Ads By Tribalad
You need to be very careful if you discover Ads By Tribalad on your screen. The advertisements that are shown to you with this tag (or similar) are served via Tribaladnetwork, an advertising server that supports unknown publishers and advertisers. These publishers and advertisers pay money to showcase their offers, and a pay-per-click system is set up to make money for every click made. Needless to say, this service is beneficial to both the developer of the server (Statcommerce LLC) and the advertiser using it. Well, is it beneficial to a regular user?
