AuctionAds, improving one day at a time!

Throughout the past couple of weeks, we have been working closely with Commission Junction to ensure that reporting was in sync with their records and our records. Last weekend, we unfortunately had some issues with the server network that operates and publishes the ads, so some of you may have noticed your ads with no thumbnails or bids. We are sorry about that. We fixed the problem as fast as we could identify it.

This transition from one set of hands to the next has been a long journey, but we are glad that you have stuck with us. We have been working day and night to get this service back to where it once was. We want, more than anything, for this service to be a huge success and for it to really benefit you, our publishers. We are working on new features, new ad blocks, and trying to expand functionality on a daily basis. We have a committed development team working together to pin point any issues, resolve them, and get the system back on track.

We want to extend our deepest gratitude to you, our publishers, the reason we are even continuing this service, and want to thank you for sticking with it. We know there have been some issues, we know there have been some downfalls, we know that there have been click-tracking issues, but please rest assured that you ensure that you get paid for every cent you earn. Thanks again!

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
