You're going to want to subscribe to my RSS feed. It's the greatest thing since sliced bread - even better, in fact. You know you want to.
Their slogan: make mad cash from ads. You’re going to have a lot of angry money.
After a long day of pretending to work, the last thing anyone wants to do is spend hours looking through the twenty ad networks you use (in vain) to monetize your blog. The Rubicon Project feels your pain, and it wants to cure it.
WHAT IS THE RUBICON PROJECT?
The Rubicon Project takes ads from hundreds of different advertising programs (Adsense, YPN, Adbrite, all that good stuff) and automagically optimizes them to do well on your blog. It detects which ads do well and gives them more impressions while rooting out the crappy ads and sending them to time-out so that they can cry in the corner. Things that are factored in to determining how to place ads are location, gender, language spoken, and more. In short, it’s like having your own personal ad managing secretary robot that makes you money.
WHAT’S THE CATCH?
Currently, there is no catch. The system is in beta testing and thus all of this comes at absolutely no cost to you. They will most likely make money by taking a cut of your profit, but since most publishers report a 50% increase in revenue you’ll still feel like an ad tycoon.
OH, AND IT LOOKS GREAT TOO
It’s true. The Rubicon Project is so well made that it’s only compatible with FireFox. Guess all those fancy reports, graphs, and optimization just overwhelm IE. So, if you still live in the stone age… sucks for you! Uh. I mean. I love all my IE viewers too - it’s just that, well, it’s not you. It’s me. And it’s the Rubicon Project. Have a picture of what you’re missing:
Isn’t it beautiful? Just look at that blue map. And the bar things. And the circley thing with two shades of green. That, friends, is what ad programs are all about. That and the money.
So sign up for the Rubicon Project today and make some mad money blogging.

@Wakish: There’s no problem - it’s partnered with Google and they have official contracts and stuff. Don’t worry, it’s all legit.

Only caters to larger customers. I was part of their private beta. I have 2 start-up sites and a blog. The private beta went great…then they went public with a new version and nothing has worked since. Today I cancelled the service. I starting getting automated emails about not completing my set-up when the set-up had areas that were inactive. The customer service guy was great but Rubicon Project as a company clearly works on solving issues for larger sites and leaving the little ones in the dust. I’d have to give Rubicon Project a thumbs down…
