Still waiting for option to add "You ad here" link on my website.

You can always just manually add it. Below the ad code, add:

Your ad here!

There's no need for them to add the functionality when you can do it yourself, :p.

Yea, but for an unregistered user on mellowads this is pointless right now. Everything is behind login page.

Exactly. We will be adding this functionality (and it will be easily customizable) once we have the public ad space pages done. We are working on this at the moment, which is why you are seeing changes being made to those pages. Initially however, you will still need to register/login to be able to start a campaign - but in the next development cycle we hope to add the ability to start campaigns without pre-registering - so it will be a lot quicker/simpler for new advertisers to come on board.

This is now available on the system

1) Advertisers can now browse the network ad spaces list without being signed in first (but for now they won't be able to start a campaign, until they register/sign in)
2) You can now add a link to your ad space page. Go to Publish > My ad spaces on the menu at the top and then Get HTML Code for each of your ad spaces and you will now see an option to add a link to the code.

I just realize the withdrawal fee are 50.000 satoshis..
Any plan to lower the fees?

I believe this is in response to the blockchain attacks (which are basically forcing people to pay more in fees to get transactions through). So until that lays off, I think we're stuck with it how it is.

This is correct. We have been advised by our provider (block.io) that due to the recent blockchain attacks we are recommended to pay a transaction fee of 0.0005 BTC to ensure high priority, i.e. quick confirmation. Anything less than this and there are likely to be delays in the withdrawal.
We will of course reduce this back down, if and when it is advised that this is ok.

Would it be possible to set a variable fee and let the user choose? This may help as a better option. That way those that aren't in a hurry can pay the 0.0001, and those that need it now can go with 0.0005+.

This is on our development to do list, but is fairly low down on the priorities at the moment.

Completely understand -- it's good to know it's on the list, though!

CPC-wise, have you considered doing it like another person had asked earlier (pooling all CPC-enabled spaces together like you do for network ads, rather than making each advertiser choose specific slots)?

It would be sweet if you had CPC network ads by default instead of waiting for someone to purchase the CPC slot, any plans to add this?

We had this exact same functionality but noone ever used it. Yes we were small (only 0.5 million views network), but still it was a great value/efficiency. Let's hope we see Mellowads implement it too as it's a very powerful type of campaign, with their size you can get your campaign finished in minutes and this format will probably become very popular one day.

I totally agree and it's discouraging waiting and waiting for people to rent your CPC/CPM space when instead CPC network ads would be a lot more useful

I actually like it how it is. The issue with CPC from a publisher perspective is that if you're not doing anything shady, you, as the publisher, have no control over whether or not a user clicks on an ad. A perfect ad on a bad website will get clicks. A bad ad on a perfect website won't. Essentially, what you're asking for is to completely remove the publisher's control over quality (where CPM is based on the publisher's ability to obtain and retain visitors), and instead base both the value AND the control on the advertiser. There's a reason why none of the top networks use a CPC model -- because no publisher with self-worth would ever join them.

You seem to be talking about CPC in general, not about network CPC campaigns. They don't force anyone to click on an ad, as you said a bad ad won't get much clicks anyway and a good ad will. Network CPC just allow you to advertise based on CPC at more sites at the same time, without having to create a separate campaign for each of them. And when you say top networks which do you mean? Adsense wouldn't be what they are if they didn't use CPC.

I don't know of any major site that uses AdSense. They're only useful up until you get exclusive invites, after which your earnings there are little to nothing. i.e., AdSense will never match the $80-120 CPM ($80-120 per 1000 VIEWS, so if a person viewed 500 pages, that's $40-60) you can get with a real network.

And I think I get what you're talking about now. You don't mean forcing everyone to take part, or making it the default, but rather pooling all CPC-enabled sites together (much like the network-wide ads work). I can see that working for those that want it, but I don't think it should be a default.

Exactly my point, network CPC ads are essential!

The way mellowads runs now only benefits advertisers but publishers make jack shit

That's a completely different issue, though. And I agree, they really should get it to where all information is public. Technically, they don't even need accounts for advertisers -- they could run it like A-Ads, just allowing people to add their banner, choose how to advertise, and then submit their payments.
