AdFusion Boards (aka adboards) for Publishers
Earning Money By Being an Advertisement Publisher
Almost everyone who has a parcel and visitor traffic has thought about setting up some type of advertising revenue stream to convert traffic to L$. Banners, kiosks and advertising boards (adboards) are obvious choices.
There are some traditional solutions found in Second Life for setting up your own advertising boards (also often called as Adboards). All of them have their own disadvantages and the most serious is that you have to search for advertisers yourself. Ever wandered around a sim filled with empty “rent me” boards scattered around? This isn’t a good way to sell your business. In addition, adboard owners face other very serious obstacles:
- Lack of statistics
- Distrust and circumspection of potential advertisers
- The existing solutions are not free
- Overhead of communication and servicing of advertisers
AdFusion Advertising Program
Our AdFusion advertising program addresses these challenges and helps you to maximize your earnings with advertising space.
Essentially, AdFusion is a marketing engine which allows advertisers and publishers to find each other. It provides all the necessary tools for detailed statistical reporting and profit trends.
An AdFusion advertisement is based on the pay-per-click principle, meaning that you do not need to convince advertisers of the traffic flow and quality in your parcel. Pay-per-click also means that publishers are paid immediately after someone clicks on the AdFusion board.
Publishers get a large list of features and benefits while working with the AdFusion system:
- support for different formats which can suit any requirements;
- ability to install unlimited number of boards and effectively control them;
- exhaustive statistics on each Board, each day and each visitor of your land;
- all AdFusion services are FREE for publishers. You are here to earn money and not to spend, right?
Statistics
The publisher's statistics includes information on every installed adboard, along with some unique data like the number of views of advertisements on your boards, the number of clicks and summary click-ratio (CTR). It's also possible to see the average cost of each of your visitors (traffic conversion), and compare the effectiveness of different AdFusion board formats and possible placements.
Earnings and Payments
Publishers receive 50% of the click price set by advertisers (the other 50% is distributed between the originator account, special bonus payments and our system to maintain and develop the program).
Your money becomes visible in your earnings balance right after our system recalculates the period statistics! This usually it takes from 1 to 6 hours.
More Earnings?
It's possible to earn more with your AdFusion boards, especially if your land is often visited by other business owners.
We provide you 10% of the earnings of anyone that you refer to and who register with the SL Business Directory. It's very simple to recommend the SL Business Directory and the AdFusion program: just turn on the appropriate flag for one of your boards, and we'll start displaying AdFusion information on your boards. Every business owner who clicks this board will automatically be added to your referral list.
In summary, you’ll never again have to run all over SL and spam other residents with your invitations. Let your land to work for you, in every way.
How Can I Join the Program?
To join the program, you just have to create an account at the SL Business directory, and register your business there. Then you can get any number of AdFusion boards of any format, and install them on your land. The advertisement modules will start displaying on your boards, and you start to earn money!
