    LukAds seems like a good concept and i wish them well - any feedback from publishers?

    What countries do they have coverage for and what net cpc for each do you average?

    Thanks

    Get some more advertisers so your publishers are not walking away because they are not making any money.

    Open your market up a bit

    We accept ads and websites from all countries. Because we're still small we don't do geotargetting yet, but when we feel we're big enough we will implement this.

    May I ask what exactly you mean with opening up our market?

    I'd like to share that our way of dealing with fraudulent clicks/views has been changed. The new method will take the publishers into account more.
    Instead of simply banning the publisher's account like for example AdSense does, we will ban the IP address that made the fraudulent views/clicks.

    What this means for publishers:
    No one with something bad on their mind will be able to harm you. Instead they'll just get their IP's banned from our system, and views/clicks that they make will not be counted anymore.

    What this means for advertisers:
    Since we log all clicks/views along with the costs, we are able to give you a refund of the loss made by that fraudulent clicker/view spammer.

    We are of course highly concerned about the quality of the clicks/views made, but don't think that our publishers should suffer from an occasional spammer.

    If there are any questions about this, or anything else, please ask!

    Just a reminder to all advertisers:
    - You get 5 euro when signing up to advertise with, so you can first give it a try without spending anything at all!
    - We serve high quality traffic because we analyse every view/click. If we notice a view/click is fraudulent, you will be payed back what you payed for this click/view!
    - All you have to do is make an advertisement! We do the website finding for you, with an enhanced matching algorithm.
    - You can completely controll where your ads are shown! When making a new ad, you can fill in a daily limit, and a maximum you want to pay for an advertising spot. Also you can see which websites your ads are running on, and you can remove these if you do not want your ads there, for whatever reason.

    Ok, thanks.
    So I added my website and setup one ad zone, but it seems that you dont have any advertisers?
    I see this message: No advertisements are currently displayed on this zone.

    We do have advertisers, but apparently none that fits your website.
    Please keep in mind that category, payment type (CPM or CPC), banner type (Text or graphical, and if graphical, the size) and the price you put up all matter.

    Hi Lordstyx.
    Would like to know more about your company. I have waited over 9 weeks now for having a Adsense account and no support whatsoever from Google. I have four websites wich soon will be at the first page of Google and Yahoo.
    What revenue can i expect from Lukads?
    I like your concept and want to know more regarding pricing of the clicks.

    All the best to you.

    I'm sorry but I can't really tell you what you will earn. That's because our system works like this: as publisher you set the minimum price per zone on your website. (A zone is a spot where ads will be shown).
    That minimum will make sure that there are no ads displayed that are paying you less than that price per Click or per 1000 Impressions. (You can choose which type you want, CPC or CPM, per zone)
    As the word says this is a minimum, so ads that are paying more are of course also shown if they match your site's category etc.
    So what you earn simply depends on your traffic, and the minimum that you have set. Please remind that if you set a too high minimum you might get no ads at all, because advertisers can also set a maximum price that they want to pay per Click/1000 Impressions.

    I hope this helps and if not don't hestitate to ask more,

    Ok Lordstyx, i understand. Then i have one more question if it`s ok for you?
    Do you have advertisers in those fields: Sport,financial eg(forex trading) real estate, pets( cats and dogs for an example) ???
    I`m not a communist but i know the value of organic traffic:) so i think that you understand that i want the best out of my websites.
    One thing i like with your company is that you are transparent and able to contact.
    Feel free to PM me if you want.

    We don't have advertisers under the category sports yet, but you must know that the amount of advertisers at Lukads grows every day.
    I'll tell you that it might be possible that there aren't any advertisements available for you directly. That would be because of things such as the paying type you choose (CPM/CPC), text or graphical ads and if graphical the size, and of course the minimum limit you set.
    Anyway like I said the amount of advertisers that use Lukads grows, so eventually we will have advertisements for every single combination of those variables. We also email you when an ad was placed on your zone.

    And thanks, we find it stupid that a company doesn't answer to their (future) customer's questions.

    I doubt this gonna work. More people have dynamic IP's than static IPs. This not gonna impress publishers or advertisers much before both group can be effected. Also same for new user. I think better if you can implement a audit system and send a warning and ban if this happen repeatedly. Banning is not gonna work This is why even AdSense doesn't do it.

    We've considered that, however the owner of the website doesn't controll it's visitors. If we would warn the publisher, and tell him to stop the person that is spamming, what are they going to do? It'd be unfair to ban the publisher's account just because one person on the entire world decided to make fraudulent impressions/clicks.

    No we don't have advertisers from saudi arabia, but we don't do geotargetting as well, so that doesn't really matter. We do of course accept publishers from that area.
    I'm sorry for that error, we're working on an infraction system, as the name says (Will tell more about that when it's done and in use), but for now you can register without errors again.
