An ad service that doesn’t make me mad

I’ve been a longtime BuySellAds user on my website and newsletter Tedium, and I came to them after trying a lot of things over the years that did not move the needle. While a lot of competing ad offerings have come and gone, it has been one of the most consistent services that I’ve worked with, and I’ve been quite happy to collaborate with them over the years.

When a concern about ad revenue was raised, I was able to talk it through with them, and they were able to help manage my frustration.

I find their Carbon Ads offering to be quite elegant, and I am hopeful that I can keep this relationship going for years to come.

I'm publisher of two medium-large sites…

I'm publisher of two medium-large sites that have outgrown Adsense but are just about too small for GAM directly (which requires ~80M requests monthly). BSA have been fantastic throughout the last two years, working with me to increase revenue without destroying usability for site visitors. Every time there has been any sort of issue with Google, they've helped to fix it quickly, and their non Google offering allows for a second option while Google is being a pain, which is incredibly nice as it's nerve wracking to have your entire income supplied at the whim of such a large company that are too big to speak with you directly. And in my few trials of other suppliers, BSA managed to outperform.
I've had some minor criticisms with some accidental misconfigurations on their part leading to a loss of a day or so of revenue, but considering this was cleared up quickly and easily done considering my non standard setup, I will stick to my review of 5/5 stars. Any time I have needed to contact them they have been quick to respond, with people available in multiple time zones, which is very useful as issues can strike at any time of the day or night.

I am happy with the high-quality ads…

I am happy with the high-quality ads that BSA is bringing to my site, and the creativity and talent of the BSA team continue to impress me. I feel valued with BSA, and most importantly, my revenue is stronger than ever while the user experience on my site is much improved since switching from my previous ad stack manager.

I've been with BuySellAds since day one…

I've been with BuySellAds since day one and have no complaints. With Optimize, you get non-intrusive ads while having a regular income stream, what more can you ask for?

Other than the ups and downs of Google's algorithm, earnings have been consistent and on time. I'm always keen to try out their new ideas and programs. Some work well, some don't, but they always seem to be working hard to try and make more revenue for publishers, I'll always appreciate that.

Buysellads is much better than most of the other header bidding ad networks

The two things that a publisher is mostly worried about while using a header bidding ad network are: revenue, and site performance in terms of user experience and site loading speed. After thoroughly testing BSA ads I found that, first of all it had virtually no effect on my site loading speed. Even Google page speed insights could not detect BSA ads at all, indicating its minimal impact on site loading speed. The revenue generated by BSA was also good, and I could see at least a 20% boost in my overall ad income. So, as a publisher my experience with BSA is very good and I highly recommend BSA to all medium and large publishers, it is a must try if your site meets all the minimum requirements of BSA terms.

"A great platform, would benefit from conversion data"

What do you like best about BuySellAds?

The platform itself is great, and provides useful insight into how the ads are performing. Click and impression data are beneficial and gives us a good idea of the ad performance, and the ability to change creatives throughout the campaign proved useful as we decided to pivot to a new approach part way through.

What do you dislike about BuySellAds?

The lack of conversion data. I feel this would be massively useful, as it's something that would give us clarity on the performance of the campaign where UTM tracking has let us down in the past.

Recommendations to others considering BuySellAds:

Be wary of the fact you may need to pay for your ads upfront, which in a bigger organisation may delay the starting process of your ads.

What problems is BuySellAds solving and how is that benefiting you?

It was part experiment, part campaign. We used it as an opportunity to test how our business performed in front of seasoned developers to give us more insight into how we are positioned in the market.

"Good team, lots of options"

What do you like best about BuySellAds?

Multiple different options for where to run ads, and a great team to help get them up and running quickly.

What do you dislike about BuySellAds?

Since ad space is purchased from many different sources, reporting on spend/clicks, etc is usually not consolidated into a single dashboard.

What problems is BuySellAds solving and how is that benefiting you?

Needed a way to quickly test new types of ad placements.
