REVIEW FOR ADCASH

Adcash, the platform we are discussing today is an Ad-network as is evident from its name. It’s been in the industry for almost a decade 9 years to be specific) although I tried it out just recently, and the results drove me to get this review out here for you guys.

Well first of all, nope it’s not a “paid” platform, meaning you don’t have to buy an account so nope I’m not trying to sell you anything. They offer free accounts for both Advertisers as well as Publishers and I intend to discuss both their perspectives.

I see myself fit to scribble this review down for several reasons, let’s start with my 4+ years with ad networks including Adwords, Bing Ads, MaxAd, Max PPC and others as a publisher and I’ve taken care of couple ad campaigns for some Adwords and bing clients as well. So yeah I know what I’m talking about. (Just so you know I’ve been where you are, I know what we expect and need and that gives me a comparative edge between the platforms!)

So let’s get down to business.

What is Adcash?

Adcash is an Ad-network as I’ve already stated, now there are reasons why and how it’s unique and different and those are the same reasons why I’m writing this review. If it was all the same, there would be no point in writing this down, right?

For Publishers:-

As I’m basically a blogger, I’m more interested in its “publisher” account and that’s what I’d be starting with, although worry not if you’re an advertiser, I took my time with them to get a hold of their features and capabilities and I’d be describing them too in the later sections.

Publisher account is the account that lets you place ads on your blog andmakes money for you. So, what’s the first question that comes to your minds when I say this?

What are the Requirements to Apply on Adcash?

Yeah I got it. That’s the very first question anyone would have about such a platform.

Minimum Requirements:- (Almost none!) Just make sure you own a blog. That’s it. No minimum traffic required. Even if you own a week old blog and if it’s good enough, you’re gonna be accepted.

That’s what makes it a “startup-friendly” ad platform. They don’t help you out when you’re successful; instead, they help you be successful.

How long does it take for them to approve a site?

60 Minutes! (Read along…)
Another question that would hit me up when I apply to an ad-platform is – their approval time. With Adsense, it sometimes takes weeks which is frustrating.

Well, here’s a live example of exactly how long Ad-cash takes to approve a site. In the following screenshot here’s when I applied for approval.

And then this exactly (one hour / 60 minutes) later is the approval E-mail.

Honestly? I’ve been with quite a number of Ad-networks by now, but no one can beat this! An approval time of 60 minutes? That’s just off the edge.

Anti-Ad Blocking Algorithm:-

I know ad blockers make it hard for us to display ads. Well, Adcash has an absolutely free anti-ad blocking algorithm that we get to use for free with the platform hence multiplying the revenue.

Lots of Different Ad-formats:-

It doesn’t matter if you like pop-unders, Footers, Sidebars, slide-ins or whatever, they support everything. Yeah, they’ve all these ad formats at your disposal so you can go with just about any one of them based on your site and audience suitability.

Automated, Real-time Prediction Algorithm:-

This is again something that’s unique and special to Adcash.

They have this algo in place which automatically predicts the ads which would be the best and most profitable for you based on your site automatically and then displays them, so you don’t have to worry about what will work and what won’t.

Manual Ad-Control:-

Although they have the auto-prediction algorithm in place, you can still choose the ads you want to display, or don’t want to display. This gives you a control and in some cases, you might be better than the algorithm in deciding what works best for your blog and what doesn’t.

Payment Terms:-

So okay now that you know it’s something you should be trying out, the final question arises, how good is their payment T&C.

Creating Ads:-

Once you login to the dashboard, creating the ad zones is extremely easy. There’s a “Create zone’ button right away, you use that and then you can select the ad-type you’d prefer, and the second option would let you choose the banner-size with a graphical representation of it on the right-sidebar.

So I’d say the user-interface is 5/5 no doubt.

See? Everything summed up in that one screenshot.

Lots of Payment Options:-

•  Paypal
•  Skrill
•  Payoneer
•  Wire Transfer
•  WebMoney

So you’re getting your money withdrawn, no doubts there.
The payment is calculated in “Euros” not that it makes a big difference but it might take some time for those of us to get used to who mostly get paid in dollars

José Rizal, in full José Protasio Rizal Mercado y Alonso Realonda, (born June 19, 1861, Calamba, Philippines—died December 30, 1896, Manila), patriot, physician, and man of letters who was an inspiration to the Philippinenationalist movement.

