2. Low clickthrough rate: Since the ads displayed are sometimes not in line with the content, visitors to your site are not likely to click on it.

This causes a few numbers of visitors clicking on the ads. Google Adsense edges Bidvertiser here since they show related ads on their publishers’ websites and have more clickthrough rate.

3. Low CPC. When compared to Adsense it has low a lower CPC. 

4: Poor ads quality. Sometimes the ads displayed can be of low quality considering how they appear. From my experience, sometimes the ads take too long to load on the site.

Bidvertiser Advertisers

Just like many other ad networks, the advertisers do the bidding for ad spaces in this ad network.

The highest bidder is awarded the space on the publisher’s website.

Well, the ads are not displayed in accordance with the site contents. This can mean well for publishers and can also be bad considering the clickthrough rate.

Just like any other popunder ad network, it might not be suitable for content-based websites like tech blogs or websites with information to share as most blog visitors find popunders annoying and may not want to visit the site again. 

The simple reason is that it takes visitors away from the page which will waste time.
