Anyone know what is budbi.com? (14)

---

I'm starting to see this guy copying ads and outbidding everyone on many of my traffic sources.

Also called flingguru.

The strange thing... he always redirect to budbi.com .... wich seems to be a general LP that automatically redirect to different offers based on the geo...

The even stranger thing is that advidi is signed at the bottom.

http://www.similarweb.com/website/budbi.com (go in the referral section)

budbi is owned/run by advidi. they do direct buys with a lot of the major traffic sources (trafficjunky)

---

This. They are a CPA network, great guys, I have known them all a very long time. They built a great platform and are doing some nice things with it nowadays, it has come a long way. The CEO is one of the biggest adult media buyers there is, he was the largest affiliate for fling.com for more than 5 years. I'll send this thread to one of the guys over there.

Just a note on the stealing banners part, they have a lot of affiliates using them so it is likely not advidi but the affiliates that are ripping your banners.

Hey Ross/trafficforce,

Thanks for the heads up.

We run advidi.com a network for dating and pharma offers. I can proudly say we serve the biggest affiliates out there with our CPA network. Besides being an offer broker we offer much more!

We offer inhouse campaign management on links and banners (with option to add you own banners), we serve over 1.000.000.000 impressions per day for +50 bigger affiliates.

Feel free to check us out if you want your traffic to be managed well and your campaigns being auto optimised, meaning no more swapping offer links all the time

I always have a laugh when I see ppl saying budbi stole my ads haha.

Ivo is quite transparent and honest with what they do there, and that is actually a good resource for a network to take off the optimization/redirection part off of the affiliate's shoulders.

---

I always wondered why someone would offer managing traffic and auto optimization for someone else rather than just buy the traffic direct.

Ie affiliate x comes to you to promote offer y.. he runs on traff source z. Why cant just advidi buy on source z.. send the traffic to your budbi auto optimizer and cut out the middle man?

We are good at establishing relationships with advertisers AND building inhouse technology, thats where our focus is.

Its like the same reason why Exoclick isn't subscribing to advertisers or why advertisers are not buying traffic themselves.

Stick at what your good at. We have good AM's for affiliates/advertisers and lots of developers, we cant hire people that have the same dedicated motivation as standalone affiliates. If its really your own money then your "bosses" money you work much harder. So we focussed on growing relationships and technology to gain market.

We believe that standalone affiliates can also go directly to an advertisers, but we try to avoid that by offering them lots of tools that increase ROI and time spend on optimising while making their live easier ;-)

Hope this makes sense

Very cool. Value added.. smart
And i totally get the motivation part employees vs self employed entrepreneurs.

Want screenshots? Hashtags?

Seems so far budbi is just a generic lander, offered by advidi.

No idea tho, why the "bigger affiliates" with probably "a lot of experience" would track down a traffic source and completly copy dozen of ads then outbid everyone.

Not sure why these big affiliates would also run a generic lander offered by a network, instead of in-house optimization...

I understand there is competition in AM, but never seen something on a scale like this before.

PS: Also I would strongly warn anyone about direct linking to any network on a large scale, since that obviously expose your traffic source. Why not cut the middle man?

---

What pisses me off is not even the fact they steal all my ads, i know that's the way to go for a lot of ppl and who am I to judge, it's the internet. But is the fact that they slap their logo on it... i mean that's just disrespectful in my opinion

---

The crew at Advidi did pioneer a lot of angles and ads themselves. They've been in the game for a long time and they're also a group of very stand up individuals.

---

Surely you can hide referrals easily if you feel more comfortable not showing your sources. Feel free to contact an AM so he can tell you more about the benefits of Advidi's technology and support.

---

They have some great offers. It's worth joining the network.

In reference to the 'outbidding', well, on one source at least... the key to their volume isn't the bid itself, but the scope of the countries being targeted.

Budbi detects and funnels all traffic, whereas most affiliates target a single country.

That's a big operational advantage, especially on certain traffic sources that reward ads based on CTR.

It can be frustrating, especially if you've come up with a great banner and it gets jacked. But it happens to everybody. And it's done by everybody.

I'd place the blame on the traffic source itself for publicly displaying every advertiser's creatives and bids.

Their interface is an absolute trash heap, which doesn't help.

The scale is their advantage.

There's no such thing as impressions paid for by sympathy -- we have to build our own smarter models to compete.

Thanks Finch
