Sorry guys, we had to do a server reboot today - should all be back to normal now. The daily payouts will happen within the next hour for yesterday (2015-07-19)

Working fine now

I am really impressed by this site and I think it will really become a fierce competitor to a-ads. It is good to see new updates to the site every now and then, which makes it even more user friendly.

I believe this is in response to the blockchain attacks (which are basically forcing people to pay more in fees to get transactions through). So until that lays off, I think we're stuck with it how it is.

Still waiting for option to add "You ad here" link on my website.

Network ads page got a bit cluttered for my taste. Too much info on display right there. It's good to have it like that, but it looks bad.
I know you are experimenting right now until you get it right, so I am not worried.

You can always just manually add it. Below the ad code, add:

<center><a href="yourURLhere">Your ad here!</a></center>

There's no need for them to add the functionality when you can do it yourself, :p.

Yea, but for an unregistered user on mellowads this is pointless right now. Everything is behind login page.

Don't agree, it's better now. Would be even better if we could sort by number of CPC/CPM campaigns, not only seeing the number.

That's a completely different issue, though. And I agree, they really should get it to where all information is public. Technically, they don't even need accounts for advertisers -- they could run it like A-Ads, just allowing people to add their banner, choose how to advertise, and then submit their payments.

It would be sweet if you had CPC network ads by default instead of waiting for someone to purchase the CPC slot, any plans to add this?

We had this exact same functionality but noone ever used it. Yes we were small (only 0.5 million views network), but still it was a great value/efficiency. Let's hope we see Mellowads implement it too as it's a very powerful type of campaign, with their size you can get your campaign finished in minutes and this format will probably become very popular one day.

I totally agree and it's discouraging waiting and waiting for people to rent your CPC/CPM space when instead CPC network ads would be a lot more useful

@ can you tell me please why your sistem tell me that I have 6709 unique views and Analytics tell me 24000 ?

I actually like it how it is. The issue with CPC from a publisher perspective is that if you're not doing anything shady, you, as the publisher, have no control over whether or not a user clicks on an ad. A perfect ad on a bad website will get clicks. A bad ad on a perfect website won't. Essentially, what you're asking for is to completely remove the publisher's control over quality (where CPM is based on the publisher's ability to obtain and retain visitors), and instead base both the value AND the control on the advertiser. There's a reason why none of the top networks use a CPC model -- because no publisher with self-worth would ever join them.

You seem to be talking about CPC in general, not about network CPC campaigns. They don't force anyone to click on an ad, as you said a bad ad won't get much clicks anyway and a good ad will. Network CPC just allow you to advertise based on CPC at more sites at the same time, without having to create a separate campaign for each of them. And when you say top networks which do you mean? Adsense wouldn't be what they are if they didn't use CPC.

Exactly my point, network CPC ads are essential!

The way mellowads runs now only benefits advertisers but publishers make jack shit
