Just so you know that we don’t just sit around all day twiddling our thumbs. We have added some enhancements at Adgitize which I think are positive.
Adgitize Now Has 5000 Members
First the good News – In December, we signed up our 5,000th Member. Imagine a year ago we had about 100 members. Now, thanks to you we have surpassed 5,000 members. And it truly is our members that have grown the Adgitize Network. The only thing we did was create some affiliate ads and then made sure we paid the members when they were supposed to be paid and made sure the ads run regularly. You guys are truly outstanding and I personally give you a standing ovation.
Virtual Gift Certificates
Some of you may have noticed we now are offering Gift Certificates. A couple of our members had requested them a while back and we finally finished coding and database work and now you can buy an Adgitize Virtual Gift Certificate for that next contest you host.
They make great gifts and come in 3 prices. One for each of the ad sizes we offer, 7 Day Ad, 14 Day Ad and One Month Ad. An important note, the buyer earns zero Adgitize points, but when the recipient places their ad then they will earn full advertisers points. Try them out for Christmas presents for those special bloggers in your network.
Testimonials
Next we added a Testimonials section to help you find new affiliate members and to encourage them to advertise in the Adgitize Ad Network. Hopefully, each of you will earn a couple more dollars each month because of this new sales message.
Article Titles on the Preferred Publishers
Finally, we added article titles to the Preferred Publishers section. What do you think? I think it adds value to the section and will encourage you to enhance your titles for each of your articles. We will update the article titles as our rss feed spider returns home after each trip and records your latest article.
Nothing earth shaking here, but fun changes that add value to your being a part of Adgitize. Thanks for all you do.

Adgitize is introducing the Preferred Publishers List. This list will highlight our publishers who are showing the Adgitize Ad Group in a preferred location on their blog.
Who is Eligible for the Preferred Publisher Program?
All publishers are eligible for the program, but there are a couple of things you need to do to qualify for the program. You must show an Adgitize Ad Group no less than one scroll bar click below the fold. This is based on a screen resolution of 1024 X 768 px. Why do we require this rule? Our advertisers would like the best visibility possible to their ads. As a preferred publisher you are guaranteeing our advertisers preferred positioning on your blog. We expect the landing page of a preferred publisher to be a blog page. It cannot be a sales page. It cannot be a page of links. It must be a page with content. And finally the landing page should be fast loading.
Rules to Be A Preferred Publisher
- At Least One Adgitize Ad Group Must be Above the Fold or one Scroll Bar Click below the Fold
- Fast Loading Page
- Landing Page Must be a Blog Page
Why Should I Want My Blog to be a Preferred Publisher?
The preferred publishers will be shown in two places on the Adgitize site. Your blog will have a link on the Preferred Publisher List shown next to the Community Button. Any visitor to Adgitize will have an opportunity to see who our publishers are. You will get traffic from random visitors checking out the Adgitize Opportunity.
You will also see your publisher link in the Blogs Not Clicked Today list in the Member’s Lounge. The Preferred Publishers List will be replacing the Blogs Not Clicked list so members clicking Adgitize Ads will be using this “Preferred List” of fast loading above the fold Adgitize Ad groups.
Is There a Fee for this Program?
There are two options. You can pay a monthly fee or you can utilize the FREE Option. How do you qualify for the FREE option? It is actually very easy. All you have to do is for any 4 day period score 300 Adgitize Ad Click points. Then you can see your blog in the Preferred Publisher List.
Am I automatically in the Preferred Publisher list with the FREE option? NO. You must sign up for the free option.
If you don’t have time to click on Adgitize Advertiser Ads then you can qualify for the Preferred Publisher list by paying a small monthly fee. There are 3 payment options, monthly, quarterly or a monthly subscription option.
Are Adgitize Points Awarded?
You can earn additional Adgitize Advertiser points by being an Adgitize Preferred Publisher. If you choose the Free Option Preferred Publisher then you will score an additional 10 points a day each day you qualify for the FREE option. Paid preferred publishers can earn an additional 25 points a day.
You can only have 1 FREE preferred publisher in this program per member. You may have multiple blogs in the list for paid Preferred Publishers. Why not add a link for each of your blogs in Adgitize?
How Do I Sign Up for the Preferred Publishers List?
Go to the Manage Blogs section of the Members Lounge. Then if you want to create a new Preferred Publisher then choose “Add Preferred Publisher” for one of your blogs. Then follow the simple instructions.
This is a great opportunity for publishers to get exposure in the Adgitize Network.
