Im very confused by your site, there is no mention about how you pay out, and/or what shares of the click throw? view? time amount and/or Placement?

If you are looking for people that want to make money for themselves, that is usually what people look for, i saw nothing to entice me to sign up.

So i can not say if they are looking for a loyal base to sync with.

Support on their services or questions regarding their signup process should be asked at their own website. vBulletin.org is not the place to get support for third-party services.

Agreed, the site is a bit dated and was purposely put together to be vague. We follow a slightly different approach, in that we don't want mass appeal. Instead, our account management team actively pursues sites that we feel would do well on our program. We have conference calls and web meetings to fully explain the details.

Through the site, we've had over 300 sign ups and accepted about 15 of them. As you can see, not a very good ratio. The majority of the sign ups are sites that are just starting out and looking for ways to monetize their forum.

Our general guidelines for getting accepted are: a minimum average of 200 currently active members, a minimum of 200 outbound links to eBay or Amazon.

We usually make exceptions for automotive focused sites because of our strategic partnership with eBay Motors and EPN.

The reason we're selective is because of the number of hits our script gets, around 15 million hits a day. So you can imagine the server resources and bandwidth that consumes. Also, sites that fall bellow our guidelines usually don't earn more than a couple dollars a day.

If you have any other questions, feel free to email us at info@DrivingRevenue.com

Marco, the original post had to do with legitimacy. No mention of support or signup process. As far as I'm aware, this thread is posted in the appropriate section, The Lounge. I see plenty of topics discussing Motorola Droid, Windows 7 and other commercial endeavors. I know you guys moderate with an iron fist, but why should this be thread be treated any differently?

BTW, I've spoken with Ray Morgan a few times and he seems to be impressed with our forum monetization strategies.

I installed the DrivingRevenue script on 6/17/10 and noticed that my Vibrant Media in-text ads (which still display) didn't generate any revenue on 6/18 or 6/19 (today). I'm wondering whether the DR script is interfering with the Vibrant links. If so, I need to solve that soon because I'm losing more revenue than I'm gaining.

Anyone else experience this and know how to get these two to play nice?

Have you checked with Vibrant to see if their reporting is updating?

Our script runs on thousands of sites that have Vibrant or Kontera, and there is no conflict or interaction between the scripts.

[asabet]

False alarm! Vibrant had just been slow in updating. Everything is working properly.

For what it's worth, I emailed both Vibrant and DrivingRevenue early this (Saturday) morning about the perceived problem. I got a very fast response from DrivingRevenue, which was great! The main thing I wanted to hear was that the two scripts have been used on other sites without problems, so when I heard that, I figured it was just delayed reporting from Vibrant.

Also, the revenue yesterday from DR was good! Better than average for what I make from Adsense or Vibrant in a day.

So far, so good with DrivingRevenue on our site.

Glad to hear everything worked out.

it's pretty straight forward, we simply convert existing retailer links into affiliate links.

If the user clicking the link makes a purchase with the retailer within a specified time, you receive a percentage of the sale as commission for sending the traffic.

You simply install a few lines of JavaScript into the footer template. That's all there is to do.

Why would I not just re-write my amazon and ebay links to add my own affiliate code using a mod like AME, which is what I currently do... are you able to offer better percentages then I could get on my own?
