I'm just about to get into media buying a second time in my life... First time in 2008 I tried to run acai on ValueClick because my aff manager promised I'd kill it since his other affiliate was doing over 2 mil a month on valueclick and revenue science... Needless to say I lost about $8k to ValueClick's "just a little more optimization."
I'd like to use a 3rd party or self-hosted adserver that will likely be approved to use with most networks.... though I will be doing a lot of direct buys I think.
Please suggest an adserver
You can use Google DoubleClick for free.
If you are looking for a paid one with support - I hear that AdShuffle is another good choice.
I posted a similar thread just minutes ago: http://stmforum.com/forum/showthread...Banner-Hosting
@tnakov: How to get into Google DoubleClick? Maybe you can provide a link?
Sure - http://www.google.com/dfp/info/sb/index.html
Its free for up to 90 million impressions per month.
Sitescout is good, zedo is ok but their minimum contract sucks...
Pretty sure we already had a similar thread... but:
AdShuffle - No min monthly spend, Powerful Tools, admin is sloooww as fuck.
SiteScout - Monthly mins, fast interface, multi pane ads.
Open X - Opensource, FREE, great for small managed buys.
