Has anyone tried the Market Banker service? Any success in finding new leads?

Yes - I tried it and leave it running until I find a good replacement. Results are OK for the site where it is in action as it's quite some traffic with a pretty low value and the project was bought cheap and the marketbanker text-ads are unobstrusive.

Total Hits 10,774,044
Total Clicks 45,256
Total revenue $4,581.30

Only about 500 bucks of that is made by dedicated bookings - all the other money is coming from the network ads with an always changing success. Right now there are only Viagra and adult oriented ads in the rotation (that you could ban if you want) but overall it's ok for the low traffic quality my site has and it's more than the previous owner earned with porn popups and email subscriptions. So nearly nil new bookings but quite some bucks in your pocket from the network-ads.

Just a note on pricing: I keep the prices pretty low without a noticeable stream of new advertisers but those who book the marketbanker-ads directly from my site get a click for as low as 1,1 cent while the network-ads are generating much more per click.

SAVE YOUR MONEY!

MarketBanker ran thru $64.95 of mine in just a few days. Traffic did not convert...

Attempted to e-mail them asking "what prevents your distribution partners from clicking on the ads?" No response ever received.

Considered contesting the charges on my credit card.
