Whirl Click - Ad Network

Hi,

We at Whirl Click Inc. (http://whirlclick.com) have recently launched our ad network to the public. We currently offer CPM based ads and are partnered with multiple advertisers, networks, and exchanges to provide you with a high fill rate for your inventory
and display the highest paying ad.

If you are a publisher looking to place ads on your site please visit the site and signup for a publisher account and our ad operations team will review your application.

If you are a advertiser and looking at advertising please signup for a advertiser account.

For more information on the network please visit the site or send an email to our support department and we will get back to you asap.

Thanks,
http://WhirlClick.com

 

Has anyone here tried this network? What kind of rates (if that's information that can be revealed publicly)? Any known issues with malware?

 

Hi Quidditas, we are always scanning our ads for malware from the time they are approved throughout the time they are in operation.
One of the sites that uses our network is mp3fiber.com if you would like to see the ads on it.

If you are interested give our network a try for 48 hours and see how you like it

Thanks!

 

It does look like something that I might try. But one issue that I have is your net 60 payment terms. As new ad networks come and go, there is always some concern about whether or not the publisher will get paid. Faster payments would be a great way to increase trust.

 

What technology do you guys use for scanning your ads for redirects, malware, autoclick, etc. ???

 

-- For the time being we are doing net-60 payments but in the near future we will decrease this to net-45 and then if needed we will look into the possibility of further decreasing it.

-- For scanning this sort of stuff we have a few steps that the system goes though. For our direct advertisers all ads are scanned by a staff member once they are uploaded to our system to make sure no malware or redirects happen. If the advertiser decides to change their banner our system will stop their banner until it is reviewed by our staff and reactivated. For all other banners we have in-house built software that scans everything 24/7 that's not including taking into consideration for the software that our partners use such as the appnexus sherlock technology.

If you have any further questions do let us know

 

The in house stuff sounds interesting. So how do you guys review 3rd party tags and prevent malware and redirects from coming through on them? As far as Sherlock, I laughed for a min. because the network I work for uses AppNexus and sherlock does not stop malware. It does a minimal job of selectively targeting certain bad creatives/tags but if you are depending on parters who are monetizing your remnant who use AppNexus to keep malware off your clients sites due to sherlock, thats not the case by a long shot.

 

-- The the sherlock is just 1 layer of scanning of course when the ads are then passed we as well scan the ads to the best of our ability. We wish we could manually review the ads as we do with our direct advertisers but it's impossible to do so.

 

Yeah completely understand its a huge problem in the industry. You could also check out a technology which scans in realtime such as RiskIQ or something of the likes.

 

Thank you for the suggestion, I will pass this along to our development team

 

We now have more advertisers then ads we can push out. So if there are any publishers interested please let us know.

Thanks,

Beware of this network,
account was deactivated with no explanation. I am not even going to ask why.
No fake traffic or fake views/clicks has been sent, thus this could not be the reason

 

Hi, your site (which we will not post on here) was hosting content that was against our terms of service.

If you feel that this is an error please contact our support team asap.

Thanks!

 

The ecpm are so low, US traffic has only 0.025 ecpm

 

Hi, the country wise stats are meant to advertisers and not publishers. For publishers we only placed it there so they can check on countries and impressions delivered.

If you have any questions about this please contact the support department.

EDIT: Also please allow 24 hours for your earnings and ecpm rates to get to the correct level.

Thanks!

 

No, i mean the ecpm of US traffic from the revenue report, it is $0.025 for US, as i have calclated

 

Hi, can you email the support department with your account username so we can look into it for you. And we will also see if your website is eligible for our premium inventory.

Thanks!

 

Be careful dealing with this guys. I have a feeling they will screw you in the end.

Like what happening now:
1. They keep manipulating my earnings. Like I see $10 today, but after 2 days the $10 will turn to $0.55. And goes on and on.
2. They banned my 2 friends with no apparent reasons rather than they are complaining for their earnings like what happened to my earnings.

So like I said be careful, I'm still giving them 5 days and if they still keep changing my earnings I will drop them.

 

I would hope this is inaccurate, slight adjustments are understandable but that is extreme

 

Hi, charice.preston can you please email our support department along with your account username so we can look into it?

We have not received any email from you regarding this, let us know so we can investigate it.

Thanks!
