Topic: [ANN] a-ads.com: Bitcoin advertising network. Advertise now! - page 42. (Read 174743 times)

I begin with my site and I have very few unique visitors.
I have put 2 banners from AAD.
they display advertising but it seems i'm not paid for it.(i think it is the standart advetising from aad)
But if I never get other advertisers...you have displaid ads and I will never be paid.
this is not so with bee-ads...
Am I wrong?

The price is determined by the market. Our money distribution mechanism is roughly explained here: http://blog.anonymousads.com/2014/08/why-am-i-not-paid-for-clicks-what-is.html (reality is a bit more complicated, but the principle is the same). You can see the network-wide charts here: https://a-ads.com/stats (average CPM is ~0.3$ in BTC) but the stats of your particular ad unit may be different.

Please make sure that your ad unit code is available at the particular URL specified upon ad unit creation (you can embed your ad unit to other pages of the same domain too, but it must be present at the specified URL). Also if you disallow Gambling ads then your earnings will be much lower. And it may take about a day (or sometimes more) for your ad unit to get evaluated by our moderators and start generating revenue at full pace.

If you have a quality site with unique traffic but your ad unit earns less than average then please let me know your ad unit ID, I will try to determine the reason and fix it.

Thanks for you question!

what are the cpm rates you are paying I have placed ads on my site but not good earnings. Is your site pay per click or only cpm based.

Hi kopipe, thank you very much for your valuable feedback!

1. We have started a work to improve the self-serve ads.

2. Since we accept Bitcoin only, it is natural that most of our advertisers are bitcoin-related. Perhaps we should find a way to accept USD and that would attract traditional advertisers.

3. Ranks and categories are being chosen by our advertisers.

The problem with your ad unit was that it was not embedded on the URL specified upon ad unit creation. That was the reason why it hasn't been evaluated and categorized by our moderators.

I changed the URL to http://8ch.net/b/ and I expect that your income will increase and that your site will appear in the catalog (and yes, I agree that it is difficult to find good sites there, we need to solve it somehow).

Thanks again for your kind words and constructive criticism.

Hello,

I am the creator of the 8ch.net ad unit ( #65532 : https://a-ads.com/ad_units/65532 )

We've gotten an okay payout in the last while it's been up (I think it's been about a month?) considering I only stuck it on a few boards, and the only high traffic one being /b/. (~0.07BTC so far)

I have some ideas and criticisms.

First, you should make it more obvious how to buy self-serve ads like the old BitAds site, so if an advertiser wants to place ad just on 8chan he can do so easily.

Second, way too many of the ads are Bitcoin related. 8chan isn't a Bitcoin site, I doubt most users are interested. Should look into getting more general purpose ads (like porn ).

Third, I go into "Catalog" and can't find my site in there easily. It's not in "Community sites" or "Unknown" so far as I can tell. How are these ranked and chosen? I doubt that some of these ones at the top of "Community sites" are more popular than 8chan, no offense. The catalog is very discouraging as most of the listed sites look like scams or just for SEO. You should more prominently feature the sites that make up large percentages of network traffic.

Overall it's a nice service but could use some polishing. I think it could have a much broader appeal if you work on it a bit more. I'll probably keep the ad up for a bit longer, I have someone else interested in placing banner on the /b/ board though so I'll see how that pans out.

I changed the URLs for your ad units, let's see if it solves your problem.

Oh! thanks! so this is my error!
can you somehow edit my ad address to change it to .net domain?
Or do I have to create new ones?

Oh, I just noticed that your ad unit has a different domain name (you said your site is located at faucet.dsgnrt.net but your ad unit has URL faucet.dsgnrt.com )!

As I said,


I am not sure why it registered a unique impression when I visited it from one of my servers though. Probably your ad unit is being treated as anonymous since our bot can't locate it on the specified URL.

I just visited your ad unit from one of my servers and a minute later noticed a unique impression (see https://a-ads.com/ad_units/67819/stats). So it really works.

Btw, you have several ad units on the same page. If some globally-unique visitor comes to your site, only one of your ad units (the one that loads first) will receive a unique impression.

I am sorry, we don't have pay per click option since it is trivial to fake clicks (and for us it is virtually impossible to realiably distinguish them from real ones).

If your ad units don't generate unique impressions, we display only affiliate ads on them. So if those clicks lead to real sales or other actions useful for our advertisers then you will get affiliate rewards from them. In the long run for the publishers that generate quality traffic it could be much more profitable than pay-per-click or pay-per-impression model.

thank you for you answer.
I believe I should at least get a few clicks. I have send a link to person not knowing anything about bitcoin etc. so I suppose he did not see any a-ads before. But I did not get any unique impressions...
How can I apply to change the payout into clicks?

When visitors see your site with a-ads banner, does your site domain name always match the one specified for ad unit? If not then that could be a reason why they are not counted as unique.

Your unique/non-unique ratio for clicks is much better than for impressions though. Probably all your visitors come from the sites that have a-ads banner on it. Some of them didn't click on those sites though but clicked on yours, thus you got unique clicks but not impressions.

If you don't generate unique impressions then we display affiliate ads that may generate revenue to you (here is the list of such campaigns: http://a-ads.com/campaigns/affiliate). E. g. if your ad unit attracts an advertiser to a-ads then you get half of our fees from that advertiser.

Hi, I also got a reply from you on gmail, but it doesnt help.

My traffic is mainly from posting the link to faucet on a few bitcointalk threads, few other forums, and some from reffering the link. I have also registred a few faucet rotators that have added my faucet.
I get it that from rotators and some forums I shouldnt get unique impressions as they use a-ads too. But I should get at least a few of them, because not every single person comes from these sites. I can try posting a link to the site to a friend that never used bitcoin, or bitcoin related site, and see if this will generate traffic?

Hi!

Thanks for your question.

Google Analytics counts uniqueness in the scope of your site, but a-ads counts unique IPs in the scope of the whole advertising network.

Average unique/non-unique ratio is about 1:60 currently. But your site generates thousands of non-unique impressions without any unique ones. That is not normal (unless you generate them by refreshing your page). Where does your traffic come from?

Hey, anyone knows why I am getting 0 unique impressions? http://faucet.dsgnrt.net/

I have over 500 impressions, but 0 unique ones...
Google analytics shows large numbers of unique impressions

It could be an app or a browser extension or an ad unit that generates traffic from many different sites, e. g. https://a-ads.com/ad_units/67520

We have no idea how it generates traffic so it is up to advertisers to allow or disallow such ad units (there is an option "Use anonymous traffic" in the campaigns' targeting settings). Also advertisers can manually exclude particular ad units from their campaigns.

Noted. What is a adunit without a site like?

Changed my quality range to 0.36 to 1.00.

Thanks for your question. Quality is the attribute of publishers' ad units as evaluated by our moderators. It is pretty subjective and not very accurate, but it enables advertisers to filter out low quality sites. Please note that only ad units of type "Site" are being evaluated (ad units without a site get a default value of 0.25).

I created a campaign and noticed there is quality range. How is the quality range calculated?

ill pm you a few places.

vpns are also used widely.

Wow, interesting. Could you please point me to such places? We serve ads to ~900K unique IPs daily, I am really curious how many of them come from bots.

Amount of unique IPs is limited and impressions is not the only thing that affects publishers' income:
- our moderators evaluate quality of publishers' sites
- advertisers can ban inefficient traffic sources
- advertisers use catalogue filters and search to pick up the traffic sources they like
- advertisers can use CPA or revenue sharing model

We plan to further improve our money distribution algorithms in favour of legit publishers so your feedback is much appreciated.
