not NSFW at all! Actually our advertisers are as Top100 as they come! Adsense was not really performing that well when we made the switch, but even after the switch to the new provider - we haven't experienced the highs we were hoping for. But yes, the company who manages our inventory is quite respected in the industry we are in - simply horrible with their reporting for our figures. And yes, no breakdown of figures…

Would like to learn about company that can pay better than adsense on regular basis. I am reading this first time. Edit: I would suggest you to give one more try to adsense, it might perform better this time.

It's an agency. They have actual sales people who have relationships with the companies and sell them ad campaigns on individual sites (in a certain niche).

So why not send your mobile traffic to Google Adsense, and the normal traffic to your current ad provider.

Because I have an exclusive agreement with that agency. It's obvious now after reading some of these answers that i need to review my agreement with them

Thanks, got it, niche is the keyword here.
