Well, Rubicon for example has 700 sell-side partners [1]... so, very large . PubMatic, I believe, is similar. Your other options for mixing stuff in with AdSense would be to find some fairly targeted affiliate programs; however, it's

Todd from @BuySellAds here. An ideal setup is one in which you utilize about a handful of different companies in the "Tier 2" position. Probably no more than a handful though, because after that it gets hard to manage and rather c

There was a time last year when they banned us (BuySellAds) from advertising on AdWords. I doubt that it was any sort of intentional target toward us; however, it seemed rather convenient to ban us for having customer testimonials where our

Wait, I'm confused - I'd at least expect you to mention something about us getting into the PR circle jerk as part of the program? Is that not part of it?

We have a Cocoa framework: http://buysellads.com/sell/developer However, it's not incredibly popular in the sense that we have 100's of desktop apps using it. We do have some that use it successfully though. And it's mainly used as a way

We have plenty of sites at http://BuySellAds.com that earn a $5-$10 CPM from direct ad sales. In any tech related niche, $5-$10 is pretty darn good. It also depends how you define CPM. You won't find any single ad unit itself commanding a

it actually looks like your ad is doing decent - despite the low click through rate. if you look at the price of the 1 ad you purchased & average out what it's costing you per click it's not bad at all. I'd be surprised if you were able

I'd even argue that now there is greater brand recognition for the app that they SHOULD be advertising for it. There's still plenty of arbitrage in app advertising, trust me - otherwise, selling ads on iphone app review sites would not be a

(disclosure: I founded BuySellAds.com) I think it's a great idea, actually. At BSA we've been talking about newsletter ads for a while, but haven't been able to commit to executing on it properly. We went as far as acquiring the NewsletterA

that's a good point and an interesting way to look at it - anti-up on your retargeting spend to help block out competitors. i wonder if the re-targeting networks have a way for advertisers to mark competitors and then bid against them?

ah, I see your account & support ticket, and the site was denied. I tried visiting the site URL and it doesn't resolve... which is likely why it was denied. I'm happy to help troubleshoot some more if you want to ping me at todd@buyse

I can't argue with you on that - poor 1st experience. I assume you'd rather not share your domain submitted here... if you have a moment, would you mind emailing me the domain and/or account email you signed up with to todd@buysellads.com

it's not like 200K has gone into what they're releasing now. 200K needs to last them for a while :) in my book, it takes balls to release something this early. so, kudo's to them.
