In Beta Now: AdultAdsPro
A Tracking, Optimization & Automation Platform for Direct Response Adult Marketing/Media Buys



We Need Beta Testers!

We just launched www.adultadspro.com yesterday, and I'm inviting you guys to come beta test this bad boy. We need your help and feedback!

We've got by far the largest ad network integrated so far (ExoClick), but we've got several more in the pipeline, with EroAds having officially confirmed already.

Everything is 100% free, with zero obligations to sign up or pay after the beta. And when we go out of beta, anyone on it will get an additional 30-days free as part of the normal trial period. Our only goal is the make the product that manufactures higher ROIs with less time, designed specifically for you. I feel bad for your competition!

We're dying to hear your feedback and suggestions! If you've heard of or used www.pofpro.com, then you know the dedication we have to product. AdultAdsPro is an entirely different beast that has evolved into a complete monster since POFpro.

Help us create the most badass tool for adult buys in the market.

Please Note: Sounds like some sort of PR scheme, but we're trying to stay out of the press for at least another week or so. So please don't write about it yet. Just want to test it with a small community first .


To Access, Create an Account

If you don't have 1 already, create an account with us at https://accounts.ipyxel.com/signup.

1. After you've confirmed your email, log in at https://accounts.ipyxel.com/login and click on the AdultAdsPro product button.
   
   
2. To download the installation package, scroll down to the download button.
   
   
3. There is a .pdf in the installation package that goes over the easy installation process.
   
   
4. You can also fill out the form at the bottom of that page for a $29 professional installation if you don't want to do it yourself. If you have any other special needs, please don't hesitate to submit a support ticket.

Note: AdultAdsPro is best used with Chrome.


Quick Overview of the Interface

I apologize we don't have any video tutorials yet, but if I know beta signups, I know that you're savvy enough to get up and running quickly via our easy-to-use interface. If you run into any questions, don't hesitate to submit a support ticket.

You'll need to invest some time in learning how it works, but I PROMISE you, once you do, even the basic foundation we've built here will surpass your expectations.

Here's a basic overview of the main pages, nonetheless:

• Dashboard - When you first log in, Dashboard contains all the most important information about your portfolio. You'll see a splash modal come up that has the features you need first.
  
  
• Link Traffic Source - In the splash modal, you'll want to link up your ExoClick account first by going to "Manage Traffic Sources". This establishes a secure connection between your software and ExoClick account similar to how Mint does for bank accounts.
  
  
• Import/Create Campaign - Then what you'll want to do is probably import some of your existing campaigns. We have an import wizard that takes you step by step from scratch. You can also create a new campaign. Please note that custom campaigns that your account manager setup for you might experience issues importing. Please let us know.
  
  
• Campaigns - The main campaigns page (as well as other pages) are accessible via the left nav bar. This page lists all your campaigns.
  
  
• Individual Campaigns - From the main campaigns page, you can click into each campaign and see details. Note the horizontal nav bar at the top that allows you to 1) see the general info of the campaign, 2) manage goals and landing page rotations, and 3) manage your sites and creatives.
  
  
• Goals/Landing Pages - These pages, accessible from the left nav bar, is a catalog of the unique goals and landing pages that you've created in AdultAdsPro. They can be grouped to your liking. Once created, they are available for campaigns to use in their rotations. You can create new goals & landing pages from these pages, or you can do so as you're creating a new campaign or going through the import wizard.
  
  
• Job Queue - This is where various jobs will appear such as create/importing campaigns, making mass bid adjustments, and other batch automation jobs.
  
  
• Archives - We don't ever permanently delete campaigns. When you don't need a campaign anymore, simply archive it. It saves system resources and it keeps your portfolio clean. You can always un-archive from this page.
  
  
• Tracking - This is where you get your post-back URL or image/iframe pixels for conversion tracking. You can also manually upload sub IDs and check your click/conversion log.

