this is really good mod

Installed for three days and I'm already starting to earn a little revenue. Compared to ZERO revenue before, I'd say that things are looking positive already :up:

The mod has been updated to version 1.0.3. This version adds a language option and support for HTTPS sites.

When you sign up for our service, you will be given access to our Portal. In the Portal, you can see your account Dashboard, which, among other information, includes revenue generated.

I own a large network of MMORPG forums. I stumbled across this mod and have installed it on 3 boards on a trial period. Assuming we don't run into any problems with users unable to register using the CAPCTHA's, you've bagged yourself a nice publisher. I'll keep the thread updated with my progress, you may want to talk more about average revenue/per successful CAPCTCHA completion ect so publishers can gauge wether this will even be worth their while.

Seems a very promising startup - assuming you're a startup - and I look forward to earning some revenue with you guys.

Question: How often is the Dashboard updated with revenue details? I'm assuming every 24 hours/beginning of the day?

Extremely easy to install; installed across 3 sites in less than 10 minutes.

+Installed.

Give me some idea of the figures involved.

Ran the CAPTCHA's for a day and I'm reporting back as promised.



As you can see, there is some money to be made. I have large boards, likely to be larger than the average VB.org user, and I can't help but feel if you installed this mod on a smaller board expecting to make some money you'd be extremely disappointed. I for one, am going to leave this modification installed and try and grab and snapshot of the bigger picture - eCPM may improve over time.

At this rate, it'll take a couple of months to receive a payout.
