Hi, Just wanted to share my worst experience with banner connect (CPM network). Initially, I am not saying that much about them, and just pasting their latest reply for my complain
I have very good experience with Bannerconnect, of course traffic from India isn't profitable, what did you expect? They pay very well for US and European traffic.
yeah totally agree with you they are horrible! They pay dirt for US traffic so for indian you would expect nothing!
I was doing fine with them for a few months before they became overrun with fling.com, meetblackpeople.com and other redirect ads to fill remnant inventory. I'm at the point now where I had to drop all yield manager networks as the redirect ads have gotten out of control.
Redirects are a big problem lately and it amazes me what little action these ad networks are taking against it. Snoork, Smowtion, and Uggie are smaller networks that I've experienced this happening on... not good for startups that are trying to build a reputation. Bigger networks like Right Media, Canep and Chitika's graphic CPM ads are also having a problem with this... and seem to be doing little to stop it. If a network the size of Advertising.com can stop this from happening through a strict audit process, these other big networks have no excuse. Good CPM networks that I have not seen this on yet: Advertising.com, Valueclick, Adsdaq, and Adbrite (though I do manually approve Adbrite ads). Right now you have to be careful when choosing your ad networks. Either choose a network that has a solid reputation, or ones that give you complete control over what creatives you can use.
