Please use this thread for any discussion, questions, or any other issue that you may have about the new Advertising announcement on ACC.

A staff member will always try to be around to help answer your questions.

Just curious, but what do you put in the Ad size section if your site is ad-free since all fields are required?

I believe that it is meant to be the size of the ad that you want to display on ACC.

Does that work the same way with Image URLS? And what exactly are they?

Basically, yes. Ads are small images that I assume will be displayed on ACC linking to your site.

Does ACC receive revenue from Ads just from displaying them, or only if they are clicked by its members? Because if it is the latter, I'll be clicking on them like a madwoman in support for ACC.

Thanks!

It's a little of both.  There are CPC ads (cost per click), and CPM (cost per mille, or cost per one thousand views).  Most of what's on Adsense is CPC.

But be aware that Google is able to filter out people they think are "abusing" the system.  While I certainly appreciate your support, the best is just to treat them as you normally would, and just click them if you have genuine interest in what the ad is advertising.

Will do, thanks!
I'll have a lot of interest in ads right now, since those Gaga ones showed up.

Hey. I was interested in getting an ad a little while ago and just have some questions.

1. When we do get it, where will they be displayed?
2. Average costs? Where can I possibly find them?
3. What is the average visits and clicks for each ad on ACC per day?

Thanks!

Edit: Edited question.

I have a couple of questions

- Does/will ACC accept Pay Pal for payment?
- The ads are not through Google AdSense correct?
- Are they paid for directly through ACC?
- Would ACC accept an ad from another Animal Crossing fan site?

Thanks you!

Just wondering, but who mainly checks the advertisment requests?  Is it Jader or can it be any other staff member?

Does/will ACC accept Pay Pal for payment?

Yeah, that's the only form of payment I accept.

The ads are not through Google AdSense correct?

Correct.  I use Google DFP to manage the ads, though.  It determines when to show directly sold ads vs. AdSense ads.

Are they paid for directly through ACC?

No, they will be paid through PayPal.

Would ACC accept an ad from another Animal Crossing fan site?

Possibly.  I touched on this above, but basically, it depends on what the site does.  If it does something that we currently don't do, and don't plan on ever doing, then it wouldn't be considered a "competitor".  But if it does do similar things, it may be considered a competitor, and thus the request may get rejected.

Who mainly checks the advertisment requests? Is it Jader or can it be any other staff member?

Yeah, I will be the one to check them and respond to them.

I have a question.

I contacted a mod on another forum about this, but before I continue to go any further on this, is the budget and pricing model absolutely necessary for this?

"I contacted a mod on another forum about this, but before I continue to go any further on this, is the budget and pricing model absolutely necessary for this?"

What other way would you/ they like to pay? I assume that those two options were chose because they are the most convenient for a majority of people.
Some people would rather pay every 1000 clicks, giving them more time to gather the money needed to pay, other would rather pay every time somebody clicks the ad.

In general, if you are not earning an income from your site, advertising it on ACC may not be an option for you.  This is really meant for people who have online businesses that want to advertise with ACC.

However, if you somehow have the money to afford advertising ($50/month minimum), then you're more than welcome to send a request.

EDIT: But to answer your question, yes, both of those are required.  If you don't know which pricing model you want, and don't have a monthly budget, you probably shouldn't send a request anyway.

K gotcha. I'll see what they'll say and maybe get back to you Jader.

Oh, another thing. The forum I'm talking about allows for words to be said like the A word, the B word, the D word etc etc. We censor the more serious curses like the F word but would stuff like that factor your decision on letting the site be advertised here?

It probably would not work since it said in Jader's Thread he posted a while back that Ads must be family friendly [including content].

Does the advertiser get charged for having the AD on ACC? if so, how much?

Jader said advertising here is AT LEAST $50

My questions didn't get answers.

Thankyou.

"1. When we do get it, where will they be displayed?"

Where the current ads are. Jader said Google DFP decides when to show your ads vs. AdSense ads.

"2. Average costs? Where can I possibly find them?"

$50/month minimum.

Thankyou!

Are the Advertisers gonna get stars by there name? Is paying for the site considered Donating?

No, you are paying so that your website is being advertised on ACC. Your "reward", so to speak, is the advertisement itself.

NVM, figured it out.