Upcoming Features

We've built an incredible foundation here, but we've got SO much more planned ahead. Here are just a few things:

• Day-Parting - Granular stats by the hour, by the day of the week. Pre-schedule campaigns so they automatically turn on and off at the most optimal times based on real data.
  
  
• Auto-optimization Algorithms - If you're familiar with our previous product, we're getting rid of "Hurdles". We're going to allow you to sequence your own custom algorithms that perform auto-optimization exactly how you want to as a creative progresses and gains impressions.
  
  
• Additional Traffic Sources - Of course, we're not done with just ExoClick. We've confirmed EroAdvertising, but we have verbals from 4 additional networks.
  
  
• Mobile Detection & Redirection - Mobile-specific detection (device, OS, carrier) and redirection that you can turn on and off.
  
  
• Crazy magic to reduce redirect times even more that NO other tracker has yet implemented.

Lobby Your Favorite Network

Want to see your favorite ad network integrated? If you find the software potential fantastical, it would go a LONG way if you just lightly lobbied your favorite traffic source for us. We're already in talks with most of the major ones, but it certainly doesn't hurt to hear that their advertisers are demanding this tool. They need to hear it!

Thank you everyone for all the continued support.

---

Sounds really interesting , let's give it a go!

---

Nice interface design! What makes it special for adult traffic?

---

Thanks Jordan!

The huge value add of this is it is fully integrated with the ad network's self-serve inventory.

Which means, you'll be able to do everything, from bulk uploading, to editing campaigns to tracking, to optimizing, through our platform to access multiple ad networks without logging into any of their interfaces.

You still have your self-serve account at these networks, and you simply connect them to the software, which sits on your own server. We don't mark-up any inventory or anything like that. You still deal with the networks directly and we just provide a technology layer.

What this allows us to do is be able to track a more granular and more accurate set of data. ROI on each creative is accurately tracked automatically. You'll get day-parting (ROIs for hours of the day/days of the week) data even for networks that don't have day-parting.

There's no messing around with click-through URLs or anything like that. Everything just works automatically.

The first revelation that people get is like: "Huh, my creative ROI is just...there...without any effort. Wow."

Then, it easily allows you to rotate in different landing pages and offers and create multiple paths.

The most exciting feature we are working on right now is the Auto-Optimization part.

We're going to allow you create your own custom "algorithms". One of the algorithms you can create is for optimizing creatives in a campaign.

There are 2 types of algorithms for creatives: Phase I for testing, and Phase II for maintenance.

For a Phase I algorithm, you can create multiple rules for it. For example:

1) Check to see if there is a click at 2,000 impressions, if not then pause
2) Check CTR at 5,000 impressions, if <0.1%, then pause
3) Check ROI at 8,000 impresssions, if <0%, then pause
etc.

So, as you can see, you can dictate the lifecycle of an ad. You feed new ads into the algorithms you create, and on the other end, only the successful ads remain. You can optimize sites similarly as they gather more than more data.

Then, with Phase II algorithms, you can set ad rotations and monitor overall health. If they lose $x amount for a number of days, you can set them to pause.

So, the whole idea is bring everything full circle in 1 system:
1) seamless integration with networks to create a point of automatic campaign generation
2) granular tracking of data without piecing together a bunch of reports in Excel
3) automating the optimization process in response to the data collected

Any more specific questions on it, please feel free to ask!

This looks pretty powerful, I will definitely give it a try later this week.

Do you have an estimate as to when TJ integration will be available?

---

I can't give an estimate on that unfortunately because Manwin has been pretty slow to correspond with.

It would help us a LOT I think if you asked them the question: "When are you guys going to be integrated with AdultAdsPro?"

It's going to let them know that people do demand on this, and it's not just our own claims. I know for a fact we can make TJ a lot more powerful if we can get the integration down.

Thanks in advance!

---

Tom,

That's quite possibly the slickest looking tracker out there. If you were to build this out as universal platform, I'm sure you could dominate the self-hosted space.

---

looks awesome man

boom

---

Looks really impressive.

