I signed up for your newsletter.

I might not be the typical user, but since you're trying to embrace an international market, you might want to add support for Bitcoin as a currency.

I see that this is a service that helps you create advertisements, but I don't see anything about where the advertisements go.

I'm a newb when it comes to the online advertising space. All the acronyms (PPC, CPC, etc) and economics that power the whole thing make me avoid placing any ads because I can never get an intuitive feel if my money is being wasted or not.

Edit: Some more thoughts... If you do add a section for site owners who are wanting to place advertisements on their page, make sure to focus on things like the ability to control the CSS of the ad so the fonts look good.

Does anyone know if Google might accidentally see ads like these as being linkspam?

Hi Deftnerd,

Thanks for your feedback, it is greatly appreciated.

Bitcoin would certainly make things easier from a currency perspective and I imagine there are other benefits too. I will investigate it as an option.

The advertisements are just plain HTML and can be worked into your site anywhere you please. Perhaps it isn't super clear but the site owners are the ones who define the advertisements, not the advertisers. This means that the site owners fully control how the ads look and what information is collected.

Google linkspam isn't something I'd thought about, thank you for bringing it up. I'm not entirely familiar with how Google treats such things but I will look into it. If anyone has anything to suggest that would be fantastic.

It should be enough to place those links as "nofollow"

Thanks trienthusiast, I will look into it further :)
