I've been trying to get a sponser for my web site (engage media)but they always turn me down! but i got approved buy a company like them but only smaller and pays less to of course. I've noticted that they show ads from flycast wich is owned buy engage media now i think. This makes no senese to me how can engage media turn me down but another smaller compant approve of my site? I mean engage medias ads are being show on my site with the smaller company.......no matter wich 2 of the companys approve me the same ads are shown engage media told me my site was adult but the other company said it wasnt but at the end engage medias ads end up on my site! i dont get it lol

I was just turned down also by a company for some really stupid reason. They paid 17 cents per click and if you got over a 5 thousand clicks a month you would get a quarter a click. As far as ads from the same company that does happen. They sometimes are nothing more than a "reseller" like some resell from a host. Hope that helps a little

Simple really. To flycast (engage), you are but a small fry, and your content is not acceptable. The other one is using flycast (engage), and you are helping *them* be a big client for flycast. The second company doesn't much care what you have on the site, so long as you get impressions for them, so they look good. They pay you less than what they get themselves (of course, otherwise this all wouldn't work).

If Flycast has set policies about the types of sites they accept, then they might not like what the second company is doing, by the way.

I thought someone said eads was a decent place to start, but you'd have to wait and have some people confirm that.

If you can talk to this company and convince him about the accuracy of your access logs, they could perhaps agree to allow you to display these ads all by yourself.

That would be the ideal way out of this problem you are facing.

Alternatively, you may want to talk to Frank Rietta (who regularly posts in this forum - URL: http://www.rietta.com) to write some code/script for you that counts each click and logs the viewers' I.P. address down and sends it immediately/daily/weekly to your advertiser.
