I have received too many PMs from Digitalpoint forums and emails asking for a tips to get accepted by Adversal. Honestly, I am no expert but from my research and interviews (I am referring to the answers I got from Adversal’s staff), I pretty much sure if you follow the following advise, you will likely have a bigger chance of getting accepted by them.

  1. Using your NON-PROXY sites, apply to Adversal.
  2. Make sure prior to sign ups, you blocked China [CN], Iran [IR] and Russia [RU]. Use geotargeting on your site, it helps.
  3. AFTER signing up, send an email to psupport -a-t- adversal -d-o-t- com and tell them a few additional details about your site such as stats screenshot etc. You may add that you have a few high traffic sites (if you really have them) and give the url out. If you are going to use it on proxies, tell them that you are also interested running their ad network on web proxy sites. You can mention this site too if needed.
  4. They might asked you this when they reply:

    As a requirement, your site must consist of 50% North American traffic and in reviewing your application, it has been determined that more
    information is necessary.

    - Can you provide country stats?
    - What countries are you currently blocking?
    - Do you own other proxy or proxy related sites that you are planning to use Adversal on? If so, does your block list apply to these sites as well?

Things that you need to understand:
This is from Adversal staff: If the applicant’s site complies with our terms, it could simply come down to a timing issue. Applications can be turned down if we don’t have enough advertisers to fill a site’s inventory, or if we have too many sites of similar focus already active in our network. In the case of proxies, the ladder usually tends to apply more.

Costly Human Error

human error

Some of you might know that ProxyWhereabouts.com has been down more than 12 hours and still down as of the time I’m writing this. At first I thought my site was hacked since it does not detected any of the files structure I used to access. So, I alerted my admin and my DC. To my surprised, my DC replied saying the IP that is associated with ProxyWhereabouts.com was assigned to another server! WTF!

I have been using that IP for more than a year and they give me BS reason that the IP hasn’t been used more than 15 days so it will automatically be assigned to another client. Of course they will not see any activity because the IP was used as a nameserver!

I asked for the IP to be reassigned to my server again but it has already been assigned to another client. So, I guess I have to use another IP. For now it looks like the new IP has propagate itself within US but yet to reach my country. I hope everything will be fine as it should be.

Lesson learnt here is, ALWAYS bind all IPs to your server to prevent them being assigned to someone else.
