The site is now live. To deliver qualified advertisement(s) for a given request, the BitcoinAdSmart applies a proprietary Yield Optimization Algorithm to determine the appropriate rank and cost for each advertisement. Our algorithm considers factors such as relevancy, targeting match, keyword match type, qualified filter criteria, historical earnings, current bid amount, and more to determine what advertisement is qualified to be shown, where (rank), and what it should be billed.

The result: Increased revenue for publishers along with increased performance for advertisers.

Your typical ad server delivers advertisements based on pre-selected filters such as Geographical Targeting, Content Channel Matching, Keyword Matching, and/or Date Scheduling.  While these filters are needed and considered a norm, advertisers want, and need, more targeting control.

In today's demanding on-line marketing efforts, advertising relevance has become one of the most important factors for both the advertiser and the publisher.  Advertisers can experience increased traffic from interested, motivated, and highly targeted, visitors, while publishers can enjoy an increase in advertising revenue thanks to the higher click-through rate.

What differentiates BitcoinAdSmart from the simple keyword targeting methods typically found in other advertising products available today is our proprietary contextual targeting engine.  With BitcoinAdSmart, publishers no longer have to manually specify relevant keywords for each page that include ads. Instead, our proprietary contextual targeting engine finds relevant keywords from the page content, matches those keywords to the available ads, and then delivers matching ads.  Combining our proprietary contextual targeting engine with content channels, geographical targeting, and scheduling, advertisers can enjoy an increased volume of conversions.

I think is would be better to remove words "Intelligent Keyword" because they can mislead a customer - in fact you, and no other existing Bitcoin advertising network, offer publisher websites' indexing and matching natural keywords to show relevant ads like Google AdSense.

It requires enormous computing power to perform and only few big corporations like Google, Facebook, Yandex and Microsoft offers this technology. I very much doubt that you have own data center capable handling this scale of load!

We do in fact index publishers sites and provide natural keyword matching. When you have a few thousand indexed pages it's not such a crazy load. The nice thing about the adserver is that it can be scaled onto multiple boxes easily when needed. One server has no problem indexing 50,000 pages. If we begin publishing ads on more then 50,000 pages, we'll add more servers to handle the load.

The Indexing Process

The BitcoinAdSmart engine processes pages based on certain requirements. Some important information regarding this process:
·   Only pages where an ad code has been inserted will be indexed.
·   A page that has ad code inserted is added to a list of pages to be indexed by the BitcoinAdSmart Ad Spider. The background process indexes the provided URL’s later. We do not index pages in real-time when ads are delivered.
·   Pages are indexed in batches and not in real-time.
·   Indexing of new pages typically occurs in five minutes from being discovered, but can take up to 72 hours depending on load.
·   The BitcoinAdSmart engine uses a two stage approach to locate ad matches. At the first stage, a pre-scan occurs before the page has been indexed by the Ad Spider. The second stage occurs after the Ad Spider has indexed the page. Relevancy of the delivered ads improves after the second stage.
·   A page will be re-indexed and re-optimized every 72 hours. If a page is indexed now, and new ads are added to the system with a new set of keywords and phrases after the page has been indexed, it may take up to 72 hours for those ads to appear with the new keyword set provided. This is part of the optimization routine.

To clarify, I don't have a whole data-center but I do have 8 servers, its not hard to co-locate more if profits justify.

Unfortunately I cannot afford the same for CoinURL! :(
Bitcoin adverting is much more cheaper than traditional one, profit margin is negligible small. I can guess that soon you will realize that running costs of these servers (electricity, maintenance, hardware depreciation) exceeds many times amounts that you can earn.

Youve got me wrong I'm running it on one server shared for now, I also do web hosting though. So i do have access to more servers.

Andrew, profits come when you give users a quality product

1# in Quality Bitcoin Advertising

BitcoinAdSmart is the newest Bitcoin advertising service on the block. BitcoinAdSmart officially launched on September 1st 2012. BitcoinAdSmart provides the most fully intuitive bitcoin advertising service available. We use Bitcoin publishers in addition to regular publishers. We accept payment in Bitcoins, Paypal and all sorts of major credit/debit cards. We offer various payout methods to publishers, namely bitcoin and paypal. To provide qualified advertisement(s) for any given request, the BitcoinAdSmart engine applies a proprietary Yield Optimisation Formula to look for the appropriate rank and price for every advertisement. Our formula views factors for  relevancy focusing on match, keyword match type, qualified filter criteria, historic earnings, current bid amount, and much more to determine which advertisement is publisher where, and what it ought to cost. Make the most of our specific advertisements and relevant traffic, become an advertiser or perhaps a bitcoin publisher today!

The end result: Elevated revenue for publishers together with elevated performance for advertisers.

Your typical ad server provides ads according to pre-selected filters for example, Content Funnel Matching, and/or Date Arranging.  While these filters are essential and typical, advertisers want, and need, more focus on control. BitcoinAdSmart is the first bitcoin ad server to provide intelligent keyword driven ad serving.

In present day with demanding on-line marketing efforts, advertising relevance is becoming one of the most important elements for advertisers and also publishers.  Advertisers get elevated traffic from interested, motivated, and highly specific, site visitors. At the same time publishers can also enjoy a rise in advertising revenue because of the greater click-through rate.

What distinguishes BitcoinAdSmart from the simple keyword ad servers who focus on techniques typically present in other advertising items, is our proprietary contextual engine.  With BitcoinAdSmart, publishers no longer need to specify relevant key phrases for every page on which they include advertisements. Rather, our proprietary contextual engine finds relevant key phrases in the page content, matches individuals key phrases with the available advertisements, which provides matching advertisements.  Mixing our proprietary contextual  engine with content channels, GeoIP restriction/inlcusion, and ranking, bitcoin advertisers  along with other advertisers can also enjoy an elevated amount of conversions.

