Why is DP using google ads instead of DP ads?

    I am just wondering why DP is using google for ad serving instead of its own system?

    I would think that displaying DP ads on the site would show the system and how well it works..

    I was actually looking into changing to DP ads but then noticed that google is being used..why?
    Is google giving a higher profit?

    I see ads from DP to use the system when logged in and as a guest and I thought it might be a good alternative, but I don't understand why google is being used for advertising while promoting DP ads on its own site?

    To me it is just like google advertising adsense but showing DP ads on their site.

    Maybe I am getting it wrong and missing something but just wanted to ask..

    We use AdSense as a "fallback" when there are no Digital Point Ads to display for that page view.

    Some areas are more popular to advertise than others. For example there's almost always DP Ads to run in things like the affiliate program section or web hosting section.

    And by this time of day, many advertisers have used up their daily budgets.

    Is there a way to change this? Google ads don't display on our domain. They are fairly open about their anti-gun policies.

    You want to change what we use on our site because Google ads don't display on your domain? Huh?
