I read through the listing of requirements and found that the site I currently have up there isn't going to be a good match. If we're removed, can we make a re-evaluation request at a later date once our site meets all requirements? To me, this would be a huge benefit -- I completely understand why your changes are being made, and I have no qualms with that. I'd just like to know that once we get up to par, we can put in a request somehow (even if this means directly contacting).

Thanks!

But what if the banner you add is NSFW (for example) but the advert isn't marked as such?
This is one of the things that is checked when an advert is approved

We shouldn't be allowed to modify URL of the campaign without requiring approval.. that makes sense but adding another banner should be allowed.

Ok, I have an update on some changes that we have made today!

New website approval process

Background
Currently too much of our time and effort is going into micro-managing and fraud detection on lots of smaller websites/ad spaces that provide very little benefit to advertisers. In addition we have received quite a bit of feedback from advertisers who feel that the quality of the network is degraded by these websites - and this affects their decisions to start network campaigns.

Our solution
To help maintain the high quality of the Mellow Ads network we have decided to implement a manual approval process for all websites that wish to create ad spaces and display Mellow Ads adverts.
This process is detailed at Website approval guidelines . The overriding aim here is to ensure that advertisers are receiving good value for their campaigns.

With immediate effect all new websites added to the system will first need to be approved (following the above guidelines) before they can create ad spaces.
We will also be going through ALL of the existing websites that are in the system and reviewing them over the next few days (weeks!), again following these same guidelines. Unfortunately this is going to mean that a significant number of existing websites will be rejected and their ad spaces removed. In the short term we realize that this is going to be unpopular with some publishers - but we need to take a long term view which benefits both advertisers and high-quality publishers, if Mellow Ads is going to be successful.
Any publishers who find their website rejected will be informed by email of this and the reasons for the rejection. They will still be able to sign in to the system and withdraw any funds held in their account.

Hope I have given enough details about this, but I'm happy to answer any questions either here or you can contact us about anything by email to [email protected]

If coinurl can setup a CPC system that works than I am sure you guys can too seeing how much more advanced mellowads is
You can always create new html codes for the cpc/cpm network campaigns and than have different html codes for just normal network campaigns so the system doesn't have to decide anything it will simply be up to the publisher on which html codes they want to use

CPC price should be set by the advertiser, but I believe a minimum default price should be in effect

Payments are made to your account once per day. There is a minimum withdrawal amount of 0.001 BTC

Sorry about this, the system was down for a few minutes earlier today. Should all be ok now

You can have as many ad spaces on your site as you like, but only 5 will receive money from the network pool each day (the 5 with the most unique views)

As I've said above, we will soon be adding the option for both advertisers and publishers to cancel a CPM or CPC campaign early for whatever reason. Hopefully this will make it possible to achieve what you want.

Currently you can't modify an advert during a campaign as then it would then need to be manually re-approved. AdBit puts all the responsibility for advert approval on the honesty of the advertisers (to comply with publishers restrictions), and the willingness of the publishers to constantly monitor the ads that are being shown in their ad spaces. Any publisher who has used AdBit for a significant amount of time will know that this is quite difficult and time consuming to do. I personally have seen unwanted explicit porn banners pop up in my AdBit spaces several times - which can cause issues not only with my users but also with other ad networks such as Google AdSense.
Also, don't forget that AdBit works on a completely different model - where you are bidding a daily amount against other advertisers. If this model fits better for you then obviously please continue to use their service. We are trying to do something a bit different which fits in better with how we believe it should work. (And also don't forget their higher fees )

This is on our development list, but isn't quite as straightforward as you guys might think.

There are a couple of problems that we are trying to come up with a solution for (without negatively affecting the current system)...

1) How much does a click cost? Each different publishers CPM price or a fixed price set by the advertiser?
The best solution we can think of here is for the advertiser to specify the CPC price they want to pay and then their campaign will only be shown on any publishers web sites that have set a CPC price equal to or lower than this.

2) On each page view, how does the system decide whether to show a CPC campaign advert or a standard network campaign advert?
Currently if there are no direct CPM/CPC campaigns running on an ad space then it just randomly selects one of the network campaigns - weighted random based on how much is being paid per day by the advertiser. Its not obvious how the system should decide to show a CPC network advert instead - especially as this (in most cases - when it results in no click) means the publisher will lose out on the network campaign pool for that view.

We are working through these issues and will hopefully come up with something soon that will work for everyone

We will soon be adding the option for both advertisers and publishers to cancel a CPM or CPC campaign early for whatever reason. The advertiser will then be refunded the cost of any remaining unfulfilled views/clicks. Hopefully this will be available in the next few days.

Hi, sir. I'm just join MellowAds as publisher. I want ask to you. How many minimun withdraw ? Instant payment or Manual payment? Good luck for you

The service is unavailable.

Mellow Ads error!

ERROR: Failed to retrieve space, reason: Unexpected error

Do I get a higher payout if I add more banners on my site?

Cheers

What does number of clicks per site have to do with anything? They get paid per click -- it's simple. If one site gets 10 clicks and one gets 100, the one with 100 will get paid 10x as much. The amount the advertiser pays is the same per click, so they don't care where it's from, as long as it's real.

we should be able to stop/cancel our campaign any time we want or even make changes to the ad associated with the campaign. Adbit.co is still better in this regard.

This is not related in any way. Each site will still be payed the desired CPC. Advertisers could just set a max price per click to avoid expensive sites.

This will not be a good option because every site has their own alexa rank and that is the point why one site is different than the others. You cant rent the whole network for CPC because not every site has the same click amount in one day

I hope yes
I vote for YES.

It'd work just the same as network ads. The only difference is instead of splitting payments among all sites, it would just pay each site based on the # of clicks. So yes, it's doable, and the framework should already be there.
