Thanks for reporting! Unfortunately I don't know how to reproduce it. Are there any errors in javascript console? Perhaps your browser cached the invalid server response. Could you please clear the cache/cookies and try again, or perhaps try from a different browser/PC? Does anybody else experience this problem? Many thanks!

It depends on you traffic and impression.
It's like a big pool, that every website owner has share of this pool.

Cheers

I was able to add banner using another device. Can't you add simple Browse button like most sites? This button doesn't add much to design and it is pain in the ass.

Thanks for your message. Sorry for inconvenience. I think this function should work properly in most browsers. The problem was probably related to the changes in configuration of our server and if you clear your cache and cookies and start again, it should work from your device as well. If not - please let me know the version of your browser, I'll try to reproduce the problem so that we can fix and test it.

Put up an ad to test out the system, I hope it all goes good

I deposited some bitcoin in an ad campaign, and the transaction has 189 confirmations at the moment on blockchain.info, but the deposit still shows up as unconfirmed. How long does it usually take for an ad and the deposited money to be confirmed on your site?

Mine is already showing confirmed after 6 confirmations on the blockchain

Deployed a new feature: Captcha rate for advertising campaigns.

Since we are not pay-per-click advertising network, fake clicks don't affect advertisers' expenses. But they distort advertisers' statistics, that is why we implemented a new feature that enables our advertisers to filter out bot generated clicks via captcha.

Advertisers can specify the Captcha rate for their campaigns. The default value is 0, but if you want to check all the visitors before they arrive to your site, you can set it to 100%.

Although some people might refuse to pass the captcha, we don't expect significant decrease of conversion since this kind of captcha is usually easy to pass.



We expect a significant decrease of unique clicks registered by our servers because they will be filtered out by captchas.

Why not just have the advertisers use Analytics to actually analyze their traffic instead of harassing potential visitors? This is a horrible approach.

[Brad Harrison]

I agree the approach is horrible, this only benefits advertisers but publishers get punished, bad bad bad!

Thanks for your feedback!

I hate captchas too and our original idea was that advertisers use analytics and distinguish/reward good publishers themselves.

But many advertisers complained that most of the clicks counted by our system either didn't reach their sites, or were just "pings" with ~100% bounce rate. Of course some of the clicks were real, but advertisers' frustration was so high that they didn't use the service long enough to get real customers and they withdrew their money. Thus publishers suffered from the decreased earnings.

Please note that advertisers don't pay per click, so when they enable captchas, they are potentially decreasing their own conversion, not the publishers' income.

Publishers don't earn per click but if their CTR is too low then they get a smaller share of the advertising budget. I expect that the earnings of fraudulent publishers will decrease but earnings of legit ones will increase.

We are collecting statistics about publishers' ad units that allows us to show captchas more frequently to the ones that fake traffic and to better distribute the funds among publishers.

In fact, this feature is introduced to increase monetization of real traffic and thus is supposed to be good for legit publishers. But why do you think that publishers suffer?

Because when people get hit by captchas on outgoing links, they blame it on the publishing site, not the advertising one. Sort of like when sites use interstitials before you view an article. The assumption is that the publisher is who set up the ad/captcha/pay wall, and therefore it drops their readerbase, while having no negative effect on the advertisers. Essentially, what happens is this:

1) User visits site
2) User clicks link/ad
3) User gets hit by captcha
4) User says "fuck this site" and doesn't bookmark it
5) User just visits the advertiser site directly or Googles it if they were really interested
