It is a new approach to Web site advertising that uses a standard 468 x 60 pixel banner, which is much more visible and appealing to surfers.
We’ll reward you with £5.00 every month, as long as you keep three of our 468×60 ads . Your site may be large or small, with a high or low traffic count, but you’ll continue to receive £5.00 for as long as you retain the ads. What could be simpler?
Join now, and you’ll receive £10.00 , just for signing up!
Looks like an interesting scheme - have you actually made any money from it?

In return for allowing us to place a small client banner advertisement on 3 pages of your Website we will give you £10.00 for signing up and £5.00 for every month our banner remains on your site.
On looking at the site, it doesnt look as dodgy and as complex as most too-good-to-be-true sites - it's not based in nigeria, it looks to be based in the UK with currency in £'s. Does anyone else have any thoughts?
But £60 for doing nadaa? Too good to be true. Anthony Chu, a member here told me this -

They are giving £5 amazon vouchers - or the option of cash, so it could even be £5 off whatever if you spend over £100 etc. These can be found anywhere on the internet... (try google for starters), and secondly, the banners they place on your site will probably make a lot more than £5 a month, if they are using say doubleclick or another contextual ad service.
It's not even pay per click though - so in theory you could have those ads and nobody even see them and still get £5/month.
I dont know though, if they are actually giving away full amazon gift vouchers - and also, if they are paying out via paypal. The site does look pretty legit!
So, "MongolPay", what are your experiences? Comments anyone? What do you think?
I was going to delete this for it being spam, but seeing as your a real person i'll let it go I removed your affilate ID though - this topic can be for discussing this and other schemes like it
UPDATE This looks like a private enterprise created 25 May 2006 - almost 1 year ago to the day.

It's hosted on rackspace - so it's pretty big - and Ads4ringtones.com and Betterthanbanners.com are hosted on the same server. I'm stil lwandering how they can afford to pay out £5 a month for a site that potentially recieves no hits - if it's all so good, why don't google do something similar... and even a £10 incentive to join in the first place! I have seen on other forums that people have recieved paypal payments. (I doubt anyone would choose amazon vouchers )
I just finished signing up as we just spoke. They respond about my application within 2 business days so I'm waiting. Not a problem at all. Plus, it sounds like an awesome idea.
This guys are certainly not as clever as google with algorithms and computers, it's probably just human validated so you could make "article spam" with rich content to make it seem like content, and then put ads on those
I submitted the TOS page, Privacy page, and Press page, and they approved those - but the adverts were for insurace and things and I didnt really want that - so Ive put them on a spare domain I have
