Maxman Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Okay, I know there were problems with mobile redirect ads earlier this week. That network has been scrapped and replaced with another one. Historically these guys don't pay as much but their ad quality has been much better. I asked them about the problems we had with mobile redirects and this was their response. Quote Hi Phil, We do not run such campaigns and they are strictly prohibited. We run special tools to determine such behaviors and block them. So I put their ads in place on Desktop and Tablets. I don't have any ads up at all for mobile phones. I will work them in once we verify that everything is working. Please give me as much information as possible if you have any issues. Thanks.

thshadow Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Thanks for doing this! I wouldn't be surprised if the ad networks that pay the most allow ads that do less than pleasant things (or at least they don't work too hard to prevent them).

I think they look away to bring in more money. But it is shortsighted because lack of quality will ruin the end user experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted August 3, 2017 Author Share Posted August 3, 2017 Tested out two lower paying networks and had no problems. We have a small mobile optimized ad on the website when viewing on a phone now. If there are any issues please let me know. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted August 3, 2017 Author Share Posted August 3, 2017 I am not getting yelled at today. So I am assuming that everything is working fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbatesman Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Ads are back this morning. @Maxman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachEY Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I am getting the identical ad as above. Worse than ever - can't access content at all. Posting from my work PC now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted August 7, 2017 Author Share Posted August 7, 2017 We have two ad networks in place. It is really hard to tell which one is causing the problem. So I just picked one of them and removed them completely. So right now we have one ad network in place, please let me know if the problem stops or if it continues. Give it 10 minutes or so to make sure only the one network is serving ads. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECURB Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Got one this morning... @Maxman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 Let me know if it is a once a day thing or if it keeps happening. The good news is we have a primary new ad network and when I have just them up there have been no issues. The bad news is they fill about 30% of our inventory so that means the site would be negative. So I am looking for a 2nd network, have one in there now. They are filling 100%. So at least I know where they are coming from now, just let me know if it keeps happening. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted August 15, 2017 Author Share Posted August 15, 2017 A few people mentioned issues, so I removed the 2nd ad network. Let me know if there are any problems. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't wear them - at least not on a daily basis. Risk of being choked is too high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
