Looks like payment is on the way! I am surprised to see the Top Tier actually went down to 7.53. Thought the Glam ads were going to give things a boost here.
Edit: 2nd Tier 1.28
3rd Tier .07

Double whammy. I was without a computer for 2 and 1/2 weeks during this period. Oh, well I suppose a pay day is never bad news!

Janet,
Where'd you find the info about the tiers, I don't see anything on my dashboard!
I did notice my $ total had changed, but that's all.

and 1.25 2nd tier
and 0.07 3rd tier

hmm...I am definitely showing 7.53 as the top tier and 1.28 as 2nd tier. How about you, Christene. What are you showing?
I am wondering if the Glam ads didn't pay as well as the adsense ads or is Squidoo traffic down?

Good Christene,
Then maybe mines wrong..............I'll update it again, 'cause the lower tier amounts makes my total -16.08 what I got last month!

Re: Dashboard updated
I was surprised to see that the payments went down too. Maybe it's a seasonal thing?

Re: Dashboard updated
Is the top tier a little larger (as in rank more than 0-2000ish)?
I got top tier on one that I was not expecting it on - seemed to always hover at 2400

Re: Dashboard updated
I just sent in a bug report for my dashboard
I went back to check other month's stats, and it seems that my dashboard is off for Jan, Feb, March, and now April in reporting the tier amounts.
Geez, that's far enough back for me, I didn't check the stats before Jan.

Sure would be nice if it turned in my favor...........and calculated them all wrong!

Are you saying that you just noticed that the tier amounts for the past few months are all incorrect on your lens stats report??
Yikes! What a mess!

YEA...........Janet
I don't think they used to be that way, because on my Flowergardener bio, where I've listed my earnings, I believe my stats are in agreement with what everyone else stated the tiers were.
It's confusing me, that's for sure.
Deb
edited..........my blue box is on now, and it's total is not the same as what's on the stat page.

Re: Dashboard updated
Can someone please point in the right direction here? I didn't think I would be participating in this thread because my dashboard stats show that I only had about $2 commission for Amazon and ebay but I just got a big blue box on my Dashboard with a nice number on it. Do we get paid for something other than commission on Amazon and ebay sales? If so then I've just been given new inspiration for keeping up the hard work!! I had no idea I would actually be getting a payment. I just assumed my $2 would roll-over til next month. Where are the extra earnings coming from? Also, what are the tiers about?
Sorry, I guess I have just been blindly making lenses without knowing the details about how this all works. Thanks for any help you offer.

Re: Dashboard updated
Glam ad revenue is not included in this payout, due to their reporting schedule. It will be in next month's for sure.
Earnings are all over the place this month -- some people up, some people down. All depends on your individual lenses!
I can say there's some good news: traffic across the whole site has been up for the last 2 weeks, in part because search engine traffic is rising nicely.
We'll post some fun charity stats soon.

Re: Dashboard updated
Your payments are coming from the Adsense pooled money. How it's doled out is according to your lens' rankings!

Re: Dashboard updated
I get the same amounts as Flowergardner - $7.38 and $1.25.
I wonder if some people get a preferential rate then?
Disapointed that the rate is lower, but it was a switchover period, and also there were some system problems I think at one point, which may have reduced traffic.
So let's hope things went better in May! I had between 6 and 11 lenses int eh top 2,000 a lot of the time in May, only 3 in March and April.
Every bit counts - mine is staying in Paypal for a rainy day. I'm sure it's going to come soon, as I'm not earning much elsewhere... not yet at least...
