Despite their having a really awful reputation in these forums, I decided to try experimentally running BrightAds from Kanoodle on a few of my pages. The targeting is really sub-par, but I think this may be because they have too few advertisers...I see a steady rotation of a small handful of totally irrelevant ads.
At any rate the experiment was successful enough for me to try adding a few Kanoodles to another domain of mine. I applied with my existing account, got accepted on the new domains, retrieved the site-specific code, put it in.
I see no ads -- just the bar that says "Ads by Kanoodle" anywhere on the new domain.
Kanoodle support claims they can see the ads, but even a fresh browser with a flushed cache off a cold start can't see them, under Windows or Macintosh, from my house.
Has anyone encountered this kind of thing before? Any tips?
Does anyone actually use BrightAds other than me? (Publishers, I mean. Obviously advertisers don't.)
I think I'm the same boat, too -- waiting to the hit the threshold to re-analyze my options. Hopefully Yahoo or MSN ads have blossomed by then.
Since the CTR on Kanoodle is pretty wretched (in my limited experience) I have to say I'm relying on pops to keep the pennies flowing. If it weren't for pops the prospects of reaching the threshold before the company goes under would seem gloomy.
