I do have one question. Say an advertiser bids 5 dollars for an ad spot. Is that 5 are distributed between every server that shows the add? How are earnings calculated basically.
i would like to know this aswell.
PS. when exactly do we earn money? Is it a CPC that immediately gives us earnings, or is it some other way such as it pays us every week or something?
PPS. is there any particular reason that it shows the same ad every time?
This seems like an absolutely awesome way to advertise. Your website looks great and it's completely functional and very easy to use.
Are you planning to branch out into picture ads for Minecraft server websites, or are you just planning to stick to text-based ads on servers?
Hi AeroUK,
For now we are sticking with text-based-in-game ads, but we might branch out at some point in the future if there's a market for it, although then we would be going head to head with google adwords and it's competitors. But it is definitely on our list to consider!

Hi TheAmericanBrit,
It is split percentage-wise, based on the number of clicks among the server owners who clicked on the ad during the day.
So, lets say the advertiser bids five dollars per day, and there are three servers who click on the ad during that day, the first two servers both have 2 out of the 5 clicks (40%) and both receive $2, the third server has one click out of the 5 (20%), and receives $1. That's a simple example of the system.

Hi dragonsjet,
PS: As stated above, you earn money for every click that originates from your server. Your earnings will be added to your account at the end of each day.
PPS: We currently only one advertisers who is advertising their services. The number will increase back to normal after the next few weeks (as we work on the major overhaul and leave the beta phase). Sorry for the delay.
Thanks for the reply. Also cool you got the stuff back up.
But we are just getting this same ad every 5 min, and when I asked my players if anyone has clicked it and viewed the page for around ~1 min, a few said yes, and we didn't get paid (checked dashboard). Not believing them, I viewed an ad to test it, stayed on the page for about 10 seconds = 0 payment.
I've got the server IP as the default one (not SRV masked or anything) and the auth token correct, but we aren't getting paid.
I've also tried using the SRV record IP and multiple restarts.
SRV Ip: play.mydomain.com
Normal IP: 184.234.23.whatever etc IPV4 address
Also, why don't you make it so that we can change our paypal email addresses to get paid to? #Suggestions
apperantly you get payed once per day for the previous day, i will find out tommorow i guess

Hi iM3shyS,
Earnings are calculated and added to your Adventurize balance at the end of each day.
You may change your paypal email address by clicking on your username in the upper right hand corner, and then clicking "Edit Profile".

Since we are still in the final beta phase, there are only a few advertisers running their ads, and thus the earnings are not the best at the moment. Just wanted to notify you all that we have multiple advertisers lined up to begin advertising with us as soon as we leave this final beta phase that we're working on now, so the earnings should skyrocket after release.
Currently have this on my server. I must say, it's a really good idea. However, I do have a question about this as I don't seem to fully understand it:
1) When my users click an ad, does the revenue get automatically credited to my account? Meaning if they click it, does it show up right-away on my Dashboard?

Hi ZyphiorNetwork,
The revenue will be automatically added to your account balance at the end of each day, so it won't show up immediately after they click it.

So when does a day start? Does it go off of local time? Currently it's 4:02AM where I am at. So at Midnight tonight the clicks will appear? Sorry for the questions. Just want to understand.

A) How does this work?
Why aren't any Ads showing?
C) What's the interval and how can I adjust this?
D) Can I test the Ads?
Hi TheAdexder,
A. How does this work? - Advertisers pay server owners through Adventurize for the privilege of placing ads (but not other servers ads!) on their server. . Adventurize is currently undergoing a major overhaul in preparation for its exit from beta, so at the moment we only have two advertisers advertising their services (we have many advertisers lined up to begin advertising after the 1.0 launch), and they are advertising to North America, and Europe - So if you reside outside of those two continents, you would not see an ad. C. The default interval is five minutes. This can be adjusted by going into the Adventurize plugins config.yml and changing the "Delay". D. Currently, if you don't reside in an area that has ads running, you will not see ads and it is impossible to test. A small part of the major overhaul is the ability for server owners to verify in-game that they have setup the plugin correctly, and then have the option to view a sample ad.
Hello,
I downloaded the plugin and set everything up and set the advertising delay for 5 minutes but they don't come.

Hang in there, we will be out of beta, and have you seeing ads and earning money shortly!

I am not seeing any ads at all in my server as OP. I joined as a Member on my other account and was seeing the ads just fine. Also, none of the other groups are seeing ads at all besides the default, Member group. Not sure what's going on.

THIS IS AWESOME! I earned $0.40 on my first day and you said that revenue will skyrocket from this?!?!? I AM SOOOOO EXCITED!
Oh, I just thought of something, are your filters also stopping people from advertising their enjin site or server website rather than just stopping them from advertising their server itself?

Cannot see any ads. It was working fine on my alternate account. However, I changed to my main account (Owner/OP) and am not seeing anything at all. Any reason for this? Also, I live in the United States.

Hi dragonsjet,
Glad you are earning a lot! Unfortunately the earnings go up and down now, once we launch they will balance out and go up tremendously. We're working as hard as possible to get to the launch pad!
We review all the ads that the filter flags, so if a mistake has been made, and someone is not trying to advertise a server, we approve the ad manually. So far, since the filter has been put in place, it has caught 100% of the server ads, and has only flagged a couple ads that were legit.

Hi Zyphior,
As an OP you (by default) have all the permission nodes, this includes the adventurize permission node that hides ads from users. Make sure that your user groups do not have the adventurize.hideads permission node.
i would like to know this aswell.

We are expecting to launch 1.0 within the next few weeks.
You earn money every time one of your users clicks an ad.