Only a small percentage of my traffic goes through Exoclick at the moment, but I'd gobble this up for breakfast if you secure the deals with the other big networks. That sounds like the biggest challenge given that a lot of affiliates are splintered across a lot of different networks.

Will check it out this week and let you know my thoughts...

---

Thank you! It was certainly talked about, but 1) the universal tracker doesn't reduce media buying down to how simple, and more powerful, I think should be, and 2) there are so many solutions out there now that we wanted to do something truly value-add.

I don't think it would be hard to do it though once we've got everything figured out. It's a much more simpler version of this, basically.

Thanks dude, always appreciate your 'booms' and encouragement

Thanks a lot! Would love to hear any thoughts you may have. We've just got the foundation right now so you won't be able to test some of the advanced stuff yet, but any feedback will be super helpful.

And I'll say this, only 2 networks have officially confirmed deals with us, we've got just about all the other major networks on board for integration 'verbally'.

The challenging one that's left is TJ, so that's why I asked for anyone that can, to help lobby for it just by asking them the question.

---

Tom,

Just launched my first campaign after installing this.

I have to say, I'm blown away.

At first it was a little intimidating learning how the tracker works. But after I loaded my goals (offers) landers and integrated exoclick I was able to launch an exoclick campaign in a few seconds. Saved me so much time, and was 10 times easier than logging into exoclick. Cool thing was after I logged into exoclick my campaign was setup and pending.



Can't wait to see what I can do with this tool.

Thanks for the Beta Trial!

---

Good idea, Tom you should definitely research a demand here. CPVlab sucks without updates, 202 needs plenty of add-ons; other cool solutions are not self hosted.

---

Thank you SO much for the praises. Feedback and just overall support are so important for us right now, so I really appreciate it.

We are fixing some bugs with sites metrics, so if you notice anything wrong there, we're on it and will have an update soon.

What you see there is just the basic foundation. A lot more to come!!

Thanks for the comment. It has been my general impression that iMobiTrax did do everything that people wanted though so that's the main reason we didn't go that route. Wanted to create something unique that would add more value to the industry.

We can certainly create something better to compete with them in the future.

---

Personally, I feel iMobiTrax is one step forward, two steps back. Yes it's #1 for mobile, but it does away with a lot of the reporting tools Prosper202 offers. I'm only able to run reports for one campaign at a time, and there are no graphs I can make use of to see changes in epc or profit over time. It would be a pain to try and run a bunch of search campaign using it and get the same level of functionality as prosper. Same thing with CPVLab. Both are also fully encrypted - doesn't that disable some caching options and put a lower cap on performance? Anyway I still think Prosper202 is the best all around option out there right now, especially with how easy it is to mod like the ones STM has contributed.

Will be testing out some high volume campaigns here next few days.

---

I linked my exoclick account, but it says that I have no funds when that's not the case.

---

Does it still say no funds? If it does, it could be a cron job (did you set it up correctly? check Options > Cron Job to make sure) or a server firewall issue preventing communication with ExoClick. Please feel free to submit a support ticket (Options > Support) if you're not sure what to do.

---

Can I import campaigns already in exoclick?

Or manually create them without it re-submiting for approval from exoclick?

---

We have an Import Wizard that takes you step by step through the importing process, but they have to be resubmitted for approval again since we are creating new campaigns that then gets tracked under AApro.

This is mostly for safety so we never screw around with your original campaigns. You can always just go back to your originals if you want.

---

Campaigns got deleted. Anybody experience the same?

---

We sent out a notification that explains this.

Basically, there was a reporting error associated with certain campaigns that was irreversible.

Therefore, we "archived" all of those campaigns for you automatically.

These campaigns can still be accessed in your archives (left nav > Archives).

This issue has been resolved going forward so there will be no more of this crap.

You can either create/import new campaigns starting fresh.

OR, you can restore some of these campaigns from your archives, duplicate them, then archive the originals once again.

