Website publishers: your earnings will now appear in the Funds section. Click on the Funds tab to view your earnings. Earnings are updated once per day. Any earnings that available for withdrawl (any earnings over $25 after each calendar) will be shown as part of your “account balance” which can be withdrawn at your request.

Advertisers: your remaining account balance will now appear in the Funds section. Click on the Funds tab to view your current account balance. Your account balance and charges for clicked banner ads are updated once per day.

If you have clicked banner ads for a day, you will see a charge listed once per day shown as a payment transaction deducting money from your account balance.

We recently launched the ability for website publishers to view the performance of the ads running on their websites. When viewing the list of your websites you will notice a new link named Stats. Click this link to view advertising performance metrics about each of the Ad Zones on your website.

Even though the advertising statistics feature was just recently released, the statistics data goes back to the date your Ad Zones were created. Statistics for the current day are updated hourly.

Please note that these statistics do not include any free charity ads that have run on your site. Since we are just beginning to sign up paying advertisers, your site will show zero views for each day that statistics are available for. Once paid ads begin running (see below for more information), you will see numbers going up.

This roll out of advertising statistics also paves the way for us to allow advertisers to submit their paid ad campaigns. The ability to report on ad performance was the last major feature to implement before accepting paid banner ads from advertisers.

We are hoping to begin accepting submissions from advertisers the week of March 29, 2010. It has taken us a little longer than desired to get to this point, but we’re very happy to be at this point and excited for the future of our Catholic advertising network.

A big thanks goes out to all of you who have been patient and supportive of this effort so far. We’re almost there!
