Ads on the Steem blockchain? Impossible, you might think. That couldn't be further from truth than it is. We aren't getting bombarded with ads on Steemit, busy.org, steempeak.com or any other steem interface or dapp. There is no need for owners of such projects to do so, as they can monetize their efforts more efectively in other ways, all while keeping the user experience ad-less. Meaning it's much cleaner and more enjoyable than what we get from centralized platforms.
This doesn't mean ads are impossible to implement on STEEM. Nor that they can't be made in such a way that they do not hurt readers, or users experience. On the contrary, they can be seamlessly incorporated as banners at the end of our posts.
A week ago STEEM received a new addition to its chain of blocks. Proving once again, the endless posibilities it holds for those willing to take them.
Ads on STEEM
While I do agree with the decision, not to ruin user experience with ads on the interfaces we are using and think it's of crucial importance. I still believe that content creators needed a way to further monetize their work and the people who are actually consiming their content. Depending on support of the community, just won't cut it for many. They can't get constant payouts even though they may have a lot of people reading their stuff. With most of their readers probably falling into the deadfish or minnow category, their one cent upvotes aren't going to put bread on the table.
For a long time this problem was on hold. Waiting for someone to provide a solution. The free-market has recognized this issue and provided a solution.

I’m sure most of you are aware of Google AdSense. The Prototype is similar to Google AdSense. You receive rewards from the clicks of links and views of clips from any blogs (Steemit or other platforms) or movies via DCLICK. However, the producers receive more rewards compared to AdSense and advertisers can promote with almost free of charge because of Token Economy.
As you should know by know, centralized solutions for monetizing content through ads like AdSense are favoring their owners over anyone else. Content creators get pennies on the dollar while those at the top of the food chain get a unproportionate cut for their efforts, which are close to non-existent. They leech of our time/skills/knowledge, in order to earn massive amounts of money for doing little, or no work, at all.
Thankfully decentralized solutions like
It should be obvious how this will change our STEEM game forever.
For the first time ever, we actually have a fair chance of further monetizing our content through ads, on .
No middleman stealing the pie we baked, leaving us with only crumbs to feast on.
That's the power of decentralization. Fair reward distribution.
To get started, couldn't be easier!
The pay to click concept is as simple as it can be. Let's look into exactly how you can start further monetizing your STEEM content with ads on Dclick right now!
# 1 Sign in with your Steem account through SteemConnect
#2 Click on MONETIZE and write a post
#3 Click on post, and Voilà!
You got yourself the first post that has potential of earning additional rewards based on the number of clicks it generates! Use this power wisely. As you can see the ad is neatly displayed at the end of the post as a banner and doesn't take away from the readers experience, at all. It's not pushy and you can be sure that the ad itself is not a scam. Unlike the ads displayed elsewhere in the centralized world, the decentralized solutions won't alow such crimes on their platforms, as it greatly diminishes their credibility.
Something none of them would like and thus they will put a great deal of effort into preventing such malicious behaviour.