José Rizal

QUICK FACTS

BORN

June 19, 1861
Calamba, Philippines

DIED

December 30, 1896 (aged 35)
Manila, Philippines

NOTABLE WORKS

• “The Social Cancer”
• “The Reign of Greed”

FOUNDER OF

• Liga Filipina

The son of a prosperous landowner, Rizal was educated in Manila and at theUniversity of Madrid. A brilliant medical student, he soon committed himself to the reform of Spanish rule in his home country, though he never advocated Philippine independence. Most of his writing was done in Europe, where he resided between 1882 and 1892.
In 1887 Rizal published his first novel,Noli me tangere (The Social Cancer), a passionate exposure of the evils of Spanish rule in the Philippines. A sequel, El filibusterismo (1891; The Reign of Greed), established his reputation as the leading spokesman of the Philippine reform movement. He published an annotated edition (1890; reprinted 1958) of Antonio Morga’sSucesos de las Islas Filipinas, hoping to show that the native people of the Philippines had a long history before the coming of the Spaniards. He became the leader of the Propaganda Movement, contributing numerous articles to its newspaper, La Solidaridad, published in Barcelona. Rizal’s political program includedintegration of the Philippines as a province of Spain, representation in the Cortes (the Spanish parliament), the replacement of Spanish friars by Filipino priests, freedom of assembly and expression, and equality of Filipinos and Spaniards before the law.

Rizal returned to the Philippines in 1892. He founded a nonviolent-reform society, the Liga Filipina, in Manila, and was deported to Dapitan in northwestMindanao. He remained in exile for the next four years. In 1896 the Katipunan, a Filipino nationalist secret society, revolted against Spain. Although he had no connections with that organization and he had had no part in the insurrection, Rizal was arrested and tried for sedition by the military. Found guilty, he was publicly executed by a firing squad in Manila. His martyrdom convinced Filipinos that there was noalternative to independence from Spain. On the eve of his execution, while confined in Fort Santiago, Rizal wrote “Último adiós” (“Last Farewell”), a masterpiece of 19th-century Spanish verse..

TOP 10 TOURIST ATTRACTIONS IN THE PHILIPPINES

PHILIPPINES !

MABUHAY 😀

Located at the very eastern edge of Asia, the Philippines are home to more than 7,000 islands, which are inhabited by friendly locals and many indigenous tribes. From pristine beaches and marvelous natural wonders to interesting historic sites and once-in-a-lifetime experiences, the Philippines pack many exciting things to see and do. Check out the following top tourist attractions in the Philippines.

10. Tubbataha Reef

The Tubbataha Reef in the Sulu Sea is a marine sanctuary protected as the Tubbataha Reef National Marine Park. The reef is made up of two atolls, North Atoll and South Atoll, separated by a deep channel of approximately 5 miles (8 km) wide. It has become one of the most popular dive sites in the Philippines because of its coral walls where the shallow coral reef abruptly ends giving way to great depths. The marine park is open to live-aboard diving excursions between the months of April to June when the waves are most calm.

9. San Agustin Church, ManilaWhere to Stay

Located in Manila, a visit to the San Agustin Church is a must see. Built in 1589, this beautiful church has survived seven earthquakes and two fires over the centuries and now remains as the oldest stone church in the Philippines. At the main entrance, there are exquisite carvings on the wooden doors. Inside the lovely, Mexican-influenced interior is designed in the shape of a Latin cross. The gorgeous ceiling was painted in the 1800s by Italian artists, Giovanni Dibella and Cesare Alberoni.

8. Mayon Volcano

Rising more than 8,000 feet (2,400 meters) above sea level, Mayon Volcano is significant for its perfectly symmetrical cone shape. Visitors can enjoy a number of activities here such as camping, climbing, hiking, bird watching and photography. A picturesque spot in which to admire Mayon Volcano is from the nearby Cagsawa ruins. Mayon is the most active volcano in the Philippines, having erupted over 49 times in the past 400 years. The most destructive eruption of Mayon occurred on February 1, 1814 bombarding the nearby towns with volcanic rocks. The belfry and what is left of the baroque church that was destroyed by the 1814 eruption can still be seen.

7. Malapascua Island Where to Stay

A small island made up of quiet fishing villages, Malapascua Island is popular for its ideal diving spots and for being the only place in the world to see thresher sharks on a regular basis as well as manta rays and hammerheads. The other hidden gems here are the beautiful, sandy white beaches, crystal clear waters bordered by coconut trees and colorful coral gardens.

