I've not received a payment from Anon Ads since October 24th - 143Jgi4ycmHG3AUNEFTaWWTWXtAdMKNTpu - Has traffic just died off?

Thanks for your message! Are you talking about this https://anonymousads.com/site/615 ? I don't see any harm from it, except flooding the database. It is easy to remove records with health 0% from the database, and also there is some implicit limitation on amount of affiliates on the page. Frankly speaking I don't quite understand what's the incentive to register sites like that. Is there any except vandalism? 
Yes, that's the one. And yes, that's just for vandalism I guess, lots of people do that on Wikipedia, why not elsewhere too 
. Or maybe experimenting how the site copes with this kind of situation... November 15, 2012, 04:13:25 AM
With this "no account, open access for all" concept came a new kind of spam: some @$$**** spammed a bunch of accounts with a link to bit.ly/U0abCg (NB: don't visit, might crash your browser, although the link I put here is just the bit.ly stat page, which is safe). Any way to remove this?

Sorry for the downtime, I am working to resolve the issue.
Wow.. it took me about a week to fix it. Should be more responsive now.

I wonder if the profits from showing the banners will ever sync with the main server once it comes back up...
EDIT: looks like it is up, just very slow, to the point that half of the time the connection drops before the page is served.

Looking forward to testing this once the site comes back online.

Very strange, anonymousads.com website is down but banners work fine. Do you have 2 servers?
Most likely:anonymousads.com => 78.47.172.10
ad.anonymousads.com => 78.47.125.166

I removed site weights. Affiliates will be rewarded in proportion to *( + 1).
Might be a bit biased in favor of those who give an incentive to click, and a lot in favor of those with a higher number of visits (basically, this is equivalent to Nvisits^2*CTR with a twist to avoid CTR=0). Also, why only 7 days? (which basically increases variability)How about something like Nvisits*sqrt(CTR*100) over last 30 days? (with still a twist to avoid CTR=0)
Thanks! You are right, too much bias towards large sites. NVisits^2 is not good.
I increased the period to 30 days and replaced the formula with just
I think the system needs some bias in favor of clicks since some affiliates put banners at places that almost never get clicked, that is not good for advertisers.
Clicks without a reasonable amount of impressions are not counted as qualified anyway, so shouldn't be that a huge favor for sites that give incentive to click.

Great to know you're working on a new version of AA. It would be a bit sad to see one of the first Bitcoin-driven advertising networks, with some interesting features, be left behind newer ones with more conservative approaches that are made to work right for big websites/rich advertisers, while almost leaving out the smaller ones.

Please note that and are filtered according to some internal criteria. Globally unique IPs and reasonable CTRs are rewarded. Those earnings will be still shown as "Earned from sites:" on affiliates' page (even though they are not related to sites anymore).
I hope I didn't mess anything, let's see how it works.
This is still a temporary solution, I work on AA2 that will introduce major changes and replace this logic too.

The news I'd like to hear about the weights, is that they become proportional to the affiliate's number of impressions and clicks, and not just some fixed number.
