Ads | Ocean's Focus region for Ad Network Solutions

As technology began to develop, new payment options were introduced, such as phone payment, SMS and operator billing, Internet banking, prepaid cards, various tokens and coupons

The micropayments handled by the mobile operators were a game changer, so now we can monetize a lot of African or Asians countries, that's something we could only dream of 10 years ago. These regions can be considered the undeveloped country.



Albania, Algeria, Angola, Antigua & Barbuda, Argentina, Armenia, Aruba, Azerbaijan, Bahamas, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belarus, Belize, Benin, Bolivia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Botswana, Brazil, Brunei, Bulgaria, Burkina Faso, Burma, Burundi, Cambodia, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Central African Rep, Chad, Chile, China (PRC), Comoros, Congo (DRC), Congo, Republic, Costa Rica, Cote d’Ivoire, Cuba, Curacao, Cyprus, Djibouti, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, El Salvador, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Estonia, Ethiopia, Fiji, Gabon, Ghana, Greece, Guatemala, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Hong Kong, Hungary, Iceland, India, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Jamaica, Japan, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kiribati, Korea, North, Kosovo, Kuwait, Kyrgyz Republic, Laos, Latvia, Lebanon, Lesotho, Liberia, Libya, Macau, Madagascar, Malawi, Malaysia, Maldives, Mali, Malta, Marshall Islands, Mauritania, Mexico, Micronesia, Moldova, Mongolia, Montenegro, Morocco, Mozambique, Namibia, Nepal, Niger, Nigeria, Oman, Pakistan, Palau, Panama, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, Peru,Philippines, Portugal, Qatar, Romania, Russia, Rwanda, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Serbia, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, Singapore, Solomon Islands, Somalia, South Africa, South Sudan, Sri Lanka, St. Lucia, St. Vincent & The Gren, Sudan, Suriname, Swaziland, Switzerland, Syria, Tajikistan, Tanzania, Thailand, The Gambia, Timor-Leste, Togo, Tonga, Trinidad & Tobago, Tunisia, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Uganda, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, Uruguay, Uzbekistan, Venezuela, Vietnam, Yemen, Zambia, Zimbabwe

SO WHY ARE DEVELOPED COUNTRIES MORE COMPETITIVE AND HARDER TO WORK?

They were in target of online Ad Networks for a very longer time.

1. These countries are more regulated - Ad Networks have already tried tricks in these markets. The governing bodies had to react and introduce quite strict rules. Regulators of undeveloped countries do not know these tricks.

2. The Ad Networks has already operate in developed markets for many years - They have the tools and experience that you do not have.

3. Mature markets attract more branded Ad Networks - There is less chance of competing with the brands, because they are not so results oriented.

4. These markets are saturated - The citizens in the developed countries were on the Internet longer than the rest of the world. They have seen everything now.

BETTER TO START WITH UNDEVELOPED COUNTRIES?

These countries are not targeted by online AD Networks for too long. Combine this fact with the available micropayment options and have a winning combination.

These countries continue to grow in regards to the use of the Internet, there are a lot of Internet Virgins who are about to watch their first online porn movie or install the first applications on their new Chinese smartphone that they bought for cheap money These are perfect goals for AD Networks campaigns.

1. The regulations in these regions are nonexistent or low - The regulations are changing slowly, so it can be explored in more ways.

2. Payments on these Countries are low - This drives away mainly large players.

3. The massive volume from these countries is an argument in itself. The countries like Brazil, Mexico, Indonesia, India, are developing rapidly, which means a growing audience that is hungry for everything related to the Internet.

4. The traffic in these locations is cheap -  This is one of the most important factors that a new Ad Network should consider. Working with cheap traffic means more data for the same amount of money.

Cost-per-action Model by Ads | Oceans

Ads | Oceans is a new advertising network with cost-per-action business model to advertisers where advertisers only pay for achieved (action) goals. This is very similar to affiliate marketing because the action can be formulated as subscriptions to a newsletter, number of pages visited on the site or actual sales.

Google is also testing this model and Snap has already gained quite a bit of publicity with it. Microsoft live is known to also work on a partner network and context-sensitive ad model like adsense, but not whether they would implement a cost-per-action model.

What possibilities does Mobile In-App Advertising have?

Digital marketers have for years forecasted mobile is the online trend to follow. Now that an era has arrived in which the smartphone is checked on average 150 times a day - together accounting for an average of 3 hours per day - and the average smartphone owner uses 27 apps, it is no surprise that the largest online service providers are also in line for this to adjust or expand their services. Naturally, Google is also among these largest online service providers. Similarly in the area of ​​app advertising.

Here we give an overview for  Mobile In-App Advertising possibilities.

source http://www.businessofapps.com/app-deep-linking-guide/

Possibilities In-App Advertising
Advertising opportunities to support mobile apps is divided into three categories:
• Ads focused on mobile app installations .
• Ads focused on mobile app engagement .
• In-app ads.

I) Ads focused on Mobile App Installations
This is the category has the most and therefore has a focus on increasing the number of downloads of a mobile app. Ads in this ad category can be deployed through the search network, the display network and Video network.

