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

[baztardo]

So I just want to make sure I understand this correctly. So we make the ad and start a new campaign then at the end of the campaign do we get a small slice of what our ad brings in?

No, you are advertising a product/service/website that you own or maybe you are an affiliate for. The intention being to attract visitors to the site that you are advertising.
The way to make money directly with Mellow Ads is to be a publisher and show Mellow Ads adverts on your site.

hi

we registered with Mellow Ads and we need some help

we want to advertise some of our casino games. is that allowed and if yes
how should we approach it? any tip is very much appreciated

cheers

Yes that is allowed - and as the network pool is smaller than usual, now is a very good time to start a network campaign!
Note: When you set up your advert you will need to tick the "Gambling" sensitive category box - this ensures that your advert is not shown on publishers sites who have excluded this category.

thank you for explanation. one thing I did not understand is if I need to add a banner of ours? oh and I would like CPM is that ok?

[baztardo]

I have noticed a big down on payments these last 2-3 days. Is there a lack of advertisers? By the way, great service.... pays out like a clock!

The network pool is up and down all the time, as campaigns end and new ones are started. So the amount you earn from the pool is purely market driven - the more advertisers there are with active campaigns, the more you will earn as a publisher. Mellow Ads takes a very low 10% cut on the network pool - so that means the remaining 90% is paid out daily to publishers, based on their share of the unique impressions.

You will get better results with banner images - especially if they are well designed and present a clear and attractive message. But you can run text only adverts too - for which you can customize the text, and basic colors.
CPM campaigns are available on most of the sites on our network. Each site specifies their own CPM rate, so you need to browse through the list https://mellowads.com/networkspaces to find sites that have good CPM rates and would be suitable for your adverts.

thanks again. did I understand you right that CPM would not work with a network campaign and I would need to browse the list and decide with whom to go?

edit

Yes exactly. With network campaigns you specify a fixed amount to pay each day - and you will get a % of the total network impressions (currently over 90 million per day) depending on how much you pay.
Each CPM campaign is run directly against a specific site - for the CPM rate that they specify. Its important to note that our CPM rates are for UNIQUE impressions - so if you pay for 1000 views of your advert, it will be will shown in the ad space until it gets 1000 views from different visitors. Other ad networks which work with usual CPM setup means that your 1000 views will often include lots of duplicate visitors (i.e. refreshing the page, visiting multiple pages etc)

so I can do a CPM network campaign? not sure if I understood it and what banner sizes would you recommend

No, each CPM campaign is run directly against a single ad space. Of course you can run as many CPM campaigns as you like!
If you want to use a banner image for this campaign then you will need one of the correct size for the ad space. If you look at the list here https://mellowads.com/networkspaces you can see the size and CPM price of each ad space.

Great work so far.

@baztardo

I need your help. I did 2 CPM campaigns and when I checked the advertisement I saw that there were the text banners instead of my banners. what did I miss here? how can I add my uploaded banners to the campaigns? thx

@baztardo

We support 10 different banner sizes:

Half Banner: 234 x 60
Full Banner: 468 x 60
Leaderboard: 728 x 90
Square: 200 x 200
Rectangle: 180 x 150
Medium Rectangle: 300 x 250
Large Rectangle: 336 x 280
Skyscraper: 120 x 600
Wide Skyscraper: 160 x 600
Half Page: 300 x 600

When you create an advert you can upload banner images for any or all of these sizes. If you do not upload a banner for a particular ad space size then the text ad will show in that ad space.
On the View Advert page there is a Preview All Sizes button which can be used to see how your advert will look in the 10 different ad space sizes.

If you have already started campaigns using your advert then you will not be able to edit the advert - or upload any more banners. You can either wait until the campaigns are finished, or cancel them now (you will get a full refund for unspent campaign funds) and then edit the advert. It will need to be submitted for approval again before you can use it again in a new campaign.

Hope this all makes sense!

Mellow ads rejected me like 10 times... is the only network that refused me, even adsense already accepted me.

What is your web site?
If it is being rejected then it must not comply with our Website Approval Guidelines

I canceled all and did a new one. how can I see that it shows my banner and not text only?

[Lutpin]

I canceled all and did a new one. how can I see that it shows my banner and not text only?

You open your advert via "view advert" and then click on "preview all sizes".

@Lutpin

thanks for trying to help. I await not approval and then after I buy the ad or before I can see if it is the banner or text ad?

[Lutpin]

thanks for trying to help. I await not approval and then after I buy the ad or before I can see if it is the banner or text ad?

You should see it right away, regardless of whether the ad is approved yet or not.
If you watch your advert, it should be something like https://mellowads.com/advert/ID
Go to https://mellowads.com/advertpreview/ID (ofc replace the ID part with your actual ad-ID), and check for all the banners.
