Ummm…don’t see it!

Saw it on another site though and would like to know how the conversion is.

I run a flash game website with decent traffic. I’m going to sign up and try it out right now.

I heard about peel away ads a while back, way before Adtoll. The product looks nice, but it is flash and hardly anyone knows how well they perform right now. High CTR yes, but it has just started and how many of those clicks result in buys/sells, etc?

i know this since a while as “pagepeel”. not really new.

Yes the peel away concept has been around but now its been mainstreamed and is part of an actual ad network where we automate the whole booking of ads, rotations, statistics etc… until now it was just a nice to have one off ad format.

Adtoll’s got some great ideas overall but right now I’m gathering subscribers rather than monetizing … and I use the page peel script on my blog to invite subscribers to sign up.

The eCPM is probably pretty low (relative to interstitials) but they look legit and don’t piss off visitors. I just can’t believe they used the istockphoto ‘business handshake’ image. I’ve seen that dude on way too many sites.

… thank BannersWorld for the stock photo, I personally didn’t realise it was used all that much. Maybe we should have it changed.

[...] A few minutes ago, I had written about the free version of PeelAwayAds script.I read a post on ShoeMoney about the launch of PeelAwayAds support at AdToll. PeelAwayAds is still a very new concept and [...]

I saw this on Chow’s site, and it looks intriguing. Like you said though, probably for high traffic sites, and I’m not quite there yet.

Such “pagepeel” ads were for a short period of time popular in Germany last year. But us far as I can tell they had a really small ctr and aren´t popular anymore.

Thanks Mister Shoemoney, I’ve been looking all over for that type of ad, I think Chow had one before but I didn’t know what the name of that type of ad was and never found it. I think they are pretty cool because it’s so new and people would be very curious because of the strange graphics.

GAH! I want to read about this but have to head out in a few minutes. Can you make money for displaying these ads like Adsense, or is it just a special advertising only for your stuff? This is definitely a great way to monetize that useless space in the corner of the site.

I use better stuff for promoting. This stuff wouldn’t work for me I think.

I think the peel away ads rules, what I great concept.

Shoe - are you at all concerned that as an advertiser who sells private ad space, Ad Toll could harm your revenue potential by publishing CTR data for your private ad spots? I’m assuming they are paying you to promote their service, since you’d be taking a mammoth cut in ad revenue otherwise. In the short-run, it works out well, but long term, this could do more harm than good.

I haven’t seen this before and think it is pretty cool.

Yes, very interesting type of ad indeed.

I’ve used PagePeel ads on several sites for a while now and they work very well but instead of using them with AdToll, I’d recommend finding some good affiliate programs with products that match your site and making your own ads instead. No knowledge of flash is required and you only need to make the small graphic and the large graphic and embed the link. You can even rotate ads.

Does it work with Adsense? Falls within TOS of Googles Adsense?

It is cool to look at, and not intrusive like an interstitial ad. Wonder why blogs don’t capitalize on the interstitial.

I’ve been using peel away ads for some time now.

Properly designed and positioned (not all peelaways are dogears), they can be quite lucrative. And yes, as already stated, roll your own.

Cheers

AdToll, uhm.. I’m seing the same Ad from AdToll for 2 days now, which is pretty much weird.

But if you say you sold good amount, I might retry as CPXInteractive is making me $1 per 12,000 Impressions (huh?!)

I used a page peel script before, had lots of complaints… most of these do not render well with older browsers and they can actually slow down the users computer.

People click them plenty but it seemed most were just curious and did not convert.

Its been around for ages, there are alot of other advertising networks developing an improved version and launching ones shortly too.

I like the peel away ad I see there, but possibly just because I was afraid it would be the kind that’s in the middle of the page so when you accidentally mouseover it grows vastly and interrupts everything you came there to do. There’s a blog I frequently read and comment on that has a big Boca Burger ad that does this, and I have to sit there and wait for the ad to shrink again. So annoying! So does not make me hungry!

The peel away thing is kind of irritating. It sometimes inteferes with getting to the right things on a top nav bar. I don’t personally like it.

As a consumer of ads, I love the idea. I feel this is going to be very successful, if not only because i peel away link in the corner is intriguing!

I just installed adtolls on all 4 of my sites and it seems to get a lot of views and hits from my truck forum. From my 3 blogs it just gets ok traffic. But from my truck forum so far over 700 hits in just the last day. I even got an advertiser less than 24 hours of enabling the peel away code. Not bad if you ask me.
