preferences of our advertisers. There will be periods in which you make $1 for every 10 solved type-ins and other times in which you don't make $1 with a 100.

Our program is a revenue sharing partnership. If you are not making any money, then we are not making any money. Furthermore, as Digital Jedi has mentioned, the program is completely free. You are never charged for any services, nor do you lose revenue for any reason.

Yet we have no evidence anyone has gotten any revenue at all from this. That could easily be assumed as false advertising if no-one actually gets any money. Not saying that's what you are doing because i doubt you are. But there's been no person here saying they have accrued revenue.

Can you explain in exact terms when this happens? Like actual numbers. Im sure some people here will have those kinds of numbers and can test this out for us.

(The other threshhold of $1 for 100 signups equates to a $200 payout after 20,000 people successfully fill out the captcha)

Let me tell you, something is adding up. If Toyota is advertising to 20,000 people directly like this, they're under paying you. Im in advertising and I make thousands of dollars for that kind of advertising from a client like Toyota
