LoudBids — traffic source: rating and member reviews

LoudBids is an advertising network where advertisers buy traffic and publishers sell it. The company says every source on the platform is either in-house or hand-picked, that its own media buying team tests each one on its own product before buyers see it, and that buyer feedback decides what stays on the platform.

The formats the network lists as the ones it finds most effective are push notifications, banner links and banners with creatives, native clicks, interstitials, chat clicks, email and SMS clicks, member-area clicks, text links, second offer, tab and redirect placements. Publishers are paid on CPM and CPC. Campaign rules rule out malware, auto-downloads, fake system warnings, lockers, obtrusive creatives and ads that misrepresent the page behind the click.

The team describes its background as software development and the dating industry. Advertisers and publishers both start from the sign-up form on the site, and reporting sits on a separate statistics subdomain.
