[thelist] question about ad sales

[Raditha Dissanayake]

Hello,

Since i signed up only around September i didn't know that payout rates 
were even better earlier.  It's true a lot of non profit ads are being 
displayed most of the time on my site too. However three other companies 
i used in the past showed non profit ads ALL the time :-((

I think it's time i acted on your suggestion in the other message about 
using my own adserver. The good news is that this can be combined with 
adsense.

best regards
