Hi Ken,

Just want to know when will the new points/earning bracket will be effective?

@Yashirokuru - Well, it isn't going to be one day you are at the old earnings and then the next day you are at the new earnings. As members begin to renew their ads at the new prices then earnings will begin to rise.

We are receiving new members buying ads and members have begun to renew their ads at the new prices. There were many advertisers who bought a new ad at the end of October and so that will have some effect on earnings for the month. 

As the month progresses your earnings will begin to rise.

@Sharkbytes - There is an anomally this month as some members purchased ads before their other ads expired, in effect they are running 2 ads instead of one. This bumped up their points and total system points overall. With total system points up your percentage will go down.

As these member's original ads begin to expire you will see your earnings begin to rise. Less overall system points and your own percentage increasing. Look for this to occur mid month or so. The good news is many members are renewing their ads at the new prices and we are getting new advertisers.

I understood there would be some lag in the new earnings taking place, but we are near the end of the month.  I see the earnings up a bit, but not enough to cover the cost of renewing at the new rate.  Under the old rate, I was able to generate enough to pay for an ad with a buck or so leftover. 

Well I earned 1.01 for yesterday, which I haven't done since Ken introduced the new payout rates, so it looks like things are picking up.

In any case, it's still darned good value for money!

Huh, 74 members have to renew their “old priced” 14 $ ads? That's a lot.

But it is good to know this number because now we can see WHY the actual earnings could not move up to the predicted level.

74/177 advertiser = 41,80% ads in the system have a value of 14$ and

58,20% of the ads have now a value between 12 - 24$.

Some complain now that the earnings went just up by 20% and not by 40% (like written in the blog announcement of the ad price hike on 7th October) but it can be at the moment only 20% when you combine both ad prices

41,8% x 14$ = 5,85 $

58,2% x 22$ = 12,80 $ (a lower value as there are 12$/18$ ads, too)

combined ad price of 18,65 $ = 29,3% increase

deducting of referral payments for new advertising members (8 +1 $) and for renewing advertiser (1$)

the actual earnings could only grow by 20%.

The real improved earnings can only be seen -like Ken Brown said- when the 2nd December is over and the ads which have been bought between 29th - 31st October are renewed (or not).

I'm optimistic that many members will again achieve higher earnings as what they have paid for their 24$ ad.

If you scored between 450 - 470 points, you could already earn since 21st November 80+ cents (which is sufficient to pay for a 24$ ad).

Adgitize NEVER DISAPPOINTED in paying advertisers a big cash rebate when they have been active publishers (even with just 60 advertisers in April and a steadily growing publisher group, several advertisers could achieve a fully paid back ad at the end of the month).

I believe many advertiser will be disappointed if they stop advertising in the first week of December and see how much money and traffic they lost due to not renewing their ad.

November was the month with pain for several advertisers who bought a 24$ ad and for members who are watching for the predicted earnings. December will be the month like we saw it in the previous months, advertisers and publishers will be happy again seeing TRAFFIC AND IMPROVED EARNINGS (not the predicted ones but much higher than the average November-Earnings).
