No
so what woudl happen in that case
if more than 4k people clikc on the tab
and ur bot is being advertised right then
pay more or less cpm but it is impossible since the cpm >1
Your ad will be removed and others ad will show up
so will it be auto removed or will you have to request it to be removed
Auto
basically will you end up having to pay more
ok
How many times does a person/org have to fail to pay before they're barred from bidding? The same org drives up the price of the tags I bid on each week
They end up winning the top spot after driving the price up and I've yet to see them pay
I mean, I don't mind being the only ad on top, but paying more each week is getting silly
hello,
can we reset my nickname on the server ?
thanks.
Aye I applied for bot reviewer
Helli

Anyone know some tricks to win some actions for cheap when starting out?
bid in cpm
its a lot better than normal bidding and works even with low budget
bit a higher cpm, then you will win
like 3$ cpm on max Bid. 10$
Alr ty



@swift tree Yo my guy did you mean to drop $800 there
bc the top bid before then was $35
could be vote credits expiring
If anyone is interested in how the front page translates to site traffic when your site is linked here are my stats for this past week front page as a product: https://gyazo.com/8ca871e2506675f1751c6e921e05d85b
We gained about 4k users which is great
Obviously $2k is not at all worth it by any means for these stats on a regular google advert etc. However, for the extremely targeted advertising I would say it is worth it as I can see users making links as well as people clicking on their links which is what we want. With google ads we would not be able to get targeted discord ads such as this so I would say overall not a bad spot for a product, thanks @low hinge
Here is also the stats that Top.gg is recording: https://gyazo.com/5fb6af7170cc1e0d4ad6546b64885f51
Interesting
Though I'm curious which product keeps getting like 89k+ clicks all the time?
Does Mee6 really get that many clicks every week on top voted? Because it says you've only got 13k clicks at 1.3m views
yes most likely
Keep in mind it also highly depends on your advertisement
Keep in mind that if you post an ad that's not working the target audience, you're going to get a lot less clicks.
Styling of the ad is also very important
Considering your ad's icon is barely readable, I'd suggest changing it to a simpler icon in the future
I guess that's what I'd recommend the most
@low hinge Can I get my credits back? I didn't get the estimated impressions in certified page slot 1.
ok
nice,then i could bid today
Same
No
There is a product bidding on server tags, I assume a server
It's called "Groovin n' Movin"
But I can't find it on top.gg

... It has 700 members
why is a server with 700 members, not even t3 boosted, spending $100+ on emotes tag, that's just wasting money lmfao
how much time do i have to pay again
right
its not a waste if it'll get them mebers who boost it
the value of the ad is what you personally value it at
18 boosts xD and yeah it's a new server...u cant find it on top gg due to a bug and well it's my money xD
How dare you spend your money the way you want to
@pseudo cedar hello can i dm you a question
sure
we'll see
An impression is a view of your ad
You'll have to convert those impressions to clicks, which you'll again have to convert into invites
i am expecting 100% conversion
lol no
almost forgot i had bid on 2 tags xd
glad i wasn't too late to pay xd
Are those impressions counts unique impressions?
Oh for fucks sake I just realised today’s Tuesday not Monday 
No, if someone refreshes 1000 times then that’s 1k impressions
I can’t imagine there is a single ad in topgg that went above 30% conversion
So your 100% is more optimistic than walking to the moon on a sky bridge
30% conversion? 👀 Don't you mean CTR?
My Rocket League ads used to reach 60%, but we're a Rocket League bot (the only functional one at the time) and server and the game had recently gone free to play.
Now it's started to plain-off a bit, as most of the Rocket League community already knows about us and isn't specifically looking for us.
Most likely it'll be removed once we fully move to the new design
I had 33.3 % ,but only works if the tag matches with your bot purpose
but we'll make sure it doesn't happen during someone's ad lol
They’re the same thing
Yeah but to be completely fair your case is a very specific and rare one
Even when having a bot that is purpose built for that tag, you can still sometimes not achieve such high click through and again is tag dependant
Like 14% was the highest I got on music tag iirc
So you're saying there's a chance?
I mean what would you consider the chance of walking to the moon, bearing in mind it’s up to like 250,000 mile long walk
Well walking is pretty easy
Once I get into the moon's gravity I can just fall instead of walk
Ez

