I've had my site active for over 2 years now, and they still won't let me withdraw my earnings. I've never gotten a response from their support either, and I've sent more than 10 emails. I don't know... See more

Scam Site! KEEP OF IT

Scam Site!

Be warned, they have not reviewed my site and it is still in the "approved state" even after 6+ months, and I have *$95* pending but they refuse to give it. Just look for other methods to earn money, arc is a scam, I thought I would just give it a try even after reading all the negative reviews which was a very bad idea. Months of potential money wasted.

Arc.io has always been legit

Just want to clarify that Arc.io has always been legit and paying on time. If you're wondering why a lot of reviews say its a scam - that's because these reviews were made before Arc.io made it clear on their dashboard that they don't pay unless they have approved the payouts first. They also are still a small team with a lot of users, that's why their e-mail responses can be slow.

Very good for monetization!

Good as an additional (or even main) way to monetize my site. Payment using this is similar to what I am getting with the ad network I use (PopAds).
Very good support, payment every friday. Thanks guys. Not sure why people are rating this service so low. Yes, you do have to have your website approved and it takes a little bit of time but it's worth it for extra income and not cluttering your site with more ads. In fact, I could probably go ad free and have just Arc to sustain my site. Again, thank you!

I wish I could give a minus five-star review. My over 7usd is stocked there. Because of my high traffic, I was able to meet their threshold timely. However I they didn't pay and never responded to my mail. I can show proof to trustpilot Admin to end this suffering we (publishers) pass through, at least, from Arc.

I like the concept

(Updated) Signed up for this a couple of days ago and reached the 5 USD threshold. Customer Support is helpful and friendly so far.
Setting up the widget was fairly easy and was done in 5 minutes.
