  • #15 AND SOUTH AFRICANS ARE NOT FAR BEHIND!
  • #32 By agreeing a success fee for Predefined ActionsThe advertiser mitigates riskThe publisher increases their advertising value
  • #35 Complex to negotiate effective one-to-one media buys with long tail sites. Individually some don’t have enough traffic to warrant the effort!Publishers of these sites cannot value their community on a CPM basis
