We are excited to announce that we recently acquired ScribeFire (scribefire.com), the Web’s #1 Firefox® blog-editing technology. In addition we released the beta version of ScribeFire QuickAds, online advertising’s first ‘point and click’ ad optimization technology.
ScribeFire enables users to easily drag and drop formatted text from the web into their blog(s), as well as post entries and take notes, directly through the Firefox browser. ScribeFire currently has over 150,000 active users, and is compatible with all major blog services (e.g. WordPress, TypePad, Blogger, Yahoo 360, etc.).
ScribeFire QuickAds’ ‘point and click’ ad optimization technology, the first to enable web publishers to serve fully optimized banner ads without the hassle of adding additional code, greatly facilitates online advertising integration on blogs. Web publishers can add IAB-standard in-page ad formats (e.g. Leaderboard: 728x90, Wide Skyscraper: 160x600, and Medium Rectangle: 300x250), and in-text advertisements to their blogs via an easy three-click process.
ScribeFire QuickAds’ ad optimization decision engine automatically selects the highest revenue producing banner to display on the user’s website. Ads are selected from the MediaWhiz ad inventory pool, which is fueled by MediaWhiz’s experienced sales team and relationships with over 100 ad networks. Web publishers can access comprehensive ad inventory performance and earnings data on the ScribeFire website.
“ScribeFire is a great addition to the MediaWhiz portfolio of products,” said Patrick Gavin, President of ScribeFire. “Our patent-pending ad optimization technology and relationships with over 100 top ad networks will enable bloggers to see the greatest possible value for their ad inventory. Our dedicated sales force exposes small web publishers to advertisers and ad
networks that they previously had little or no access to, and with no monthly minimums or up-front costs.”
“Direct advertisers and ad networks now have the opportunity to reach massive audiences visiting an increasingly influential medium, the blogosphere,” added Jonathan Shapiro, CEO of MediaWhiz. “ScribeFire QuickAds’ innovative technology has the added benefit of enabling advertisers to auto-optimize multiple ad units based on key performance metrics, thereby improving the overall performance of their campaign.”

Jason Cohen on Affiliate Marketing (DMNews 4.7.08)
Jason Cohen
Founder and President, MediaWhiz
When online advertisers think about affiliate marketing, they frequently think of the larger affiliate programs such as Linkshare or Commission Junction. These programs typically act like application service providers (ASPs), where the advertiser interfaces with and motivates affiliates.
In recent years, a plethora of cost-per-action (CPA) affiliate networks have evolved. CPA networks place the burden of managing affiliates and driving traffic squarely in the hands of dedicated affiliate managers. This approach enables advertisers to leverage the expertise, relationships, and resources of their CPA partner.
Since CPA networks are closed networks, advertisers do not directly communicate with their affiliates. If you select more than a single network partner, it is important to understand that affiliates — even underperforming ones — may appear more than once during a campaign without you knowing about it. This is due to the fact that affiliates frequently join multiple CPA networks at a time, each of which identifies that affiliate in a different manner. Selecting one partner will enable you to permanently remove affiliates driving lower quality customers or sales.
If you cannot decide between CPA networks you like, identify a key strength for each. Some programs have very strong distribution through e-mail, while other programs work very closely with search publishers. Test firms by giving each a piece of your affiliate program, so that one partner manages search, while the other manages e-mail, for example.
Remember to establish different price points for different forms of traffic, as all sales are not created equal. See which firm does a better job with reporting, optimization of underperforming affiliates, and, most importantly, servicing you as a client. With all of this in mind, you will be well on your way to finding a quality long-term CPA network partner and embarking on some great affiliate marketing.

ShoppingAds News: eBay Transition Away from CJ
Many of you have already been made aware that eBay has begun migrating their affiliate program from Commission Junction to an in-house affiliate program, the eBay Partner Network. This is great news for all ShoppingAds users as their new solution is more flexible and efficient in helping us deliver more income for everyone! We will continue to run just as before, but please be aware that there may be a possible slight reporting delay as eBay finalizes this transition. Also, just a friendly reminder that effective February 2008, payouts will take place on the 4th of every month and include all the earnings from the entire previous month.
Thank you for your continued business and support!

AuctionAds moves to ShoppingAds!
We are excited to announce that we have merged our AuctionAds and ShoppingAds products into one product that will be located at ShoppingAds.com. ShoppingAds is a hybrid product that serves both CPA (cost per action) ads provided by eBay and CPC (cost per click) ads provided by our shopping comparison engine partners. For existing AuctionAds users the only change you will see is the "Ads By AuctionAds" displayed on your ads will change to "Ads By ShoppingAds". The other significant change is the ability for you to become a Premium Publisher.
By becoming a premium publisher you will have the opportunity to be paid on a CPC (cost per click) basis for all your US and Canadian traffic while you can monetize your international traffic on a CPA (cost per action) basis. Standard publisher's traffic will be monetized 100% on a CPA basis. Here is a graphic of how this works. Your account will be reviewed for Premium Status in the coming days and you will be notified if you qualify. By having one central system it will allow us to focus on building one great product. If you have ideas on how we can improve please let me know below and please subscribe to our blog for news on ShoppingAds and our other MediaWhiz publisher solutions to make your website more money!
