Everyone involved in digital advertising knows that a truly effective effort revolves around a three-pronged idea: reaching the right audience with the right message at the right time.

If Aquaman were an advertiser, he’d use his Trident Of Neptune as a symbol of successful and result-giving advertising.  Superheroes aside, affiliates have their own set of abilities that grant them near-superpowers when it comes to delivering high levels of ROI through campaign management and optimization. One of those abilities is working with a user-friendly, high-quality traffic source that allows them to acquire qualified traffic and impact their audience all the way down to what matters – conversions.

We think SelfAdvertiser fits like a glove in this story and would like to show you how.

Easy To Sign Up

The process is as simple as it can get: you click the “Start Now” button (if you’re browsing our homepage) or the more traditional “Sign up” button, and there’s a form to fill out. We require only the basic details: first and last name, email address, password, and that’s it. Naturally, users need to verify their email (we wouldn’t dream of skipping this step), and once done, they are logged in and ready to do some business. You’ll find another email in your inbox, welcoming you to the fold and letting you know that your account has been activated and you can now start managing your advertising campaigns. That is also the first time you will meet your dedicated account manager, whom you can contact for help at any time.

First Use

SelfAdvertiser is well known as one of the strictest platforms in the industry. We’ve been in the business for over ten years now, and we’ve grown by tailoring the solution we offer to our customers’ needs. Being strict and tough on fraud is a large part of that effort, which is why the first thing you see when you log in is our Compliance Policy. Advertising is a two-way street where both advertisers and publishers need to be on the same side – delivering great user experience. As a business that’s smack in the middle of that relationship, we do our part and let users know from the start what’s in off-limits for them. Whenever an advertisement includes any spoofing, redirecting, or trafficking from adult-related website, as well as whenever an ad or website contains pornographic, racial, ethnic, software pirating (e.g., Warez) or hacking, hate-mongering, or otherwise objectionable, fraudulent, illegal or non-permitted content, access will be denied to that account, with possible legal action against such user and/or financial compensation.

With that all sorted out, you are ready to create your first campaign. SelfAdvertiser has a simple walk-through that will help you proceed from creating an account to go live in a matter of minutes. You can set up your first campaign within a single page, reflecting an easy-to-use mode we aim for – a short and intuitive process. Our platform’s dashboard allows quick and convenient orientation even for novice users.

It’s important to note that when you first use your new account, you’ll be asked to make an initial deposit. First-time payment must be at least $100, transferred via PayPal or a credit card. For added convenience, you can also contact us to pay via wire transfer. After your first-time deposit, subsequent payments have a minimum requirement of $50, but our “Daily budget per source” option allows you to limit the daily budget per source to as low as $10.

What You Get with our Self-Service Platform

The main takeaway from the first use of our platform is the ability to get a campaign up and running in minutes and obtain high-quality traffic for your offer in a short time. That means there is no need for you to be an absolute expert to achieve success with SelfAdvertiser. What you do need is to know all the bells and whistles we provide so you could make winning campaigns.

We work with over 20,000 direct publishers in multiple verticals (e-commerce, utilities, finance, biz-ops, travel, apps, games, etc.). With our ads having 2 billion daily ad impressions and tens of millions of active users worldwide, we almost guarantee 100% fill rate and global reach to your target audience. And the audience is indeed targeted. You can filter it by device, browser, operating system by different versions, or connection type (carrier, wi-fi, a combination of two or specific carriers). As for campaign targeting, you have the choice of positive keyword targeting where you can target content, domains, and subdomains to reach the relevant audience, and negative keyword targeting that excludes specific keywords and domains that you don’t want to reach to avoid an irrelevant audience.

To top it all off, we implement intelligent ad optimization technology to make your online advertising easy, efficient, and consistent. Our self-service platform includes advanced fraud detection and anti-malware protection measures, delivering a genuine market value by using a CPM model that is both flexible and transparent. Speaking of transparency, our Inventory feature provides an overview of our available traffic so you can make more informed and accurate decisions when choosing the targeting of your campaign. By using this feature, you can see our traffic volume filtered by device or operating system, get the number of daily impressions and average CPM bid for each geo, along with the top carriers for each geo. In addition, there are also updated keyword inventories per geo and volume per geo.
