Oh, I thought it is posted there. Fees are following: for bids < 0.01 BTC it is 10%
                                                                             bids >= 0.01 BTC is 12.5%

Thank you for comment. As for bee-ads.com - any suggestions to improve our service?

Sorted

With the scam/phishing attempts running around lately on my mind I would not be surprised if this website was set up with getting login credentials of people as a primary target. 

Hi dhavin,

sorry for late response, we are busy with bitsense-ads.com set-up nowadays. We were forced to completely re-do our API as some of ad-exchanges we are going to use changed theirs. It seems bitsense should be up and running (open for new registrations) before end of this year.

Did you success with withdrawal from bee-ads.com? Because there was plenty of withdrawals made in last few days and we are not aware of any problems. If you were not able to withdraw please send me pm with your details so we can check it for you.

Hi nocroom,

we are offering:
250x250 - square
125x125 - button square

There is no need to use other formats as advertisers aren't really asking for them (means you won't have them bought by them). Try to adjust your website to IAB standard. Hope this helped.

Hi,

sorry for delay in response.

We had to deal with scammy adverts which were published through our ad network. Maybe you notice them as well, they were coming from all other bitcoin related ad networks too. Problem was that this "advertiser" used 3 of our clients accounts (he somehow obtained their credentials) which led to their ban (as we thought they are causing these ads showing up).
 
We want to apologize to bitcoinalien, he was among those affected. We simply followed our TOS and (without knowledge that someone else uses his account) we banned him. I was in contact with him via pm and I hope it is sorted.

Here you can see the ads:
first one led to this website:




If anyone filled up the field requiring their bitcoin wallet ID they were transferred to dummy blockchain.info website which was set up to steal login credentials.





Now most of the people would notice that is a fake site but plenty simply did not and they gave away their details to scammer.

We wanted to find
a) reason for this mess happening,
b) identify the source and person behind it,
c) make everything possible it wont happen again.
We hired 3rd party to run diagnosis and to specify eventual vulnerabilities (if any exist) and the results came only yesterday. We were happy that the worst scenarios (SQL injection, XXS attack) were not on place, all was done via social engineering probably (from over 500 users accounts only 4 were affected).

We know that plenty of publishers don't care what kind of ads are being posted on their website as far as they get some profit of it. This won't happen with us, there will be ZERO tolerance towards any suspicious activity even this will cost us revenue. Obviously we can not decide about every ad - if miners offer is real or is it a scam, its up to users to find out, but we will try to block any ad coming with "scam" written over it.

To avoid this happening we took these actions:


1) There is secure https access to bee-ads.com now implemented.
2) Auto "reset password" function added (linked to users email accounts so its impossible to re-gain access to bee-ads unless you are owner of the email). If you feel there is any suspicious activity going on with your account just change your password.
3) All new advertisements have to be manually validated before becoming functional. We are aware it could be inconvenient for some advertisers but it is simply necessary measure we had to take now. No more malicious ads leading to scam websites will be possible to put via bee-ads.com.  

I hope you will understand our position. We value honest users and we want to protect them.


 

Hi,

the reason for your account being banned is following:

You have published advertising for website bitsecuretransfer.com under your account. That ad led to phishing site which is acquiring Blockchain wallet IDs via another website called blockchcain.info. This website is a complete imitation of blockchain.info and it was set up for getting login credentials for Blockchain users only.

Thank you for your input bitcoinaliens,

at the moment the option to avoid these ads appearing on your website(s) is to delete them on "view&bid" page. We are now preparing "block&report the ad" option so any harmful advertising can be permanently block from appearing and will be reported to admin to deal with it and its provider.
Other way would be manual validation of all new ads but it would mean delay for advertisers to have their ads up and running - in case faulty ads will appear continuously we will probably go this way.
Sorry for inconvenience - we are taking steps to avoid this.

Hi, what do you mean? You can withdraw anytime once your balance reaches 0.001 BTC. It is instant.

Another statistic tool provided for both advertisers/publishers:




You can see it under your account tab and it shows how your ads/bids compare at current time.

Thank you for a suggestion, we are planning to implement it.

New tool for Advertisers:

You can now check every individual bid's performance - Real Time ad views and clicks.
This should help you measure how is your ad bid performing against general (total) stats for every ad-slot, because these stats are provided for YOUR BIDS ONLY.

Planned minimum withdrawal via Paypal is $10 for the first withdrawal, followed by decrease to $5 from second withdrawal.

We hope we will be become one of the best CPM/CPC networks on the market.

Planned re-opening for Bee-ads.com is delayed: we are still setting up trading desks with Appnexus and Rubicon Exchanges, all is prepared but there was a small hick-up with implementing their APIs to our adserver. We want to have it done properly from the very beginning, hence the postponing.
 

Hi krishatnet,
thank you for an interest.

Both Bee-ads.com and Bitsense-ads.com accept all niche websites.
With Bee-ads.com there is the eCPM decided by advertisers bids.
With Bitsense-ads.com the floor eCPM is $0.29. Average eCPM for 12 websites we are testing our adserver with is $0.83 but there are obviously plenty of factors involved for every specific page so it could go way up or way down. But the floor is set up and should be kept - the fill rate with it is 87%, the rest we cover with passback tags (re-targeting).

Hi fatal,

all taken care of, we were aware of it and those sites were (and are still being) taken of our database plus their accounts banned etc.
More importantly - 0.13 BTC invested in ads on these sites by advertisers were credited back to their accounts so advertisers did not lose any of their funds.
We have implemented tracking for invalid clicks/impressions so anyone trying to use bots, fake traffic etc will be found and all funds will be always returned to advertisers in full as it is stated in our TOS.

Hi ryukamiho,

thank you for your interest. Regarding having our ads together with Google Adsense - you can use them without any problems as they follow IAB standards and they are in no way in conflict with Adsense TOS.



bee-ads.com added few small enhancements

- for advertisers there is an ad preview available on "Your Ads" page - just hover with mouse over your ad name.
- for publishers - you can delete any ad bid on your website if you find ad not acceptable for your site

Thank you 12parsa it's coming soon.

Yes, there is a message on that page stating that you need to switch off your ad-blocking software otherwise you won't be able to see new ad-slot form. Glad you found out.
