There's so much about this that I just don't understand. I'm wondering, OP, is English a second/third language for your team? Or was this written in a weekend sprint/hurry-up mode/contest? There's just a lot on the home page alone that doesn't make sense. "SELL QUALITY ADS & SPONSORSHIPS FOR FREE" - why would I sell "for free"? Maybe you mean "commission free" or "without fees"? It's ambiguous. Oh sure, if I spend th…

second language, yes. Thanks for the feedback.

I don't want to be that guy but I used your network for two months and I was really disappointed. I quit your service in March and I hope you solved these issues by now. I was annoyed about the fact that the stats stopped to be shown to me after a month. I was just receiving money without knowing what clicks or impressions I had for the banners placed on my sites. Another thing that I disliked was that in the last month of partnership, there was only one advertiser in my banner cycle which meant that the variety of banners was low, leading to a decreasing number of clicks. I surely hope that by now you contacted more advertisers. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying these things to give you bad publicity, instead I'm hoping that you solved/are solving these problems so that me along with other publishers will use your service again. For the moment, I'm using Adsense and I'm receiving more money than from influAds.

I've been using influads for 3 months now and haven't faced any of those problems. I can see my daily stats, and have a variety of ads served by them. And even though I didn't had a high traffic blog, still they accepted me, that means something to me.

Also, adsense may be a good chocie for you, but I'll perhaps never use it. I like to have a single tiny add on my website, which is atleast somewhat related to what I write. Besides, having larger ads, or too many ads, just spoils the reading experience. For me, providing a good reading experience to my readers is as important as making money from it.

Glad to know that adsense works great for you. It would never work for me. Just my 2 cents :)
