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.

What is your real opinion?

Image
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...

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.

Data-Assists for Advertisers are Fair-Trade for Users

Image
Application of real-time data to buy some component of programmatic media is useful compared to most platforms that execute 100% of media buys in retrospect. The cookie is widely used after the 'horse has bolted', in retrospect, which explains why many ads keep appearing well after a purchase or interaction. AdFreeway introduced data-assists which are an instance of user provided, prospective data obtained during a programmatic advertising campaign that is associated with an advertisers desired outcome for their ad impression. These data-assists are reported as an event of the impression which is reported to advertisers and the user, with payment. It works because votes discover cohort identifiers that cluster with the voter. The discovered identifiers are rarely in the advertisers audience and the voted ad unit is rapidly delivered on the first available brand-safe impression. This just-in-time approach discovers new customers, ensures freshness and a responsiveness that gives...

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 b...

Predictive Analytics Optimize Media Buying

Image
A campaign with Yonder Media South Africa, for KFC is among several that demonstrates AdFreeway's capacity to interpret real-time content voting that predicts and automates programmatic media buying. All media was purchased via The Trade Desk.  AdFreeway presented each of three creatives, for different products to users of its social feed to obtain opinions. A maximum one vote could be cast per user/creative. Each voter caused a dynamic selection from a cohort of millions of inter-connected audience identifiers to be targeted. From these identifiers connected during the campaign bids were prioritized to serve an identifiers' predicted creative preferences. The voting dynamic and interconnections modified predictions in near real-time. This delivered incrementally to the audience and new customers were qualified by significantly lower CPA's and 2 x ROAS. The above table of AdFreeway campaign scores were based on CPA and other performance metrics. This demonstrates that (far ...

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
