hi andrew, i added this to my website but then quickly removed it as i thought it looked a bit messy:

if it appeared centered properly, and if 'BitcoinAdvertisers.com' wasn't sliced off at the bottom, that might help.

I will look into this.

i tried again, this time modifying the generated code to have border:1px solid #cccccc instead so at least it now appears to be centered: http://payb.tc

your domain is still cut off though (in chrome)

thanks!

also andrew, on your preview page, it would be good if you displayed the ad how it will actually appear...

as it is currently it's not as helpful, imho.

I agree, that is the next step is to add a preview page to confirm or re-edit the ad.  Hope to have done within week.

Also I may ban adult themed ads until we can add a adult content filter, if anyone else wants me to do this let me know.  I have already received one request for this.

Send that person over to us  ;D  We will be doing adult theme advertising  so send them over to: http://www.sexybitcoinads.com  -  opening Monday.

Yes, I am thinking along the lines of making a separate queue for image based ads in the future so that publishers that prefer text only ads can keep it that way.  I don't have a specific time frame for that in mind, if more people demand that feature I will add it sooner.
I'd appreciate it greatly.


Title: Re: Announcing BitcoinAdvertisers.com THE MONEY MAKING MONSTER!
Post by: Daily Anarchist on April 29, 2012, 02:29:29 AM
I'm curious what the algorithm is for which ads get put up and when. If I had to take a guess it looks something like this:

CTR x bidA = a

CTR x bidB = b

CTR x bidC = c

and so on. The largest wins.

So, let's say company A has a CTR of 0.053 and a bid of 0.003 BTC per click. It would be

0.053 x 0.003 = 0.000159

Let's say company B has a CTR of 0.046 and a bid of 0.0035 BTC per click. It would be

0.046 x 0.0035 = 0.000161

Therefore, company B would have their ad placed instead of company A. Even though their CTR was lower it was more than made up for because they pay a higher amount per click. And company B's ads will keep getting impressions instead of company A until either the CTR of company B lowers, or the bid of company A increases. Am I correct or is there a different algorithm?

Hi. Great service, although I had a problem when creating an ad.

I paid for 30 clicks but after a while the Payment Status just said Internal Server Error or some other server error, however refreshing the page gave me a whole new deposit address and presumably, a new order.

There's no page that I can see to go back and confirm that my first order went through okay.

If you can check, the ad was for http://BitcoinRPS.com and the transaction has many confirmations now.

Thank you.

P.S. Could you provide some statistics to the affiliates? I would like to know at least how much Bitcoins are on the my balance.

There is no intention of changing this at this time.
Oh, OK, I just thought you would possibly be wanting people to visit your site when they click the link. But if you wish to clear away the ad and leave a blank white space for them to stare at, that is fine with me too. Anytime I see one, I just click it and poof, no more ads. Quite considerate, actually.

andrew, rjk speaks the truth... you need to put something like target="_top" or target="_blank" in the href for BitcoinAdvertisers.com

otherwise, you're not going to grow your organic traffic.

Tiny problem: I noticed that on some of the ads when you mouseover to them, the web address has double HTTP'ness. (http://http://)

Great site.

I was testing the code and sometimes when I click the ad it opens on the iframe instead of opening on a new page.
That only happened with your own ad (http://www.bitcoinadvertisers.com/).

A local bitcoiner here in vegas just told me tonight, as I bought some of his bitcoins, that he's going to be adding your ads to a few of his high traffic sites in the next week or two. He would do it sooner, but is swamped with stuff at the moment.

207k hits those are serious claims...

And an increase in partnership. I assume by that you mean the backing of the investment populace.

I am sure you're company will have no problem finding fundage from a major source such as say glbse.com...

I liked it when it displayed the "Currently you could earn 2.475 mBTC" when it was just normal BTC values.

I gotta say.. you guys have the best ad service out there.

Today I was tasked with an advertising campaign for WTCR.ca (http://wtcr.ca/) (buy computer components with bitcoin online!!!) and I was testing each service to see which service would bring me the most traffic.

I am using Operation Fabulous, FeedZeBirds, BitcoinAdvertisers, DailyBitcoins, and AnonymousAds.

Still waiting on my Op-Fab & DailyBitcoins deposits, FeedZeBirds is having problems, AnonymousAds worked great but traffic is pretty low, and with BitcoinAdvertisers I already have 2000 impressions!!

