first off, I bought about a bunch of ADST coin as an investment, I am not sure if this project will succeed but I certainly hope so!
Secondly, as a web/app owner here are a few things I have found, and hopefully this project can solve some of these issue
As the web owner - trying to profit from ads on their site
- Most advertisers won't let you in the front door if you have less than 50k unique visitors a day
- for smaller sites and startups there is really no potential to make any money at all
- little control over what ads are shown
- many many claims from people about not getting their payout or being banned without warning
- no way to list on specific sites
As a web owner trying to promote their business
- very expensive
- very difficult to get approved into the most reputable ones (google)
- requires a lot of practise and tuning to get results
- limited control over what ads and content are displayed
Yes, yes! This are the exact problems that pushed us toward working on Adshares, so:
- no minimums
- full control over displayed ads. You might do whitelisting yourself, but can also select from multiple providers of classification
- payouts after an hour - no problem even if you lost 1h of profits
- less expensive - all fees are transparent
- you own your data so you can compare different providers of ad selection algorithms -> better results
- also your site won' get ban on entire network because of your site/ads content. It is up for individual decision of each network member.
