I got this from Kontera. What do you think?
"As one of our valued Kontera publishers, we’re excited to inform you that as of May 3rd Kontera is lowering the minimum payout threshold from $100 to $50!"
Do you feel this will make people earn money from Kontera.
It's not going to change how people earn from Kontera. That process is unaffected by payments.
But for those who do earn, it offers an option to see smaller but more frequent payouts. It works for me.
It will act as a motivating factor for those that earn up to their minimum monthly limit to stick to them. That wont change the fact that earnings below certain amount in a month will not be yours.
I still don't understand the reason behind this.
Hi Chinwieke,
Jonathan from Kontera, here. Any money below the minimum payout threshold just rolls over into the next month until you do meet the minimum payment threshold. You worked hard for your money - we want you to keep all of it!
As for why we lowered the minimum payout threshold at Kontera, it's because we value all our publishers and we wanted to give some of our smaller publishers a chance to see the fruits of the labor a little bit earlier.

hmm - I've NEVER had a payout from Konterra and I've had it running on my sites for 2 years !!!!
From looking at your Hubs, I think you probably don't get enough traffic to make Kontera profitable. In my experience, you need a LOT of it, at least 100,000 views per month.
And for that you probably need some sensational Hubs, or A LOT of them.
I'm working on it
That is one bad thing about them. They should learn from others like google!

I was up to 95.16 on my adsense and then all of a sudden it stopped, but I don't remember making any changes - Since it is so close to the threshold, can someone please check my account to see why it is not registering hits any more? How can I fix this? I really appreciate your help.

Has the ad program minimum payment been raised from 50 dollars?Since joining three years ago I would get an ad program payout at 50 dollars. My earnings are over 90 dollars and I have not received the payout. Has the minimum threshold been raised?

Sorry if this is dumb, but all this time I thought I had to reach $10 in Adsense to start receiving payments. But is it $100? I find the site frustrating to navigate, and I hoped someone here could explain it better. If it is $100, then once I go over that threshold, will I start getting regular...

by Lily Rose 15 years ago
It took three months, I guess that's not bad! Now if I could just meet that threshold every month I'd be thrilled.Today's my wedding anniversary, so this is a nice "gift"!
