Introducing Promoted Discovery
A NEW WAY TO INCREASE ENGAGEMENT AND MAKE MONEY FOR YOUR SITE
Today, we're excited to introduce Promoted Discovery, a new way for your site to increase engagement and make money.
Disqus' Discovery box already helps people discover other interesting stories and chatter happening on your site. For your site, the Discovery box is meant to drive real traffic that you can see. The all-new Promoted Discovery works by recommending quality content, through the Discovery box, that your readers ? in particular, those engaged in the discussion ? may find interesting.
Promoted Discovery content is personalized for your readers based on the current story and discussion on the page ? as well as what we think will be most relevant to the reader. These could be articles, blog posts, videos and discussions happening on Disqus.
Promoted Discovery is also the first opportunity for publishers to make money through Disqus. You'll earn money when any of these promoted recommendations are clicked on by your readers.
With Promoted Discovery, we'll also make available all of the important tools for you to control your site experience, such as blacklisting certain types of content. You may also choose to opt out of this revenue opportunity at any time.*
We'll begin to gradually roll out Promoted Discovery later this month with the first revenue share payments occurring later this year.

Then I asked if they will also allow adult content with this like they already do and got this reply today:

Hi Cyber,
Promoted Discovery will be intended for use by sites regardless of their content. We are working to make sure the links display are relevant to the site?s community. Additional moderators will be able to blacklist ads from specific domains from appearing within their promoted discovery panel.
Additional information on the features surrounding Promoted Discovery can be found here: http://help.disqus.com/customer/port...ery-and-f-a-q-
Thanks for using Disqus,
Talton
