I'm also inclined to think there is some day-parting involved here, that or their 'aesthetic' version pays more than the 'revenue' version. Solve rate has gone up (but is still pathetic) and revenue has gone down to $0.06. I'm seriously considering doing some age based targeting at this point.
Adcopy.com turned captcha into ads for $.10 a pop...

You have very little choice. There are three main options, security, candy, or insecure. Security doesn't look like it'd pay anything worthwhile as it's basically a normal captcha. Candy is the invisilign style ads, though I'm seeing a TON of dish network - I'm guessing dish is during the day while invisilign is night. Insecure is kind of a hybrid, they make the user type two or three longer words like 'dish network $89' which doesn't appear to pay any more than candy.
Integration though was super easy, we decided in our tests to try out before and after reg paths which otherwise wouldn't have captchas. I'm not sure how well the after has worked yet, gotta wait for the stats to update.
Tracking of captchas is out by about ten minutes, tracking of revenue seems to be out by longer as the earnings per captcha has increased. Perhaps it's out by an hour, I'm not sure.

AdCopyDotCom, here are my suggestions:
1) Talk about payments more clearly
2) If revenue isn't going to match solves then delay it till it does, people really don't mind waiting half an hour to correct stats
3) Some kind of channel or subid would be awesome. I noticed you could technically create a bunch of pub/private/hash keys for a site and do it that way, but it'd be nice to just add a param.
4) Any comments on international traffic would be very helpful. If I'm wasting my time showing captchas to non-US then I don't want to show them any. Likewise, if you guys could even add a JS variable to the page which would tell me if revenue for a successful solve is going to be <=1c I could very easily make them bypass the captcha.
5) Are you day-parting your advertisers? It's the only way I can explain rev for solves going from 4c to 11c to 6c so rapidly
6) What can't we use this for? I didn't see a ToS around
7) Are we welcome to share stats publicly?
8) Do some tests in IE, I've already submitted a ticket about with my own workaround in it
9) Set autocomplete=off in your code so it doesn't dropdown with form history
Great concept, keep doing what you're doing
