1AD sells advertising slots. Those slots are displayed on affiliates websites.
We
do not provide ads creation services. You have to do it on your own. Ads have to be built in HTML/CSS style. You have to respect precise slot sizes.
Ads related to NSFW content are not authorized. We may refuse ads for other reasons.
An affiliate could provide multiple slots on its website. Each slot is randomly rotating 20 times. We sell 20
tickets, for each slot. A ticket gives you the possibility to display your ad on a specific slot. If you purchased 10 tickets, your ad has a 50 % chance to be displayed, each time your website is visited.
CampaignsEach weekly display is called a campaign. Every ad is displayed during one week, 168 hours. The system is automated, so your ad will be displayed from Monday to Sunday, based on UTC-5 time.
StatisticsWe offer access to accurate statistics, based on past and current ads. (Note from December 5th, 2016: Current ads are test ads)
http://138.197.140.60:8080/stats : Stats about a whole campaign
and specific stats for each ads. It includes total impressions, total clicks, unique IPs, click rate... Works for current and past campaigns.
http://138.197.140.60:8080/showing : If you want to be sure your ad is correctly included in the system, use this link. It shows all current displayed ads, but does not work with past ads.
Adblockers bypassingOur system manage to bypass standard ad blocking systems by using a backend api to fetch the ad content and css. The fetching process is not visible to the end user and does not leave any trace in the browser. The very small client library provided does the work of fetching the ad content and prepares the actual ad to be displayed in the distributor's page. For any visitor, it seems that the ad is published by the distributor itself (no iframe, no source url). The callback url included (when the user clicks an ad) is obfuscated with base64 encoding in JavaScript so no adblocking rules can be applied to them. Url is decoded on the fly when the user clicks on the link.
The ads must be fetch on every request. Caching should
NOT be used. The system employs many obfuscations techniques to confuse ad blocking systems. Using caching on top of our system could result in blocked ads.
Important note: All the ads distributed from our network will be analysed and cleaned so they do not contain malicious JavaScript code. Please dot not use the client application with another host/ip than the one provided. Doing such could compromise your whole userbase and result in serious damage.
AdsAll ads have to be built in HTML/CSS style.
Images are allowed, but the whole ad needs to respect slot size. No change will be done after campaign start.
If you win a slot during an auction, you will have to send us your code as soon as possible. Once we received it, your code will be deeply analyzed and quickly deployed.
Auctions rulesAuctions will occur on another forum, hosted on 1ad.store. You will need to create a new account on this forum, using the same username as the one you have chosen on bitcointalk.
You will have the possibility to post your bids on specific threads. You have to know that once you posted a bid, it means you accepted the terms of service (those terms will be posted on every auctions thread).

All bids will be included in a spreadsheet that will be posted at the top of thread. Users will have to post bids like `Slot #15 : X.XX BTC.`. Like in every auction system, you have to post the biggest offer to win a ticket.
When an auction ends on Wednesday, if you won a ticket, you will have 36 hours to send funds to the address we'll have sent you through PM. If you don't, your bid will be cancelled and your ticket will be sold to the second highest bidder. You will also receive a negative trust and be possibly, temporarily or permanently banned from our services.All bids have to be divisible by 0.05.
