I have a strange feeling that Adbrite is hurting big time and they are about to go under. No ad company pisses me off more than Adbrite. Not only do they pay net 60, but they don’t even have direct deposit or Paypal payments. They mail you a freaking check still.
So today is February 8th and I still haven’t got my adbrite check from NOVEMBER! I check Digitalpoint and everyone else is in the same boat. It appears Adbrite just lumped together November and December earnings into one big payment that will be processed on March 3rd. WTF ADBRITE!!!! Thanks for telling me! I don’t make a ton on Adbrite, but it is a couple hundred a month and I count on that money to pay for some bills and stuff. Now I’m going with out it for a month and I had to withdraw money from my savings account just to cover my ass this month. What a shitty company. How do you not tell your publishers that you won’t be paying them this month?
How about one more Adbrite complaint. They haven’t been displaying ads on peoples websites for weeks! It just shows “powered by adbrite” where the ads normally are. Everyone on DP is complaining about this. Earnings have been shot to hell too because they aren’t showing ads. Ads will come up for a minute, then go right back down.
And not only is Adbrite not paying us November’s earnings and stopped showing ads… I still never got my 1099-Misc from them. I mean holy shit! Adbrite is the most irresponsible company I have ever seen.
All this leads me to believe Adbrite is getting ready to fold. This is the worst ad company. They have shitty management and terrible ads. I’m going to call them on my lunch break, even though I’m sure I won’t get to talk to a human, and then am calling the better business bureau to file a complaint.
If any of you out there share my frustration about Adbrite, let me know!
Btw, I’m looking for a replacement right now.

1I hear you my friend, indeed, same here. My earnings dropped by a lot and me too I have to pay expensive servers with their checks. This is not good, I got the feeling that adbrite is tanking also. It’s pretty sad. It has been 1 month since the CPM’s are dropping, before i used to make 6 times more with less traffic. This is bad, very bad. I think it’s over for adbrite because of retarded etology stole their cpm advertisers, guaranteeing them half the costs to advertise. I fucking hate etology, i remember i had a site that had 400 000 impressions and gave me 34 cents with them. That’s just Wow. Etology is the problem here.

2I’ve been using Adbrite for like 2 years almost and it’s always been like clockwork. I’ve never had a problem with them processing payments, serving ads or sending checks.
With all this coming down at one time it sure does seem like they’re about to die. I just hope to god they pay me everything they owe before they quit.

4I started using AdBrite as an advertiser last week. They really don’t help you along and I got really shitty advertising for a lot of money per CPM. Granted, it was only 5$, but it was still horrible traffic. I was thinking of using AdBrite as a publisher too, but after reading your post, I think I’ll stray away.
I’m using AdToll as an advertiser too, and that’s been pretty good.

5I just got a new blog finished and AdBrite’s ads are not showing! I thought it needs up to 24 hours to show but it’s been two days. I really like the idea that they show ads on photos and videos, so does anyone know that there are alternatives for this? The ads on my photos showed about three seconds when I first put them on, and they’re gone forever since then. It really pisses me off!!

9There are a lot of people complaining about Adbrite since late last year. I would recommend removing their ads and try a good CPA offer.

13adbrite sucks for advertising as well, its as good as throwing your money away.. out of 45 000 impressions 95% were from low quality ‘junk’ traffic sources even though I setup a “targetted campaign”..
avoid abrite at all costs, they are a lousy company to do business with

14yeah adbrite pisses me off… when I first started my site, the ads were worth a lot.. then I got a lot of page views a day (about 37,000-45,000 daily) and the rates dropped off.. I don’t get it ! If your site is getting a lot of page views /hits daily shouldn’t ads be worth more!?!?
I contacted them about this and told them the other ad companies I am making more, they said that it doesn’t matter. I can’t change the rate and they decide what my site is worth.
soo stupid. I am with them for now but prob. not much longer…

18Yeah I got the same problem but with Black Label Ads, it’s Adbrite’s adult ad serving site. I haven’t been paid for my August 2009-October 2009 ads. I’ve sent them numerous emails and filled out their contact form but no reply. What a disgrace.