This would be too good to be true
From 8 impressions? 
On track so far
rocket ship is getting ready for takeoff

🧑🚀
@low hinge when are the ads expected to be up?
1hr
in case anyone is curious how effective the advertisements are - my bot gained roughly 750 servers more than it normally would've by being advertised on the top list with 71k impressions, however the bot is normally getting a fair amount of traffic by being on page 2 of the top list, so a less popular bot could maybe see up to 1,000 servers for a similar price
i am expecting around 37.88k invites with my ad

topgg is filled with turks opening same link on 3 devices
Btw how do you count impressions @low hinge
whenever the picture loads, it tracks an impression iirc
That’s the reason why this thing happened
How so?
Adblock
But the picture isn't being blocked
It loads
Ad block doesn’t prevent ads from loading
It block JS scripts
So picture loads, but JS script behind it being blocked
That’s one of many possible reasons

Actually I’d take a look at auctions backend and probably fix some things that I found myself
But you didn’t reply to my email yet
Also another possible reason is caching on the backend side, this one is often common
Beacon tracking doesn't need js. It's very very sneaky like that.
As I said, theres a plenty of possible reasons
Can’t say for sure bcuz I need to look at SC to be able to say something
Hey, no bullying
Wym
Those are features not bugs.
I don't think my ad has shown yet. It should be a ways down the list
There’s 3 possible ways
- clicks are weird and not working properly
- impressions are weird and not working properly
- both
So probably it worth to be debugged

Old http request got lost in the internet and finally found their way
The 3 impression 10 clicks is from an old campaign
It’s still had a place to be
If it’s happened => something is wrong
If it repeated => really wrong
Or it went right, but we don't understand the rightness. Computers are never wrong
They are just misunderstood
lol
Tell that to discord API
“It maybe went wrong but we still proceeded your request”
It’s probably just another impression
why am i getting impressions before my ad goes live?
it probably is showing. im getting some installs
infinity 
yea the tracking isn't really that great 
@pseudo cedar trying to dm you

ad things
is it top tag?
whoah
Nice graph
Embotic has a greater cpm, so it get's preference
yeah ik
to outbid it, you will have to increase the cpm with something like $2 @ $x
Its obviously a joke
oh
thanks, i did it all by myself with no help from marco.
hi
Means that you are paying 20$ in total and 10$ for each 1k impressions your bots get
So in your case, your total would be 20$ for 2k impressions
Unless I am incorrrect, this is how this system works
Correct
hi
That’s my bot lmao
time to start irl auction
4:20 lmao
Sleepless veld. :(
Veld needs sleep yes
Ayo @low hinge sleep when
Take care of your health veld.
Wait, Veld & u are from same country?
Nah veld's in the Netherlands and I'm in Germany
Bruh 3 hours is very less time lol. A person needs minimum 8 hours of sleep. 
is this a bug ? Since Customizable .. tag gives only 2.2k
it's just an estimation
okay
@fiery plinth stop
fuck it 
but why?
I lost in moderation tag 2
HM
@low hinge something is wrong with emaling system
Letters about bids are going to spam
What's up
Hello
this
Yikes
@shrewd estuary dw i got credits that i have to burn 
yikes
not surprised considering some people got like 100 emails at once
probably put some ratelimit on those
Ye
I never got the dm thing working 
Thats actually not how it works
i did see screenshots of people getting 99+ emails
I'm sleep
I have credits that have disappeared
app?
You still didnt answer to my email tho

