Support answered inside a day during the AdX approval process and explained the managed inventory model clearly. eCPM went up compared to plain AdSense. Dashboard is basic, so I still open Ad Manager for the real breakdowns.
Filled the form, sent the Ad Manager network code, then silence. After a month I cancelled and got approved with another MCM partner in days. Maybe fine for large networks, not for me.
Signed up with two recipe sites and waited weeks for the MCM invite. Freestar eventually got AdX running, but communication was thin and I had to chase every update. Other partners in this directory approved me far faster.
Turned down because of the 50,000+ pageviews/mo minimum after two weeks of emails, and nobody told me until I followed up. If you are a growing publisher looking for fast AdX approval, look elsewhere first.
AdX approval with Freestar took around 2-4 weeks for two recipe sites, longer than promised. Once the MCM request was accepted everything ran fine, but the waiting and the 50,000+ pageviews/mo requirement will block smaller publishers.
AdX and AdSense demand work, but two invoices arrived late without notice and the revenue report did not match the payment until I asked twice. The 60-70% share only helps if it arrives on time.
Nothing broken, nothing exciting. Reporting refreshes once a day, tickets take two to three days and the 60-70% split is middle of the pack. Fine as a Google Ad Manager route if you are not in a hurry.
