[ANN] Mellow Ads - simple, bitcoin advertising. Network/CPM/CPC. Free faucet!

[ranlo]

Are these stats correct?

I enabled a campaign with and add for buywithbtc.biz, with the Advert title = "Buy with Btc.biz" and the Advert text = "Hot places to spend your BTC and ALTs".

Within about an hour, my add was apperantly shown 4340 times to 3824 unique visitors, not a single click tough...

This sounds strange to me. Most of the addspots are located on faucets, so i'm advertising a place to buy stuff with the BTC they're claiming on the faucets. I would have guessed i would do a little better than the 1:250 i'm seeing on the network page, but i defenately wouldn't have guessed i would do a lot worse...

I know, it's all statistics, but still 0 clicks with 4340 views sounds wrong to me...

Maybe i should change my add text, but it's just strange to me. I've actually seen better CTR's on adult tube traffic.

Definitely change your ad. I had a much better experience with mine, and mine sucked, :p.

Here's my post with my stats.

Sorry guys, the initial 0.001 BTC free advertising credit promotion finished last week (25th June)

The good news is that we are currently well into the development of the CPM and CPC campaigns, which should hopefully be available on the system sometime next week

Will CPC work exactly how CoinURLs works?

[adbtc.info]

If it works per unique click, you all should forget about opening any other ads site.
Coinurl takes you 50-85% fee, but people don't know it and still use them.

I'm not familiar with how CoinURL works but this is roughly how our CPM and CPC campaigns will work (both will be unique view/click)...

1) Publisher will need to opt in each of his ad spaces to CPM and/or CPC and then set a CPM price (i.e. cost for each thousand unique views) and a CPC price (i.e. cost for each unique click)
2) CPM...
    a) Advertiser selects an ad space that is CPM enabled
    b) Specifies how many blocks of 1000 unique views they want
    c) Pays in full for the total unique views at the publishers CPM price
    d) The advert is shown in the ad space until it reaches the specified number of unique views - if there are multiple CPM/CPC campaigns running on the ad space then the ads will be rotated.
        Therefore, during this time the ad space will not display any network ads so will not earn any share of the network pool!
    e) At the end of each day the publisher is paid for whatever unique views have been delivered that day (100% of the paid price, 0% Mellow Ads fee!)
3) CPC...
    a) Advertiser selects an ad space that is CPC enabled
    b) Specifies how many unique clicks they want
    c) Pays in full for the total unique clicks at the publishers CPC price
    d) The advert is shown in the ad space until it reaches the specified number of unique clicks - if there are multiple CPM/CPC campaigns running on the ad space then the ads will be rotated.
        Therefore, during this time the ad space will not display any network ads so will not earn any share of the network pool!
    e) At the end of each day the publisher is paid for whatever unique clicks have been delivered that day (100% of the paid price, 0% Mellow Ads fee!)

Paying daily at the end of each day allows us to do 2 things...
1) Bigger window to run our bot/fraud detection systems - if we detect this then we can prevent publisher payment (and probably ban the publisher!), and refund the advertiser
2) Ensures that the publisher keeps the ad space active for the duration

Hope this makes sense!

Hello there. Just make a 728x90 advertising slot on BitRevenues. I wonder if I create more slots, will the stats be unchanged like A-ads? By unchanged I mean it only add views and clicks to one slot - that what A-ads did.

Do network ads still fill in when there's no CPM/CPC, or does opting into those as a publisher mean those blocks are SOLELY for CPC/CPM and until someone buys in, you get nothing at all?

Yes, network ads fill in when there are no CPM/CPC campaigns running on an ad space. So you will continue to get the network revenue if no-one buys a CPM/CPC campaign

No, we operate differently to A-Ads in this respect.
Each slot counts its views and clicks independently - and are classed as unique for that ad space only (not across the page or the whole network as A-Ads does)

[Brad Harrison]

That's why mellowads kicks ass, can't wait for CPM/CPC

I decided to see how your network is working (after one user recommended it)

I have created an account, added a website (http://bitcoinspace.net/freebitcoins/) inserted your code on my website.

Also I have created an ad to promote my website in the newtwork (still pending)

One question :  my adspace show : "Location - Bottom center - Not verified"  When the adspace is verified?  it is a manual verification, because the adspace is active and already have 1450 uniwue views and 3 unique clicks?

Thanks for signing up

Location verification is all done manually. We have had such a rush of publishers sign up that we are a little behind doing this, but it will be done asap.
In the meantime your revenue will not be affected at all. The location is just for information for the advertiser so really only becomes important when we have CPM/CPC campaigns.

[Brad Harrison]

I see changes to the main page, info about CPM/CPC has been added

[adbtc.info]

Beautiful, 0% fees for unique CPC and CPM, all other networks will become useless

I agree I can't believe some charge up to 60% fee

[adbtc.info]

They hide their fees and many people probably don't even notice that they are being robbed.

Can you prove it? This is weird..

You can prove it for yourself - just look for their fees anywhere in their sites and terms. Then ask them by e-mail how much are their fees. And hope that they answer you
