Why Advertise through AdFreeway on the Open Web?

Image
We're excited to announce AdFreeway's Advertising Hub  ( https://business.adfreeway.com ). It's for direct advertisers, to obtain the same marketing advantage of agencies and bigger clients using AdFreeway's media buying platform.  Going beyond traditional targeting categories like, age, gender etc. our Open Web platform takes a giant-leap forward by generating additional pre-targeted ID's for your categorized audience. These additions emanate from a real-time, continuous stream of insightful, creative-specific, vote preferences that are acquired from SocialAF members.  This advanced precision allows us to accurately target and engage potential customers, increasing the effectiveness of your ad impressions. Each performance enhancement, to each ad impression, is reported to advertisers, the SocialAF members whose data directly contributed and AdFreeway rewards are issued accordingly.  AdFreeway campaigns are delivered across the Open Web on 200,000+ different web si

What is your real opinion?

We don't think its possible that vote after vote a person can 'like' every upload they see. Sometimes scrolling through and voting on hundreds or thousands of uploads a user will vote like or dislike without changing opinion. If you constantly feedback thoughtless, monotonous voting patterns, our algorithms suspect you are not a human and your earnings may be penalized. A similar problem occurs when our algorithms process applications for a new account. Sometime we see patterns that do not support that a human is behind the voting. This occurs when either likes or dislikes are unusually dominant that you appear as a bot. Often accounts will be placed into a holding pattern until they demonstrate clearly that there is a human applicant present. We urge you to be more thoughtful about your voting and assist the entire community to judge and determine the content uploads that the next AdFreeway users will see. Your participation is important to us us, to advertisers and your f

Help yourself be seen on Ad Networks

Image
How to allow cross site/app tracking AdFreeway must be able to serve ads to our registered users and advertiser audiences. If we can’t do that then we can’t improve campaign performances which finance the rewards that benefit our members. Some of your phones and browsers might have settings configured to prevent the receipt of these ads which is impacting your visibility on Ad Networks and therefore, impacting your ability to earn and redeem. To become more visible on the Ad Network follow the steps below: Enable Cross-Site Tracking on your phone      iPhone Users Go to Settings on your iOS device Find Safari in your Settings menu Scroll down to Privacy & Security section, and ensure the Prevent Cross-Site Tracking slider is off     Android phone Users: Open Chrome application on your Android phone Tap on More right by the address bar, and go to Setting Go to the Privacy and Security tab Tap the Do Not Track option, and ensure the setting is off Enable Cross-Site Tracking on your c

Distinguished Users

Image
Our highest earning users are often present across different web sites or applications. They visit  AdFreeway.com to vote regularly, with variance between likes and dislikes and upload their daily allocation with attention to quality. These serious users are intent to make the most of our algorithms and they demonstrate a clear understanding of its rules. We continuously recruit new users to the AdFreeway platform and do our best to algorithmically dissuade those who flaunt these rules. Quick hit users looking for fast-bucks won't steadily increase their earnings and those who signup just for a bonus are less likely to become influential.  Some users have also earned advertising click-rewards, a lucrative reward category that is activated when advertisers run campaigns in conjunction with data from the AdFreeway platform. Advertising agencies require quality data and that can only come from users who have a quality track-record within the AdFreeway platform. Over time, as we build

Wasting Uploads!

Image
A few tips about uploads may help improve your earnings. Its important that uploads and voting continue to be attractive to other users to help increase the size of AdFreeway's global audience and reward pool. The reward pool is increased when new users are approved to use social and earn. As that takes place, users can also increase their individual share of earnings. The reward icons displayed when voting indicate whether the uploader will receive a reward along with the voter. If the dislike ratio on the upload is too high, the uploader will stop being rewarded.  So, be sure to upload only those files you believe will perform well and continue to receive a reward. Reward the voter only! One reward for the voter and one for the uploader

Advertising - The Gift That Keeps Giving

Image
Adfreeway has simplified cookiless user clustering and reduced overly invasive practises to collect large amounts of data at great expense to user privacy. This reflects the double edged benefit of AdFreeway's effective approach, which is best summed up by the comment  Carlos Alija at MullenLowe US made after  the recent Australian Open Tennis mens championship final.  The quest for data to predict your every next move and the competition to get it right, just in time is overwhelming, yet the output continues to fail us. Alternatively the speed at which a willing participant can inform content (advertising) distribution is faster and more accurate. This is why AdFreeway innovated its user-driven platform to address advertisings first problem, finding the advertisers audience and growing it.  AdFreeway's platform delivers on two essential requirements, user opinions that produce advertising identifiers at a speed beyond predictive computations. When we first discovered this, we

