Matt would know for absolute definate as would
TD so suggest you ask them.
Jamster and
TD had a meeting last week about their accounts but so far I've heard nothing. I might be wrong in the way I described my idea of how it works because it is a jumble. But because of the 14 day lag on confirming pendings which are already confirmed, you can get paid in a later month unless Jamster move the fallen pendings into invoice before the pay date, meaning you'll still make the two month lag.
If you look at account balance breakdown and open up all the columns, there should be four, then this is the pay date, providing Jamster don't go prepayment this month - hope they do. The following is judged as this month being May and only on the Jamster program. Although the cycle begins at four, it's more straightforward to start from number one and the bottom.
4. Transactions in pending status - Where it all begins. These appear to be on a 14 day lag, these drop as each day goes by, which is why unless Jamster move up a payment, you will get half a month, three months later. Once pending amounts end up in the 'Transactions not yet invoiced to merchants' columns.
3. In payment period, but unpaid by merchant - Already invoiced, awaiting payment, date next to it normally means invoice settlement date or that's how it works out. Jamster invoice due around 18th April for half of March revenue paid in May, Jamster invoice 20th May for half of March and half of April revenue, paid June. At the end of the month May's will go up, invoice date of June, paid July, see below for evolution of Jamster creature.
2. Transactions not yet invoiced to merchants - moved up to invoiced (unpaid) on the last day of May, given an invoice date a few days after June payment, should be paid in July. This is where it all ended up wrong.
1. Transactions to be paid in next payment - paid in May for definate.
However, if you want to be paid quicker - note I'm still waiting for February's payment, due Tuesday hopefully. Go with Zanox, 15th April to 14th May should be cleared and ready for 1st June payment, paid around 13th June. This is where I went wrong. Although saying that, the above is true for most non UK Jamster/Jamba programs, this is my first month with Jamster UK on Zanox.
As for affilinet and CJ, I'm not even going to embark on that voyage. Jamster's main priority, after raising it back in December with them, would be to integrate all Jamster country programs with the networks so there's no leakage. This is what they aim to do with Jamster white label by the end of the year.
Preferably go prepayment, so May gets paid in June automatically. Unless I misunderstand what prepayment is. And sort out CSV and XML feeds for when I start up my ringtone site.
They've done marvellous though, getting the content units up, absolutely superb graphics and unique flash ads and good support.
I like Jamster it's such a lucrative program but there's just been a few bumps of late. Soz for the outburst the other day Matt, no snout. You're definately one of the best AMs out there that I've worked with this year, and like JJ and Chris last year, could be in the running for some
AM of the year/month award.
I went wrong in December, left Crazy Frog and his mates to his own devices and income went down, no matter what I did, I couldn't match what the likes of others were taking, the 20,000 a month brigade. Hopefully I can turn that around.
