New ad network - centralize discussions here

[Costello]

We have switched to a new ad network just recently. We're still working out the kinks, please bear with us until we're done

Known issues, which will be addressed by our supplier as soon as possible:
- bottom adverts on mobile are too big
- <please post in this thread if you are getting other issues>

On most ads you will also see a "report ad" button, please click it to report it, obviously. There's no need to report it again on the forums since we'll only tell you to use that report button.

Also, please keep in mind that these ads arent there just for the fun of it. We need revenue to keep servers going, to allow some staff to get (small) payments to keep the site alive, and ... competitions. A big one's coming up real soon, if you've been following the Switch forums you know what I'm talking about.

• Please contact our advertising representatives at Playwire for ad rates, packages and general advertising information.
• All display advertising on our site is managed by Playwire. If you would like to advertise please visit www.playwire.com or email [email protected].

(Mobile) I've had 5 pop ups on this page alone, which jump me to the bottom of the page when blocked. Just to post this I've had to enable an adblock. This is unacceptable.

*Edit SIX back to back popups that lag the entire page.

I’m getting forced redirects on iOS now

I have had this ad pop-up 4 times in the last 10 minutes. (Couldn’t paste link as it had tracking stuff in it)

 

[Costello]

I just reported all the above to the ad network.
Thanks for your reports, this actually helps!

Man, thanks @Costello for all of the hard work you are doing to make this site an enjoyable place to be. Must be quite annoying having all of these messages pop up in your notifications every time you come here. Hopefully this is the end of the full screen pop ups. Have a great day.

okay, I reported that too *sigh*
make sure to post the URL you're getting next time so i can report it too, it usually helps

I honestly think this ad provider is garbage at this point.
Have you considered changing it to a better one?

I have already answered this question several times before in this thread
We actually keep changing, for this exact reason (this is our 3rd in 2 years), but it's still happening.
So we dont have much choice at this point

thanks, this is helpful. You can see in the URL there are a bunch of tags that allow to identify the bad ad source.

The full screen mobile ads are unacceptable

That info is really useful, thanks. /s

I’m getting 3-5 full screen ads and redirects per page now

Too many to grab urls from on mobile I got this one though

[Subtle Demise]

Everyone, stop posting full URLs that start with
walmart-an32.club or other-f71.club.

They expose your plain IP addresses among other information for everyone to see.

I'm not worried about it. The most anyone can get from your ip address is who your isp is and a very very general area where you live.

Okay so I hate to say it..but the url I reported not long ago is now opening 5+ windows at a time

I know you’re trying but the ad network isn’t even reviewing these ads before pushing them

Random redirects are unavoidable but having this many in a row and this bad(opening multiple windows) should never happen if the companies are reviewing ads before pushing them to websites
