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.
