Check your email... people are getting letters saying payments are on hold for 5-7 business days.

Yes, a hour ago I got such email too...

"Due to an unforeseen matter with regard to our upstream advertising provider, your May 20th, 2008 earnings payment has been placed on hold. Unfortunately RevenueDirect is unable to send your earnings payment until our upstream advertising provider has verified these earnings. We anticipate this verification process should be completed within the next 5-7 business days. We apologize for this temporary payment delay. If you have any questions regarding your payment hold please let us know and we will do our best to answer them.

Do you know who there upstream provider is? And how do we know if they are telling the truth and not just keeping the money and using that as an excuse.

They use the Googlefeed.

Google does it another way than Yahoo. If Google think they will not pay because the traffic isnt converting or click fraud they give money back to the advertisers. That way the parkingprovider cant get the money. So the publisher cant too...

I just got paid via Paypal... Thanks RD!

Revenue Direct has still not paid us for our May 5th payment. I received an email on April; 25th and on May 8th. I am posting The last email I received on May 8th and also want to post that anyone living in the U.S that has had payment withheld that would like to join us in collecting payment from RevenueDirect is welcome to PM me.

Below is the Email we received on May 8th 2008 and after several attempts to contact have heard nothing more from RD.

FROM: [email protected]

Hi David,

Thank you for contacting RevenueDirect. I apologize for the delay in responding to your question. The PPC earnings your domains generated for the period between 4/16 and 4/30 are currently on hold by our upstream advertising provider. They are currently reviewing the traffic to your domains for this period. Once we receive a response from our upstream advertising provider regarding this traffic and associated earnings we'll be able to notify you regarding the outcome of their review. We should hear back from them within the next couple business days.

Best regards,

Loren

Yes, support is not so good at revenue direct, a mistake in my opinion.
Not to fast answer is ok, no answer is not.

I am looking to my paypal account but there is no payment. I have reach $$$ more than before. I try to contact support so many times but still get no respond.

It's almost 2 weeks late for my payment 15-30 April 2008. I don't know what's wrong with my account since they never answer all of my message.

Seem's like they don't care all my problem.

Looks like a big storm is beginning to form.

Does anybody get their money paid out from "verification process" till now? Or a decision to not get paid?

no, i still on "hold" status payment, I also check my paypal still don't receive the money yet

I think the advertisers cried because their ads appear on parking sites... So google was forced to check all publishers more accurate... Hope Google will be fair. I mean if the traffic converts google really should proof the traffic as good and tell the advertisers that its good traffic...

I hope that they speak of proofing is a good sign...

yes I hope so

If advertisers start complaing about their ads being on parked pages Google will just
roll over for them and parking will take another kick in the butt!

I seriously doubt advertisers complaining is the reason for this delay. Main reason being, Google Adwords gives advertisers the option of not showing ads on parked pages right in their account admin.

If advertisers were complaining G would just show them how to disable ads on parked pages.

During RD's 100% rev share promo, I had a couple domains blacklisted within 5 days after making about $300/day each. Google knows darn good and well what's going on with their feeds.

Do other Google feed parking companies have similar payment hold problems?

What exactly do you mean by "blacklisted"? I've never had that problem with any of my domains.

Do you know the reason they were blacklisted? (bad traffic source, etc...)

Traffic quality, will not be served ads for Google parking feeds. AdSense no probs. I've also purchased names before without doing proper due diligence and found they were blacklisted. I emailed G with proof of new registration and the blacklist was lifted.

Argh. ya know I checked out RD a while back. First off the site was working weird. Or rather, nothing on the site was working. First thing that came to mind is "hm.. does that mean this is a scam?". The FAQ section never worked. The contact form worked but always timed out and now im just not getting an answer at all (even the form IS working). id like to try it if anyone ever answers me!

sounds more like browser issues. I've never experienced any of those probs in the time I've been with RD.
But yeah, they can be slow to respond, although in my case I've had a response from my account reps most times within 24hrs. Others have not had such joy...or so they tell me.

Hm i dunno. Ive never had browser issues before lol. I mean i have but not like this. Oh well. Ill wait a bit longer and see if they reply this time.

Can it be that you disabled Javascript? RD is using Javascript very often...

I dont have any problem with the site functionality...

10th May: the payment info started to display in Revenue History page (Status = PENDING).
20th May: received the check by postal mail (Status = PENDING).
21th May: deposited the check to the bank (Status = PENDING).
23th May: Status = PAID.

What does actually PENDING and PAID means?

The problem with the site wasnt recently... it was awhile ago.

At least you're getting paid. A lot of us haven't been paid for last pay
period for reasons that RD seems very reluctant to disclose!!
