Topic: [ANN] a-ads.com: Bitcoin advertising network. Advertise now! - page 47. (Read 174690 times)

There's nothing wrong with saying this publicly, but it's not good to say that to someone. Get what I mean?

Considering the number of malicious ads I've seen popping up, I'm honestly happy to see them saying this publicly.

Also most faucets, including my own wouldn't exist without a-ads and I'm more than happy to support them.

Of course, but It's pretty insulting to say that to someone, you know.

Thanks for your interest!

Traffic price is determined by market (and frankly speaking we are currently interested in a larger number of smaller campaigns to stabilize it).

The only active promotion currently is this one: http://blog.anonymousads.com/2014/08/free-advertising-opportunity.html .

Btw, please make sure you advertise a legit service, if we suspect malicious intent we may ban it anytime without a refund.

Nope. Works fine.

PS: Any discounts for large ad campaigns?

Thanks for your report. It works for me. Which host are you trying to access? Anybody else experiencing this problem?

SSL connection error

Nevermind, it was a problem with my DNS server. Works now.

It's kinda strange it only affects a-ads.com.

Thank you very much for your detailed report!

I see these warnings in my browser's console as well, but the site works for me. Report-only policy shouldn't cause problems, maybe it depends on browser settings...

Will look deeper into it and fix it.

Yes.

It says:


Your server sends this header in response:


I've tried it both in Chromium and Firefox, works in neither.

Thanks for your message. Are you still experiencing it? It works for me.

Looks like the site is broken now: it was unable to load stylesheets and stuff.

yes, dont get me wrong. I really like the concept of both a-ads and adbit. Just a call for attention so the good advertisers dont leave and it all crash!

Thanks for the in-depth explanation and keep up the good work!

very intresting website, ill test it soon on my websites

Thanks for your messages, sorry for late reply.


Thanks! We plan to enable users to see and recover all their deleted objects.


Payouts form adbit coming from a-ads? Interesting. We are not affiliated with adbit or coinUrl, but it doesn't mean they can't use our services. I don't know whether they do it or not.



Thanks for your question. We totally agree with you and do check ads, but sometimes it is not trivial and we don't yet have an automated solution to check whether the site is in the black list (it may appear there after we activate the ad). We will automate it.

Advertising scam is risky with us. According to our TOS, we may ban the ad and seize the funds and sometimes we do it.

However there are many advertisers that look suspicious or even blacklisted, but there is not enough evidence that they are fraudulent. It is hard to decide whether they should be allowed to advertise or not (especially when our publishers' traffic is so much undervalued), so we use "shady" flag to distinguish such ads and they are served only to publishers that are OK with that.

If your ad unit doesn't allow shady ads but does display suspicious sites, or if you notice confirmed scam advertisers, please let us know what are they and we will fix it.

So, summarizing this post, we have the following things in our todo:

- allow users to undelete their objects
- automate checking ads against the blacklist
- allow publishers to ban ads they dislike
- "report this ad" feature

(our todo is much larger, or course)

or let me put it like this, considering the incredible small value of ad money that I can be counted for:-)

If you have big, trustful investors pushing cash into the system, would those businesses like to be associated with illegal, fraudish, activity, which they are supporting, as a 3-rd party by investing money into the system?

I notice that at least 3 of the advertisers in my a-ads slot can be found in the badbitcoin blacklist. And today I had to go out with a member announcement bcs 2xbitco.in placed an ad on my site from adbit.co.

a-ads.com have some ad verification system, but those things are not checked? adbit.co do not have that verification system, but in general, you dont think it is a bit like shooting yourself in the feet considering the bad outcome from it for all involved except for the fraud sites? anonymity for the parts involved is fine, but why approve known fraud sites?

Hi and thank you for your reply!

I am a normal IT person which means I have short attention span:-) I did not check the FAQ before throwing in AD units. So basically, I got some AD spots on my site that just take space since they seems to be taking moeny from the first fetched ad:-) Which means that I have 2 ad spaces that is just free ADs. But they still collect some satoshi and it looks that they will be paid out in the next 48 hours. I just delete them from the a-ads system when they hit the limit.

I deleted one, I had a total of 4 AD spaces on the same siate, before my question here, just for checking if it showed up somewhere, but its small amounts, and forgot the number, so lets just call that one a donation.

I noticed that payouts from adbit is coming in from a-ads so guess it is the same supplier? coinUrl too? I guess I should stay with one a-ads AD spot , and focus to adbit and coinUrl on the other Ad spots, for best results?

Since we don't have javascript in our ad code and don't spy on visitors, we can't reliably distinguish them. That is why we are not pay-per-click or pay-per-impression network and our default metric is different from the one used in AdSense.

By default we count unique impressions that come from globally unique IPs during a day. According to our global stats, ~1.7% of impressions is unique, our average CPM (based on the unique impressions) is ~0.001 btc. Ad units that attract advertisers may earn much more.

On the stats page of your ad unit you can see non-unique impressions too. E. g. your ad unit #39771 generated ~23K non-unique impressions and your ad unit #39751 generated ~2.4K non-unique impressions. Thus you generated ~25K of impressions in total, 471 of them (~1.8%) are unique, a bit better than average.

But your CPM is several times lower than average. Probably that's due to 2 reasons:
1) your ad units are in the "unknown" category (since they are not present at the specified URLs, they were not categorized by our moderators)
2) you disallow shady ads (that is good for your reputation but bad for earnings since some of our paying advertisers are tagged as "shady").

Please note that all ad units automatically participate in our affiliate program and can earn much more if they accidentally attract advertisers to our service. For example, our own ad unit currently earns most of its money this way (see the red line "Goals" in earnings of https://a-ads.com/ad_units/1/stats).
