I have tried about 10 ad networks, and only one has come good on that front. Last month it made me several $K profit (yes, not massive, but profit nonetheless with no site building or anything required) for doing nothing other than setting up a few campaigns.

I also have started buying direct at source, but there's no disguising the fact there that you are repeat buying an ad, so the site owner knows it must be profitable - then they start advertising the same things, so you're fucked again.

There can't be that many ex media buyers who are poor, unless they are totally clueless.
