And it IS a bigger problem than you might think... Ad networks live and die with their publisher relationships and need to keep them solvent through thin quarters.

Any ad network worth its salt has to be able to hold substantial recievables and still continue to pay their publishers. There are months when they get tied to a tree and beat with a shovel. Just my take. Saul,