6. Puerto Galera Where to Stay

Just south of Manila is the charming coastal town of Puerto Galera, well-favored for its gorgeous beaches, excellent diving spots and wide diversity of marine species. The most popular beaches are White Beach and Sabang Beach, which also offer nearby shopping, dining, nightlife and hotel accommodation. Another popular attraction is the natural harbor of Muelle Bay with its rows of shops, restaurants and bars. Visitors can also go snorkeling to see some of Asia’s best coral reefs or dive among old shipwrecks and hundreds of fish species.

5. Puerto Princesa Underground River Tours & Activities

Located on the northern coast of the island of Palawa, Puerto Princesa is a nature lover’s paradise. Home to unspoiled landscapes rich in wildlife, this lovely town also lays claim to one of the world’s most unique natural phenomena, an underground river known as the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River. Protected within a national park, this natural wonder is the world’s longest navigable underground river. Guided paddle boat tours show intriguing rock formations and fluttering bats.

4. Donsol Where to Stay

Located in the province of Sorsogon, a place of pristine beaches, stunning waterfalls and unexplored caves, the sleepy fishing village of Donsol is the place in the Philippines to see whale sharks. The ocean’s gentle giants can be seen between November and June, with the numbers peaking between February and May. Tourists can also take a boat cruise along the Donsol River through mangrove and palm trees, and watch the night light up with millions of sparkling fireflies. If that’s not enough, a traditional shrimp-catching expedition with bamboos and nets, followed by a tasty dinner of the cooked catch is also available.

3. Chocolate Hills

One of the top tourist attractions in the Philippines, The Chocolate Hills are unusual geological formations that consists of at least 1,268 individual mounds scattered throughout the interior of the island of Bohol. The almost symmetrical and same-sized formations range from 98 to 164 feet (30 to 50 meters) high and are covered in green grass. During the dry season the grass turns brow, hence the name. There is no consensus on how these giant mole hills were formed. One theory holds that the Chocolate Hills are the weathered rock formations of a kind of marine limestone on top of an impermeable layer of clay.

2. Boracay Where to Stay

Boracay may be a small island, but it packs great features such as award-winning beaches, beautiful resorts and great adventures like cliff diving, parasailing, motorbiking, horse riding, snorkeling, kite surfing and scuba diving. If that is not enough, boat tours allow visitors to watch stunning sunsets, explore volcanic caves and remote coves of turquoise lagoons. When the sun sets, Boracay night-life pulsates with many bars and restaurants serving food, drinks and fun until dawn.

1. Banaue Rice Terraces Where to Stay

No trip to the Philippines could be complete without seeing the spectacular Banaue Rice Terraces. Carved from the mountain ranges about 2,000 years ago without modern tools by the Ifugao tribes, these magnificent farm terraces resemble giant steps reaching up to the sky. Locals to this day still plant rice and vegetables on the terraces, although more and more younger Ifugaos do not find farming appealing and emigrate to the cities.

TOP 10 TOURIST SPOTS IN CEBU

Cebu City is the capital city of the province of Cebu and is the oldest city in the Philippines. It is regarded as the “Queen City of the South.” Being such, it is a center for commerce, trade, education and tourism. It is one of the most sought after tourist destination in the Philippines. Furthermore, it is an accessible place for tourists because the second largest and busiest airport in the nation is located in Mactan Island and is just near Cebu City.

 With all the beauty and splendor that there is in this magnificent place from their churches, monuments, historical legacies, mountain trails, exotic coral reefs as well as it’s pristine and white sand beaches, it has contributed much in making Philippines a more fun place to stay. In no particular order, lets take a sneak preview of the top 10 tourist attractions in Cebu that would eventually make one from coming back over and over again.

1. Fort San Pedro

This is one of the rich historical legacy in Cebu which is located in the Pier Area of Cebu City. It is the oldest and smallest triangular-bastion fort in the country that was built in the year 1738 by Spaniards and indigenous Cebuano laborers. It served as military defense and was the focal point of Spanish settlement. It also served as a stronghold for Filipino revolutionaries. At present, part of the fort is a museum. A large statue of Legazpi and Antonio Pigafetta may be seen outside the fort walls and inside it were legacies of the Spanish government. It has well preserved artifacts such as Spanish document, paintings and sculpture. These days it served as a historical park and a famous venue for prenuptial pictures or wedding receptions at that. It is under the care of administration of City of Cebu and to earn income, one would pay entrance fee as follows: Regular fee is P 30.00, Senior Citizen is P 24.00 while students and children have the same rate of P 20.00.

