Shahmir Ansari, operating out of Delhi, India, launched Your Ad Pays in February 2012, offering matrix entry buy-ins starting at $130. The company presents itself as an advertising platform, but its core function involves a recruitment-based compensation structure.
Ansari registered the 'youradpays.com' domain on February 14, 2012. The website provides no information about who owns or runs the operation. Ansari's LinkedIn profile lists him as a "leader at Tvi Express," a scheme banned in multiple countries. He was also a member of Club Asteria in 2010.
He manages the Google Group 'BuildUrFortune'. This group promotes various MLM recruitment and investment schemes he previously participated in, including Ricochet Riches, Zeek Rewards, Wazzub, and InnoCashAds.
Your Ad Pays claims to sell login, text, and banner advertising. Members cannot purchase this advertising directly. Instead, the company bundles advertising credits with the purchase of an entry ticket into its 3x1 matrix. These credits display member ads on a network within the Your Ad Pays website.
Advertising credits are not available for purchase without an associated matrix entry. The company also states it provides monthly ebooks, software, desktop generator tools, how-to videos, graphics, and templates, but offers no specific details on these materials.
The Your Ad Pays compensation plan relies on two primary matrix structures. The first is a 3x1 matrix. A member enters at the top, with three positions below.
Filling these positions pays a commission. The first two filled spots yield $50 each, and the third spot pays $30, totaling $130.
After completing the 3x1 matrix, members move into a 3x3 matrix with 39 positions. Members on the first and second levels (3 and 9 positions) each generate $20. Members on the third level (27 positions) pay $150 each. This structure leads to a potential payout of $4050.
Cycling out of the 3x3 matrix grants two re-entry positions into a single 3x1 matrix. The process then repeats. A third matrix, a 2x1 feeder, exists. It costs $65 to enter and requires two members to cycle out. Your Ad Pays also pays a $20 commission to the upline of any member who buys a 3x1 matrix entry or cycles from a 3x3 back into a 3x1.
