    Has anyone used both? How do they compare? Can anyone point me to a site using context-sensitive targetpoint text ads?

    best,

    I used to use targetpoint, and they did pay me.. so they are a good company to work with. But I found the ads just weren't very interesting to my users, so the CTR was pretty weak. I also found that their servers where extreemly slow at times, and so the ads would take a good 2 minutes to load, and by that time many people had already left the page, or scrolled past the ad. They may have fixed this though.

    It will depend on the catagory.. but for sites that don't do well with Adsense, deffinatly worth a shot.

    I am pretty sure the ads above the movies on this site are targetpoint. The content is not great so the targeting is a bit fuzzy.
