Does anyone have any experience with Casale? I was recently approved, but am a bit disappointed to find out that all of the campaigns appear to be untargeted RON. Is it worth it?

Short, practical checklist and test plan for evaluating any third‑party ad network after approval. This complements the thread and ties to points raised by and without repeating their posts. Focus on facts you can verify quickly and controls you can demand from the network.

  • Ask the rep what targeting is available (geo, device, contextual, site/category, audience segments) and whether campaigns can be restricted off a run‑of‑network mode.
  • Require details on ad delivery method (iframe vs. script), allowed creative behaviors, and whether the tag may open new windows or modify page navigation.
  • Get reporting cadence and sample logs. Insist on impression-level reporting for an initial test period so you can reconcile revenue and traffic.
  • Put limits in writing: category/creative blacklists, frequency caps, floor CPMs for your placements, and a short rollback clause if UX or metrics degrade.
  • Audit tags before wide rollout: use browser dev tools to list network calls and cookies, and measure page load impact with and without the tag.
  • Check legal/compliance: GDPR/CCPA support, how consent is passed, and payment terms (net30, net45, thresholds).

Small controlled test to tell if it is “worth it”:

  1. Run the network on a small slice of pages (5–10%) for 7–14 days.
  2. Track eCPM, RPM, CTR, bounce rate, page load time, and conversions.
  3. Compare revenue uplift vs. negativeUX signals. If revenue gain is small but UX or load time worsens, negotiate stricter controls or stop.

Final notes: keep changes reversible, log everything, and put a short trial clause in writing. If any unexpected third‑party behavior appears during the test, remove the tag immediately and require the network to fix it before resuming.

Not sure. Never used them. I know when I leave visiting their website it fills my computer with spy ware. So I'll be checking once I leave here. Hope this doesn't happen:)

Hey Dani.. I just found over 30 tracking cookies from Casalemedia after being on this site. There were a few others like tribalfusion and fastclick, but not sure it they came from here. The annoying things are the Casalemedia pop unders. It makes your site look cheap in my opinion. Maybe you're making more money off this but to the regular user it just looks bad. It's nice when I turn off my browser not to have to click off a pile of pop unders, don't you agree? You side ads should be doing the job for you as long as they are paged properly;)

We don't use Casale :)

Sorry... I must have gotten them from somewhere else. Yet I thought I had scanned those out... Oh well, just shows you it's a good idea to scan regularly :P
