Reading you bio, you run a tiny competitor to Glam, so full disclosure would have been nice. Wendy-

Last week was not a pay check period. Check you facts before slinging mud. Glam moved a small % to variable in November, which at the rate their are performing would mean no change to possibly making more and there has been no change since then. @bebop,

They are having massive inventory issues right now, and don't understand how taking on more publishers is going to solve this problem. Hopefully AdaptiveAds comes with an impressive client list, but I have a hard time believing that it's THAT good. I think that this is only the first of several acquisitions we see in the womens ad network space. It's way too saturated right now and has *never* had a good ad inventory to publisher inventory ratio.

To integrate vertically if you will. I am not overly well-read into how Glam media runs its ad operations, but having your own targeting system would be extremely handy giving the percentage rates these services tend to charge publishers. I assume that they have run the amortization numbers and the ROI here is positive. (or they just got a steal) Hey Daniel,
