Thus giving us the illusion there is an 'open market' and it's 'best price wins.' It's all a set up and an illusion the moment you start shopping for spots. Why would any webmaster attempt to sell a banner spot for $ 500 for 1,500 daily impressions, when other sites sell it for $ 3.00 ? But I'm drifting from the point here.
It's a mix of wishful thinking / jackassery on the part of the webmasters attempting to sell those banner spots. You or I could do that too if we wanted to. You set the price, but Juicy Ads displays the true amount of traffic.