well lets see how much time people will keep bidding
they do every month
yes but

it seems like bidhell ended
its been over 31 days
but
not yet
When I picked him up he didn't know how to add
mr.nose
btw
if you increase 0.01$
for the rest of the auction
you only have to pay 0.6$ more in cpm
i wonder if the random guy who outbid me is actually going to pay
even less
#auctions-support and wait, he's gone to sleep
the person that outbidded you
If the cause to WW3 isn't Topgg's auctions i dont know what will
f
look at these madlads
this was the person i was talking about
i didn't think they were actually gonna pay so i just didn't bother to outbid them
the konoharpg guy
you own mantaro right?
ah k
sad
ads start in like 5 hours right?
Ads starts at <t:1626206400> in the viewed Time
wait how did u do that
<t:unixtimestamp>
sadge
Works on PC though
smh veld
@low hinge What if you used one of these timestamp formats for the times listed in #580510490074152961 🤔 https://discord.com/developers/docs/reference#message-formatting
That way it adapts for every person's time zone
Integrate your service with Discord — whether it's a bot or a game or whatever your wildest imagination can come up with.
they added that a few weeks ago
damn
who would've known
after turning the db into a typesafe interface
stability goes up???

Discord added many cool features during 2 months
use javascript and you wont need to worry about annoying type issues. uninstall TS and forget about it
gl for me on Pokémon Tag 
gl
I like typescript
But it gets annoying sometimes.
why going for 200 USD 
23
lol why is nobody bidding
ouch bided 4$ to much :C
I forgot bidding, 
why does bidding goes nuts when its about to end 
that's how it works
seriously?
its night time for me 
alright
are you assuming the latter cause im a small bot 
gotcha
people jack up the price a lot its annoying
yeah hate that
sorry for assuming lol
Veld,did system changed for non payers? do they even get punished?
@mortal forum bro are you trying to snipe or something?
You're just extending the auction. Really annoying.
no im tryna get some impressions

