We are pleased to announce the successful deployment of version 2.5 of the Adbank beta platform.

The development team has been working hard to integrate several requested items ahead of schedule including HTML5 compatibility, overlay video ads, disturbing content validation, manual matching and more.

The launch of Intergalactic Ads, Adbank’s crypto ad network, has helped shape the development timeline efficiently by getting realtime feedback from advertisers and publishers actively using the platform.

This update of the Adbank platform is focused on providing advertisers with more tools to make their campaigns successful today. Dr. Fodé Touré and the development team continue to push the boundaries of what is possible with a small but passionate team on aggressive timelines.

Here are some of the main features added in this update:

HTML5 Banner Compatibility

Advertisers can now upload and run ads created using HTML5 animation to open up greater possibilities for dynamic creative.

Floating DHTML

A new inventory item for publishers is giving advertisers a creative new option with floating ads in HTML format.

Overlay Video Ad

In preparation for future video advertising compatibility, we have integrated overlay ads for publishers with video content they want to monetize.

This will allow advertisers to run a video ad before a user loads their selected content on a publisher site.

Overlay In-Line Video Ad

This allows advertisers to display banner ads in the lower third of video content on publisher sites.

Manual Matching

Previously, the only option to control what sites your ads would display on was through automatic keyword matching. The manual matching feature allows users to select which sites their ads show up.

UTM Codes

Adding UTM codes is now more streamlined for advertisers that want to use their own tracking links.

Geotargeting Enabled

Advertisers can now select and exclude specific regions at the country and state/province level.

Disturbing Content Validation

Publishers can now enable a machine learning powered tool that analyzes images to detect the content of ads to exclude nudity, alcohol and other content that may be deemed offensive.

User Hard Delete

Users can now hard delete all their data in their accounts to comply with the new GDPR rules.

Password Recovery

The login page now has a password recovery option that displays when a password is typed incorrectly.
