How come we still haven't seen a YC company competing with Adsense/Adwords?

How come we still haven't seen a YC company competing with Adsense/Adwords?
- jonknee 14y agoI'd love to see some competition, but it's a tough nut to crack. Yahoo gave it a try for a few years, but ended up shutting their offering down. Google has millions of paying advertisers, billions of page views and the ability to match them up in real time. All the while providing analytics to both sides. You're not going to beat them at efficiency. I get pitches from ad networks all the time, but they are almost never able to beat AdSense. Google never had to set up a conference call to win my business, they just do a better job,
- thenomad 14y agoYahoo have just opened their offering up again, in partnership with Media.net. I currently run ads through Media.net, and they're responsive and good to work with (so far). I'm quite excited by this new development.
