I have had my iworkwithpeople toolbar out there for a few years. For about 4 years now. There never really was all that much movement in my account for usage, for the first two years nothing really happened. Over the past year and a half I have been seeing lots of activity. I started seeing an actual bit of revenue. So I have been pushing people to notice the toolbar and requesting people install it so I can generate more income. In dong that I added so many useful tools for the toolbar’s theme. There is a cashout balance that must be achieved. You must achieve $50 before you can cash out. I have been sitting at 49.41 for twenty six days now. Not one penny in revenue from searches. Nothing. Not a drop.
I’m starting to suspect foul play. Considering it is such an old toolbar that is tested and true and useful for work associated uses, (games and job search) and many many other add ons and now right when it is finally almost able to cash in, it stop creating income?
Update. 8/4/10
I received an email, I have not yet had a chance to respond (because I keep seeing it while at work.)

Hello,
My name is Daniel and I am an account manager to Conduit. We have noticed your post on Truxetertech regarding your rewards and I wanted to clarify some facts and offer my assistance to generate more revenue from your toolbar.
Beginning July , we have made a change to our billing system. The purpose of the change was to offer an easier and more convenient way for our publishers to generate revenue. The new system is based on payment per install so for each install of the toolbar you will generate revenue. The revenue is based on the usage and geo location of your users so the more users use the toolbar, the rate per install will increase. This means that in order to continue generating revenue from the toolbar, you need to get more users to install it by adding banners and promotions to your site, emails, forum posts and social networks. You have an excellent toolbar and an interesting site so I would imagine there are many users who would be interested in your toolbar.
We do want you to earn money since then we earn money. I will be happy to assist you in driving more revenue as well as users to your toolbar and to your site. Please let me know if you are interested.
Thanks,
Daniel

I am not sure what that means. It sounds as if there is incentive to get users, but not to keep them. Easy part is getting them especially if you have something good and someone tells a friend “hey look at this” but keeping them is another.
I wonder if I can just install it on every computer I work on and not care if they uninstall it .
Really I need to email this guy and let him know I am not mad. just in the dark a bit here.
To be totally fair everyone. Their toolbars are the only one I know that is out there that you can trust. Even through the days of the bad toolbars, Conduit is safe and always has been. That is the number 1 reason why I use them.
