    Apperantly they are all over the tech part of the Internet. It seems almost impossible to find a development related site or blog without bumping into one of their ads. Which naturally makes you wonder if they are any good or are just spending lot of cash mindlessly on ads. Does anyone here have any experience with their services?

        No, never heard of them. But then again, I don't pay attention to ads.

        There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

          I have a feeling they are just utilizing cookies very well. You went to their site once, now you get hounded. It's "smart" advertising. Same thing happens if I visit urbanoutfitters.com or american apparel, cabelas, a ton of other retailers. Clear your cookies, don't visit the site, then see if they pop up again.

            I actually don't mind the ads, I'm genuinely interested in their services (Application Performance Management), mainly because I'm familiar with the owner's previous business (Wily). But the myriad of ads I've seen lately had a negative effect, beacuse it makes the impression that they are trying sell stuff with agressive marketing rather than positive feedback from the community.

              It's just ultra targeted- I've never seen an ad for them before.

                Yeah that seems plausible, since I only browse technical sites from this (work) computer, so I'm guessing that's why the ad agencies keep me serving the same stuff.

                  If you're curious, I went to their site earlier, now I'm getting their ads all over the place.
