It does, it's funny I haven't used them for quite some time but I always hate to see networks that were once good to me go. They had a good thing going for a while.

Where's my money, Kysersoze? Oh, wait... my mistake.

Hehehe, guess it's the other Kyser.

I'm surprised no one is buying out their network and they're just shutting it down.

**GTS Mark** · 02-18-2011, 10:06 AM

Wow that sucks, they were around for quite a while as i remember?

If anyone is looking for a new place to sell their traffic, please give me a shout. We have a lot of hungry media buyers looking for exposure.

Yeah who knows what internal issues they may have, seems like a waste to just let it go without even selling.

Perhaps they decided it was cheaper to shut it down than to settle with someone over IP infringement... just a guess... I don't know these guys at all, but there are lots of suits going around the ad network world right now because someone holds a patent on a lot of the process.

**domainguy** · 02-18-2011, 01:12 PM

Or maybe their owner, Tech norati Media doesn't want the world to know how much porn they do, if they're looking for an IPO.

I have been using them for years both to sell and buy ads and they always worked fine as far as sending me traffic and my payments. I really can't understand why they are closing down and not selling insted. They have 1000's of webmasters and 1000's of customers. I'm totally baffled by their decision. Can any shed some light on this?

**GTS Mark** · 02-18-2011, 03:25 PM

If adengage is reading this and is looking to sell. Pls contact me

**SwirlsGirl** · 02-18-2011, 03:43 PM

disturbing to hear, they have been around for sometime.

You mean the industry no longer has an influx of newbies willing to spend $600.00 bucks a week on 99% china traffic that is marketed as 80% USA google search engine traffic?

**seeandsee** · 02-18-2011, 03:58 PM

they did a tube spree at start with aff and then all burst?

**kada** · 02-18-2011, 03:59 PM

You know this is a good point. I made money with them as a publisher but when I tried to advertise through them the traffic was horrible.

**HomerSimpson** · 02-18-2011, 06:21 PM

there goes my $18.63 earned in 2007 but not paid to date

**SomeCreep** · 02-18-2011, 10:25 PM

When I ran ads on AdEngage all they were good for was sucking money out of my account with shit traffic. I was totally a traffic buying noob that got sucked in that trap

Seems like it was an awesome network for scheming publishers though...

A new hope!

**domainguy** · 06-16-2011, 10:02 AM

They're back. They also may be letting some of the old publishers use their "old code" implementation - http://support.adengage.com Interesting.

Is this a good network for adult sites ? I am currently using Black Label Ads.
They have the best CPM for me.

They are ok but its quite troublesome recieving checks, I'd rather get paid online, its a lot less hassle.

Check my sig if you're looking for a better adult ad network.
