Experience with Miva as a Publisher?

Just got accepted to Miva...is it any better than Yahoo?

[angmi90]

My technology-related Web site was just accepted into Miva's publisher program. I really like the ability to target using keywords and to create custom ad sizes. I currently use Yahoo! for all of my CPC text ads and they do fairly well, but the targeting could be better at times. The rates I get aren't bad either.

So my question is...is there a reason to switch from Yahoo to Miva? What is your experience and opinion of Miva from a publishers point of view? Thanks for any information and guidance.

First of all why would you choose a 3rd level company with a very bad reputation (do a WW site search for threads on MIVA) when you have both AdSense & Yahoo available to you?

From previous threads here it seems that MIVA accepts virtually anyone to drive traffic.

As an advertiser, all I can say is that MIVA is *$@##%&

IMO they or their partners indulge in blatant fraud.

Yep second all those comments.

MIVA IMHO can only go one way... down. Click fraud is shocking! Go YSM every time - at least they will be around in 2 years time in some format!
