Adversal Review
Adversal is a medium-sized ad network and is one of over a hundred such programs we review on experienced-people.co.uk. Adversal's available ad units include several regular, IAB-compliant banner sizes and pop-unders as well as their less typical "ministitial" advertisements. Ministitial ads are 800x600 overlay ad boxes that work like a hybrid between regular interstitial (or full-page) ads and pop-ups. You can find the network's ad unit sizes demo page here. Additionally, all banner ads can be enriched with special, on-open service effects. This is a small but interesting twist on their otherwise rather typical banner ads. All campaigns are either CPC or CPM with flexible rates that are generated real-time as ads are served. Adversal pays either via PayPal or check on a NET 35 schedule and a minimum payout of $20. The network has a focus on North American audiences; at least half of all traffic must be from North America and most of the inventory is optimized for US and Canadian markets. Their official website is small but helpful. Their support is decent and although they can only be reached directly through the program's account control panel Adversal had the foresight to offer a password retrieval service for customers who lost their passwords so they can access the control panel easily. Online reviews and comments about Adversal are mixed. Most publishers report decent performance overall but many publishers complain about low earnings and per-impression rates as well as sudden drops and unexpected fluctuations in revenue. Apart from the on-open service effects for their banner ads and their dynamically-generated rates there is really nothing outstanding about Adversal. Apart from the potential problems with low earnings and sudden drops in revenue, Adversal seems like a decent, but otherwise unremarkable, ad network.
