PopAds.net Official Publisher Thread

Networkwide averages are pretty stable lately. Anyway, as I said many times in this thread - nothing we can do about rates.
We do not set nor control them. We have longterms plans that will take around 1 month from now to complete(hopefully) that will help, but there is nothing we could do "overnight".

 

Hi, i wonder how could i use the pop up code on my video player? I'm using Kernel Video Sharing as my player, could you tell me where do i put the js code exactly?

And by the way, can you aprove my domain? It got rejected under "site down". Because my mainpage is blank since i drive traffic to the pages of the site where video sources are held and people come to watch them. I drive traffic from social media.. I had to point the domain index page to my tumblr account so that now it gets a chance to be accepted, i specified everything in the description, the reason why the main page is blank, etc.. and the rejection note said "site down", so the guy didn't even bother to read the description i typed down for him when i added the domain. I get anything from 5k to 30k uniques per day 90% of which are from us and canada.

 

Unfortunately, as we are reviewing hundreds of websites per day, we might not be able to cater to special requests. Please contact support via email and provide your website URL so we can look into it.
Regarding code installation - I am afraid we cannot help. Every script is different and I have never heard of "Kernel Video Sharing" before.

 

Yes you can, you can increase publishers website share

 

At this moment it is set to up to 80% (for lower paid impressions).
And at 80% revshare, if we also pay 10% publisher ref, 10% advertiser ref and 4% PayPal fee, we are losing money or we are very close to losing money.
There is no room to increase revshare any more.

 

Please keep these ads away http://arstechnica.com/security/2016/03/big-name-sites-hit-by-rash-of-malicious-ads-spreading-crypto-ransomware/

 

My partner hit once that crypto ransomware and he lost 10 years of works and documents. One of the worst virus out there if you dont backup your machine.
I hate to think that popads run that virus, hope they are not.

 

We have many people trying to run such virus campaigns with us. Sometimes, very rarely they do slip through, as achieving 100% detection rate is pretty impossible.
Yet, I believe we are still much more successful at detecting such advertisers then our competition. Not only we use our own behavioral analysis technology to predict bad behaving customers, but we have also just launched a virtual machine sandbox that scans campaigns 24/7.
It is still in beta, but can already detect any kind of virus/malware, tech support, any other type of browser locking, router XSRF DNS hijacking, window.opener hijacking.
Apart of that, it can also detect sound as well as gather landingpage content and screenshots which will be used in the future to better tag campaigns as autoplaying/adult/gambling etc.
Best thing is that as it is our own technology again, in case of any new threats, we can always extend this software to detect them without being dependant on 3rd party provider.

 

Hi,
There is huge drop in traffic since 10AM on usual cmp rate.

 

10 to 13h is drop, then 14h normally than again drop.

 

Are you publisher or advertiser?

Also, please guys, remember that there are different timezones. If you do not provide me timezone the time information is useless.
From our end, networkwide traffic was stable whole day today and there were no technical issues registered.

 

Publisher ... The graph is usualy 'predictive' without that kind of drops.

 

This is actually related to certain tests we are doing on unsold traffic.
We finished a test around that time, ie. we stopped buying unsold traffic (unfortunately, for most of it, we can squeeze like $0.05 CPM, so we had to stop the campaign as it was wasting our money). Seems like it is unsold for a reason...

 

OK. If you have that much of unsold traffic it looks like you 'overkilled' advertisers options. Try with discount traffic 0.30 - 0.35 eCPM

 

Hi, i wonder if anyone could help me out on disabling the fake warnings ads on mobile? The kind of "Your phone is infected! Click here to clean!".. A portion of my visitors are on mobile and they hate that, i tried disabling software download ads on the options but that kind of ads kept coming, so which one should i disable for those ads to stop coming?

 

That is what we are trying to do right now. But still for some countries like Vietnam or Brasil, it is really hard to get even $0.30 CPM...
The problem is there are no good offers and there is insane volume of such traffic available with close to zero demand.

It is possible that some of the ads are mistagged. We are working on a permanent solution as well.

 

"Insane volume of such traffic" means that it is natural state of traffic and that advertisers have become too spoiled You (many networks) encourage them too with lots of options. They can select website, country, browser, price, time ... etc. But publishers can't disable their campaigns, countires, select browsers (desktop/mobile), etc ...
They don't pay just to sell their products/services/whatever (They can always use CPA networks). They are paying to be visible and make some brands too.
P.S. For discounted traffic even $0.2 is OK.

 

Well that's a damm shame, about 40% of my traffic is mobile and i've created a subdomain for them now so that i can provide a separate page without your code. So i'm not earning anything from mobile traffic now, nor are you, i'm sending 12k unique visits daily from the us, so it's a great loss.. Hope you guys can sort it out soon and then i'll use your code on my mobile users.

 

At this moment, you would need to either provide us IP address of visitor who got that ad or ask the visitor to use Report abuse form on our homepage.
We are working on automated solution that would tag campaigns, but detecting "software promotion" requires machine learning content recognition which is not that simple and easy.
For starters, we are testing initial version that detect autoplaying sound. So tagging of autoplaying should be greatly improved soon.

 

Well, i just started with you but i did my research before picking you guys and now that i have been working with you for a few days i can say i trust you, i'm looking forward to continue working with you for the months to come and reading that you're working on multiple ways to improve makes me even more happy about it.

Question one, i hid the default pop up ad for publishers and now i can't use it to see if the code works or not whenever i create a new page. Is there a way for me to activate it again?

Second one, how long do you take to process payments through payoneer and through paypal?
