Wow. Doesn't look good over there.

AdBrite, the online-ad network best known for its quirky founder, FuckedCompany creator Philip "Pud" Kaplan, is hiring an in-house lawyer. This is odd only in that last we heard, the online ad network already had one. Current general counsel Rebecca Eisenberg is just one of several vice presidents leaving the company, according to a tipster. Engineering VP Mike Reaves left in February, a month after HR chief Melissa Vernon. We'd also heard that cofounder Gidon Wise is out the door.

Our source speculates that Paul Levine and Jim Benton may be next to go. The tipster suggests that AdBrite CEO Iggy Fanlo is replacing Benton with a yet-to-be-hired SVP of sales.

This strikes us more than the usual amount of startup churn; when there's money to be made, Valley executives make a habit of sticking around for the payday. There's talk of an AdBrite IPO, but the enthusiasm for online ad networks on Madison Avenue and Wall Street is cooling fast.

Yeah! your old AVN Ads account can be used to login to Black Label Ads. But now you will need to create a new AVN Ads account.

Adbrites network is fucking shit. Ever try to sell a product? Good luck. Half the network is non english websites that they somehow get away with tossing your shit on 90% of the time.

Worst prod ever.

I've tried every niche imaginable. Other marketers agree. It sucks ass cheese.