II) Ads focused on Mobile App Engagement
In addition to promoting app installations, a mobile app advertiser may benefit from tempting
1) consumers who have already installed an app to use the app or
2) from consumers who are potentially app users based on interest (but app not yet installed). To do this, ads for mobile app engagement are used.

This category also makes it possible for advertisers to allow consumers to land at a specific location within the app. This phenomenon is called deep linking and is primarily intended to keep the user experience as relevant as possible for the consumer. One step further is deferred deep linking, where a particular advertisement for a consumer who has already installed the app leads to point A (the app's download page), while the same advertisement for a consumer who has not yet installed the app leads to point B.

III) In-app Ads
This is the odd one out, not only because of its different category name. In-app advertising is the only advertising category that, as the category name suggests, is exclusively displayed in apps. This is done via a special option in Google's display network.

App extensions on the Search Network
An option that should not be underexposed is the possibility to add an app extension in AdWords search campaigns. Do not confuse these with the above-mentioned app advertising options! In the search network, the following distinction applies:
• App extensions are intended for search advertisements where the emphasis is on the website, but there may be a possibility for clicking to the app, by means of a separate extension.
• App ads on the search network lead directly to the app's download page or to a page within the app.

However, there is also a mobile advertising from Ads | Oceans. We distributes advertising space over the mobile and app ad network. Once ads in the category of in-app ads - display ads deployed in apps within Google Play and iOS App Store - are enabled by an advertiser.

So, why advertise in Mobile Apps?
In a battle to find out more and more about the mobile user, these advertising agencies has provided visits-metric, where physical purchases of online consumers are measured). The expectation is that these advertising opportunities will continue to grow and improve in the coming years!

Finally, the reasons to advertise your App:
• Full attention from the users (focused on the mobile screen)
• Special mobile targeting options
• A fully-fledged place within the cross-media (mobile) marketing strategy
• On average, higher Click-Through Rate (CTRs)
• Average lower Cost Per Click (CPCs)

What is the future of Publishers and Advertisers: The Results of the discussion at Harvard

At the same time as digital technology was established, readers switched to mobile format and social network, and traditional media tried to make it to them, and the dependence of the journalistic industry on large technological platforms such as Facebook was formed. Today, when such an approach has led to a crisis in the media industry, publishers are looking for ways to regain independence: regaining audience and revenue.



Representatives of the Columbia and Harvard universities organized a conference "The Future of Advertising and Publishers" with the participation of key industry experts to discuss these issues.

For Publishers - More Independence 
Advertisers do not need traditional media as they used to be, because today their potential consumer is easy to find in social networks. Popular are native ads and branded content. In this regard, the discussion participants have suggested that in the future all free content will be supplemented by commercial messages, and all content without advertising will be funded through subscription. Today, despite the fact that many consumers are willing to pay for high-quality content, most still agree to advertise for free access. For example, 75% of Spotify users listen to content free of charge with advertising, give an example report authors. Under such conditions, the crucial issue that may arise in the future will be the need for clear ethical standards on how to submit sponsored material. Paid access can also create problems in terms of public good and public debate. However, these issues need to be studied and discussed in detail.

Privacy and Engagement with the Audience
Another issue confronting both the media and publishers is the privacy of users. Today, the industry works in this way: the more advertising tries to become more effective and audience-oriented, the more it suffers from privacy. According to experts, this will inevitably affect the advertising ecosystem both in the European Union and beyond - since the new regulation will apply to any company that serves citizens and residents of the EU. For a long time, the editorial staff collected and analyzed a variety of information about their audience. Now they will have to look for new ways to balance personalization and privacy, the authors of the report conclude. In the perspective way to ensure privacy, as well as to make the media more independent the browser does not share any personal data with the network. In addition, the site offers a new way of monetization : both through micro-payments of users, and through digital advertising, which is based on BlockChain technology. 

Ad Networking Platform
These Platform companies are focused on trying to improve the revenues returned to publishers, but thought this would be more likely to happen through new subscription of products than through a large rise in advertising revenues.

Growing Satoshi’s Dream: Getting Crypto into Venues While Avoiding Big Credit Card Companies

A Different Approach to Real-world Adoption

Maybe you’ve heard of cryptocurrency point of sale (POS) systems like the TenX & Monaco cards and thought they were the future of getting crypto in brick and mortar shops. Well, they still rely on Visa and other big name credit card companies to function.

While companies like these are still a step in the right direction for the mass-adoption of crypto, some POS systems take it one step further and put Bitcoin directly in the hands of merchants. They eliminate the need for credit card companies – one of Satoshi’s original dreams for Bitcoin. Who are they? Let’s find out.

POS Systems

These systems facilitate the peer-to-peer transaction of cryptocurrency without the need of big credit card corporations like Visa, Mastercard, and American Express. Some offer the option to integrate credit cards but also have the option to use the POS systems without them. Keep in mind you’ll still need the appropriate cryptocurrency wallet for each POS system to use them.

CoinGate

CoinGate offers a POS mobile app. On its site, it states that “credit card companies usually charge up to 3% of the transaction amount and there are various additional fees. With CoinGate you can accept Bitcoin payments for only 1% from the transaction amount and there are no monthly, registration, or support fees.”

