Show HN: Adlove – The Endorsement-Driven Ad Network

Great, can't wait to see publishers "endorse" their advertising partners because they really "love" them so much. I wonder how many publishers would even buy into this given that their primary reason for integrating with an ad network is to make big ad revenue to support their (mostly) content-driven business.

Really, so its a tinier ad window with a big colored heart and the publisher&#x27;s logo. How is this such an improvement?<p>And can we please kill off all this fake &quot;love&quot; and &quot;heart&quot; crap?

Hocus pocus.<p>&gt;&quot;Ordinary Display Advertising Performance: Estimated percent successful 1%&quot;<p>&gt;&quot;Estimated Adlove Performance: Estimated percent successful 50 %&quot;<p>Do you have ANY success metrics to back up this claim?

Might be a step in the right direction. A bigger bolder step would be to have the endorsements come from people browsing the site. I think it would move the trust problem of sites endorsing their advertisers out of the business model and into the general miasma of ratings and influencers where analytics and statistics can be applied to improve the objectivity of reported ratings.<p>Good luck.

Someone has to fix this problem, but I wish the front page of this site had more to say about how the network actually functions and how it is different.

I seriously doubt the returns. The publisher calculator said that switching to them would earn 7x what I make from normal ads. If <i>anyone</i> could accomplish that, they would instantly be successful and bought for a huge premium by FB, Google, etc.

Don&#x27;t type in that &#x27;brand Twitter handle&#x27; input box unless you want the site to flood your browser history :(

I thought at first this was for consumer endorsement of the publisher&#x27;s ads.<p>There are some times when advertising is uninteresting and intrusive. There are some times when advertising introduces products&#x2F;services that I wouldn&#x27;t have known about otherwise.<p>I wish there were better ways for consumers to encourage the latter.

Sign up with Twitter with what speculates it may be my biggest income for the site?<p>That seems a bit.. odd. I&#x27;m not sure why, it just sort of puts me off.

It looks like the Sign Up page is currently blank [1].<p>I am interested in AdSense alternatives so I wonder, does anybody have any other suggestions?<p>1 - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;app.adlove.com&#x2F;#&#x2F;login?signup=true" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;app.adlove.com&#x2F;#&#x2F;login?signup=true</a>

The About page was more informative and engaging than the Home page.

The setup is way too complicated.<p>I have TO CHOOSE WHICH ADS ARE GOING TO SHOW? How come that is going to work?
