AdPumb stood by me throughout their integration. This is unlike any other providers including and especially AdMob and FAN. They realized the 2x revenue increase they guaranteed, after which provided me with analytics and reports without fail. Best mediation platform if you are not technically inclined in the field. I am now an expert, thanks to the AdPumb team!!

Good for instances where search campaigns are driving poor overall traffic. Campaigns for awareness work well, and you have pretty good control of how your ads look without having to do too much work. We've used this successfully for law, financial services, and political campaigns effectively. With Twitter banning political ads, and Facebook becoming increasingly strict on their approval guidelines, this may turn into the best alternative. Would not necessarily recommend for ecommerce campaigns, or lead based campaign where keeping cost per conversion down is a primary objective.

Yahoo (Verizon Media)
  • No traffic -- despite a high ROI, the lack of overall spend led to us eventually remove support for the channel from our services.
  • Nothing to differentiate it from other paid platforms -- Gemini didn't particularly offer anything new or novel that made it worth using over Bing and Google.

One of my main pain points with yahoo gemini is that the product is very difficult to use and the UI seems like they took a skeleton of a similar product and made it bare bones functional for the purpose of generating ad spend. It is a huge barrier for new customers and I feel one of the main reasons they have new customers at all is all the free trial dollars they offer.

They were always super helpful during training and demoing and would answer any questions we had. We didn't have a direct account manager, which would have been nice, but I just don't think their size accommodates for that type of set up. They are very knowledgeable and help guide you through a set up for each particular client.

I have used Google AdMob for monetization during my starting days as a publisher. The service they gave was not that great. With Google AdMob, customer support was non existent and my accounts regularly got suspended due to reasons unknown without any prior warning. After much deliberation, i found AdPumb and have never been happier working with a mediation platform. 5 stars!!!

Yahoo Gemini! does stack up well against its competitors in the smaller spending realms. We've never been able to justify the ROI when we try to scale it up to even 10% - 15% of our spend. No, we've found that it's much better as a tangential win than a mainstream channel.
