Questions I Have About DCLICK - An Incentivized Ad Platform

There are new projects being built on the Steem Blockchain on a regular basis.  One of the most succesful being [Steem Monsters](https://steemmonsters.com?ref=sumatranate). 

As new projects are being developed and ready for public use, I start to wonder how they work and what benefit they offer to our community.

<h1>DCLICK - An Incentivized Ad Platform Built On The Steem Blockchain</h1>

I understand the basic principles of DCLICK based on the information provided on their website (www.dclick.io), but I tend to want to experience a new project, not just study it from afar.

In order to learn more about the project, I am publishing this post from DCLICK under the **Monetize Tab**.  Based on the information I have gathered, there will be a sponsored advertisement at the bottom of this post, and I will be compensated when people click on that post.

So if you are reading this, I would appreciate you clicking on the sponsored ad so that I can examine the results and provide additional feedback.

<h1>More Questions Than Answers</h1>
Up to this point, I have more questions than answers.

1.  Is there a pool of advertisers who have already signed up?
2.  How are advertisers matched with content creators?
3.  Is there a review process to determine if an advertisement is appropriate?
4.  Can a content creator protest an inappropriate ad?
5.  Can a content creator delete an inappropriate ad?
6.  Is the Steem community accepting of advertisements?
7.  Will members of the Steem community flag or downvote posts that have advertisements?
8.  Is there more effective or less effective than including affiliate links as a part of a banner?
9.  Are the incentives good enough to motivate people to use DCLICK?
10. What kind of transparency does DCLICK offer to insure that payouts are correct?

I am sure I could add more to the list but that is enough for now.  I am going to click the **POST**, so I guess I will have some of my questions in the next few moments and then some more of the next few days.  

Have a great day!
