Topic: [ANN] a-ads.com: Bitcoin advertising network. Advertise now! - page 28. (Read 174696 times)

So did you looked into the issue so far? I would like to use it, but this issue keeps me hesitant.

I also think the captcha solution is not very elegant, i dont thing people will solve captchas just to watch an ad, it needs a more elegant solution to filter out clickbots

My solution instead the captcha would be:  Dont count tor exit nodes or other public VPN's as clicks  + tracking cookie + IP list of 24 hour visitors (and delete it after 48 hours to preserve some privacy of users).

It might hurt privacy, but there isnt any other way in accurate advertsing...

I hope i can give you good ideas to improve your service, a-ads is a really good concept

Nice ad network earning from impressions is hot

Hi,

Thanks for your question. Don't worry, your campaign will be funded from your account balance automatically as soon as our moderator activates your ad. Campaign must be topped up manually only if it is not linked to the funded user account. Sorry for the confusing interface.

Hello! I'm new in A-ads and I didn't know that I must fund the campaign, I have two and I want to funds from my balance (I deposited in my account). How can I transfer from my account to a campaign? thanks in advanced.

The stats are not real-time, but it should take minutes (not hours) for them to get updated.

Is the counter in real-time? Or does it take some hours to update the stats?

I recently started testing a-ads as a publisher, I will report my earnings in a few days

Thanks for your feedback. This definitely needs to be fixed/improved.

We are not pay-per-click or pay-per-impression network, these are just the rough estimates. The underlying principle is simple:

1. Advertiser creates an advertising campaign, selects targeting criteria, sets daily budget, deposits funds.

2. Our algorithm spends advertiser's funds on ad units (that fit targeting criteria) with respect to their weights (calculated based on unique impressions and other metrics).

3. Advertiser gets a share of impressions from each ad unit with respect to amount of money spent on it. E. g. if your campaign is responsible for X% of ad unit's earnings then you will get X% of that ad unit's traffic (no matter how much you pay in terms of BTC and how many impressions that ad unit generates).

This explanation is simplified, in reality there are many parameters that make the algorithm too complicated to discuss it here.

However the service is transparent, you can get pretty realistic expectations if you watch the network-wide stats (http://a-ads.com/stats) and stats of other active campaigns (http://a-ads.com/campaigns/). You can also see the stats of each ad unit and the share each advertiser has on it, e. g. https://a-ads.com/ad_units/1/campaigns

I'd advice to start an advertising campaign with small daily budget and gradually increase it if it goes fine. Just make sure you don't set unreasonably high daily budget if your targeting is narrow.

If you can track the performance of your campaign and make server-side HTTP call to reward efficient traffic sources, you might be interested in this offer: http://blog.anonymousads.com/2015/04/receive-free-traffic-pay-after-you-get.html

Yep, and it scales towards infinity, the higher max CPM is the higher the nr of clicks you get.


But the amount of increase is slowing down, so the nr of clicks grows logarithmically in parralel with the max CPM.


It looks like a bug to me, I think you should give more info about your algorithm because it's very hard for advertisers to determine how many clicks they will get.

I would want to host a big impression campaign, but i`m not sure if your service is the best place because it's very hard to estimate my success, and probably others feel the same way.

Fix and improve this issue , and you will get more customers

We are not pay-per-click or pay-per-impression network. It is possible that ad unit sends customers to our advertisers without generating any unique (in terms of our network) impressions or clicks at all. If such an ad unit receives rewards from advertisers that use revenue sharing model then it will have infinite CPM and CPC.

Having said that, I admit that the estimates you show look suspicious. I will investigate it, thanks for reporting!

Alright but then explain this:




So if I put no filter I get only 1000 clicks , but if I let the CPM that costs 600BTC then I get 2500 clicks.

So does this mean that there are campaigns that drain 600BTC / 1000 visitors?



It seems to me like an enormous bug, you should fix this fast.

Thanks for your question. Frankly speaking it is not easy to answer this question, the system is definitely far from being perfect, sorry for this.

Our CPM estimates are based on the globally unique impressions because it is harder to manipulate them (one IP address can't generate more than 1 unique impression per 24 hours in the scope of the whole network). According to our public stats, only ~1 impression out of ~46 is counted as unique (while for impressions this ratio is 1:2).

Some sites generate a lot of non-unique impressions (and unique clicks), but amount of unique impressions is low and thus CPM (as calculated by our system) is high.

By filtering them out you increase the amount of unique impressions you can get for the same money, but it doesn't necessarily mean that amount of non-unique impressions and unique clicks will increase.

Moreover, we have captchas to filter out fake clicks. So if you concentrate your advertising budgets on the cheap traffic sources, you might get a lot of impressions but less clicks.

Looks broken to me

So it's like this



How can I get less clicks , if I disable the very expensive CPM?

Is that feature broken or bugged?

Is the CPM limit good for anything?

Because whenever it's activated, it eats my balance heavily, and I don't get better CMP at all.


I thoght the CPM limit serves as a shield to not pay for ultra costly CMP on certain sites. So if the CMP average is like 0.001/ M , then if I set the CPM limit to 0.005/M i will avoid paying for sites that have like 0.1BTC CPM.

However even if the average is 0.001 BTC, if I set the limit it to like 0.005 , I get massively bad traffic and very expensive.

How does this happen? Any tips?

thank you

Hi, thanks for your question. That is probably due to the lack of the unique traffic. We are not pay-per-click or pay-per-impression network, but when there is no unique traffic, your don't get a share of the advertising budgets. We display free affiliate ads because it is the last resort to monetize your traffic. Affiliate rewards are currently ~4% of all earnings.

AFAIK, only one of your ads (the first one exposed per user to be loaded) will be paied. But there's no restriction to the number of adds you put on a page.
