This logo looks extremely familiar to "Excellence Ads" which turned out to be a scam network. Ironically both are hosted in france, and both domains were purchased from the same registrar. Also noticed no address, no contact information on the site, and the Terms of Service are as follows: " THIS IS A LEGAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU (“PUBLISHER” OR “ADVERTISER”) AND TRENDADS, (“TRENDADS NETWORK” OR “TRENDADS PLATFORM”) STATING THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS THAT GOVERN YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THE TRENDADS NETWORK. PLEASE READ THIS TRENDADS AGREEMENT (“AGREEMENT”) BEFORE PRESSING THE “SIGNUP” BUTTON AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SIGNUP PAGE. BY PRESSING “SIGNUP” YOU ARE AGREEING TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, PRESS “CANCEL” AND YOU WILL BE UNABLE TO PARTICIPATE ON THE TRENDADS NETWORK. " With nothing below it, thats the entire TOS. Not something I would agree to because the TOS doesn't actually exist. Not to call it a scam right away, but maybe someone can provide some feedback on the similarities and why you are in business with no TOS?
Good catch! Scam written all over the place. They're so money hungry they didnt even finished their site. But hey, there's plenty of fish, it only takes one or two for a good dinner.

Sounds like a huge scam to me.
I would like to see if anyone from this place cares to respond and explain. Also, just so you know, if you run adult ads on a brandsafe site, your site will eventually be labeled as non-brandsafe due to Adult Content coming from the ads being served, and that will cut you off to a lot of revenue because there are far more brandsafe/mainstream buyers than there are buyers for Adult. So don't make the mistake of running adult ads on brandsafe sites. Clearly its an amateur mistake on the part of the "network" or what ever you want to call it to allow this to go on. But if you even apply to better networks (100% Brandsafe/mainstream) with adult ads running, you will most likely be rejected just because of the adult ads alone.
