FAQ

If you are interested in your website promotion, you need to sign up first. As soon as you do that, you will land on the "Verified sites" section. There you can choose a site where you'd like to be placed.

You can find the detailed instructions on how to work with Adsy in this tutorial.

Task status indicates the work stage of your task. To work with tasks and see task details, please click the "Details" button. At different stages of the work, your task's status will change. Here is what each status name means:

• Draft:

  The task has been created but hasn't been sent to Adsy due to the lack of money on your Credits. As soon as you get enough funds, you'll be able to send the task to media partner.

• Task’s Acceptance:

  It is a new task pending the acceptance. It may take up to 3 working days to consider your offer. Once the task is sent to media partner, task payment is transferred from your main Credits to your reserved Credits. Until the task is accepted you can reject it and then find it in the Rejected status.

• In Progress:

  Task is in progress now. Your task is being worked on.

• Your Approval:

  Task has been performed and sent for your approval. Please check it within 7 calendar days. Otherwise, it will be automatically approved by Adsy (if it meets all quality requirements). You can return the task to Adsy for improvement up to 3 times. After the third time, you are able to open a dispute. It means that the task will go for Adsy Administration arbitration.

• Improvement:

  Task is being revised by Adsy. It may take Adsy up to 3 days to improve it.

• Completed:

  Task was successfully completed. Task payment has been transferred from your reserved Credits.

• Rejected:

  Task has been rejected by you.

In addition, you can see the list of all your tasks by choosing the "All" tab in the status line.

This metric shows how long the links stay on the media partner’s site. We calculate it as the percentage of the time that has passed since the completion of the task.

It is also an average value of all the tasks completed by the media partner on a particular site. The bigger the percentage is, the better.

You will see this metric in the “Publish-ready sites” section (we recommend picking performers from the Verified sites menu). We will show this percentage as per the chosen site. On the next page (after you press the “Buy post” button), you will see the percentage for every performer.

The metric “Tasks with Initial Domain & Price” shows how often the posts are placed on the original domains media partner have assigned to the tasks and with the original price.

The rate is calculated in percentages from 0% to 100%. .

This metric is extremely important if you require content and link placement on a specific site.

Search by keyword is an AI-backed feature that helps you find fitting sites intuitively. Go to Publish-ready sites and scroll down. You will notice the search field with the “Keyword” sign.

Type your keyword or short keyphrase to find the site for your content or link placement.

For example, you can write “financial technology,” hit the magnifying glass icon, and get the results.

The site description will match your request. You can click the site URL to check if it’s exactly what you need.

You can read more about this feature here.

Now, as you click on the performer’s name and go to their account you can see not only their rating, number of performed tasks, and feedback from fellow buyers but also 3 metrics.

Please notice that these metrics can be calculated on the basis of a specific site (if there are sales from this site), or can be calculated on the basis of the average values for all sites in the media partner's account that have sales.

• “Average Completion rate” will tell you the average completion rate of the media partner’s account based on the invites.
• “Tasks with Initial Domain” is a metric that shows how often the posts are placed on the original domains media partners have assigned to the tasks. More details are here.
• “Average Lifetime of Links” shows how long the links stay on the media partner’s site. We calculate it as the percentage of the time that has passed since the completion of the task. That will be the average “Avg lifetime of links” rate for the media partner’s account based on the invites.

Each metric varies from 0% to 100%.

• Completion rate and Tasks with Initial Domain&Price with a rate under 50% are in the red zone.
• Completion rate and Tasks with Initial Domain&Price with a rate that equals 50% and up to 70% are in the orange zone.
• Completion rate and Tasks with Initial Domain&Price with a rate that equals or exceeds 70% and up to 100% are in the green zone.
• Lifetime of Links with a rate under 70% is in the red zone.
• Lifetime of Links with a rate that equals 70% and up to 85% are in the orange zone.
• Lifetime of Links with a rate that equals or exceeds 85% and up to 100% are in the green zone.

TAT stands for the turn around time. It shows an average time from the moment a media partner receives the task until it is sent for the buyer’s review. The metric is calculated as an average value from all the media partner’s tasks received for a specific site.

The completion rate is a special metric that is calculated for media partners. It’s a percentage that ranges from 0% to 100%.

The completion rate is calculated for a year (12 months). We will divide each year into quarters (that do not necessarily match the accounting quarters) and multiply each by the special coefficient. The closer the quarter to the current date is, the more important (or weighty) it is.

Completion rate = Tasks completion in the Q1*Q1 Coefficient+Tasks completion in the Q2*Q2 Coefficient+Tasks completion in the Q3*Q3 Coefficient+Tasks completion in the Q4*Q4 Coefficient

What’s essential, the completion rate is calculated separately for each site. That said, if a media partner has five sites, it won’t be an average number for all their sites. We will do the math for each source.

