The problem!❤️❤️
As we all know, Engagement mining cannot last forever. The $150 CPM is also temporary.
The entire mining is planned to effectively last for only four years.
Also, not every board is covered under Engagement mining, such boards do not have BBS inflows for its community members to cashout.
However, the best way for BBS site to grow further is not by just including more boards into Mining, but to help actual real Advertisers to find new boards they can advertise.
As if an advertiser finds a board attractive enough and decides to run Ad campaigns there, it would be equivalent to getting into engagement mining itself. And also it would be always better to have a constant inflow of money from global economies into the BBS ecosystem then constantly using up only the BBS set apart for mining, as it would just dilute prices.
Help Advertisers find you!
We need to have a much better index of all the boards /BBSes. Where each BBS owner can add some key words like CRYPTO, STOCKS, TECH, ADULT, etc. This will help advertisers to sort and look into various boards that they can potentially make more people to click into their ads. Just like google has trackers and shows you relevant Ads. Best part. it wont even invade your privacy this way!
Make advertisers feel their money is well spent!
Currently, Ads are only static elements placed at same spot. As a result, everyone has subconsciously learnt to not even look at them, first thing we do on clicking on a post is scrolling up the Ad away.
What i suggest is, the banner should be something that can be moved around. The publisher should be give an option while creating the post to add as many AD spots he wants, directly into his post.
Advantages :
- This will make subconsciously ignoring the post very difficult as it wont be static.
- It will incentivize publishers to be more creative about the ad placements, as they can earn more by drawing attention to it, and also double or triple the income by including multiple of these Ads if they have long enough post.
- This will also encourage more longer and informative, self made posts as to include more Ads.
- Also it will be possible, to create posts without any ADs at all, if publisher wants so.
Known Bugs and Issues!
If we include a direct link to a BBS post in the link dialog box, any user that sees the Ad and clicks on it, is directed to a blank page instead of the Post!
It takes to this blank page!A workaround to this problem is to user a link shortener and paste that link into the Link dialog box . This causes the Post link to be opened into a new tab and hence the problem of blank page is eliminated!
If you came along this far reading through, do not forget to leave a comment about what you think, infact even a single heart❤️ helps push the post into HOTS algorithm here on BBS.
Thank you😊❤️❤️❤️
