I think there are lots of cool things that can be done with SMS but I don't think I get this. Why would an advertiser want to text in their ads instead of just typing them up in adwords or another advertising platform?

This are my reasons for creating this platform. 1. This is made with the local market in mind (Nigeria, West Africa), I doubt if this would be a hit in the first world. 2. Due to lack of a reliable payment gateway for local users here in Nigeria, I decided to use premium sms (short code). Once an advertiser texts his ad to the shortcode, his prepaid credit is debited, his ad appears on the target website of his choice and the revenue is shared between the ad platform, the shortcode provider and the website owner. 3. Google adsense or adwords isnt too attractive here in Nigeria because of the hassles of getting paid by google. Recurring online payment gateway issues.
