    Anybody else having issues with GumGum since the 1st? They stopped serving ads on my sites and I have noticed the same for other people's sites that use GumGum.

    I contacted them about it and got a generic response about how they changed their way of targeting ads. No help at all. And still no ads served since the 1st.

    Hi All, we apologize for any confusion. Your inability to get data or see ads on your website could be caused by a couple different things.

    I haven't used them since I made the $50.00 payout. I have around 10k uniques per day they wanted to only count around 1000-1500 and on top of that pay 7 cents CPM.

    I've waited patiently, but they are counting less than %10 of my traffic which is mostly US traffic. That's a huge change. I used to make really good money from GumGum, but now I make about $1 per day. Don't think it's worth it to use them anymore. Any other image ad companies that work well for you guys?

    Another update. GumGum is worse than ever. They are counting around %5 of my traffic, yet I see ads on nearly all of my images. The images are put into galleries of 25-100 single column full images on a page. GumGum ads show up on around %75 of those images on each page. It's like I'm giving away free advertising to them. Kinda' seems like they are skimming or something. Anyway, I'm thinking it's time to find a better in-image ad company. Anyone have success with other companies? I've heard mixed reviews about Luminate.
