[Owner gone AWOL] Website Preview: BITADS.NET. Now Pay-Per-Day!

I vote go back to hours - my ads aren't doing good either.

I have to agree. Or create an option to switch between those two and set the standard value to "Per Hour".

That doesn't make much sense TBH.
I highly doubt advertisers are that stupid, I mean, c'mon, it's the exact same thing... 0.5, 1/2...

Apparently not. I lost a huge amount of advertisement 1-2 days after the implementation of the 24 hour system. It went down to zero 2 days later. Now it's slowly climbing back up and I changed my price's back to normal, but still.

I know it sounds stupid, I cannot believe it myself, but that is just how I experienced the change.

It's not really "stupid," it's how we infer things. 0.1 BTC an hour sounds a lot better than 2.4 BTC a day, for example. Smaller numbers are always "better."

It's really along the same lines as the marketing gimmick for discounts. If you have an item for $5.00 and then offer two coupons: one for 50% off and one for $2.50 off, and ask which is the better deal, people will almost always choose one over the other, even though they are exactly the same. It's how our brains play tricks on us, :p.

Shit, I withdrew to the wrong address. Could you please send the BTC0.0453 to "1JxvSh6wFww5Cjd3waTtuS4yeYeDrs2CVe" instead of "18i3PzeDPMNAg9Kcux1hvyPnSoJ4yo7u7k"?

Sure no problem!

As for per-day or per-hour. The advertisers are starting to pick up again for per-day. I'll see how this goes and wait for some more feedback before a decision is made.

Thank you, I received it. Long live manual payouts!

And that sounds like a good idea.

It's possible that what happened caused confusion. IE. the system started out as per-hour for some advertisers, so when it jumped up to per-day they may have not noticed that difference and thought "whoa, the prices just jumped up by over 20x what they were. I'm out!" I have the feeling this is what happened.

[Mooshire]

Kind of annoying to have to wait this long for my payout

[ingrownpocket]

I don't think clicks are being counted correctly.

https://bitads.net/?p=bid&id=38
https://bitads.net/?p=bid&id=184
https://bitads.net/?p=bid&id=76

Like I said before, there's something wrong with clicks count.
Sometimes it shows negative clicks, and I need to refresh the page.

[Mitchell]

I still would love to see an option to switch between hour and day prices. I mean, the amount I get doesn't stay the same all day long. It was around 0.04 in the morning, 0.08 in the afternoon and now its 0.092. I would like to see it per hour, because that is more precise.

[btcton]

Hmmm, for the reasons mentioned previously I now think that seeing the hourly rate might be better.

[Cyberdyne]

So, is this really pay per day now?

On the Create Adspace page, PLEASE clarify this input:

Minimum Bid

Make it say something like:

Minimum Bid (per hour)
or
Minimum Bid (per day)
or
Minimum Bid (per square inch)

Or whatever is correct. As it stands now, this input is vague to newcomers like myself who am not sure what the number I input there really represents.

It is actually pay-per-hour, it is simply displayed as pay-per-day for... eh... "Simplicity's sake." Or so I had thought.
EDIT: Hang on, I didn't read that carefully. I actually have no idea, good question.

[Cyberdyne]

It is actually pay-per-hour, it is simply displayed as pay-per-day for... eh... "Simplicity's sake." Or so I had thought.

So if I put 0.01 in "Minimum Bid", people have to pay at least 0.01 per hour?

Scratch that, check my edit.

No, it's like this:

Your bid is per day but is charged per hour.

IE. you bid 24 BTC. This is 24 BTC a day. Instead of charging 24 BTC up-front or at the end of the day, it does 1 BTC an hour. Essentially it's like a pro-rated system.

So, for the dummies: "Minimum Bid" on the Create Adspace page means "Minimum Bid per Day".

I'm starting to see why this network has not grown as quickly as it could have.

Correct. And there was confusion in the past because it went from being set up per day to per hour and then back to per day again. So for people who joined in phase 2 (per hour), they are probably viewing the current costs as being the hourly costs instead of the daily ones.

And for people who haven't started yet, but have just heard here-and-there about bitads, it's totally unclear.

Thanks for clarifying.