cuz ppl keep bidding more than me
even tho im only tryna get 2kish impressions when there are 160k for everyone
sorry if that was annoying u
Last second(s) with a bid that will get you less than a thousand impressions looks like sniping.
Or at least just pointless extending
true
you're also wasting your own time btw
just bid what you want to pay and move on 
^^
FINALLY IT ENDED
not on every tag
For CPM auctions?
yes
Their ads don't show up on CPM auctions and the impressions will go to someone else
- similarly to how non-CPM auctions work
your bidding limit will lower
if it's a big enough amount, we will remove them
ah okay and how much will it be lower?
full amount paid
e.g. if their bidding limit is 200$ and they bid 200$ and do not pay
they can simply no longer bid
it's a very simple auto banning solution lol
there's a bidding limit?
it'll go up based on your payments
but maybe not
I assume yours is pretty high already
What
lol @low hinge #bids message
maybe
I'll double check that
but if it's a bidding limit
it doesnt know if im gonna pay with credits or not yet
idk
nono click the link
no i didnt
xd
maybe it was from before we had the limit
how much time do we have to pay?
12 hours iirc
hmmmm I didnt get the bot notification when I got outbid lol
yeah that are a bit buggy at times
Are there any coupon codes lol
when do ads go live?
Ads starts at <t:1626206400> in the viewed Time
Ok thanks. Btw how did you make the date appear like that? In my notifs it shows that you typed smthn like <123456789>
R makes it relative to now. So would say like in 3 hours or whatever then change to 2 when an hour has passed
What are you confused about?
did he actually calculate out how many seconds more tho?
yeah
ik u used :R in the first and no :R in the 2nd
but is there a shortcut to show the amount of time til some event today instead of having to calculate out how many seconds?
oh
but didn't it take a while for him to calculate the amount of seconds?
wdym u used 1
<t:1>
yeah that is 1 second after
but did he calculate how many seconds after all the way til today at 4 pm
is his method specific to discord?
If using in your code use a date object to get it
yeah thats what i normally do
but i was wondering how he did it in discord
in the chat
Epoch and unix timestamp converter for developers. Date and time function syntax reference for various programming languages.
thx
Now I get to find out if Front Page - New is worth $600/week for me 😎
what bot did you make?
Message Scheduler
🧐
how many times are we gonna see this meme
on Front page trending new ,The slot it is empty
So far the front page - new slot has gotten me only slightly more invites than I was getting naturally. Assuming traffic doesn't spike in the next few days I don't think I'll be paying more than $100 for this slot in the future
Impressions seem to be equal to front page - top so I think it's calculated when the page is loaded and not when the slot comes into view
That kinda says it all
If top voted is valued at $2500 or so, trending new should only really sell for 5% ($137)
yea the misleading view number sometimes tricks newer auction members into thinking its worth a lot more than it is. for me personally its worth around 300.
This week its empty because surprise surprise we had some clown bid 1k on it and obviously didn't pay, runner up was not contacted and veld didnt respond to my DM so seems its gonna stay empty this week
oh was that Music Bot?
I think so yes
If the spot isn’t taken you can contact veld post auctions and pay for remaining period iirc
how much can you call a good ctr??
5% would be avarage like on new page or top page tags
30% would be good for specific tag like For a moderation Bot Moderation Tag
i see thanks
You rlly dc 
It's a lot of money
Yep which you just got out bided
Yep which you just got out bided
Yes for some reason I don't get updates from the bot
yea
anyways back on holiday
Bcoins
btw play FFXIV with me
I remember they did before
Going to see if they can lmfao
This one is well cheaper and get's the same amount of impressions and it's still open.
Noted
I prefer other tags.
why 👏 do 👏 people 👏 keep 👏 bidding 👏 last 👏 second
Saves money
wastes time
Hello, I was wondering when do the ads go live?
What's the timeline?
Tuesday 19:00 UTC: Bidding starts
Monday 19:00-21:00 UTC: Bidding ends*
Tuesday 07:00 UTC: Payment deadline
Tuesday 19:00 UTC: Runner-up payment deadline; ads go live
My timezone is PST
Well convert it?
Oh I see, by 12 tonight
I think they gave up biding lmfao
Ur not gonna outbid me on new page
alri spoke to soon
Who said they would?
Lol tf
They was trying to
You put well more then what was needed
Got to secure the bag
the highest limit was 130 and you go and put 900....
He has no choice lmao

I like how he goes quit after you ask do
Welp time to wait until tomorrow to see if he does or not
The notifications saying someone failed to bid in #bids should be added back 
Why did I put it that high 😭
smh
is it just me or do you not have to pay with cpm bidding, i want to pay but it never asks me to

