Hey AdBrite, how are your profitability margins doing? In Mid-March 2007, Adbrite sent me a check for a whopping 8 cents. While most third party advertisers have minimum payout amounts to maximize their revenue, AdBrite would rather lose money than make it. Adbrite makes 25% of your ad revenue, which means Adbrite made only 2 cents from my short tenure as a publisher ( .75/1 = 8/X, X= 10.66, 10.66 – 8 = AdBrite’s Cut: 2.66 cents). Add on the expense of 39 cents for postage, and Adbrite spent 37 cents to pay me 8 cents!
The funny thing is I stopped using their ad system months ago. I even took a picture of the check as proof. Click the thumbnail below to view the full image.

I’m sure the stock paper for the check and envelope costs more than 2 cents. Should I take it to the bank or will the bank teller laugh at me?
