ShoppingAds beta review
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
MediaWhiz, the company that runs TextLinkAds, rolled out the beta version of their new ShoppingAds program. I got an invite to check out the beta version yesterday, although i suspect most TLA publishers got the same email. So far the program looks like a decent alternative to Auctionads, especially now that many people report their profits dwindling.
I didn’t feel like putting up CPC ads on Serverdome again after AdSense so i persuaded a buddy that runs audioworkbench.com to replace his non performing AuctionAds widget with ShoppingAds to check out how the whole thing works, and get an early look on this new tool.
The creation tool is fairly straightforward, you click on a “Get Code” link, input some keywords and customize the look of your ad block, (most layouts are similar to adsense blocks) and you get a code fragment you paste in your template to display the ads. You can customize how the ads display (background, border color and the such), and gette ad code and get a live preview of the ad on the fly.
ShoppingAds only send payments monthly via PayPal right now, with a $50 minimum for payments.
The products that ShoppingAds display have been a little irrelevant this far, even showed some plasma TV ads on an audio engineering blog, but with TLA’s background I’m certain they will work out the few problems before the official launch. If you’d like to see the ads in action just take a look at Audio Workbench, below AdSense.
