Bitcoin Forum

 I am not sure if this is the correct place to open this discussion but I wanted to ask you guys this ;

 Where do you put out your affiliate links? So far I am using mellowads for a day only with no result (well it has been only one day) but do you guys have any other ideas/places you think/already did for your affiliate links , mainly gambling websites but could be anything.

something off the top of my head: maybe put a banner ad on freebitco.in? the site has a fairly large user base and i think the rate for advertising was fairly low the last time i checked, 12 cents per 1000 impressions or something.

Depends, if you are discussing about mellowads then this is the correct section but if this is more about finding suitable places for advertising gamble sites then gambling board is more suitable


The sites in mellowads are mostly faucet sites and those who claimed faucet are pretty much not into gambling. Furthermore to attract someone to click the ads, you will need an attractive banner but then again you will only get referall who wager mostly dust . Also to break this down, you cant expect a result in one day


The image above shows my previous campaign in mellowads for 30 days which is an ads for BetterBets referall link and turns out the player conversion for that 428 unique clicks was around  5-7.5 % % which mostly wager dust (around 20+ish referall)


Thats fairly expensive as a one of the biggest faucet site around, even 100,000 impressions could be achieve in less than 2 hours ( thats $12)

 What type of places should we look to put the banners out if not faucets? Also did you turn profit out of that mellowads advert?

Some other BTC forum but then again those who have account in other forum usually has one in bitcointalk


I didnt turn any profit at all. IIRC the total commission from all this referall combine in 30 days is around 0.002~ BTC which means that I only turn around 6 % back to me. The profit doesnt matter to be honest because what matters for me would be the exposure, if you check on the number of the unique views thats quite great for just 0.03 BTC for 30 days. To cut this short, it is not easy to snap a whale that register with your affiliate link if it is what you mean

 That was what I meant , I am looking into building an affiliate marketing business to gather enough funds to provide my own app but that seems so distant right now

It is unlikely going to be a good "business" . For you to actually get a profit from gambling site affiliate comission then you will need to snap in someone who can wager quite a volume. Considering most gambling site offer 10 % of the standard 1 % edge that means for each 100 BTC wagered , your comission will be 0.1 BTC.

The main problem of advertising in a network ads is that mainly the site in the networks are faucet sites and for someone that could wager alot , the chances are tiny that the person is lurking around a faucet site. For exposure/impression, network ads is a YES but if you are advertising to hope that you could get a return or profit then the chances are close to zero .

Obviously to lure in a gambler ( a real gambler not just a dust bettor ) chances are higher if you own a gambling review site or some sort of site comparison which seems to be not a feasible idea for your right now it seems :(
