Testing DClick
I know I am late discovering some new possibilities, projects and incentives they bring to Steem platform.
One of these recent discoveries is DClick - Steem based project for monetizing your Steem presence through ads.
DClick is bringing ad click functionality to the Steem world, both for publishers and advertisers. The added bonus of the platform is that you can delegate Steem too and thus gain additional rewards.
What can you do after you sign up on https://www.dclick.io?
For publishers / content creators
- create posts on DClick - they will automagically be augmented with an ad footer
- add ad footers to existing posts
- use script to add DClick functionality to any website you control
For advertisers
- create campaigns and ads to be published with the content
For Steem power holders
- Delegate your Steem power and receive rewards accordingly to your delegation
Working example
This post is being created directly on DClick:
An image ad will be added to the footer of the post:
After publishing the post you can follow the progress on your dashboard:
I will publish this article now and follow the progress. Stay tuned for reports in the comments.
Delegating SP
I have already delegated 20 Sp just to see how this part of the platform is performing. Stay tuned for the follow up here too.
Overall impression
The first impression is very good. Even in its beta stage, the platform looks well thought out and well designed. Some advanced features of full blows ad servers are probably in the works. What I like is connection with Steem platform and its natural workings alongside with options to include outside world via scripts, which is a classical way to do ad placement.
Conclusion
DClick looks very promising and certainly is a valuable addition to the Steem ecosystem.
The project already has a well-rounded set of features.
I am also looking forward to what new features will it bring?
So far so good - keep up the good work, team DClick.
Ps: where is an affiliate system?

Glad you do!

You are welcome.
Ps: I made several typos in the post. The posting form on DClick still has the post open. I will try and edit it to see what happens ...
Ten seconds later...
Nothing happened. Well, It's a beta :)

Good to see an application like Dclick bringing a rewards system that people can understand. Hopefully the experiment goes well!

Your ad?
Not only that i got like 40 text and banner ads atm doing some tests what has highest conversions.
These are the banner one's:

Seems like a cheap way to advertise. Let's say you spend 5 sbd on ads then you get 5 dollar ad budget + they upvote your latest post for 5 sbd - curation rewards.
I think they need to advertise this feature more.
Although have seen comments that they already running low on VP compared to upvotes needed, so perhaps a good time to take advantage of such terms before they need to be tweaked a bit.
I've only recently discovered it and experimenting.
They don't need to advertise, then we have more for ourselves :)
True about running low on voting power. But this system is temporarily anyway, they are planning to launch their own dclick token soon.
Same here, i discovered recently and now experimenting a bit. I ran like 50 different ads to see which have highest conversions. I discovered some interesting things. If you want to talk about this sent me an email nielsagaert at hotmail dot com. I don't want to share publicly because i don't want much competition.
It can make a lot of difference when you optimise your ads a bit. I'm having like 3-4 times "better conversions" now than with the first dclick ads i ran.
Cool :) So you are the main dclick sponsor and tester at the moment :)
Good luck with conversions.
Only since a few days. Almost nobody else is using it atm.
