NOTICE: New Ad Server may temporarily affect your Ad Revenue

[minzinger]

At the end of this month (August), Tapastic will be switching to a new ad server. This change will improve our Ad Revenue Program experience, but it may result in temporary service interruption for advertising. To elaborate, Tapastic.com will be up and running, but ad banners may not load from time to time. During this period, we ask for your patience.

What does this all mean?

• No more Publisher Portal

Currently, creators are required to log into Publisher Portal, or a separate page, to track ad revenue. We are using a third-party software. Publisher Portal will go away with this update in September.

• Ad Revenue tracking on Dashboard

We are continuing to improve our creator Dashboard. In addition to tracking your series performance, creators will soon be able to directly track monetization including earnings from the Support Program and Ad Revenue Program.

• Ad Revenue Program Eligibility

Creators email us all the time to see if they are eligible for Ad Revenue Program. Although our staff does a great job sending out invitations when creators become eligible, we want to make the process more transparent. Soon, creators will be able to directly check eligibility on Tapastic.

A lot of exciting updates coming soon! Thank you for being a part of Tapastic!

I'm not even a part of the Ad Revenue program and this already sounds a lot more efficient than logging into a separate page. Think we could get that set up for the forums at some point ? lol jk wonderful work guys

Again, a lot more efficient than before. You guys are always coming up with stuff to make navigating and operating a lot smoother.

This is just a suggestion on my part that doesn't and probably WON'T happen for a LONG time lol but what I would love to see in the near or far future is for the forums to become a stronger part of the website. Right now, the forums are very disconnected from the website in the sense that there are people that use it, but there isn't a lot of crossing-over between the two. It would be nice to see the forums become better integrated into the website so they don't seem so separate and disconnected. Again though, if this is something that ever happens, it probably won't happen for a long time lol Just keep up the awesome stuff you're doing now! ~

Yes...we probably need to rework the forum in the future. One step at a time~

All those improvements sound like improvements! That's quite exciting and it's really great to know how much work the team is putting into constantly enhancing the experience. rains cookies

I agree with Uzuki on the forum aspect, but yes, once step at a time. Keep on the awesome work, folks! OuO

Finding good CPM information online is next to impossible, so it is hard to figure out what the threshold for ad revenue is. Do I need 25,000, 40,000 or 60,000 views a month to crawl over that barrier? I realize CPM fluctuates, but having at least a vague idea of the target would be nice.

@swallowsofdoo - Hey Monty - We are working on building in that feature into our dashboard. It'll be much more clear soon. Thx!
