Bidfox

The system is evolving; I've been following it since its launch, and I now notice that it has expanded to several social networks, with a significant increase in the number of groups. Along with Odnoklassniki, you can now place ads on VKontakte, Facebook, Instagram, and Telegram. For the first three platforms, a minimum of 10,000 subscribers is required in communities with established reach and engagement coefficients, while for the others, it's 5,000 and 1,000, respectively. I selectively checked the platforms, and Instagram and Telegram did not leave a good impression on me; I can't say anything about Facebook since I don't advertise there, but VKontakte and Odnoklassniki are simply excellent. Affinitive targeting is available, which allows for consideration of demographics, reach, community themes, and other parameters. It's important to remember that while reach is considered unique, it can include multiple platforms in one advertising campaign, where the audience often overlaps. Therefore, reach cannot be called completely unique, as everything is taken into account. Another point concerns formats. There are direct and native formats. In theory, the latter should be more effective, but in practice, it all depends on how attractive the ad will be. In the case of the native format, after selecting the platforms, you need to fill out a brief, indicating the product, its advantages, and so on. Based on that, specialists will create the creative, but it's not guaranteed that it will be truly impressive. However, after creation, it will definitely be sent for approval. From my experience and the reports I've received, promo turned out to be more effective than native. But that's just my opinion.

I recommend BidFox for advertising on OK. This exchange is an official partner of the social network and offers almost complete automation of processes. Full support might provide more opportunities, but it's important to choose the right public pages, as there are many in the database. I have never ignored advertising on OK, as there are many paying users here, unlike VK. However, I didn't run ads as effectively before as I do now. Among the drawbacks, I can note the double moderation, which rejects some creatives. First, the post goes through moderation within the exchange, and then in the social network itself. This leads to two problems: 1. Some creatives do not pass, even though they seem to comply with the rules, but are on the edge of what is acceptable. The return could have been 100%. 2. Moderation takes an average of about two hours, which complicates quick ad setup.

A good platform for placing ads on social media. The format used here is significantly more convenient than independently searching for platforms, communicating with administrators, and going through numerous approvals. Payment is made not for placement, but for reach. The platform takes data from social networks, multiplies it by the rate, and that's how the service price is determined. I am especially pleased that if a post ultimately achieves a lower reach than projected, the difference will be refunded. There are no fees for account replenishment; all expenses are covered by the platform. Another plus for me is that they operate as legal entities, so they provide expense reports that I can pass on to accounting. The system has many platforms, and you can use total subscribers, reach, average ad reach, primary target audience, average age of the target audience, and so on for selection. Each platform has an approximate cost of placement indicated in advance. Overall, at the selection stage, it becomes clear that you won’t be paying for a pig in a poke. Of course, you can find a good platform and negotiate directly with the administrator for better terms, but BidFox really saves a lot of time. I only need to determine the time frames, create the creatives, and then monitor the appearance of the ad posts and their effectiveness. Reports display reach, click-through rates, and so on. Plus, you can identify the most successful creatives to move in the right direction.

Launching direct and native advertising on Odnoklassniki through BidFox is very convenient. Although the exchange also works with other social networks, I prefer to use it mainly for native advertising on Odnoklassniki, while I usually order direct advertising through MyTarget. The creatives here are designed to fit seamlessly into the specific community, making them look like content posts rather than ads. This ensures good reach and effectiveness. With direct advertising, you handle all the actions yourself, but I like that choosing the right platform is not difficult. The prices for placement through BidFox depend on the cost per 1000 impressions on a specific platform and the potential reach of the ad. The post is placed for 24-72 hours, after which the statistics are recorded, and the post is removed. In case of lower reach, a recalculation is possible.

The site is absolutely useless! There is no information about payment rules. Ads for questionable resources stay on the site for three days, but since no one makes purchases, there will be no income from advertising. This is pure fraud! For 1500 views on a video, you can "earn" only 2.8 rubles. Overall, you'll just ruin your reputation among your followers.

Five orders disappeared from the statistics panel, and none of them were paid. In short, this is a scam. I reached out to the administrators, and they replied, "Yes, we'll look into it," but no action was taken. The attitude towards the issues that arose is extremely dismissive. I strongly do not recommend this affiliate program — you will simply be deceived and not paid.

Recently, I decided to withdraw a large sum of money. I logged into my account, but there was no money there. I contacted customer support, and they informed me that there were no funds. How is that possible if I earned it, and it was taken without my knowledge? Soon my account was blocked due to inappropriate communication with customer support. I am in complete shock. Don't trust them. They are scammers.

They pay a pittance for views, and for everything else, there are only mysteries, yet they still consider themselves kings. We'll connect one group, but not another. The group is active, attendance is high, and it's unclear what else they lack. It would be better if the owners of the pages appreciated the fact that they are being offered advertising placements. It seems they will only be gathering their views within their own group.

The prices are simply absurd, the earnings are zero, and it's a calculation based on inactive group owners who will realize they're being deceived, but not immediately. Moreover, this fraudulent product being advertised could scare away your subscribers. Additionally, the cost per 1,000 reached users is 200 times lower than even the highest prices on official platforms. Even at the registration stage, I noticed problems with the website: sometimes the SMS didn't arrive, and the authorization failed.

I have been working with this platform for a long time and gradually promoting groups by adding new ones to the exchange. Currently, I have 6 groups on Bidfox: one on VK with 24.5K subscribers and five on OK with a total of 161K subscribers. The prices here are indeed low, but lately, there have been constant issues with the settings. I go into the group settings, activate media posts, and save the changes, but the next day they are disabled again. When I contact technical support through the chat on the website, they just laugh and suggest clearing the browser cache. Honestly, that's not serious! With the increase in the number of groups, I used to earn at least some pocket change, but the situation has worsened significantly in the last month! I could say that I have few subscribers or not enough activity (I don't inflate likes or subscribers; the groups have been developing independently for a long time and are quite active), but there should still be some earnings, right? There are extremely few offers, and those that exist have been "wandering" around the network for years and are of no interest to anyone. Are you not looking for new advertisers at all? What’s the point of the exchange then? This is primarily beneficial for the service — good sales. I am looking for alternatives to Bidfox online, but so far I haven’t found any, and I don’t see any prospects here.
