We've been using ZTMC for a fair few months now. At first we were sceptical when we received an email asking if we would consider placing 5 text links in the footer, sitewide. They asked us how much we would charge per month, so we gave them a figure - to which they agreed upon, and they paid us 1 month in advance. Payments are always made on time, and before the following month is due.

We've just agreed upon an higher payment for the ads after running them for nearly 6 mths - so we are now receiving double the amount we first quoted. Our PR went up to a 4 within a few weeks. But this could of been due to numerous backlinks we have, and other promotion advertising we were doing at the time.

A friend of mine receives $140 a month from them, but thats with a PR6 website. Basically, the higher your PR is the more they will pay you, this doesn't just apply to forums, because they initially asked if we had any other networked websites which could be used, which they would also pay us for.

Is it the PR rating or the number of hits? My PR want into the tank but I've been with them for about 12 months and never had a problem. Maybe I need to ask for more $$ from them.

ZTMC use random links - but they are rarely clicked when in the footer. At the moment we are concentrating on more backlinks, but we are doing this via new modification releases and using huge script updates.

Those are digitalpoint Coop ads on your site. They are using your weight to promote other sites.

You could have put your site in the coop and used your weight to build links to your own site. But you would not get paid any money. You are getting paid for renting site wide space for them to use the coop on your site and control it.

In general, the ads displayed by the coop are moderated pretty good. They are random if you choose. In this case, it says they rotate, so they are random. But the coop can show static ads if you set it that way in the coop control panel.

I am finding that D-L-A pays out really well.
