AuctionAds Publishers,

AuctionAds Publishers, Scott Bird wrote a great post on how you can optimize your AuctionAds! Check out the post here.

Search Engine Journal did a cool case study on how Ken Savage of Battle Diabetes Blog is earning $40k with his blog! Ken is making money while spreading the word on a topic dear to his heart. We are happy to see that AuctionAds is responsible for 40% of his blog’s monthly income! You will notice Ken put the AuctionAds in a great position high up in the right margin which definitely can improve the earning potential. Congrats Ken!

AuctionAds Publishers, we have some exciting new features coming down the pipeline in the coming weeks including:

- A new design for the AuctionAds site.

- New ad designs to choose from.

- Exciting things I can’t mention today

Thanks for all your support and we look forward to constantly improving AuctionAds for you. If you have any suggestions on how we can improve please leave those in the comments below. Thx!

Readers, I am happy to announce ReviewMe’s parent company, MediaWhiz, has purchased AuctionAds! I have been working with Dave Dellanave (left) and Jeremy Schoemaker (middle) on this project since day one and it’s a great success story. MediaWhiz started off as a minority share holder in AuctionAds and as it continued to grow and grow we knew we wanted the whole thing! In just four short months we have grown to over 20,000 publishers.Jeremy and Dave couldn’t have been better partners. Jeremy is a brilliant marketer and Dave is a genius programmer. They will be missed at AuctionAds. Thanks for all your work guys!

We welcome AuctionAds into the MediaWhiz family and look forward to continuing to grow and improve the product. More coverage at: Shoe’s blog and at TechCrunch.

Readers, I know this blog has been dead for over two months and that is long enough! We have been busy these last two months mapping out the direction for ReviewMe moving forward. We have two very cool announcements happening in the coming days.

1. A brand new product that will revolutionize the paid blogging model. This should be out to the public this Tuesday with a little luck.

2. A promotion that will do a lot of good for some great charities. Thinking July 18th on this one but if you are familiar with development schedules this date is a crap shoot.
I know these are very vague updates but I got to keep our competition guessing

AuctionBytes the premier website/magazine for eBay Sellers, has a nice writeup on AuctionAds .

Also Openads.org (formally known as PhpAdsNew) , by far the biggest and best adserver software on the market, also gave AuctionAds a bit of love in this nice post.

And in other news payments went out today (yes even on Sundays), July 1st. We are aware of an issue of a couple days missing for some publishers, and that is being fixed at the moment. I know some people like to hear numbers so as of today we passed 21,000 publishers and are pushing 1000+ ad displays PER SECOND on over 80,000 unique domains!

eBay has fixed there reporting glitches and we are good to go.

As of a several days ago, an eBay reporting delay is having an effect on AuctionAds reporting. Reports from 6/27 to 6/29 may not be complete. Rest assured that as soon as we can receive all the data from eBay, these days will be updated.

Thanks for your patience.