That ultra-fast deposit time is excellent, and the traffic you get!?!  BOOM, love the site.  Hopefully some customers will buy products from the store as well!

Have you considered making BitcoinAdvertisers on the GLBSE?  I'd buy stock.  Forgive me if this was previously mentioned.

How do you measure traffic? Anonymous Ads doesn't count impressions from the same IP more than 1 time during 24 hours (according to internal logs it gives about 10 times more impressions than it shows in stats).

Unlike other services, AA doesn't pay per click or per impression, thus publishers don't have incentive for generating fake clicks and impressions (they don't get paid for it).

What's your ad # at anonymous ads? :)

there are no advertisers or publishers on throughads, that is a poor business proposition.
I just noticed them too, checked 'em out, looks promising but I think it needs more publishers first before it can reel in the traffic :)

That is correct, the only way to measure for bad or fraudulent clicks is by averaging the percentage of what a normal click through rate versus one with fraudulent clicks.  In order to protect advertisers investment we have to be aggressive with what we believe the acceptable click through rate is and if or when your traffic normalizes to what it is set to for the number of impressions expected you will get your payout.

High CTR not always indicates to the fraud, it can highly vary from site-to-site. There are plenty of other methods how to detect fraud.

Currently you are misleading customers promising "Currently you could earn 10.89 mBTC for one visitor" but telling nothing about CTR limits! It is really bad business practice!

Honestly, the best way to do it (in my opinion) is by a combination of total impressions and unique impressions.  Something like X(Unique) + Y(Total) = Payout, where X might be 0.01 BTC and Y might be 0.0001 BTC.  And of course, check for what browser is being used, etc, so bots aren't counted.

Going by CPC is pretty sketchy on both the publisher and management side.  The publisher might be tempted to click on his own links, or otherwise incentivise the clicks for other people, and the management side might be tempted to ban sites that appear to have a high CTR, when it very well could be legitimate traffic.

The CTR rate we use is private to prevent abuse.
If you would be a real company which must obey EU consumer protection laws, you would must to clearly specify all conditions on your front page (not just hiding in somewhere in the middle of ToS) and definitely declare exact CTR value, exceeding which customers will not receive payments. Otherwise it would be classified as customer's misleading! A non-Bitcoin company in these circumstances would receive a bunch of lawsuits and with 99.999% chance you would be ordered to pay all fund earned.

It is a big advantage of the Bitcoin economy that you can start any business and be away from state regulations, so I cannot demand anything from you. But I have chosen to make this issue public to let the other users decide to agree your conditions or not.

Does Google disclose the rates at which they determine a website to have fraudulent clicks?  As far as I've ever seen, no.

I agree with this. I think CPM is more honest in general and better for everybody. Consider the fact that some advertisers might get more impressions because they bid higher but aren't getting very many clicks because their ads aren't enticing. The publisher loses out because the ads aren't getting clicked. Plus, sometimes publishers like to click their own ads because they are genuinely interested, but they don't click because they don't want to look fraudulent.

That's one of the bad things about Google Adsense, is the publishers are always left wondering how many genuine clicks are being rejected by Google because Google thinks it looks fraudulent, all the while the advertiser is paying for the clicks as if they were real, so Google rakes it in and publishers get screwed.

That's not true. Google refunds advertisers for the value paid for clicks that are found to be fraudulent.


An open-source script or something would be nice. Either way, ferreting out fraudulent clicks is WAY MORE resource intense than simply making things CPM. More efficiency means more savings for advertisers and more income for publishers.

Well, no advertising is a guarantee of new business but online advertising has inherently measurable metrics which advertisers can use to judge what is best for them.  I setup this system because I believe it is the best middle ground for all our partners to get the most value for using the service.  :)

Any chance of giving publishers and advertisers the option of CPM or CPC? It would be nice as a publisher to specify that I only accept CPM ads.

Sure perhaps in a future version we can do that.  The more people that ask for it the faster we can get to it.  Based on user demand the next release will have graphic banners for publishers who chose to allow those on their site.

Well, no, that's not true.  Google either pays you everything, or waits for a month, then informs you that the $100 you earned last month was due to fraudulent clicking activity, and you won't be paid.  They don't reject a certain number of clicks.  If they see fradulent clicking, then they reject ALL of the clicks, and all of your payments.

