Questions
Straight answers about advertising on BallerTube.
How much does it cost?
You pay per 1,000 views (CPM). Rates start at $3 and every price is on the pricing page. The smallest campaign is $50. There are no setup fees and no contract.
What counts as a view?
A view is one impression. For display ads, it is counted when your ad loads in its slot. A slot only asks for an ad when the visitor scrolls within about 300 pixels of it, so ads at the bottom of a page are only counted for people who get that far. For pre-roll, a view is counted when your video starts playing. Known bots and crawlers are never counted. You pay your CPM for every 1,000 views.
How fast can my ad go live?
A person reviews every campaign, usually within one business day. You get an email the moment it is approved. If something needs a change, we tell you exactly what.
What if I do not spend my whole budget?
Whatever is not spent when a campaign ends or when you stop it goes straight back to your balance. You can use it on your next campaign.
What sizes do I need?
Each package lists the sizes it uses: 970×250, 728×90, 300×250 and 320×100 for display, and a 15 or 30 second MP4 for pre-roll. Upload JPG, PNG, GIF or WebP up to 1.5 MB. Double-size images (for example 1940×500) look sharper on phones and laptops. See ad formats.
Can I target a location?
Yes. Pick the countries and US states where your ad should run. City and sport targeting are coming next.
Can I pick which pages my ad shows on?
Yes. Each package is a set of placements (for example "Homepage, after the 2nd block" or "Video page, under the player"). Untick any you do not want.
How do I see results?
Your dashboard shows views, clicks, click rate and spend for every day. Numbers refresh hourly, and the most recent hour can take up to two hours to appear. Each image size gets its own numbers too.
Can I pause or stop a campaign?
Yes, anytime. Pausing takes effect within a few minutes. Stopping ends the campaign and returns the unspent budget.
What can I not advertise?
Adult content, illegal products, weapons, scams and anything misleading. Sportsbooks and betting are welcome when the operator is licensed where the ad runs. The full list is in the ad policy.
How do I pay?
By card through Stripe. Add funds to your balance, then spend it on campaigns. Need an invoice instead? Email [email protected].
Can you build the campaign for me?
Yes. For budgets over $2,500 we plan the placements and can help with the creative. Email [email protected].
