When do the ads go live?

they start go go live (3 minutes ago)
it can take a bit due to caching for the first ones to show up! and then they go live based on their CPM leaderboard (so the highest CPM ads show first, and then the next, etc)

@unreal turtle continue here if you wish, however there is nothing more that i have to add to the conversation 😄
unreal turtle
Ok my point was:
If I pay for an advert which tells me I should receive an estimate of 62,000 impressions and I pay for it on time and before the deadline which is not mentioned on the actual payment screen. Then later I am told that my payment did go through but their system didn't mark it as completed until after their deadline. It is still the responsibility of Topgg to show that advert at the cost which had been agreed upon as I had paid for it and done so well in advance.
If Topgg cannot do that then I have been lied to in the product I have been sold.
I've paid for a product which I will never receive
That's theft

Don't really see what they're misinforming people of, their request for a refund seems pretty valid to me. Unless you can replicate the exact conditions when they purchased the ad and when it'd have gone live then they did indeed pay for a product that they would not receive.
Which seeing as you can't guarantee the people who will bid, their amounts, the people who will view their ad and the people who will click on it will be the exact same people as when the advert should have gone live then they should be refunded the money they paid rather than being given it as credit. I wouldn't call that drama either.
amber meteor
bit hasty on the threat to mute
they paid money and they're asking where is the promised product
reasonably upset

glossy flower
they paid money and they're asking where is the promised product
they received credit for it but that wasn't the issue, it was due to the fact that they didn't receive it despite paying for it, so because topgg cant replicate the exact conditions and promise the exact cost that they would have received on the date(s) the advertisement would have shown then topgg have promised a product which they can't deliver so they should receive a refund to their card, not the credit for the original payment amount
that's their issue
its also ridiculous to me that once you deposit money into topgg, you will never get it back under any circumstances even if it's for a fair reason and quite legitimate reason
their guidelines also seem to state that topgg do indeed offer refunds but it doesn't appear to mention that you can only get it as credit not a refund to your card which is not how I believe anyone reading that would interpret it
oak whale

In dms? Didn’t think topgg used dms for stuff like this
Besides, they just asked in a public channel where their terms covered chargebacks because they felt like they were being ignored
Then someone asked about their situation
And policy never changes without people speaking out against it
oak whale
In a private thread. Sorry, not dms.

glossy flower

To be completely fair it’s not like a refund system as long as the entire payment hasn’t been consumed or used in any way is an unfair thing to offer, and it’s also something that is offered by every payment gateway. Even if you did something like “contact topgg before the ad goes live and yeah we can refund it”, that’s not too much of a stretch either, it’s quite unreasonable to not offer one in my personal opinion and I’m sure others feel the same way
It also gives more of an appearance that topgg was money grabbing rather than topgg cares about its clients (past, present and future)
Anyway. I’m done now

Well, that's a 4% CTR which is pretty solid compared to other ad types.
Maybe not in the top.gg world (I can get around 8% with my ad), but still pretty decent
mint trail
Damn! Ok I cant top that!!!
I only made 5% this week but I was on slot 2 so I can't expect much
My biggest problem with my bot is retention. Half of my invites kicked in the first 24h
My theory is that since the ads launch on a Tuesday (yuck), it's sometimes better to be down in the list so you get preferable days.
I would bet that weekends see more clicks and invites because less people are at work/school.

if you pay to expect only around half of what it says then you'll have a good amount to bid

as far as this slot, of course that and the voting confirmation are going to be bad slots for anything that is directly competing for what they just did. However, if a company filled that slot for say an ad for an energy drink or something, it may generate more traffic and better results

If you got 2nd place and you were estimated to get impressions, then your ad will run whenever the first place bidder gets all of their impressions. If you dont get all of the impressions that were estimated, then you will be refunded after this auction ends. If you were estimated to get 0 impressions, then your ad isnt likely to go live, but you also werent charged anything either

We can reverse engineer a goal by looking at the views and clicks Top.gg gives us.
By dividing clicks by views, we can get the percentage of clicks all ads have gotten
(from Top.gg estimates)
Here I got 0.072% that an impression also clicks on your ad.
Now it's hard to tell how that's concentrated, but you can roughly aim for 0.072% as your click rate for your ad, if you are far below this, you should attempt to adjust your ad.
This is only for those who are bidding on ads for that ad placement, so you'll have to do the math for ad placements in other places on the site.

