AOL ad revenue down big time



doesn't surprise me at all. everyone at AOL seems retarded. They have no idea of their own products.
 
This is great. I'm sure some of it has to do with all the insane restrictions and compliance crap they make you put on your landing page just to get it running. They need to back off all that shit. I'm sure people here still advertise on aol but one of the reasons I don't bother with them anymore is because they require so much compliance shit. You spend more time trying to figure out what needs to be on your page.

If your being legit about it
 
About time...what he said above. They are fucking ANAL when it comes to compliance. They suck.
 
They have no idea of their own products.


This.

Few days ago they sent out a "maintenance email" saying their platform will be down for a few hours. There was no date on it. I replied asking the date and they replied saying "oh, in future we will include the date"

dumbasses.

Also, their Addesk platform is screwed up. I tried a campaign with minimum budget ($400) and the campaign still delivered to like $600+. I emailed them about it and they said don't worry, I won't be charged for it. What a great business model!
 
In order to run at advertising.com you have to know someone internally to even get your account funded. In order to run ads / fund I have to talk to a guy who isn't even supposed to be doing these things.

90% of the time they will read your email and not reply. They won't return calls.

When I first tried to signup it took me 2 months to find someone to accept my money.

The whole department is fucked.
 
The whole company is run by retards. They made bank from rebills and now they are down the tubes.