2. Magellan’s Cross

Another significant historical landmark in Cebu is the Christianity religion brought about by the arrival of Magellan in 1521. He brought with him a wooden cross and planted it in Cebu to mark the propagation of Christianity. It is located in downtown of Cebu. The present Magellan’s Cross is now a Tindalo Wood encasing the original cross. This is to protect the original cross from people who chipped away parts of the cross for souvenir purposes or in the belief that the cross possesses miraculous powers. This tourist attraction is free for everyone to see and experience.

3. Taoist Temple

Situated in the northern hills of Cebu in a high end residential area of Beverly Hills about 6 km north of downtown Cebu, Taoist Temple marks as the symbol of the Cebu’s prosperous ethnic Chinese population that follows Taoism. Yet the temple is open to Taoism worshipers and non-worshipers alike. Since it is a towering temple, one could see the breathtaking view of Cebu. The structural and architectural design of the temple is also well crafted. Moreover, the place is also a perfect avenue for one to reflect, pause and meditate.

4. Sumilon Island

If you want peace and serenity amidst the frenzied hurly-burly of the city life, you can have your sweet escape in the beautiful island of Sumilon which provides a tranquil refuge. It has a lush tropical environment with several white sand beaches, a lagoon, a hiking trail with breathtaking panoramic views, a lighthouse, historical watchtower (baluarte), cave and other resort facilities including a swimming pool that overlooks the island of Cebu. It is 125 kilometers from Cebu City and is in close proximity to Dumaguete. It can be reached by car or a Ceres bus with a south route, a three hour drive from Cebu City to Bancogon pier in Oslob town and from there, a 15-30 minute boat ride to the island. The boat ride is provided by the resort.

5. Bantayan Island

Bantayan Island beaches as most tourist say is the Cebuano version of Boracay when it comes to the wonderful display of majestic white beaches even as you approached its’ pier in Santa Fe Cebu which is located in the northern tip of Cebu. It is a wonderful place to beach bum. The vast white sand shore and clear waters seems like a paradise here on earth. It has been one of the most favorite destination of foreign and local tourist alike and even celebrities especially during the Lenten Season. The Holy Week celebration is indeed filled with people as it is known for their “karo”and jubilant celebration of commemorating the Lord’s death and resurrection. The main bread and butter of natives there is fishing. Hence, they have an abundant supply of fresh sea foods at a lower cost than the skyrocketing prices in the city markets. The serenity and laid back atmosphere in this island is truly a wonderful experience for you to rejuvenate and reinvigorate yourself whenever you are downcast from the pressure life has to offer.

6. Oslob Whale Watching

Cebu has many fascinating places to explore and one of the many ways to fascinate yourself is to take a glimpse of friendly creatures of the sea such as whale sharks in barangay Tan-awan. It is 10 km away from the town proper of Oslob. Side by side with watching them as fishermen feed them, you can also glide through with them as you swim, dive, snorkel and splash yourself in the waves of their splendid beach. It became a huge tourist attraction and local fishermen in their place earned income from it. Initially those whale sharks were just on their migrating route. The fishermen fed them and alas they stayed. Right now the government is concerned with the welfare of the shark. Hence, further studies are still made about the whale sharks and as to when the availability of feeding and seeing them, let’s keep our fingers crossed. So while it is still available for everyone to see, grab this chance to actually experience the beauty of nature has blessed us.

7. Kawasan Falls

One of the most spectacular and well visited waterfalls in Cebu both by local and foreign tourists is the Kawasan Falls. It is located in the Southern part of Cebu in Barangay Matutinao Badian. It is a three-tiered cascade of clean and crystal clear waterfalls. From Cebu City, Kawasan Falls can be reached by bus right at Cebu South Bus Terminal. It will take you 3 to 4 hours travel to reach Barangay Matutinao. However, you need to walk for around 20 minutes for you to reach the 1st falls. Along the way you can view several wild tropical plants, birds and it is surrounded by lush and green rainforest. It is a magnificent display of God’s creation as the ambiance seems like a magical paradise. The refreshing drops of crystal clear waters is soothing enough and feels like a back massage. It is truly an extraordinary and amazing experience to do away with the tropical heat of Cebu. There are two more falls if you are adventurous enough to explore nature at it’s best.

8. Osmeña Peak

Osmeña Peak is said to be the highest peak in the province of Cebu. The peak is approximately 1,000 meters above sea level and it is located in the southern part of Cebu in Mantalongon Dalaguete.

Another option for you to take is to ride a mini bus in Carbon Public Market. As soon as you were able to ride a mini bus, you will be dropped off at the Mantalungon Public Market. From there, you can either take a motorcycle for hire that will take you to the foot of the mountain ranges or you directly hike to Osmeña Peak that will take you at least one to two.
