Adify provides an automated ad sales and implementation tool for your site under your brand, and also allows you to run your own ad network using their tools.

Adify provides the tools for a publisher to run their own ad network and have complete control.

Traditionally, as a publisher, you would use a banner serving program and sell your own advertising. You would then need to obtain payment either by invoicing or through credit cards and a merchant account. Then obtain the necessary creatives for the website. A process involving a sales department, account managers, campaign management, finance department and others. Or you could join an advertising network, place code on your website and let the advertising network sell the ad space for you and take care of all the back office tasks. You would then receive a monthly check from the ad network, however you would also lose control of the pricing and types of advertisers, to some extent. You would also pay typically 40% of the advertising sales.

Now with Adify you can use their platform to manage your network, self service purchasing, ad serving, billing, payments and more using their tools. One person can use their system and now replace the traditional ad sales staff and support.
