My publisher account was approved, but ads still are not showing up. Why?

Don't worry, there could be a few reasons.

• Have you set up a domain yet? If not, make sure you have logged in to PubStop and set up your domain account.
• If your domain is a recent submission, it needs to be reviewed by ISM for adherence to content guidelines. Hold tight, this process is relatively quick and should be ready in a couple of hours ... max.
• Double check your plugin status. Make sure the ISM plugin is set to active.
• OK, problem still not solved? You can still get help. Contact us at feedback@imagespacemedia.com or reach out to the Community portal and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Does the In-Image ad change the properties of my image?

No way! In-Image advertising is strictly an overlay. We won't alter your image properties or conflict with copyright laws. The transparent overlay is user-initiated and appears on the lower or upper fourth of an image.

Can I control which images contain ads?

Of course! Our technology identifies images on your site, including ads, logos and thumbnails and eliminates them from the ad overlay application. You can control which images have ads with the Image Manager in PubStop.

Why does the Image Space Media JavaScript load slowly?

Our JavaScript file is a small file. It is less than 10KB total and loads extremely fast. The reason why you may encounter slow speeds is because our JavaScript does not execute until all the images have been loaded on your page. The speed of ads loading is only limited by how long it takes for your pages to load up images. We cannot launch ads on images that have not appeared yet on page load.

How do I get paid?

Unlike other ad networks that distribute payments every 60-90 days, Image Space Media pays our publishers during the first week of each month for your previous month's earnings. You can elect payment via US Mail or PayPal once a $25 minimum payout is reached. Set up your payment method selection when you register. You can change this selection anytime through the Account Settings tab in PubStop.