Also, you can notice that there is a completion rate number next to each site (e.g., up to 78.96%). That shows what is the highest measure for the particular site.

Recently, we display media partner- and site-based completion rates.

Please notice that the site(s) won’t be shown in “All sites” if its completion rate is equal to or below 30%.

For instance, a media partner has five sites. Here are the initial parameters for the given sites. (We can count the completion rate in case there were sales on the site; if there were no sales, we could not do this. Usually, those sites are marked with the “new” sign.)

• site1.com - completion rate: NEW
• site2.com - completion rate: 70%
• site3.com - completion rate: 10%
• site4.com - completion rate: 10%
• site5.com - completion rate: 10%

In this case, the average completion rate for this account will be 25%. We will show only the site with a completion rate that is higher than 30% - this condition applies to site 2. We won’t show other sites with completion rates that are equal to or lower than 30%.

As site 1 is new, we will calculate its completion rate based on the average rate for the whole account ((site 2 + site 3 + site 4 + site 5)/4). Its completion rate is 25%, and as it is below 30%, it won’t be displayed in All sites.

This way, you see only qualitative sites with media partners who proved their ability to finish their tasks.

Also, we will calculate an average completion rate. It will be counted as an average completion rate for each site in the media partner's account (media partner basis).

Content purchase statuses indicate the work stage of your content order.

• Draft - the task for content creation was created but not sent to a copywriter.

• Copywriter’s Acceptance - Your article is pending the copywriter’s acceptance in this status.

When you choose sites, you will notice the “Writing & Placement” sign with a price next to it.

“Writing & Placement” means that the content based on your requirements will be written and placed on the chosen site. The price reflects how much the you should pay for placing content and writing it based on your requirements.

• When you start creating the task, you will see the available content size. The first number of words, e.g., 1,000 will reflect the basic content size the you can order for writing. If you are okay with this content length, you will see one price for "Writing & placement" in your order total.

• You can choose another length (e.g., 1,500 words) if you need to. But keep in mind that the extra charge will be applied in this situation.

  The final price you will see in your order total will differ. It will be made of “Writing & placement” and Extra-size content price.

  For instance, the basic charge is $100 for “Writing & placement” of a 1,000-word article. You need 1,500 words. While the extra charge is $50 for writing an extra 500 words, you'll have to pay:

  • $150 if you buy a 1,500-word article,

Adsy shows the site’s traffic based on Ahrefs, Similarweb, and Total Traffic (based on GA4). Yet, sometimes, the numbers could be different. Let’s figure out why.

Here’s how Ahrefs calculates Organic Traffic (quote).

"

• We find all the keywords for which your target ranks in the top 100 organic search results
• We estimate the search traffic your target gets from each of those keywords based on its ranking position, monthly search volume and our estimated CTR for that position
• We sum up the traffic estimations of each keyword.

Remember to treat the organic traffic estimations in Ahrefs as precisely that: estimations.

Here’s why:

• We don’t know all the possible search queries a page ranks for
• Search volumes are just approximations – even Google doesn’t give exact values
• Ranking positions are volatile and can change by the second
• Our CTR estimations are also approximations based on our own CTR model.”

Ahrefs calculates Organic Traffic monthly (based on the last 30 days). The organic traffic of each keyword is calculated (at the respective ranking position).

Here’s how Similarweb calculates Traffic (quote).

There is no straightforward answer on Similarweb’s site, yet, it mentions:

“you'll find key total traffic metrics, including:

• Search Volume: Monthly search average for the keyword or keyword list in Google.
• Search Visits: Clicks on the search results, calculated as a monthly average.”

It also adds:

“Similarweb uses a sample of data to generate the estimations and insights you see on Similarweb. Thus, for websites with a small number of visits, our estimations will not be as statistically significantly accurate. As a general rule, for websites with over 100K monthly visits, we are more confident in our estimations.”

As mentioned above, Similarweb provides monthly traffic.

Here’s how Google Analytics 4 calculates Total Traffic (quote).

"The Traffic acquisition report provides cross-channel traffic source dimensions, a special set of product-agnostic dimensions that help you dig into how you acquire users.

These cross-channel traffic source dimensions provide information across organic and paid traffic sources, google-paid sources and third-party paid sources, buying platforms (e.g., Google Ads, Display & Video 360, Search Ads 360), and inventory sources (e.g., Google Search, YouTube).

You have the option to collect traffic-source data by manually tagging your destination URLs, or by creating integrations between Analytics and your ad platforms (e.g., Google Ads, Search Ads 360, or Display & Video 360) and using the auto-tagging feature available with those integrations."
