BURSTize - Ad revenue based asset from ads on forums.burst-team.us & burstcoin.biz
-
On top of wanting my previous post addressed, I have a couple requests to consider.
I believe shareholders should have access to up-to-date google analytics reports for all the properties. If you don't have analytics effectively installed, it's an important thing to do. Analytics is the main reporting system relied on for valuating properties and ad space.
Secondly, I suggest implementing an ad serving solution for all of the creative spaces. This not only brings all of the ad serving under one roof, but it also makes implementing new campaigns much easier. Potential advertisers would be able to manage their campaigns as well. I believe this is very important for the asset's properties as they keep growing. Installing management software now will save headaches and time. in the future.
My suggestion is using https://www.revive-adserver.com/ . It's the newest iteration of phpadsnew, which I used to manage my ads years ago.

@ryanw Thank you for your input. We had piwik running some time but then all hell broke loose with the ddos attacks and the downtime. It got buried somewhere under redirects and proxies. Since some time I am nagging @haitch about it. :D It will be up for sure very soon again.
A-Ads on both websites is only a temporary thing and not as effective of course, as global impressions count and get rewarded. We are in negotiations and always open for new publishers. MellowAds has been just paying pennies...
The global backend like revive-adserver will come for sure with our growth rates. It's the way to go and I'm very optimistic about this asset long term as it is finally scaling as I am expecting. One or two months ago there was just not enough demand to have such a sophisticated back-end for the handful of possible publishers.
I know I haven't answered all your questions but haitch is here for you, too. :)

@daWallet Thank you for your reply, and I'm looking forward to what @haitch has to say. I too am very optimistic about this asset.
I would like to add one more suggestion. I have highlighted in the picture what I believe to be the most valuable adspace on the forum as it's designed right now. That little spot is $$$. I suggest trying out affiliate text links such as "8TB Mining Drive For $180" or whatever the best price you can find. With an adserver solution, this can be geotargetted as well. Autorefreshing of the ad space such as an iframe every minute or so could be implemented. Also, this would be a very lucrative spot to offer for direct sales.
Also, I know you probably don't like google services much after your account was dropped, but they still are the leader in website tracking. It also takes the load off of your server.

@ryanw The piwik links blew up when I had to move to the multi proxy setup to stop the site being taken down by the DDoS attacks. I haven't figured out the exact why's and wherefore's that Piwik broke yet, but will be back on it when I get home - out of town at the moment with dubious internet connectivity.

@haitch Ok. I know you two have other things on your plate, but I want to stress that building this out now will enable you to cash in on future traffic increases. Unfortunately, this isn't a set it and forget it thing. It's a lot of work tweaking ads and offers and seeing what works best. It's something you need to stay on top of constantly.

@ryanw daWallet is managing it due to my limited availability. We're doing our best to stay on top of it - but real life often interferes with crypto life.... Sorry.

I would like to also turn your attention to co-reg advertising possibilities. These are completely unobtrusive to the regular visitor of the forum. Basically, you add a little javascript to your forum registration code, and a person can check whether or not they want to sign up to an email list....that's it.
At the very least, this could possibly help fund a faucet. I wouldn't mind if some of my BURSTize dividends were used for faucet donations...We would have to see what everyone else thinks.
-
@ryanw Something we can look at, but the first issue would be just finding the registration code, second would be incorporating it.
-
@haitch Here are a couple places to start:
-
@haitch Forgot to add this one :)
https://www.npmjs.com/package/nodebb-plugin-custom-registration-fields
-
@haitch Also maybe another useful plugin to look at https://community.nodebb.org/topic/4337/nodebb-plugin-ns-custom-fields-ns-custom-fields
-
I also thought I'd ad a link to the android app development for NodeBB. Get this configured right, and many people would use it. It would expand the userbase of the forum, the burst community, and tt would be easy to put unobtrusive advertising on an app for Burstize...
