New Report – Blogs Not Clicked
Posted by kexbrown on February 21, 2009
Have you ever gotten frustrated when clicking ads within the Adgitize Ad Network? You click an ad and end up on an advertiser’s landing page that isn’t displaying an Adgitize Ad Group. Then what do you do? How do you get started clicking again?
Well, many people have used the New Publisher list found on the Adgitize Blog and in the Members Lounge. Others go through the LeaderBoard. But, both of those solutions are limited in their functionality and usefulness.
Frustrating Finding a Publisher
Adgitize member SharkByte was expressing concerns about this issue last week. And you know I agreed. It can be frustrating finding a publisher that you haven’t clicked on today. Well, problem solved. Two changes made this week will solve this problem.
LeaderBoard Expanded
LeaderBoard expanded to include top 300 members! This change will open up another 200 member’s blogs that you probably haven’t clicked on today.
Blogs Not Clicked Report Now Available
This I think will be a huge win for members that choose to score points by clicking on ads. This report is specific to your needs. It takes all active publishers and their active blogs. Then it removes publishers you have already visited. Then it randomly chooses 50 blogs you haven’t visited today.
How do you get to the report? It is simple. Go to the Member’s Lounge. Choose Reports. Then under the Publisher’s Section you will see a link for “Blogs Not Clicked Today.” Just click that link and you are ready to go.
One thing I noticed is some members have multiple blogs. They may have the Adgitize Ad Group on one or two of multiple blogs in our network; but every blog may not be carrying the Adgitize Ad Groups. So, on occasion you will come across a blog or two that aren’t displaying ads, but it should be a minimal issue compared to your current process.
Exposure to New Blogs
For me the exciting part is each day you won’t be clicking the same blogs. You will be exposed to new bloggers. You will have the opportunity to find new similar blogs to possibly partner with and gain new friends. You will see how others have used themes and plug ins to build their blogs. Who is using WordPress, how about Blogger? As an active clicker in the Adgitize Ad Network you are building a list of blogs that you enjoy by your exposure to new and varied bloggers. You are expanding your personal BlogoSphere.
Anyway, the next time you are clicking in the Adgitize Ad Network, take a look at the new Publisher Report – Blogs Not Clicked Today and let me know how you like it. Did it help you? Was it easy to use? How can it be improved?
If you find a blog that is abusing our rules, please let me know. There are still some out there with too many ad groups and ads, inappropriate content, pop ups and other things that are against our terms of service. In the past these blogs ran under our radar, but now they will be exposed, so please let me know if you see something and we can correct those issues.

Oh Yes this is gonna be sweet. I know I have double clicked a lot. It’s still a little aggravating tho when you come across a blog with no adds to click and have to come back to either the leader board, or new blog listing to restart and no credit issued for clicks from there. But so be it. This new feature will help a lot,,,Thanks

I’ve typically used the New Publisher list. I like checking out new blogs. However, I strongly encourage people to use the leaderboard as well, at least as long as I’m staying up near the top of the list!
That said, the new Publishers Not Clicked Today report is really great. Thanks.
It may also help with another thing that I’ve wondered about, the best way to find other Adgitize publishers that I haven’t clicked on yet, after I’ve viewed all that I can for points.

It doesn’t matter how many I click on (even from the list on this site), it only ever registers one click each for my two sites. I’m logged in and have cookies (mmm, cookies). What am I doing wrong?

No matter how many times I click on the ads (even on this site), it only registers as 1 click. I’m logged in and have cookies on.

I am not sure exactly what you are doing based on your comments. I show in the database that you have earned 3 clicks today.
So, this is how it works. You click a link in this list. Then you find the Adgitize Ad Group on the blog that opens up. Then you click on one of those ads. You score one point.
Now, you can see if the new blog or web site that opened has an Adgitize Ad Group or you can go back to the list and click on the next blog link. If when the next blog opens you find the Adgitize Ad Group and click another ad. You score one point.
If you click multiple ads on the same blog, you can click all day long, you only score “one” point. The goal here is to visit multiple blogs and multiple advertisers. Read the articles and find out if you like the way the blogger writes and then you grow and maybe develop a long term relationship as a reader or someday a business partnership.
Let me know if this answers your question or let me know if you have additional questions.

Ah yes. It’s me being stupid then, as usual. Where’s the “I’m an idiot” smiley here?
Thanks.

Don’t worry about it Chinaren. We all have experienced the “What am I supposed to do now.” with this business.
