We will be announcing additional ad network and graphical banner support very shortly. hi all,

Their website clearly says they optimize you text ads, not graphical as you stated here. So far they only do google, yahoo & ebay. So it is basically worthless. Erick

Am I missing something? Their website clearly says they optimize you text ads, not graphical as you stated here. So far they only do google, yahoo & ebay. So it is basically worthless.

Its an interesting service and I hope they are effective with other sites, but unfortunately they were unable to deliver improved performance out of our ad network. After about a month trial run, we had to remove them from our site. We'll definitely give them a shot again later on when they're out of Beta; if they can deliver what they're promising, it would be well worth it. Basically, what happens is you hand control of your site's unoptimized ad space over to them, and they try to get the best performance out of it. I'm curious if others had varying results. Our revenue was a little bit down when we implemented their solution, but admittedly, our content is somewhat difficult to work with, and we only provided them with one ad-network (Google Adsense). I'm assuming the more ad networks you provide, (I think you can also plug in Overture and some others) the better they will be able to optimize the ad performance.

What the heck do they do? It will be interesting to see how this turns out. Vegas odds has it as a very long shot. Hmmm, I’ve got to be honest their website sucks. What the heck do they do?