Today I was super happy with my $48 worth of vote credits to put in my bot's roleplay tag, and when I get there two people put in $200 😫 😫 😫 😫
F
Pog i won undefined
that's a bug check #557980216883150849
Do you guys get notified by the bot when you are outbid?
I havent got a single DM from it since the end of June
Same. It’s 100% bugged
E
more info is in #580510490074152961: What's the timeline?
Tuesday 19:00 UTC: Bidding starts
Monday 19:00-21:00 UTC: Bidding ends*
Tuesday 07:00 UTC: Payment deadline
Tuesday 19:00 UTC: Runner-up payment deadline; ads go live
just gonna bump this
Provide more information. What are estimated number of impressions for the tag? How many impressions were bid for ahead of yours?
You only need to pay if you're in the range of expected impressions
Unlike Auction's current week-to-week bidding system. You bid a flat amount for each week of impressions. This means that there are always two winners that can advertise on the platform, and everyo...
hmm
i dont think this had the desired effect, did it?
still just get 2-3 bots scooping up all the impressions
Still, now we are able to advertise in relevant tags. Before, only the rich/giants could
depends
Its common for impressions to get distributed to 5-10 entities
whens the next auction?
the current auctions end <t:1627326000:R> if that's what you mean
Hi friends
Oop, hi! 😄
I think I applied 2 month AGO OMG HAHAHA
Just got into this damn cool program, thanks for those who accepted me! <33
welcome :)
Ah thank youuu! 😄
Heya, pretty new here. From reading past conversations, I got some questions and clarifications needed :)
- Do you pay after your ad has been displayed, or before?
- Your ad lasts till the next bidding, which is a week. Correct?
- Do you receive partial refunds if your ad did not receive the amount of impressions it was expected to get? Or how does that work?
1.before,On cpm bidding by extra impression,you will have to pay for the extra
2-From Tuesday 22:00 gmt 2+ till next week Tuesday 22:00 gmt 2+
3.Only on cpm bidding you get the partial refund
So could you give me a scenario example of a normal bidding process?
1. Place your bid (let's say you won the bid afterwards)
2. Your ad is displayed
3. (What are possible scenarios are next?)
on Normal Bidding:
1.Place your bid
2.Pay for it
3.Your ads get viewed from Time **
on Cpm bidding
1.Place your bid with x impressions
2.Pay for it
3.Your ads get viewed till the number of impressions you have paid for ends
ahh I see okay
so currently I see this,
I read more, and it's talking about paying a flat fee, until your budget runs out. Does that mean that's cpm bidding?
hi
Hello 👋
If bids start on tuesday, why are people able to bid at the moment?
What's the timeline?
Tuesday 19:00 UTC: Bidding starts
Monday 19:00-21:00 UTC: Bidding ends*
Tuesday 07:00 UTC: Payment deadline
Tuesday 19:00 UTC: Runner-up payment deadline; ads go live
I think you misunderstood my question... 😭
It depends on the tag so you know,
Just check this on the tag you are biding on:
ah alright 
@stoic narwhal why wasted your time on leveling
you Increased the slot unnecessarily from 28 to 51
nope
Well every-time they make announcement they say "CEO", Which means u run the company not own it also Oliy meet up with the new CEO. One last thing to also add is Oliy has top role on this server if u check.
welcome back veld
I think I won a bid, since I was the first in the leaderboard, it also deducted my credits. However, I didn't receive any notifications, nor see the ad. Any ideas? It's been an hour
The ads go live after a day, see #580510490074152961
ahh my bad, I skimmed through it and read "after 30 mins due to caching"
Adorations!
Real quick question, I don't have enough money for advertising/auction, but I wanna grow my bot any advise
Get 101 for your bot every month and you can get $15 credits and you can advertise
Hi
What's 101?
ah I see
Hey, so just to clarify, slot 2 literally just means the 2nd card in the first page right?
oof i forgot 101 votes
Ah okay my bot is in only 6 servers with only 700 users
So I don't think that'll happen
How much tags to add to someone else bot
@low hinge just saw the news, appreciate your leadership throughout the months you’ve been leading the team, thank you and congratulations @verbal girder on your new role and I’m glad to see both of you be part of this wonderful journey.
This will be epic!
I noticed not many people are bidding this week
Hey, I need some clarification. Between these two, which one is correct?
CPM Bidding: You pay for an impression estimation, and if it exceeds the estimation by the end of the week, you'll have to pay extra.
CPM Bidding: You pay for an impression estimation, and your ad will disappear after your budget is completely used.
Sorry for the ping btw, forgot to turn it off
Eh, it's okay, I don't mind! :))
They do be spending on whatever they want 😎
Plus, it's important to ping (for me) because yk, I need to know if somebody response to my text.
Ikrrrr 😂
Yeah I get what you mean, same here ✋
Mudae can bid $7000 without wasting a single dollar lmao
Ikr...
I have seen the front page go for around 15k one week
It was nuts
Actually no it was the music tag now that I think about it

