- mozumder 10y agoYes. This is how it was done during the magazine era.
- adrianN 10y agoDid anybody advertise in 12000 magazines?
- mozumder 10y agoIf you include international magazines and newspapers, then yes.
- rtpg 10y agoRarely. It was usually an ad agency that would do the actual deals to get things into magazines. You could always contact a single magazine, but big corporations would let their ad agency handle distribution
- imaginenore 10y agoJust give them your ad code (a JS snippet), this way you control your ads. Billing is a solved problem too, no?
- dpark 10y ago> Billing is a solved problem too, no? No. Billing is a huge pain in the ass. Negotiating price with each site is a huge pain in the ass. Building a reliable JS snippet that works everywhere and that these sites will trust is also a huge pain in the ass. Everything about dealing with 5k sites manually is a pain in the ass, which is why ad networks exist in the first place.
- idunno246 10y agoactually a lot of them still use google, which can also run private deal ads.