I've had it happen to three websites of mine, and have since forever sworn off of Google's Adsense.  They let you appeal the ban, but then decline your appeal 99% of the time.

State it clearly on the visible place (e.g. footer) that users could know that they are not guaranteed with payout!

For example: "Website operator reserves the right to reject payments on its sole discretion!".

Sadly I am am having to post this quote from our TOS to head off a likely dispute with a disgruntled partner (e.g., web publisher) who is making inaccurate claims about the service and is likely to make those grievances public.

I disagree that this is necessary.  Every CPC-based advertiser will reject a site that is receiving fraudulent clicks.

I absolutely agree with you, but in this case BitcoinAdvertisers.com admin rejects legitimate clicks only at reason that the publisher has high CTR.

P.S. I suppose the owner just don't have enough skills to implement normal fraud detecting script and therefore rely on the CTR.

Pretty sure that's how most other sites do it too, but maybe you know more about it than I do?  I know Google has some fairly complex (obviously not working well) methods of detecting click fraud, but most small-time advertising sites just use CTR and statistics to figure out who is cheating and who is not.

I have implemented complex fraud detection algorithm on the CoinURL and it seems to work fine (I manually analyzed the logs and don't found any significant number of suspicious clicks). Of course it was not easy to implement and I need to periodically update filters, but it eliminates any disputes with publishers which emerged with the BitcoinAdvertisers.com. Relying solely on the CTR looks very primitive and if the admin wants to attract much more users, he must seriously work on the software.

At least you can leave them without a payout if you click enough. Given that even the traffic stats for partners are public, the system can be easily exploited.
Totally agree.
I see no future for this service if the admin will not invest his time/money in the development, IMHO.

I am not in this game to make profits, but rather to provide good services to people, but yes you are right in that I need a partner, who knows how to talk to people. My logic is very strange when it comes to socializing. And most people take my words as being arrogant or similar, or so I've been told.

I like this saying,  All good things comes to those who wait.

In my experience just being honest sounds blunt, arrogant, or hurtful to people but I get called arrogant and much worse when just being a nice guy.  Being more cerebral ("stuck in ones head") then average people most developers are a bit socially awkward (even the trendy nerdy ones I have know). Now you have 8-12 good looking services but you don't have a business plan wrapped around them and I can tell you have more time to think those things through and are not constrained by needing to make a profit (like I am) when making a service.   If I were you I would try to find someone in your strange country (i.e., if you live where poor fools are used to paying $75 an hour for web development it should be easy!) willing to invest into or volunteer for a business manager that understands online services where you can work on the tech things to your hearts content you will be on a better path to success.

If you fail to recall I will remind you that you terminated your agreement with us a long time ago and since I am not interested in resuming this partnership
By law, terminating a contact requires making a refund. Clause that you can simply terminate my account without giving money back is absolutely illegal!

your balance for the first address was only http://bitcoinadvertisers.com/partnerstat.php?p=1B8eNdu4567BWb1jeBdcJDYEssaYnZXcjY 0.0099
You promised to pay about 11 mBTC per click on main page, but now you tell me that 372(!!!) clicks are worth just 0.0099 BTC. It is ridiculous!

and the second I don't even see evidence existed.
Code with this address had been posted on Daily Bitcoins for few weeks. Google caches periodically websites (and probably keeps all data, not just latest copy), therefore with decree of the court the Google can provide proof agaist you.

P.S. Exactly as before, I see no willing to solve the problem from your side.

is dynamically updated based on advertiser deposits, I have no control over what advertisers pay for ads and neither is it a CPC promise, the key word here is "could" not "promise".
0.0099 BTC per 372 clicks = 0.0000266 BTC per click = 0.0266 mBTC comparing to ~10 mBTC you have promoted. I agree that price fluctuates with the market, but not on 375 times difference (!!!). It is pure misleading of consumer, which is punishable in most countries.

Post by: giantdragon on June 02, 2012, 08:37:44 PM
you do not understand what dynamic means.
You are really crazy!
I regularly visit BitcoinAdvertisers and always see price about 10 mBTC. I have never seen amounts even less than 1 mBTC.

P.S. It is not worth for me to sue you due to high legal costs, but I will try to contact your hosting provider asking to terminate your account. I suppose he don't want to host a fraudster on his servers.

I am not interested in namecalling.

