1. What’s different about admine?
From the advertisers’ view, it’s really simple:
- Users set their interests, so you get an audience that is seeking your message and has a positive frame of mind
- If you post an ad before October 1, 2011, you get to run that ad free for 6 months.
- Whenever you post an ad, you ALSO get a free page within admine to post whatever other messages you want (Note: These messages cannot be ads for products or services; all advertising and other postings are subject to screening and approval by admine. admine may decline to post or may remove any posting according to its sole discretion. Other terms and conditions apply.)
2. Why should I advertise on a site that blocks ads?
- Because the users who are truly interested in your messages SEEK YOUR MESSAGE. They don’t block YOU. admine does not block everything. It is a tool to allow users to receive what they want.
- Your reach is real and efficient. Instead of spraying your message over the universe and getting a low yield, you get a prequalified audience. Interested users can find you instead of you being lost in the morass of useless clutter.
- Users hate getting bombarded and clogged with ads they don’t want to receive. Instead, you build goodwill by recognizing the users real interests
- You get an exclusive presentation. If you choose, you can guarantee an exclusive presentation to interested users for a period of time.
3. Other internet networks screen users on the basis of the users’ online history. Why is admine better?
- The screening model is a poor approximation of what users actually want to see. Here’s the question: Do YOU like to see all those ads that occupy YOUR screen?? Probably not. With admine users declare their interests in advance.
- Those other networks thrive on the number of users they claim to provide the advertiser, more-so than on the quality of those views. So advertisers like you bid up the priced for a finite amount of real estate. admine simply asks users to identify their interests. So the market is lower volume, but much higher yield.
- With admine, you pay for the clicks generated by your messages, just like the others. The difference is in the quality of the click.
4. I will probably reach the admine users anyway, with my traditional approach.
No, you won’t. We don’t think so.
- For starters, users hate advertising that bombards them.
- Now, because tracking cookies are under attack, your yield will be even lower, and users will have an even greater dislike for the irrelevant messages that reach them. You need a better tool that starts relationship with users in a positive way. That’s what admine does.
- Admine blocks all of that material so user’s experience is uninterrupted by those distractions. The only reliable way to reach them is respond to their DECLARED interests.
5. I want to get more viewings of my ad. Can I do this by listing it in more categories?
- On admine, an ad may be associated with a maximum of 3 categories.
- This is because users select interests by category. Users want to receive messages that are highly relevant.
- Advertisers need to build trust with users, and this is one of the important benefits of the admine category selection method.
- In the long run, when advertisers meet the user need for relevance, this builds credibility for the advertising industry, the user and the advertiser.
6. Why does admine pay users to click on ads?
- We believe that the user provides the value. They provide the resources that make the internet a value creation tool. So users should share in the reward created by their contribution.
- For example, users buy their hardware, software, internet access through ISP’s and DSL lines, and so on. It’s THEIR screen and THEIR time that gets used by the advertiser.
- Consider this: If you own a parking garage, you can lease spaces to drivers. Would you approve if half of your garage was used by those who refused to pay? Or who didn’t even ask permission? We think not. That’s the situation users find themselves in today.
7. But admine does not pay users to click on every ad, do you? Why not?
- admine pays users for approximately half the clicks (If the user wants to get paid, she sets up an account within admine. This is where the payments are deposited.) The actual number of payments depends on the interests selected by the user, whether the user chooses to click an eligible message, and a variety of other factors.
- Consider again the parking analogy: In earlier times, before roads and cities were so busy, there was seemingly unlimited free parking. Now, fees are required in many locations, but not all spaces require a fee. Similarly, some admine clicks pay a fee, some do not.
8. If a user receives my ad, but doesn’t like it, how will I know?
- admine gathers like/dislike information about ads. Each ad gives users a chance to register their views, and they can comment if they choose to do so. admine gives advertisers access on a real-time basis to the information that pertains to its ads.
9. Can a user block an ad, company or brand from reaching them? Or do they need to block an entire category?
- admine tools are very specific. Users can block (or allow) ads on the basis of key words they contain. So for example if they want to see laptops, but prefer to exclude a specific brand, they can prevent that brand from intruding on their experience.
- This is one reason it is important to know and respect user desires when you advertise on admine.
10. My image doesn’t get accepted by the system. Why not? There are two possibilities.
- First, be sure your image is entered in one of the accepted formats: .jpg, .gif, .png, or .swf
- Then, if your image format is correct but still not accepted, check the size of the image. Your image might be too large on one or both dimensions. Remember, admine accepts images that are smaller on one or both dimensions, but cannot accommodate images that are too large.
11.
Can I advertise for free on admine? If so, how do I qualify?
- Yes, for an introductory period, you may place one ad free for six months
- To qualify, you must place your ad before October 1, 2011, create an account, and agree with admine terms-of-service
- That ad will then run for 6 months from the date of placement. (Of course, you may run it for a shorter period if you choose).
12.
I want to discontinue an ad that is running, even though it still has some budget remaining.
- On the Ad Management page, click on the ad you want to stop. Click the “stop ad” button. Select a reason and enter a note if you like and click “stop ad”. The unused portion of your payment will remain in your account credit and can be used toward future ads.
13.
What is the admine network?
- The admine network is a method for reaching admine users while they are surfing the net.
- It is a network of sites who participate with admine, like the principles admine uses, and welcome advertising we place on their site.
- One defining aspect of the admine Network is that each ad placed allows users to provide feedback on any ad we place concurrently with the appearance of the ad. (This method is Patent Pending).
14.
How do you pay the sites who affiliate with the admine network?
- Whenever an ad is placed on a site within the network, it is credited to the affiliate the moment it is clicked.
- Sites value this, because they can receive revenue that was unavailable to them before. They get paid by admine, plus they can continue to receive revenue in their traditional way, (from Advertisers who do not use the admine network).
15.
I represent a Non-Profit organization. Can we qualify for free advertising too?
- Yes, but it is even better than that! admine and MyBox LLC support non profits.
- You get 6-months free advertising when you enroll, PLUS…
- admine users can direct all or any portion of their earnings account to your organization for payment;
- If you alert your members or your mailing list to this opportunity, you may find a meaningful source of income.
16. What is "My Page" and how does it work?
"My Page" allows you to have your own company page on admine. Here you can talk about your company and post announcements, news, coupons, offers and other information about your company.
End-users can read about your company and ask you questions. From this page you can view and participate in all discussions about your company and your ads.
