Signed up with Matched.co.uk in March of 2008 and started advertising with them. I hosted their banners on two of my websites for over two months and never got paid. I sent a email to every contact address I could find for them and no reply. I took the ads down and got automated messages from the spider bot stating my ads were taken down, but nothing from the admin explaining why they haven't paid me.
There are a great number of blogs out there promoting Matched.co.uk, keep in mind while reading their reviews that their link to Matched.co.uk is a affiliate link, meaning the website owner gets a commission when they refer you.
I didn't get paid, they didn't return my emails and I did the work by following their TOS to the letter. Beware of Matched.co.uk

I was just browsing the Internet and came across this report, claiming that Matched.co.uk is a scam. I would like to assure readers that Matched are not a scam and have paid many users on time every month.
I use the program for a number of my websites, and advertise a small Matched ad on each page. Every month, without fail, I get paid £3 per ad, which amounts to £30 a month. I get this paid into my Paypal account without fail.
I know there may be some people out there who have yet to be paid for their ads, or are still waiting for ads to be assigned to them. For people who are waiting for ads to be assigned, or have been rejected, I know that the companies who use Matched are becoming more "pickier" about what sites to advertise their product on - They are favouring those related to finance, such as loans, debts, insurance and related products. So for those people who are applying for ads to be assigned to their pages
- If they are not related, they will be rejected.
As for the not being paid at all - If the Spider that Matched uses doesn't identify your pages/ads (for example, if your page takes a while to load), then you will not get paid for your ads. All I can recommend is check whether your sites load up OK etc.
I just wanted to assure people that Matched isn't a scam. Thousands of people the world over use this service, and get paid promptly.
I hope this helps - I just wanted to voice my opinion on the matter. I wouldn't be sticking up for them if they were a scam, but they really aren't.