The newly duplicated campaigns will not have this issue.

Sorry for the inconvenience! Really appreciate all the testing you guys are doing.

New Features: Day-Parting & CSV Exports

Hey everyone,

I just first want to thank everyone who has been beta testing and being ever so patient with us. I truly appreciate all the bug reports and feedback received. Every single one.

For those that have to yet to create campaigns, we've got a pretty damn solid and stable system now. Please give it a shot! If you have any trouble using the platform, just submit a support ticket or ping me directly and we'll be happy to walk you through every step.

If you aren't beta testing, what are you waiting for? Sign up and install the damn thing!

---------------------------------------------------------------

1. Day-Parting is now live. All metrics down to the ROI, down to the hour, and down to the day of the week are all tracked automatically for you.
   
   In addition, automated scheduling allows you to pre-schedule your campaigns to run at the most optimal times on ExoClick now.
   
   
   
   Just go into any individual campaign page, and you should see the Day-Parting button at the top after you do the update (just log out and log back in to get the update).
   
   You can control the day-parting schedule for "All Days" or for a particular day of the week. The controls make it as easy as flipping a switch on.
   
   
2. CSV Exporting is now live for Campaigns, Sites, and Creatives tables.
   
   You can find the button to do it on those tables at the very bottom right. There is an Excel icon.
   
   

Upcoming: Auto-Optimization Algorithms

We've begun work on Auto-Optimization Algorithms, where we will allow you to design your own algorithms to automatically pause/deactivate poor performing creatives, sites, and campaigns based on real time data.

This is the most exciting feature of them all, and all the ground work built into the system will culminate into the ability for us to take action on all this granular data.

Just wanted to keep everyone updated. Can't wait to get more feedback from you!

---

Anybody using aapro with Beyond Hosting vps? I run in to some problems and not sure what to do.

---

AAP support has been very helpful. Try to dig up any errors PHP may be throwing, and open a ticket.

---

Yeah, Tom is very helpful. I just wanted to check if anybody with Beyond VPS have same problem as mine.

---

Nobody? I guess its time to move to another host.

Auto-Optimization Algorithms is Live

Design Custom Algorithms to Automatically Optimize Your Campaigns

I am extremely excited to announce that we've released the most sought-after feature when we first started this product: Auto-Optimization Algorithms.

You will now be able to create custom algorithms to automatically manage and optimize your campaigns, creatives, and sites. Once you set the rules and add the algorithm to a campaign, all you have to do is feed it creatives, and it will uncover the best performers and pause the non-performers.

We'll still be in beta for some time, and thank you again if you have been helping beta test. If you aren't beta testing, Sign Up Now. You really don't want to miss this feature.

Creating Your Custom Algorithms

You'll need to first create the Algorithms. Once they're created, then you can add them to campaigns of your choosing. To create a new Algorithm, go to the Auto-Optimization page and click "New Algorithm".

The different types of Algorithms are explained below. Once you have created the Algorithms, go into any campaign of your choosing and in the horizontal nav bar, click "Algorithms".

Here, you can add any Algorithms you've created to the campaign. You can add up to 1 Algorithm of each type (there are currently 4 types) to each campaign to manage that campaign, including its creatives and sites.


Algorithm Type 1: Creative Phase I (for creative testing)



The Creative Phase I Algorithm is designed to optimize for creatives in the initial testing phase before it has collected a significant enough amount of data.

1. Graduation Criteria - You can designate a minimum ROI for creatives that's allowed to "graduate" from testing.
   
   For instance, you may deem any creative below a 10% ROI to be a failure. You may also deem 50,000 impressions on a creative enough data for the testing phase. Then, those are the criteria that a creative must meet in order to be "graduated" from the testing phase.
   
   If they reach 50,000 impressions, but has less than a 10% ROI, they will be failed.
   
   
2. Max Ads - You may only want to test up to a certain # of creatives at any given time. Say you upload 10 creatives and set this to 5. Then, only 5 will be tested at any given time. More creatives are activated once one of the first 5 "graduates" or is failed by the Algorithm.
   
