is it me or what ? before i used to manually select full page ads and used to show to only 5$ and above cpm ones, since i do not want to annoying users for just a buck or less but today strange i saw in ad manual selection adbrite is not showing max CPM bid ? seems they are forcing me to select auto approve
adbrite is getting more and more dodgy. Last month they charged me twice more then I had set for my PCC ads. Now they refusing to delete my campaigns and credit card details saying that their system is not designed to do it. I called my bank and blocked any charges from them at the end
Adbrite is really a false company. I set up my adbrite ad rate too higher & using other ppc code.So,they don't play any game with me.
something changed from control panel ,they are not showing the ad bids.either ppm or ppc.must be they have changed system so you cannot bypass the low click ads.would be nice if they let us know! they send enough email telling you to run there popups
Back in April, AdBrite launched their Open Targeting Exchange. Today AdBrite is announcing the launch of a behavioral targeting product within their ad network. They note that their behavioral network is five times larger than any of their competitors. From the announcement, "Leveraging technology from AdBrite’s Open Targeting Exchange (OTEx), AdBrite’s new Behavioral Targeting service allows advertisers to show ads to users with interest and/or purchase intent in 14 major categories and over 3,000 sub-categories." Pricing is set via a real-time auction. The new behavioral product is only available to a select group of advertisers on an invitation-only basis. Computers and Internet are not initial launch categories. Instead they have (smartly) selected more monetizable categories including: Automotive, Business & Finance, Careers, Consumer Electronics, Dating & Singles, Health, Music, and Travel. It's good to see AdBrite testing out new advertising options. By pushing forward, it can help them draw in additional advertisers to the AdBrite system as a whole. My issue with AdBrite since their initial launch was the lack of advertisers. Having a million publishers is great but if there are no advertisers to fill the ads, it means nothing. AdBrite noted that they have 70,000 active publishers, up from 50,000 at the beginning of 2008. I'd prefer to see fill rate and total number of advertisers (not including ebaumsworld). Veoh launched their behavioral targeted ad network last week. And ValueClick is expected to announce their behavioral ad product today as well. Here's a very short video from eMarketer on behavioral targeting:
to have lots of advertisers in two categorys adult and low paying ppm.Once you eliminate bids like 1 cent per 1000 page views the ads are not there.I usually see 2 bid pages over $1 per 1000 page views and another 40 pages of lower bid ads to be approved.I figure thats why they are hiding the bids to cram down the low paying ads on the publishers.i am not interested in junking up my site with ads that pay less than $5-10 /1000 page views.In regard to ppc I have seen some$1 bids but they never really display many ppc ads even the 5 cent variety even if you approve them...If you look around the internet you will see the same ads from them cause many people manually approve only over a certain bid..and there arent many higher bid ads.