candid lily
the clicks, which is essentially what you're asking for, may not be forseeable, so the CTR (click through rate, meaning impressions that lead to a click from an ad) may not be high
a good CTR percentage is what you're looking for, you might get a higher CTR on tags that are related to the product and often popular
general tips about increasing your CTR is making your ad stand out from others, make it appeal to viewers, consider using easy to understand language on the description etc

Why does higher max budget increase CTR? If my budget is higher am I supposed to keep bidding up to that point?
versed solar
Why does higher max budget increase CTR? If my budget is higher am I supposed to...
From my understanding, a higher max budget may increase it - to a point. How percentages work is across a long period of time Event A should happen X% of the time. With a small sample set it can differ. For example, possible when flipping a coin to get 7 heads and 3 tails out of 10 flips. When you get larger and larger, it gets closer to the 50/50 chance we all know. If you pay for just a 100 impressions, it will be more skewed then how accurate a CTR of a 1000 impressions.
versed solar
Why does higher max budget increase CTR? If my budget is higher am I supposed to...
The tradeoffs of just putting all you got in a bid can be insignificant. You don't what your CTR will be for sure. This means that maybe paying for 10,000 more views only increases your CTR from 6.99% to 7%, depending on your situation - maybe not worth it. I wouldn't focus on pushing a large budget to increase your CTR; however, it should have an impact on CTR.

what CTRs essentially are is the percentage from an impression that caused a click (impression: a view; click: a click on an ad)
and that's things you cant force really
apart from having an appealing ad, aswell as one that is actually related to the tag you're looking at

When do you know you have bid enough to have your ad shown?
Is it top 10? Or goes by how many available impressions there is based on estimate

It’s not always top 10, it depends on how much impressions one bid for and if he’s able to save the spot
One could also take all the impressions and the others get nothing

When do you know you have bid enough to have your ad shown?
You’ll mostly get notified by the bot or get an open payment which basically means you’ve saved yourself a potential spot

What does it mean to save a spot? For example, there is now an ad for Lemonade in Front Page Top Voted Slot 2 bidding $1.00 @ $3 Budget. He is at the bottom. Do just need to be ahead of him with $1.25 CPM? Do I save a spot for"initial bid" but lose it the minute anyone in the auction decides to raise their bid CPM above mine?
An example I'm thinking of is I'm bidding for 20,000 impressions, but a guy wants 1,000 impressions but higher CPM decides to bid after I bid, would it bump me out?

When you bid, your product's name is shown on the leaderboard in either white or greyed out - if you are in white, that means you are estimated to receive impressions.
it doesn't matter what order they are bid in, its based on CPM - so yes, if he bids for less impressions but a higher CPM, he will be shown first and possibly "take" some of your impressions.
I would recommend reading this article: https://support.top.gg/support/solutions/articles/73000508235-how-does-cpm-bidding-work- it has a lot of visual guides to help explain CPM bidding

I have so far only seen things greyed when an auction ends, but if I make a bid it will automatically decide to grey or white or does it figure that out after the auction closes?

Here is an example (Gaming Tag, Slot 1 for bots)
the top two are in white, and are estimated to receive impressions
the bottom two are greyed out, so unless they increase their CPM over the other two, they are not estimated to receive any impressions
the top two have taken all of the available estimated impressions
"estimated impressions" are the past 4 weeks actual impressions divided by 4 (so the average amount of impressions for the past month) - obviously the category could get more than estimated or less than estimated - this is where automatic refunds or retroactive charging occurs

So I'll know for sure a bid is good now if it will come out white immediately?

if its white, it means you are estimated to receive impressions yes! it matters who is white at the very end of bidding though (you can get kicked down)

There is no delay in the website deciding the bid is good, it's all immediate. If that's correct, then thank you for your help

my 3rd ad has more clicks than impressions
This makes me worry they’re not measuring clicks or impressions correctly
Which makes it hard to bid on the most effective slots properly

This makes me worry they’re not measuring clicks or impressions correctly
they told me yesterday that the analytics page is buggy
so it's really hard to see if the ads are doing good or not

If it’s just that page that’s at least okay. Still hard to measure success but better than the core measurements we’re bidding on being wrong