why have people bid ridiculous amounts on the server gaming tag- what is this 🤣
maybe im missing something 🤔
idk how much currency you get from server votes.. maybe thats why
1k votes = $1
Ohhhh 
Negative impressions means you’re outside the estimated range
How many members do you think this would bring in for a political server
Idk how high im willing to bid
And I know its a gamble
bruhh
around 100 spambots and 3 real ppl
god damn it i'm having chills again
the 2nd dose hit me harder aa
I thought I was drunk at first when I saw that.
Lolol
Like bro $600 for like 20k impressions? Are these people crazy or am I crazy?
Thats good deal
It's almost 1am here and I'm trying to win a tag
Sad thing is that bids won't finish till another hour
Man I'm sleepy
Yeah that sucks
hi
Hi
if I could have recieved this month's credits I would have won the Pokémon Tag 
@frosty relic we playing the bid at the last second game eh, you know this isn't eBay right
lol
I'm gonna go eat my spaghetti Bolognese, cya later 
Is there anyway to only pay for 1 if the bids you maid
Sense I was testing out the new bidding thingy
nope
it's not wise to "test" on a live system
np
Bruh why can I not bid after the glitch, that has to warrant some kind of bid delay
It's not fair to smaller bot devs and only works out in favor of those with money 
advertising is for those with money to spend on it isn't it?
although I see your point
we all start somewhere
I promised the credits would be there before you had to pay
Ukraine timezones sucks
I'm on vacation for a month and completely missed the bid time
What's up?
not so much
I mean, don’t you have another 3 weeks to use them 😬
you can as a product
Yea I thought that
Why did you try $50 when the minimum bid for that tag is $275
It’s going to go to $1k+ by Monday anyways so no need to freak out
Oh phew
I thought it usually goes to like 300 max
Nah, it went to like $4.1k yesterday
SHEEEEEEE
How tf are people so rich
Not people but famous bots that actually corporations
Hello
@dry gorge Sorry about that, should be fixed
how much does the top page bid usually end at? (servers)

a few hundreds of dollars i think
Are the DM Alerts when we get outbid working properly already?
they should
Wait, not sure if these are a thing
I just remember winning an auction does dm you
there's new options regarding notifications, one of them being a discord notification
not sure if that only applies to winning an auction or getting outbid
No, haven't had time to fix it yet
lmao, i've got no words to describe
👀
yeah I think some people don't really understand how this new system works
I didn't until I spent some time reading about it and kinda guessing
also can anyone else like not load the site at all right now?
wtf
@low hinge i’m getting a BadLimitDownload error when i try to bid
sorry I mean BadLimitDownbidding
even though im not down bidding
?
can you ss ?
?
20$ per 1000 impressions yes
tag ?
top page slot 2
2.27 @ 15
ohh
you canno't pass to 30 -> 15
I see
Pog discord canary down
No wonder, I was tryna fix my internet
it means the limit is lower than the one currently bidded
I forgot bidding, Rip
Ok I didn't get a single notification about being outbid
veld stated earlier he hasnt had the time to look at/fix the outbid dms
zero impressions, 1 click, infinite ctr 
Known bug
not a bug actually, seems adblock stopped our impression tracking
clicks are backend-driven
so they can't block those
Intresting
bug or what
interasting

Yeah it's over I got billed
Woo

ez pz
lmfao
my ad is very sus

discord dev terms would like to have a word with you 
pacha
@rancid root fix up
Just let it end
why dont u have bot dev role?
server owners can be here too
I lost my old account cuz of 2FA, top.gg team transferred the bot to this account but forgot to give the bot dev role
tbh doesnt really matter its just a role
ahh i see
u should ask veld or someone for it
nah its fine
i acquired it lol
too much trouble just for a role lol
lol u need 100k guilds i need 250 mines in 166
it'll get to 100k eventually but this will speed it up a bi tmore. i put ads on my 700k guild bots dashboard ezpz
