We use Adsdaq and have pretty good results. The teeth whitening stuff is a scam and we tried to remove that and other crap.

We received our first payment and now are awaiting our second larger payment. So far no payment issues but we did have to pull all Adsdaq ads for on night because the whole site was just hanging waiting for them. They do sometimes cause the site to slow.

In terms of earnings. It works well because they fill at whatever price you give them and if they don’t fill it goes on to the secondary ad network. The thing that works well is when you have big traffic surges which for us is 10K visits in a day or more. You actually have higher fill rates on those days vs. Adsense who’s click rates plunge.

Overall, we think it’s ok. The ad serving needs to be better but it gives a steady income based on impressions. We haven’t had any payment issues but we haven’t had much history yet.

Just crossed the threshold with ADSDAQ. Hopefully I won’t have the same issues you had.

It’s been quite awhile since I’ve changed Ad Networks and I’ve always stayed with ADSDAQ since I can set a high CPM and still get a good fill rate. But lately, my websites have been bombarded with weight loss/teeth whitening ads and trust me on what I am going to say right now…they’re scams. I mean seriously? Come on. Not only are they scams but the ads look so ugly. It’s time to move on…

So I decided to switch to Burst (I got accepted in Burst Direct, wuhoo!) and so far the ads look like ads you know what I mean? I’m going to keep Burst for a month and then I’ll decide if I’m going back to ADSDAQ or I’m going to switch again. I’ll also mention several other things why I don’t like ADSDAQ anymore.

* US only ads (IIRC) or at least the Americas. And because of that most of my traffic come = wasted unless I put in a 2nd ad network.
* No alternative.
* The ads have gone down to literally ’shit’ lately.

So it’s time to say goodbye (for now). Sorry ADSDAQ! But please listen to me when I say this, it’s not all about how much we earn in our websites…we also like our users or should I say users > then my website revenues. The more users are satisfied with my websites, the more users will come and then the more ads will be served.

I’ll keep you guys posted about Burst Media in a month or so.

You have had an awful experience with adsdaq. I would say they likely did run out of funds and this is why they delayed your payment. I am still to reach payout there but not I am not as confident that I will get paid. I did know a blogger that got a regular payment there every month no questions asked, but this was several months ago, so perhaps things have went downhill since then.
