Ad Servers - Problems with .NET?

Linking Ad Networks Slows Down Site

[Everest]

I have many ads on my site using a few different Ad Networks. My load time is seriously slowed down and sometimes it takes the ads 30 seconds or longer to load. Has anyone noticed lags in load time when using ad server technology with .NET?

Very grateful for any help. Thanks!

It shouldn't take that long for the Ad Server to do its work, are you sure that this is the bottleneck and not the ads themselves? (ie. loading time from an external server)

In all of the cases I have ever seen, it was the ad itself that was the bottleneck. Our solution was to place the ads within an iFrame, allowing the rest of the website to load while the ad itself is being retrieved.
