RD Signup ?

Anybody can help me getting into RD ? I have tried twice and the last one I registered using my developed websites (PR3) and still failed.

I have 150+ domains in my portfolio.

Ciao,

Does RD have a referral system?

Is it 'revenuedirect.com/signup.php?referral=accountname'? - it used to be, but not sure if they do this anymore..

 

[mrizos]

does anyone know what types of domains perform best at RD?

 

[Standout!]

I have an 'auto' related name that does pretty well... often $0.50 clicks sometimes more...

 

[dedekind]

does anyone know what types of domains perform best at RD?

In my experience, RD is good in international high-traffic low-RPC domains. When others pay $0.02/click, RD might pay $0.04 - still low, but twice as much compared to others. An example is my high-traffic domain with 90% visitors comming from Peru (related to a local music portal). I have tested for other NP members several high-traffic typos, and results are consistently good, dubling the revenue or better!

 

[oldpig]

I have tested RD for days, RD is really worth to have a trial for most kinds of domains.
If the 90% or 100% promotion can be extended a little longer, it will be very fantastic.
Just try then you will get the result.

from which countries RD accept traffic?

 

[heburame]

No answers from them! Email sent 1 week ago..

@heburame

I think they only answer via the support form in your account. I've e-mailed them directly (info [at] revenuedirect.com) but wasn't getting a reply.

Failing that, PM RDJohn on this thread.

I've found Loren at RD to be very helpfull, but the last support question I sent regading this 30% tax withholding problem for customers outside the US hasn't been answered since last week - I need to be paid on the 5th regardless of this. (I think they're getting fed up of me pestering them!)

@urir123
They accept any country seeing as they use the Google feed, which has much more of a global reach of advertisers than say Yahoo. I've even found traffic from places such as Slovakia monitizes better with RD over Sedo. I think the Sedo stats estimate system works on the basis "right, that traffic is from Slovakia. We'll give him $0.02 per click regardless of keyword or domain". But with RD you get the real CPC data back from Google the next day, when the stats update.

 

[heburame]

tired!

4 mails, 1 call (1 msg left), and still no answers! What's going on?! I just need to fix something in our RD account. I'm really tired of this situation. No news from them for more than 2 weeks.

 

[SebastianJu]

Maybe way too much persons came in in the last time. But I have the same experience. The support is sometimes really slow. PM to John too slow.

Dont know why because sometime Lauren is answering relatively fast.

Greetings!
Sebastian

 

[Varon]

I am getting a decent RPC but I just hope I get paid this 5th. My last billing cycle's revenue is still on hold. In short, I have yet to get my first payment from RD. John, can you look into this? I had sent you a pm earlier.

 

[v5x]

Perhaps they only work park time!

I hoping I'm paid on the fith too as my revenue is on hold and will be the first payout from them. No reply from John or RD support - they've gone quiet.. perhaps they can't afford to pay us? (just kidding ).

 

[SebastianJu]

Maybe they are working that hard to complete the many new Tax-Forms?

Loren wrote me on March, 25: "The tax form issue should be resolved very soon, within the next day or so. I apologize for the delay."

Nothing happened till now... But my Form is by them. I asked and they got it...

By the way... I would like to see two changes in RD.

1. Reportdata is showing the CPC with 3 aftercomma signs. In the Domainstat there are only 2. Place is there enough and it would be fine to see the rate more exact.

2. The allowance of subdomains. At ActiveAudience its no problem to use Subdomains, RD doesnt do such thing. It would be good to have such option...

Greetings!
Sebastian

 

[packrat]

Regarding payment - has anyone at all outside the US received any payments
from RD?? Or are they just picking on us poor Canadians?

 

[SebastianJu]

Im from Outside US. I didnt get paid because my Tax-Form hasnt finished. But im into RD only since a month.

Im from Outside US. I didnt get paid because my Tax-Form hasnt finished. But im into RD only since a month.

There are many of us who submitted their tax forms a long time ago and we
haven't yet been paid. We were told by RD that the W8 form that we submitted may not be enough information. However, I was told that the
issue would be resolved by the end of last week but it obviously wasn't as I haven't heard anything one way or the other yet.

 

[SebastianJu]

Oops. So Im hoping RevenueDirect has nothing to do with Direct Revenue which I first found googling revenue direct (not as one word).

But as far as I have read they are in the business a longer time so if they would cheat someone had spoke about.

Maybe Loren is the only one that are working there and because of the mass of new Domainers switching there she is buried under tax-forms?

Really dont know...

Hope this will be solved soon. Cant find why Loren is saying next day it will be solved and after weeks nothing had changed.

Greetings!
Sebastian

 

[heburame]

I've seen RDJohn and this thread...

Still no news from them! I tried by email, by phone, and still nothing. We're outside the U.S, and need to fix the taxform issue.