I got the usual response "your CTR is too high", which I *personally* don't get, but since I've never before meddled with ads, well, could be standard practise, whatever. No quantification of the acceptable CTR, but no accusation of fraud on my part, either.

PM'd him back, we'll see how that goes.

For the time that I had BA word ads in my forum I did receive payment. Not only that, but I even clicked on the ad once just to make sure it worked and whether or not it popped up in a new tab or not. And I was not slapped with fraudulent CTR.

Clicking the ads to test them or if there is genuine interest is fine.  We are more concerned with automated clicks or a pattern of unusual spikes which is easy to spot.

Future versions of the site will have graphs for all partners so that this can be seen more easily.

Post by: Stephen Gornick on June 06, 2012, 03:21:49 AM
Is there any option for a publisher so that the statistics are not public?  I maybe am less concerned about revenues as a whole (determined from the bitcoin address in the ad code) being public, but more so the Impressions, Clicks, CTR, and RPM that shows in the "Partner Statistics". 

 - http://bitcoinadvertisers.com/partnerstat.php?p=[bitcoin address used in publisher's ad code]

Without having an account, there's no easy way to protect this I suppose.  So to offer this would probably involve me associating an e-mail address and password, so that viewing the partner statistics would require the password.  (and the e-mail to be able to recover from a lost password situation).  And that probably adds complexity you were not looking towards having.  So I'm not sure what you could to do to restrict access to this statistics report.

Well you're unhappy, but you aint doin shit about it.

This is exactly the dickhead attitude towards customers that will drive people away.
Maybe hire someone sociable to do your support?

I clearly described my annoyance with your line of argument via PM.
I clearly described the double standard therein.
Spelt it out for you.

And then you bid me farewell with a sorry? That's pretty sad.

I am NOT saying you are running a scam, but you ARE doing everything you can to drive away your source of income - people that BUY ads and people that RUN ads. I used to be both - now I'm neither (well, I do run 10 or so to get my CTR lower). And don't you dare clear my account - if I come back in two months and my .X BTC isn't there, I'll be not as diplomatic.

Here's what I saw (http://vvcap.net/db/_iUSyDvQzpLjN-Fcdwgg.htp). Obviously, nobody human visits this site. There's nothing in it. It just displays ads and someone clicks on them. Clearly scam.

UPDATE: the domain owner contacted me and apparently there is some actual traffic on the web site. Not clear who actually visits it, since there is no content, but oh well. It would be helpful if there could be some way to identify the sites with actual (potentially) interested visitor

So, I got the ad upload to work and made payment ... however, the ad does not appear to be running and nobody is reponding to the support ticket trying to verify that the upload worked.

I'm beginning to think that the links on here relating to Bitcoinadvertisers being a scam may be true, which would be very unfortunate.

If Andrew or anyone else from the company would respond it would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise, please return the 3 BTC payment.

Thanks,

Hi Andrew, we like your ad service and we've been using it for the past month. The thing is we have to deal with allot of complaints from Rugatu's users about our ssl certificate being expired or having other issues, which is not the real problem but serving insecure content at the same time with the secured one.

The only thing we serve insecurely is your service ads, so if I may ask, do you have plans on serving them over https (ssl)?

Google chrome mobile version 19.0.1084.60 on IOS5

I just found another error or possible the same error as above.

You might want to put a script to check when placing ads that the url used is a valid format or that the url loads up a page.

I found an ad with "http//https//" + "site url" and this isn't a valid url and throws an error saying invalid url.

I have notified the owner of the ad about the problem.

I have verified the problem with chrome on windows and safari on IOS.

The site went down and your ISP's inline caching proxy still has the old version, it will fix by itself just give it some time. Guessing here.

I just want to give a heads up.

Looks like someone is running an ad for illegal drugs is there an option to block this.

Also you might wanna look thru your current websites running your ads.

It appears to be a porn site that appears to be hosting child porn and its not running a "18 USC § 2257" disclaimer that 99% of normal porn sites use.
I have reported the site for review to the NCMEC and the websites Host provider.

It seems that hoster already have taken measures! This SCAM not available anymore!

On their Stats (http://www.bitcoinadvertising.com/stats.php) page last payment was made about 4 days ago, so it seems that Andrew Bitcoiner plan to finally grab its publishers' Bitcoins at maximum as he can and close BitcoinAdvertisers.
