For Sale By Publisher: Cutting Out The Internet Middleman
So there’s a new site listing all the sites that sell advertising directly, instead of using ad networks. It seems like a great idea with this new trend of webmasters handling their own advertising.
It’s like a FSBO for web estate.
But do you notice anything ironic about the site?
They monetize the site using Google Adsense!
Isn’t it ironic, don’t you think?

Yet I keep wonder who really click on adsense ads … except “friends”
Hello and thanks for the post, and yes it is ironic!
As I said in my blog post, direct ad sales is not meant to replace ad network (at least not immediately). For new sites especially ad networks can be a good way to make money while you’re building up subscribers and visit statistics, to entice advertisers to your site.
We’ve had a few advertising inquires so hopefully soon you’ll be seeing some direct from advertiser ads
Thanks for stopping by, best of luck with the site!

The site really does fill a purpose online now – and I hope it is adopted by more webmasters in the days/months ahead. I don’t think there is anything wrong with using AdSense to monetize the site since it is a useful product. Mubashar needs to make revenue somehow!
Well…they have to start making money somehow.
I never believed in using a middle man to broker the deal, the whole point of selling something is to MAKE money, not to pass it around.
