Ad Dynamo Review 2: Publishers - Overall Experience, Very Disappointing

    i read a thread about a review on ad dynamo a few months back and quite a lot of people have asked for further views but no-one delivered, so i thought i'll chip in.

    their support started off really well - same day reply to emails but after a couple of them they just ignore you altogether in a "take it or leave it manner". so i ended up only serving them for around 2 weeks. their rates were also very low - i was making around $1 for 75k impressions - you do the math, and most of my traffic was from USA, Canada & Europe (all considered premium countries).

    anyway, some screenshots and stats below for you. you'll noticed that as i start to give them more impressions and clicks, the earnings went down - how fantastic! my average ecpm for the 2 weeks was just $0.01. if anyone can recommend better publishers please share.

    hmm really? whats your nitch?

    mine shows :

    Clicks : 22 Impressions : 76,923 ECPM : $ 0.08 Earnings : $ 4.79

    Apparently my 22 clicks made close to your 288 clicks maybe its the niche settings.


    Also not only that my area is same as yours but i got 80% earnings while you get only 20%

    you need to ask them why its that color.

    Hi Guys - firstly thanks to all of you for giving Ad Dynamo a go. I'm the CEO of Ad Dynamo & would like to offer some additional viewpoints:

    - Firstly, monkeyflap, your earnings were horrendous & I'd love to help figure out why. Please drop me an email on sean @ addynamo.com with your username & I'll see what we can do.
    - I'm also concerned that our support & attitude dropped off. That's not how we operated & I'm disappointed that we let ourselves & you down.

    Ad Dynamo is currently embarking on a major international growth strategy and European and US earnings should be boosted by this within the next few weeks. We realize that we do fall short from time to time but it goes with the territory of entering an international market with a single dominant competitor. We are making headway, though, and it can't happen without your support. By supporting us you are helping to introduce more choice to a market that has very little.

    Thanks for your honest feedback.

    I'm really disappointed it seems they do not have enough advertisers for most valuable traffic (like US).

    Look at this:

    [​IMG]

    31 clicks from US and not even $0.01.
    I really expected something better after reading reviews of this network.

    They are paying different rates, sometime higher sometime lower, depend on their advertiser.
    But I am glad to use them, as they have nice small ad formats which I can put additional to other ads, so I am not losing money even on small earnings from them is good. Also they always paying in time, with very short waiting time - just in start of new month I always get their payment by paypal, not like most other ad networks which need to way 30 days before payment.
