1. An advertiser’s right to know where its ads are shown. It is nonsense to pay for ad space without knowing where an ad will appear; sites vary too much in user quality and context. Even for “blind buys,” advertisers need enough information to determine whether a given site qualifies to show an ad. Anything less undermines accountability—inviting fraudulent sites that devour advertisers’ budgets. And with all manner of fraud—from spyware pop-ups to invisible banners to adult sites slipping into networks that claim to be brand-friendly—advertisers need to be wary.
2. An advertiser’s right to meaningful, itemized billing. Clear records protect advertisers from accounting games. Otherwise, ad networks can claim “We already credited you for those clicks,” knowing that advertisers cannot prove otherwise. But some ad networks provide invoices that are opaque at best.
3. An advertiser’s right to use its data as it sees fit. Campaign configuration details (such as keywords and targeting) are an advertiser’s own creation, to be retrieved whenever and however the advertiser chooses. Same for records of campaign performance. Yet some ad networks impede data portability in an attempt to increase their share of advertisers’ spending. Such restrictions can lock advertisers into needlessly expensive ad platforms—sharply increasing advertising costs.
4. An advertiser’s right to enjoy the fruits of its advertising campaigns. When a user clicks an ad, the advertiser pays fair value to reach that user. But in a world of behavioral targeting, a network can later resell that same user to the advertiser’s direct competitor. Click one airline’s ad, and a network may conclude you’re in the market for travel—then show ads for other carriers. That’s a poor value for the advertiser whose spending sparked the targeting.
5. An advertiser’s right to resolve disputes fairly and transparently. Ad networks generally write the contracts that govern their dealings with advertisers. Networks often use this drafting power to tilt contracts in their favor—disclaiming promises that ads will appear anywhere in particular, and denying responsibility for fraud, even when they know about it and fail to take action. At face value, these contracts purport to grant networks effective immunity from advertisers’ complaints. But advertisers don’t accept such one-sided provisions in other procurement contexts, and they need not be so lenient in online ad-buying.

Also, on a side point away from our weekly round-up, our application (formally codename ProjectX) SCars, is in full swing and several components are finished. There is no predicted release date, but we will hopefully provide a run down of what we’re actually programming soon. We are after a few graphic designers to help us with graphics on the application. Please contact me, AndyAtHull, via my forum account for details. Let us crack on.