Social Media That Pays

Image
AdFreeway will soon be inviting selected users to test the roll out of its social content network - with a twist. Initially, no messaging, no profiles, just content uploads. Reward tokens will be earned for the upload, for votes on uploaded content and a token commission will be paid to the uploader for votes their content receives.  Development Screenshot This will significantly increase opportunities to earn new tokens in addition to AdFreeway managed advertising campaigns - no more waiting for new ads. AdFreeway social is entirely driven by human interaction, not some artificial intelligence second guessing your next move. As some of you already know, its not that easy to get an approved account because AdFreeway must first be able to serve an ad to you when you visit and use other web sites or applications. Once advertising to you has been successful, your account application will automatically be approved. Then, you're in the system and can begin redeeming tokens for rewards t

Demystifying Data Mining

Image
Thanks to our guest contributor Michael Lieberman.  Michael Lieberman Multivariate Solutions A little knowledge can be very powerful in the hands of marketers. Data mining is a powerful set of methodologies that when successfully applied will increase business revenue, cuts costs, or result in other actions to improve the bottom line. Data mining exercises are deployed to make decisions about marketing strategies, new product promotion, and to compare and contrast among competitors. Data mining knowhow is not new; however, the buzzword “data mining” is relatively new. Companies have long used statistics and database systems to extract valuable information from data sets. Today, innovations in artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer processing power, storage, data warehousing, and statistical software are dramatically increasing analysis accuracy while driving down costs. The intent of data mining is to identify correlations or patterns among multiple fields in large relatio

Who wants more rewards?

Image
We want to run more ad campaigns for advertisers in South Africa and around the world to bring you more vote and click rewards. If you've received rewards already and you want reward opportunities to increase you can help by sending encouraging messages on social media pages or to web sites to your favorite brands. It will be a big help to us and will increase the number of advertising campaigns we can offer rewards on.  You may not be aware that you are eligible to receive local and international click-rewards, but only local vote-rewards on AdFreeway advertising campaigns run in the country you live. The reason is that voters must be sensitized to local market conditions in order that their voting patterns are relevant for local advertisers. This relevance helps AdFreeway to serve the right ads to the right people at the right time. However, web sites you have visited that are in common with people in international markets could keep you earning click-rewards. Other than voting,

Breaking in the rules - Uniqueness

Image
AdFreeway will always value members who are unique individuals. However, we will also go to great lengths to filter and remove any applicants or members that are found not to be unique or are associated with fraudulent IP or email addresses. The reason for this is simple. We rely on a network of registered users whose opinions on ads can have meaningful impact to AdFreeway ads delivered via ad exchanges. In addition to the opportunities to vote and earn, registered members will also be eligible to receive bonuses from click-rewards. We intend that  these additional click-rewards will eventually become the more significant earnings component. They are sponsored by AdFreeway and its advertisers for the benefit of registered members who have played a direct or indirect role delivering ads to active audiences via AdFreeway's AdGraph algorithms.  Look out for your first click-reward, we will notify you by email when that takes place. Please be patient, as more advertisers adopt AdFreewa

How do I earn from other peoples clicks?

Image
It pays to vote and register at AdFreeway. Why is that? Because your registration allows you to keep earning from future ad campaigns whether you vote in those campaigns or not. We have already shown our registered users that, even after one year their connections in our AdGraph remain as relevant to current advertising campaigns and therefore their potential to earn continues. Initially we connect your temporary advertiser ID to other ID's based on associated URL's collected during our frequent attempts to buy and deliver you advertising impressions. Once you vote and register your URL's become permanent and can provide ongoing, important links in our AdGraph. These links may connect a vote preference to ID's to enhance the delivery of advertiser messages. In the image above like or dislike votes for the blue, brown or green ads can preferentially inform which ad to serve to which ID's, based on their URL overlaps with other ID's that are more likely to agree a

AdFreeway - Rewarding for audiences and advertisers.

Image
We set out to socialize display media. To do so we spent two years testing an opinion and reward ad-graph to see if it would improve response. We build an algorithm to value and reward all opinions, but also to decide which opinions should prevail and earn more. Our ads continuously invite and reward audiences for instincts by voting on A, B or C ad-campaign creatives that inform ad-delivery and improve campaign performance. Like or dislike votes are associated with similar audiences in our databases and applied competitively to serve A and/or B and/or C ads to other users. Voters collect an instant, unconditional reward and additional performance rewards. An A, B or C ad served to similar audiences always entitles an originating voter to an additional performance reward when an ad recipient clicks the ad. If the voters’ vote is uniquely associated with the audience the voter receives the full reward value or it is shared by other voters with identical votes who are also in the identic