   
3. Additional Rules - You can add up to 5 additional rules based on the ad's clicks, CTR, or net loss that check the ads before they reach the Graduation Criteria amount of impressions.
   
   For instance, you may want to make sure all ads have at least 1 click once they reach 2,000 impressions. You may want to make sure that all ads have at least a 0.1% CTR once they reach 5,000 impressions.

As you can see in the image above, you can essentially dictate the life-cycle of a creative from inception to "graduating" from the testing phase by setting up these checkpoints, and you can continue to dictate its behavior with the next Algorithm.


Algorithm Type 2: Creative Phase II (for creative maintenance)

The Creative Phase II Algorithm is designed to keep maintain and keep tabs on creatives that are deemed successful. The creatives could have "graduated" from your Phase I testing phase, or they might be creatives that you already know are winners.
Eligibility - Eligible ads are "picked up" and managed by the Creative Phase II Algorithm when you add it to a campaign. You can define at how many impressions ads are eligible to be picked up by it. Ads that are currently going through Creative Phase I Algorithm will not be picked up until they "graduate" from it.

1. Stop Loss & Restart - You can designate to pause a creative if over the last X impressions if it has a net loss of Y dollars. Then, the Algorithm will pause the ad and restart it again after Z number of days break. This pause and restart loop will continue if the criteria is met again.
   
   Your creative might be suffering because of banner fatigue, and this rule allows you to mitigate it by not running the creative for a number of days.
   
   
2. Retirement - At some point, your creatives might just be considered to be burned out and should be failed. The Retirement rule allows you to do the same thing as the Stop Loss rule, except that there are no restarts and the creative is simply failed.
   
   
3. Crop Rotation - Yet another method of mitigating banner fatigue by rotating the ads that are run. The Algorithm splits the creatives under Phase II into 2 different groups. You can then choose rotate running them on a weekly or daily basis.

Algorithm Type 3: Sites

The Sites Algorithm is very similar to the Creative Phase I Algorithm and let's you dictate the testing life-cycle of targeted sites within a campaign.

This Algorithm works great when you're targeting just a dozen sites, but it works wonders in the case of RON campaigns. The Algorithm is able to monitor all your sites and pause the sites that underperform as they come up in the reporting. No more sitting there waiting for sites to show up just so you can blacklist them.


Algorithm Type 4: Campaign

The Campaign Algorithm is very similar to the Creative Phase II Algorithm. It will let you create Stop Loss & Restart rules, as well as Retirement rule. The only difference is there is no "Eligibility" criteria. The Algorithm just runs on any campaign it's assigned to.

No more sitting around and monitoring campaign performance. Set it up and go on vacation.


The Labeling System

We've also implemented an extremely slick labeling system so that you know exactly which campaigns, ads, and sites are currently being managed with an algorithm.



Any black labels indicate that the item is being monitored and managed by an algorithm. So if you wanted to change its behavior, you can simply edit the parameters of the algorithm you created.

There will also be a green label if a campaign has day-parting turned on, a blue label if an ad or site has "graduated" from their testing phase, and a gray label if any items were failed by an algorithm.

Here are all the possible labels you'll see currently:

• Black "P1" - Creative is in Phase I testing phase
• Black "P2" - Creative is in Phase II maintenance phase
• Black "S" - Site is in testing phase
• Black "C" - Campaign is being monitored by a campaign algorithm
• Green "D" - Campaign currently has day-parting turned ON
• Blue "G" - The creative or site has "graduated" from its testing algorithm
• Gray "F" - Item was failed by an algorithm
  
• Red "O" - Stands for "override". You can always click the label to put the campaign, site, or ad in override mode so that the algorithms skip that item. That item would then never be automatically paused unless you click again to remove the override status.
  If you guys have any questions at all in setting up the algorithms, please don't hesitate to submit a support ticket.

