ha no thanks. I guess blacklabel ads never expected someone with too much time on their hands to go through and look at all the sites that are stealing my pennies

Really 99% of blacklabel ads sites in my CPM campaign are total shit. Either they are in some foreign language even though I selected United States in my targeting or they are essentially the SAME WEBSITE. There are a few traffic skrews I've been picking up on. #1 Is that a site will have multiple blacklabel ads placements so basically you're getting AT LEAST double billed if not quadruple on some to have your ad appear on the same page. I notice that when I'm clicking PAUSE on them they'll be listed more than once if not a dozen times... #2. the majority of these sites all load the same content, they are just skins with some nasty xvideo content that is stuff that I'd think would be illegal, simulated rape, etc. #3. pretty much all of them have pop unders / and so many ads on them running a CPM campaign is worthless. #4. Nearly all of them are tube/video sites that link to the SAME content on another site or load it in frame. I think the ones that actually load the content on their page and don't redirect the surfer might be ok to keep advertisement on provided its legal content, but I have no way to tell. #5. despite there being 100s of sites BL will run my ad predominately on 1 site that is like a camelporn and it'll take up most of my daily budget before I can hit Pause.

There are definitely decent sites that use BLA, but I'd suggest advertising specifically on those sites rather than a broad approach and then hitting pause on ones that don't conform to your standards (as they suggest :cast a wide net and then real it in)
