They allow people to advertise on your site for a weekly fee, right? WHat are the pros and cons from your experience? thanks

Hi,

I use them, along with AdSense, TribalFusion and Casale Media.

Cons:

1) Much lower eCPM/revenue than anyone else for me.
2) Very unreliable admin servers, eg it can take many many attempts to get some campaign changes to stick, and in some cases I have given up.
3) They are still in a muddle about allowing some of your zones to have their "Intermission" ads and some not, which is a shame since some zones are very different from others.
4) I've not actually had any money from them after many months because earnings are so slow!
5) Ad serving can be slow (so put ads in an iframe where you can to keep your pages loading quickly).
6) More (daily) maintenance required than the other networks.

Pros:

1) Simple and flexible ad format with few restrictions.
2) Wide range of "filler"/network adverts from tame to filthy (I stick to the tame end).
3) Good advertsing slots for when you want to buy some publicity (I've spent far far more with them than I will ever receive!).
4) Quite nice "Intermission" ad format, which is much less tiresome than an interstitial or floater, etc.
5) Far fewer restrictions and complications than with other networks.
