FAQ:  Click here and go to our Information Hub to see full FAQ


Are you guys another scrapper site or aggregator?

Absolutely not. Scrapper sites are inaccurate and perpetuate inefficiencies. Everything on AdFor is user-created and in real-time.  The AdFor portal provides a direct connection between buyer and seller.  Our platform is preoptimized for User/ Shopper Anonymity & Operator Merchant Identification, which is the fundemental interlock that enables a truly Safe, Virus & Malevolent Blackhat free exchange.  The core AdFor difference is the Real Time, Real Relevance and Real World remedy that comes from removing all the affiliates and non-identifiable ad exchangers or publishers, which are essentially causing all the Mayhem in Marketing.  AdFor.US is Freeing Us from dubbious & harmful content.  Without which, AdFor Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) & other marvelous Features & Benefits wouldn't be possible.

 

How much will AdFor cost-

to consumers?

Our fee to consumers is free, of course.  

 

to businesses?

Our fee to business will likely be $500 dollars per year, per business location to maintain the servers and security in house-  Well below the current recommended 1-10% of gross sales revenue or industry average of $5000 per campaign-  Which, incidently, serves as the biggest barrier to entry that has left 75% of small business owners off the web far to long.

 

Can we see the AdFor.US demo?

Simple answer- Not yet.  Founders will see it well before anyone else.  AdFor is very simple to clone and launch everywhere.  And while the template is easy to clone, the functions wouldn't be there.  Our brand would be soiled and the populace would have yet another disappointing experience.  Rather than expending resources defending AdFor intellectual property, I've decided to keep it- need to know

 

Why don't you just launch city by city?

Initially, this is all I could think about doing.  Starting with Omaha, Nebraska a.k.a Silicon Prairie, where we have an established network of friends and family.  After a long pedantic journey through the entrepreneurial combinator / accelerator ecosystem meeting with other founders of lean startups,  bootstrappers and seeders, discussing vertical and horizontal scaling, etc. - The numbers indicate that the city to city approach is more adept for singularly distinctive products and services- more likely to generate just enough buzz and just enough revenue to barely tread water.  In the world of the internet webs' exponential, a city to city approach seemed more like a door to door approach and AdFor is a big enough idea to move continent to continent.  On the other hand, we fully expect to have to go parking lot to parking lot to assuage the failed promises of other local shopping apps.  

 

Why not try and get venture capital?

We’ve explored the startup scene and what venture backing would like look, but it’s not the right choice for AdFor. Any deal with venture capitalists would involve making sacrifices that would ultimately end up hurting the project because ROI would be the driving force to launch AdFor. There were sacrifices we weren’t willing to make, such as losing control of our own board, APIS selections, communication negotiations, intended customizations, location preferences, losing control of the database remunerations, updates, and user security.

 

What does getting your business verified mean?

Each merchant must have an actual EIN (Employer Identification Number). Additionally, our system will perform its due diligence to verify the person creating the account and become thus titled “Account Manager.”

 

What is "Mayhem Marketing" and what do you mean and end to it?

AdFor.US will essentially remove all the 'middle men' practices causing the online display advertising barriers in the 'Local' online display advertising arena.  They are: SEO, SEM, PPC, Affiliate marketing... click here for a full list.

 

$50,000 will suffice to get AdFor developed and positioned throughout the U.S. to an anticipated to user / operator base of 200,000 or so.  


Additionally funding AdFor.US will increase our visibility nationally and expedite horizontal national scaling substantially.  


This gives you the basic idea of how it works. We have plans already for our second and third phases of launching, and you’re going to love what’s up our sleeve.  We’re here for the long game.


How will the money be spent?

  • $20,000  (new application / website development)
  • $16,000  (U.S. Launch, marketing)
  • $ 7,000   (Legal)
  • $ 3,500+ (financial collection fees)
  • $ 3,500   (R&D, equipment allowance)

Additionally, a full accounting of founder funds will be displayed on a special page for backers.

What is the Launch Timeline?

@ $25k we will begin product development.  From there we have a tentative Alpha AdFor launch 3 months later.  

What are the Risks and challenges?

The challenge AdFor faces is building a customer base of Users and Operators. We have plans in place to encourage the scaling we’ll need to be successful.

For operators, we have the task of convincing an estimated 1.5M industry professionals AdFor is the right direction despite the $40B+ revenues indicating that everybody is satisfied with online advertising.


For customers, mobile spaces have promised the capabilities AdFor delivers and have failed to meet the desires of the public. Those experiences could sour consumers on trying a new solution. This means we will need to increase exposure to those market segments to yield optimum conversions.

And finally, AdFor is about moving forward. In order to do that, we have to leave a broken system behind. We anticipate resistance - and accept the challenge.