What is your opinion, will profits justify? Right now the ad engine costs little to run, and profits are already more then that :)

my opinion? my opinion is that andrew's post should be preserved for future reference (and amusement).

secondly, it's hard to imagine any bitcoin business (other than something like mtgox) having enough volume yet to justify even 8 servers.

I have 8 servers total, I also run a web hosting business. BitcoinAdSmart is using less then 1 percent of one server right now. What I was saying is that the service is scalable so right now its using 20Mb RAM and 20Mb HD, but when its using 90Gb RAM and 20Tb hard drive it can be scaled easily to handle the load as different modules can be run on different boxes with a load balancer.

Andrew Bitcoiner, you owe me some major payouts... Please get them handled or at least update your bitjack21 thread as to what the hell is going on. Thanks.

Okay so on the TBD list,

Setup SSL

Make Ads Display Correctly on SSL Pages - eta 48 hours * If you are already a publisher and what you ads to show on SSL you have to generate new ad code. Thanks Much  :o

Add Full image no text IAB standard size ads - eta before end of September

Add user guide and best keyword practices documentation - ETA 1 week

Allow Publishers to include multiple content channels in one ad code - eta ?

-------------------


Anybody else have any suggestions?

Alright 5 days after launch,, the network is now up to 200,000 impressions a day with 28 publishers and 45 ads.  ;D

If you don't see your ads for the next 4 hours, don't panic.

BitcoinAdSmart has experienced fantastic growth and is moving to a new server. ETA for completion 10PM

Tentatively back up and running on a dedicated Intel Xeon Sandy Bridge E3-1230 3.2Ghz

suspended again for a moment

Looks like one of the publishers was under DDos attack and it has affected our services, will update.

Okay everything is solved, service has been restored.

Hey. I'm just about to give your network a shot. Is there any promo code I can use? :)

Just signup post your username or number and I'll credit you .1 btc, I'm still working on promo codes with the bitcoin gateway.

"globalbtc"

I have added BitcoinAdSmart to my Bitcoin advertising network comparison table:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=102717.msg1126513#msg1126513

Thanks Giant Dragon!

New Release:

This release updates the password length to 50 characters and handles ssl/non-ssl auto delivery determintation.

I will be adding charts soon.

If you're doing things right (hashing+salting passwords) then there should be no limit on the number of characters or restrictions on what characters can be used, at least as far as I know. Don't tell me you're storing passwords in plaintext ???

LOL

Let me remind you why;

BitcoinAdSmart is down for 2 hours for upgrades to the core software. Sorry about the frequent downtime guys, just didnt expect to have this kind of response and have to adapt to the capacity.

You should make ad loading asynchronous, that your server issues don't affect publisher websites.

You should add this feature to the comparison table. It's very important to have your websites not go down because of a 3rd party service (I still remember when tny.im suffered because of AA's high server load, fortunately Arsen has implemented async and changed to Nginx since then).

Just updated comparison table.

bytedisorder, you must solve this issue as fast as you can! BTW, I was forced to remove your ads from Daily Bitcoins because they completely blocked page load.

http://coinurl.com/img/ads-comparison-5.png

Fixed already.

I am working on making ad loading asynchronous right now.

BitcoinAdSmart Ads do not prevent the loading for the rest of the page. I have tested this on the rest of the publishers by bringing the server down giantdragon.

I have enabled again your ads, now I don't see any freeze.

UPD: Problem with loading emerged again!

The issue being I had to install a load balancer on my new server. There is no issue when the server is down. Problems were occuring when the server was overloaded but still trying to serve requests. When the server is down ads just would not show on the page. However when the server was overloaded they would just load extremely slowly. The solution is a load balancer that will refuse requests when the server(s) cant handle the load. This will be implemented within 20 minutes.

Issues Resolved, load balancer setup. No more page loading issues or overloaded adserver. Win-Win.

Who said he's not doing code review?

Check your server! When I click your ads following message appears:

Well, that is probably lack of code review.

clean your dns chache giant dragon  8) has nothing to do with the code on my end

And andrew scamcoiner.... The issure was a DDos from chromaticcreative.net my system wys trying to index over 300000 urls per hour, he was generating unique urls for ever popup and saturating them with useless traffic. 3 million impression 3 million urls. Do you know what happens when one server with no load balancer tries to index 3 million urls? I had to block his publisher code from serving ads or indexing. Took a little playing around with as that functionality did not exist yet.

Now work fine!

Performance issues emerged again. Publishers' sites don't load at all!

Yeah some wonderful a**hat is loading my server with 3000000 every 24 hours still, and they used the publisher code in the sample above...  >:(

Probably somebody who has a vested interest in repeated DDos attacks on the ad server.

It's Andrew BitScammer, get it right!  8)

I am joining the race! CoinURL now offers contextual ads for publisher sites and search results like Google AdWords/AdSense.

The race is heating up huh?

During short period of time, after its launch, BitcoinAdSmart became ahead of the CoinURL, but now I have taken the lead again!
I will wait your next move! ;)

So, any updates?

Is the owner of Bitcoin Adsmart still trying to improve the service? I seems like it's dead in the pan now.

The service is stable and working now that the DDoS attack were underwent is over. Unfortunately we need more advertisers! I appreciate that you have been running the ads for so long. I'll sent you a 1BTC bonus credit to the bitcoin address of your choice. In the meantime, we are looking for andvertisers and still offering a .1 btc bonus for new advertiser signups!
