The New & Improved AuctionAds.com

AuctionAds Publishers,
We are excited to announce some big improvements to our service today!  We are working hard to make AuctionAds the best ad system with the best publisher service available.  Here are the new features and improvements you will notice:

New "Web 2.0" Ad Creative's:  Login to your account and go to the "Get Code" page. You will notice a sleek new ad design with multiple color schemes to choose from that we think will increase click-through rates to your ads (which will result in you earning more money).
Optimized Ad Images:  Our ad code is now optimized so that the auction images are no longer stretched or distorted.  This makes for a cleaner ad appearance and should also improve clicks. (Note: This feature will become fully available as the cache updates over the next few days.)
Better Ad Network Performance:  We have doubled the size of our hardware infrastructure and optimized it to ensure near 100% uptime of ad serving (and to make sure your ads are served lighting fast).
AuctionAds.com has a Brand New Look!  Stop by and check out our new design of AuctionAds.com where you will notice a cleaner look and feel that’s fun and easy to use!

 
This is just the start of improvements that you will see from AuctionAds over the coming weeks.  We look forward to servicing you and working closely with you to build the best ad system on the Internet.  Your feedback is always welcome!
Thanks,
Patrick Gavin