If you guys have any questions at all in setting up the algorithms, please don't hesitate to submit a support ticket.

Just awesome

Future Integration with TrafficFactory Confirmed

Plus, New Videos on Auto-Optimization Algorithms Live

Yeah, we're still humming along, and 2014 is going to be the year for AdultAdsPro.

We have gotten the go-ahead from TrafficFactory, and it's another traffic source that we'll be integrating this year. That's another 1 billion+ daily impressions. This adds to the list of official traffic sources ExoClick and Ero-Advertising.

Don't see your favorite ad network in the list yet? Don't worry, we are likely already in talks. They are just not officially confirmed yet.


Tutorial Videos for Auto-Optimization Algorithms

We've just created 2 tutorial videos that explain exactly how the Auto-Optimization Algorithms work. For those of you who still hasn't taken AdultAdsPro for a test run, I think you'll be very impressed at its capabilities:

[ Video Part 1 ] [ Video Part 2 ]

If you haven't checked out the other tutorial videos, simply click "Video Tutorials" in the top left of your Dashboard once you log into your AdultAdsPro installation.

We've also added the ability for Algorithms to be applied to CPC campaigns.


What's Next?

1. Mobile - We are currently working on adding mobile data (device, country, carrier, browser, operating system) into the reports. Your installs actually been tracking this data; they just haven't been organized!
   
   We are also working on giving you the ability to create custom post-click redirect rules. We will be keeping the redirects lightning fast by giving you the option to turn this on a per-campaign basis.
   
   Other trackers force you to do multiple database lookups on the spot when clicks come in. This slows your redirects, especially for mobile. What we do is only do it on-demand when you need to turn on post-click redirect rules. When you don't need that, database lookups are performed later so redirect speeds are not affected.
   
   
2. Traffic Source Integrations - We've spent the last few months really building a solid foundation with all the advanced features for ExoClick. We are now starting to shift focus on solely integrating new traffic sources.

I've had a few people who weren't too keen on ExoClick and were waiting on other traffic sources. But, after I convinced them to give it a shot, 2 of them are now doing $300-500/day in about 2 weeks. Hmm...

We are still in our 100%-free beta period and will be for quite some time.

---

This looks great Tom, just one question: what are the redirect speeds like compared to the other trackers out there? Especially in mobile that can make a big difference.

---

It's barebones fast and super scalable. I don't know how it compares to other trackers, but I do know Prosper is too damn slow. Frankly, I don't care to test against all the other ones out there as long as I know it's as fast as possible.

For example, in our campaigns, you will have the ability (finishing this feature now) to turn on and off post-click redirect rules. If it's turned off, the user agent (device, browser, OS, etc.) are not detected on the fly. You will still get the data, but we put it aside and let cron jobs decipher them and associate the meta data to click data at a delayed time.

When you turn on post-click redirect rules, the detection is on the fly, since the software needs to know the users' device to know which set of rotations to send them.

That's just an example of us maximizing software redirect speeds as we take out any and all unnecessary processing.

The click speeds will more so depends on your server, not the software.

---

EDIT: everything is working fine now, it seems the system when down for a few mins.

Tip: add {subid} automatically to the Goals, or put a button that insert it at the end, because typing it in one can make a mistake

---

Is this tracker still supported? I know a lot of work is going into Thrive and PofPRO. Just curious if this project will stop receiving support anytime soon, so I can invest into something else instead.

---

@smoochy Right now our main efforts are put forth toward Thrive. We have users who are still using AdultAdsPro and it's still very powerful for advertising on ExoClick and TrafficFactory (the integrated traffic sources)

We have future plans to completely build out AdultAdsPro, so this is by no means an abandoned product. It's very much alive. But, right now, we are very much resource constrained, so while it's currently a paid product and we will answer support requests, just the technical support will be limited.

---

I for the life of me cannot get the Ajax Request error on install to go away. Mod rewrite is on and its appache server so I moved the htacess file. Anyone else have this issue?
