Burst's support must have gone way downhill. I've been trying to get in touch with them for the past month about my account--two emails and two voicemails have gone unanswered for weeks. I am seriously considering a road trip to Burlington at this point.

BURST! Media is considered one of the premier targeted outsourced advertisement network for speciality content websites with moderate traffic. The rates are not the best in the industry considering their 50% share. However, their ad serving technology combined with their experience in the industry will surely benefit any publisher in their network.

Rating:

This is a class operation, which pays on time as promised and really pounds the pavement to sell your ad space.

Burst Media’s offers do not match up to those of its newer competitors, but it does offer the security of a long-running, well-established site. Its targeted ad campaigns through Burst Network are suitable mainly for publishers who would like to make long, exclusive agreements; the declining payment rates that serve as penalties for not doing so make this network unattractive to other users, who might instead consider using Burst Direct. Still a fairly major network, Burst Media is a steady option to publishers, but many other ad networks do offer bigger revenue percentages and more convenient signup processes.

Was not at all impressed. Late payments, no customer service to speak of, horrible experience. Then moved to Flycast.com's service and am now very satisfied.

Burst Media necessitates 20,000 page views monthly. What possibly prevents this mid-level advertising publisher from hitting the big time are some of the kinks in the company’s system. The complex reports and integration process, coupled with lackluster customer service are some of the hindrances they, and their clients, currently encounter.

One of the best CPM networks. Rates are based on the level of targeting and range from $0.15 to $0.35 CPM for top 468x60 banner. They also have combined banner/pop-up campaigns that pay much more. You have option to send default impressions to another CPM or CPC network.