Customers can pay with Bitcoin and over 50 altcoins from which Coingate automatically converts into its corresponding Bitcoin value. However, merchants are given the choice to receive payouts in Bitcoins, Euros or USD.

Fast Facts

  • - Plenty of cryptocurrencies payment options for customers

Pundi X

Pundi X states it will “empower blockchain developers and token holders to transact cryptocurrency and services at any physical store in the world.” The team has plans on rolling out between 100,000 – 700,000 units in 3 years.

Pundi X system
Pundi X system

The “crypto to crypto to fiat” method outlined in the projects whitepaper allows merchants to sell items “without the use of the VISA or Mastercard service by going directly to the cryptocurrency blockchain to record transactions.” The company then receives the transactions report and ensures that the retailer is reimbursed by fiat money.

Fast Facts

  • - Offers merchants retail intelligence through POS product use

With the contactless X Pass payment card, you can purchase day-to-day items at venues with the Pundi X POS devices. All you need to do is tap it against the POS device. You’ll also be able to buy cryptocurrency at any of the locations at its real-time value with credit cards, which will be loaded onto your cryptocurrency wallet.

Pundi X is producing a wide variety of merchant POS products to accommodate the needs of different venues. These include desktop devices, mobile devices, scanners, printers, cash machines, and more.

Graft

Graft is is a mobile app similar to Pundi X. It alows the merchant to accept both crypto and fiat.

Graft

Fast Facts

  • - Zero buyer fees, Graft only charges the merchant
  • - Instant transaction confirmation
  • - Buyers can pay with major cryptocurrencies and the Graft token (GRFT)
  • - Merchants can choose what they want to be paid in regardless of buyer payment choice
  • - Connects your crypto wallet to GRAFT wallet
  • - Extremely low fees (.01-1%) for merchants accepting the GRFT

Scenario 1: You purchase a cup of coffee with GRFT, and the merchant accepts GRFT. Virtually no fees associated with this transaction.

Scenario 2: You pay for the coffee with GRFT, but the merchant only accepts US dollars. The crypto is converted into the US dollar, but the merchant is responsible for the broker fees.

Scenario 3: You pay for coffee with Bitcoin, but the merchant only accepts US dollars.The merchant would need to pay the Bitcoin fees and the broker fees.

Scenario 4: You pay for the coffee with a credit card, but the merchant only accepts Bitcoin. The merchant would need to pay the credit card and Bitcoin fees.

There are many other scenarios that can occur with different currencies, but this should give an overview of how Graft works.

Opendime

Opendime is “a small USB stick that allows you to spend Bitcoin like a dollar bill.” You can load money as many times as you want on it and anyone can check the value that’s on it. The moment you break the seal to find out the private key, it should be discarded.

Opendime

Fast Facts

  • - Functions like a read-only USB flash drive
  • - Balance can be verified without internet connection
  • - Like a paper wallet but more secure
  • - Bitcoins are locked until physically unsealed, revealing private key
  • - Reliable for 25-100 years
  • - “Bitcoin in your hands” without the confirmation delays or enormous fees
  • - The company boasts that you can “give an Opendime to anyone and they don’t need to worry that you can take back the funds later”

Scenario: You want to purchase a $10,000 car. You transfer $10,000 worth of Bitcoin on an Opendime by sending the Bitcoin to its wallets address. The car dealer checks the value on the Opendime and hands you the keys to the car. The car dealer then “breaks” the Opendime to reveal the private key which is needed to clear out the funds and transfer them to another wallet.

What Can Opendimes be used for?

  • - Give it as a present, sort of like a gift card.
  • - Load it with Bitcoin (you can load it with whatever value you want) and store it like a paper wallet.
  • - Sell it for its real-time value for fiat currency, trade it for an item of equivalent value, etc.

Conclusion

People are mostly using cryptocurrencies to purchase other cryptocurrencies. We all know there are much more useful aspects of the blockchain, but the technology is still relatively in its infancy. What we need is the world to see crypto more as a means for day-to-day payments and less like a speculation.

The things stopping us from getting there are beyond the average person’s control, but confirmation delays and high transaction fees that plague most cryptocurrencies don’t help with the cause. It’s obvious right now that most of these digital currencies in their current form can’t handle the scalability needed to function like a Visa credit card.

Visa states it can process 56,000 transactions per second (tps). Even Ripple as one of the cryptocurrencies with the highest throughput can currently only handle 1,500 tps. In comparison, Bitcoin is limited to a rate of 7 tps.

To put these high confirmation delays and high transaction fees into perspective, the average transaction fee for BTC is currently hovering around $4 with a block confirmation time of 10 minutes, Ethereum $0.75 at 25 seconds, LTC $.23 at about 2 minutes, and XRP less than a penny with near instant payments at a fraction of a second. Visa has a fee of 1.43% – 2.4% and is near instantaneous.

Finally, if you’re looking for venues that accept crypto, download apps like CryptoFind (unfortunately currently only covers Australia) available in GooglePlay and App Store. You’ll definitely be helping bring crypto to the dream Satoshi Nakamoto envisioned.
