So you may or may not have heard about the LA company called "The Rubicon Project" who aims to optimize your online ad inventory to produce a higher CPM for unsold ad space within your site. This blog is pretty small, but I decided to give it a shot and was accepted into their Beta. Recently Rubicon went through an update in their control panel, better reporting etc. That is all fine and dandy until it doesn't work right. First of all Rubicon is finally making strides to profit from the ad inventory optimization, they claim on average a 30% improvement of CPM for websites, and to be honest thats probably pretty close, and they will not be taking a 10% cut of revenue for the service - I can live with that.
But here is where things get tricky, they all the sudden stopped reporting since April 13th, and even those numbers are lacking a few bits of network data. But the weirdest part of all was when I went to log into their secure control panel and was redirected to AT&T Wireless 3 times! How in the heck is a secure log in page redirecting to a cellular company? If anyone else uses The Rubicon Project and is having difficulties, please post in the comments. I have attempted to contact Rubicon about the far delayed reporting but apparently my e-mail is "still in the cue". Maybe they are having a flood of questions as to why things just aren't working?
P.S. It sure doesn't seem to stop their ad inventory from showing up on this blog!
