Hey there,

I was wondering if someone is using the InStream Ads App?
http://stackideas.com/apps/item/3247-instream-ads-for-easy-social
Disclaimer: Support will be provided by the application or plugin developer.

It is listed free but is is not and quite very expensive for a plugin...US$ 69.99 that is half the price of the component Ad Agency Pro (US$ 147.00) !!

The developper's website (if they really coded the plugin??) is not a site to drive confidence...
- Poor design for a developper website !!
- Very slow
- The about us is not explaining who they are but describes the plugin in a few lines
- No terms & conditions
- No support policy

Does stackideas have real and confirmed information about this plugin and the developper??
Have you tested it ?

I am wondering if this plugin is really downloadable (and working), if it will ever be supported in a timely manner, for how long... ??
Hey Supporter,

I will forward this thread to the owner of the app. He's actually one of our customer as well

No problem I have already pasted the link to his Skype, but he hasn't responded yet. I guess he's probably busy

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out. If you need any assistance with this plugin please let me know. As for the app store on EasySocial, I have asked Mark to have the price changed. When I submitted it to the Stack Ideas app store, I listed the price, but for some reason it was put as "free", so I am sorry for that.

We created the plugin for our own social media site that we are completing now and decided to release a "generic" version that integrates Ad Agency into EasySocial, so that others can enjoy having in-stream, geo targeted ads, such as we all see on Facebook. Also, we like Ad Agency because it is a comprehensive, ad management solution that allows a number of ads to be selected with a nice front end work flow for advertisers. We actually just completed another version of the plugin that fixes some bugs we just found, so please hold on purchase for another day or so. I will be uploading the new version of the plugin to the shopping cart for download.

As for the quality of the site - I realize it's not the best. I didn't want to bother any of the "real" developers on our team with this, so I built this website store myself in a day and realize it's lack luster. Although, what's important is that you receive quality support and follow through and that, I can and will provide.

As for the cost, yes it's going to be a bit more expensive to purchase this, along with Ad Agency, but when you look at the financial benefit this can bring to your site, there is really no comparison. If you are building an active community within your EasySocial driven site, you can earn much more revenues from this type of solution.

Hope that helps. If you need anything further, please contact us at: support@onenameglobal.com

Best,

Christopher

Hey Chris,

It looks like you missed the option "Paid" and this is why it was appearing as Free. I have updated it for you now

I had other more important things to do before installing AdAgency.
Now this is done I checked again this app I thought there might be some improvement done to the app website to drive more confidence.
Unfortunately the website is not accessible anymore: This site has exceeded the allotted bandwidth.
And the contact page is a 404: Page not found

It might be a better option to ask iJoomla directly to provide the app, what do you guys think?

Hi Supporter,

Look like your web hosting has a limit on the bandwidth? You might want to check with your hosting provider as well regarding this matter.
Hope this help

Hi,

We launched this app on Web.com and are not happy with the service there. We will resubmit this app when we have our store set up on our website. We will have some improvements to InStream Ads plugin as well.

Please feel welcome to check with me in the future: ckramer@onenameglobal.com

In the meantime, I did ask Mark to remove our app from Stackideas.

Thanks,

Chris

Hi Supporter,

I apologize for the confusion this has caused. The developer working on this plugin has had some medical issues come up, which caused delay in relaunch of the plugin and our overall project as well. Please add me on Skype to discuss a solution offline: onenameglobal

Thank you,

Chris

Guys,

Have you guys tried the SocialAds from Techjoomla? I have heard from some customers that they are using it to link with EasySocial.

Sure, I am open for discussions. By the way, some customers did told me that Techjoomla's Social Ads are much better than Adagency. What issues do you guys have with social ads?

Hello,
I restart this old post.

In my opinion, currently, only iJoomla offers an acceptable advertising extension.
And this InStream Ads App interests me. Can we hope to have access again?
Thank you.

I believe the owner has already discontinued the app as they were having some issues.

This is unfortunate.
SocialAds and AdAgency are not able to display advertisements in the EasySocial stream, natively.

So there is only Stackideas that could offer a high-level advertising solution !

Hm, I always thought that Social Ads is capable of handling this? no?

No, unfortunately SocialAds use only module positions for insert adverts.
It's not native. And moreover AdBlock block this.

I have an idea.
And if we had Broadcast Stream, in addition to Broadcast Popup and Broadcast Notification ?
(Please see images in attachments)

This would allow a User or even a Page to broadcast an announcement on the site globally or more targeted (Profile or Group).
This announcement would be like a classic post, that one could like, comment and repost...

Thank you.
Philippe

Hm, don't really get you but if you post a popup or notification broadcast, they would both already generate a stream item. I don't really see a point in also performing a stream broadcast?

Because this stream item generated is only visible on main stream and author profil.

The option to select a specific Group doesn't work in your demo.
The stream item is not visible in the Group which was designated.
