Personal experience with Setupad:
Recently, Our Code World became a Setupad client and i must say, that i'm quite satisfied and impressed with the results. Initially, I replaced 2 existing ad units 336x280 with Google Adsense and a self-serve buysellads, generating respectively $148 and $50 ($198 per month). Once i switched to Setupad, i replaced both units and the earning increased to $640, which means my ad revenue increased by almost 220%. I can say I made the right decision and definitely recommend Setupad.
