Wow, that is one kick-ass concept, that really looks like it will eliminate a lot of work.. I hope it’s not just available to the US only.

Rubicon looks great. I definitely could use something that helps me optimize my ads so that I can make the most possible.

I saw a similar service called pubmatic on that techcrunch40 thing, but I wasnt all that impressed. Maybe I’ll try this one out

This sounds good. Does it also look at content at all (or would it only scrape if the ad they recommend scrapes)? It seems adsense could easily add functionality for region/demographics. It seems the benifit is that they would optimize different ads from different groups.

This looks awsome. Have you looked at Atlas and if so how do you think it compares. I currently use Altas but recently its been bought out by Microsoft so obviosuly I am wanting to migrate! Are there any easy ways to import existing campaigns, also do you have some info on their CPC commisions. Cheers.

Looks phenomenal! Certainly would put any user into another gear for their site. Only, the name, rubicon . . . A rube is an olde term for a sucker, whom would be the victim of a con. Hmmm.

Does anyone know of any requirements for the private beta? Anyone else in on it?

Wow that looks great, thanks for the news Jeremy. I am wondering if the guys there have any plans to integrate some support for streaming media advertising in the future, or if at least the way it is built it can be made to work later?

Very interesting product. first i ahve heard of one of these all in one setups close to full launch.. the interface looks slick.

How much money went into the development of this? Im sure he wont give you a straight answer, but it would be interesting to know what kind of man hours + Machinery is backing this up. Looks like it will definitely blow up, from the screen shots it looks very intimidating though, how easy is it to use?

The site looks very well organised. I would really like to profile and review the site on my website. Can someone please send me an invite to the private beta!

I’m concerned about how Rubicon can track your performance on these networks. If it’s anonymous that’s ok but I would like to see a privacy statement to see what they’re tracking.

How will they use the data that they track? If they are seeing that you are making x amount of dollars to get money out of say CJ for a certain product, and then they are telling everyone else using the service to start promoting the same product, then won’t that just dilute your earnings? It seems that in order for them to be most effective that the high earners would be giving up all their stats, and the stats tracking itself is one of the ways the high earners keep making money and the low earners don’t.

It’s nice to see all the features in one place. This sort of thing is going to make management of all your programs easier.

This good be an interesting service but privacy issues abound. It will save time by not having to login at every afilliate and advertising provider. But do I really want everyone to know all my stats!

Do they allow for directly sold banners? I currently use .htaccess to direct IP traffic and this looks alot easier, so I’ll be crossing my fingers for a beta invite.

Shallow comment here, but as a designer…I love their logo. GG!

I’m waiting for this kinda program for a long time…… Thanks for the info Jeremy.

This looks awsome. Have you looked at Atlas and if so how do you think it compares.This sort of thing is going to make management of all your programs easier.

Thanks.

Wow, what a great service. They really found a needed gap in the market, great service and it looks great to use. It would be good if you could manage direct advertisers also, then you could just use Rubicon for literally everything, are Rubicon going to do this?

It looks great, I would use something like this. Keeping it tied into all the different networks api’s or however they plan to access tracking, seems like a nightmare. Good luck to them!

I’m one of the founders and the CEO of the Rubicon Project. On behalf of our entire team, I’d like to thank everyone for all of your kind words and interest! We’re very excited! Our team has been working night and day to bring this all together.

Also, if you want a sneak peek at the full functionality, we have put a demo on our site (just click on “Watch a 3-minute demo”)

Thank you!

Currently, the system doesn’t allow you to upload direct campaigns. However, you can continue to use your existing ad server for that and insert the Rubicon Project in as the default, unsold remnant ad campaign.

Wow! Just Wow. I’ll be joining this program for sure. Should be interesting to see how well it does.

Thanks for the tip Shoe!

This looks really professional. Did I understand correctly that this would be free? When will they be launching it officially? The only thing that puts me off is having a middleman collect my fees. This could cause lots of complications - especially if they decided to hang onto people’s cash for a while to make a heap of interest.

Damn, that looks like an amazing service - I have never seen all those features in one place, looks awesome!

I asked the same question to myself unti lyou answered it, how they make money. It’ll be interesting as there are open source ad rotating options out there but this is certainly more complex than those… definitely worth seeing.

Looks like a great concept.
I would really like to play with it.

looks like they spent a fortune in its creation. Looks like it has potential.

Wow, looks amazing

Hi..sounds cool! I signed up for beta. I was wondering if they were going to be including the clickbank affiliate network. I sell my info products on there.

Thanks for letting us know, Shoemoney!

I didn’t notice Amazon in the available advertisers. Are they going to support Amazon.co.uk/.de/.com/.ca etc> ?

I guess the best aspect of this system is that we can see which ad services sould receive our “prime” locations on the websites. It will probably take some trial and error, but to have it all on one page definitely makes sense (beats clicking through 5 or 6 other websites for states).

This looks really good. I signed up for the beta.

One word: awesome!

Looks great. At least I have another alternative for making money on my websites and hoping it will be better than the rest.

Off topic … Shoe, what happened to the website ? It’s so fast, it’s scary

Now THAT is the way to manage your ads. I wonder how it will do.

Hey Jeremy,

Cool resource!

Cheers,

WOW !!!
This will gain massive popularity soon, who will not be interested to increase therevenue and this can also make split testing easy like anything … just wondering how will they earn .. ?
What if they start charging a good amount once people are used to it ?

Who are the stakeholders ?
Whats their revenue model ?
What happens to users if they go away ?
Looks pretty, but what is it really ?

Thx

There is such a thing of using too many ad networks, but i am very impressed will all the tie ins Rubicon has.

Another question which comes to my mind is that will we have to sign up for a new account for ad sense …
If no how will they consolidate the money from adsense ?
If yes how will they solve the issue of multiple accounts of same person ?
What about the risc factors involved?

Is this just an option to OpenAds?

I am reading mixed reviews all over the web. Though I think this will be a great tool, it will be upto their marketing blitz for this to catch on like fire.

I do have an important question that I’d love to get answer to. There is another free program called PubMat that Rubicon is no longer only option.
do you know it? Which are the differences? Rubicon seems more better.
Let keep the debate on.

i don’t think its viable for small bloggers like us … small businees and up who can afford it perhaps?

still the features available will make any webmaster monetizing plans easier

Shoe,

Have you really used this? It looks great but have you stress tested it with your sites?

Looks pretty good, but still it would be great to hear from people who already employed this and get any results. Still it looks like it worths getting a try! Thanks for the hint, Shoe!

Im on it.

[...] Check out all these Advertising networks I selected from there huge list. You might recognize a few contextual advertisers like Google Adsense and Yahoo Publisher Network. Or some of the top CPC networks like Chitika… or Affiliate networks like Commission Junction and CPA Empire… Or CPM like Tribal Fusion. Yea… they have a TON of networks that are already integrated.

This has already been implemented in http://www.adsdaq.com I am using it, and it is pretty nice. Doesn’t look as easy as rubicon tho. Plus adsdaq has their own advertisement solutions. Forget waiting for rubicon when adsdaq already does this and more!
