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

[EXtremeAEX]

Hi, I see some sites have pretty much the whole site covered with your mellowads, and I assume they get revenue for each ad space they have. This sort of defeats the purpose of having these, as some ads might be repeated, which is both unfair to the advertisers and publishers.

You should set a limit of adspace you can set up, like 2-3, would be enough. Some sites have traffic that are not even 'real', like bots or whatsoever. Just to clarify, does this ad system works through the advertisers setting up a daily budget and their ads get automatically displayed through all the adspaces, or does the advertisers choose their adspaces themselves?

It seems like all the ad spaces there have ads displayed on them, regardless of their views/clicks, so I  assume its the former one. So once again ads may be repeatedly displayed, so you should give it a limit. Love this new ad network though, pays quite a lot as compared to the others.

We received a deposit from your for 0.0039 BTC - so this should be showing on your account and you should be able to start an advertising campaign now.
If not, then let us know the problem you are having

OK thanks, will have another look around to see if I can manage it.

Hi everyone,

Maximum limit of 5 ad spaces per website as of 6 July 2015

After reading through all the comments on this thread and discussing all the pros and cons of each argument we have decided that we are going to implement an upper limit on the number of Mellow Ads ad spaces per website.
The number we have come to is 5, and we will be implementing this limit as of tomorrow i.e. 6 July 2015 - so it won't affect today's pool earnings at all.
Hopefully this represents a good compromise allowing publishers to earn from multiple ad spaces spread around their site, but continues to provide good value for money for advertisers.

The way this will work is that although you can actually create and publish as many ad spaces on a web site as you like, you will only get paid from the network pool for the best 5 (i.e. the 5 with the most unique views on each day).
We will be emailing the small number of publishers who are currently just over this limit to advise them of this - and we will add some text into the Mellow Ads system to make this clear.

Thanks for all the support so far

First of all, about the number of ads, I think it's a good compromise. The sad part is with it being limitless, publishers (like myself) had to overdo it to remain competitive with those that were adding more than they should. This is a great solution to fix that problem.

Second, I got the email you sent out and wanted to say thanks -- far too many services don't send out actual notices like this, and things can go missed for weeks or months. Huge +1 for actually reaching out and contacting us via outside methods.

The cap is now 5 ads so it doesn't matter. If someone wants to put up 10 million, they won't get any benefit.

Now that there is a limit of ads, great, but you should also consider the area also. If a half page 300 x 600 and rectangle 180 x 150 pays the same for the views/clicks, would more people choose the 180 x 150 rectangle banner instead? And it would be 'unfair' for the 300 x 600 as well, because technically they are displaying more than the others, and some ad space might even contain 2-3 different ads, so I think you should pay more to the larger size ad space as well

You should also try to prevent ad spaces from having the same ad content in it, so that the publishers will benefit more.

Thats true but if 300x600 pays more people will start abusing with 5 300x600 If they pay more, there should also be a limit of 1 max like adsense. But now there's more important things they should focus on - CPC and CPM.

Why do I get only ~0.0013 BTC per day with 10k unique views per day ( 2k per ad )?

(Your uniques / network uniques) / total network earnings = your earnings

Payouts are not that good I've noticed, either the network pool total is really small or admin gets a huge chunk from fees

[adbtc.info]

They said the pool was only 0.1 btc which is a joke that so many people miss such an effective place to advertise, they put like 5 btc per day total at adbit and get 1/10th of the traffic they could get through mellowads.
