AuctionAds - 17,000+ Members In Only 3 Months

By Jeremy Schoemaker 52 comments

AuctionAds is 3 months old! We have come a long way since March 3, 2007. Over 17,000 users in less then 90 days making some pretty amazing revenue. I made a flash video I see some discovered that was originally designed to be a “thank you” but it kind of looks like crap so It was never posted it on the official AuctionAds blog.

Anyway you need to see what I see here forward to the end to see what we watch here on the 60″ lcd-

Dillsmack integrated AuctionAds into Google earth so we can watch clicks around the world. It is real time but we only display the last 10 clicks ever second so it doesn’t display all of them.

Anyway check it out:

    Hi Roger thanks for posting. It should be noted Alexa is just gaging traffic to the website not really the network size. We have had a lot of press lately and lots of people have gone to the website.

    I am sure we have a long way to go to catch these companies that have been around for years.

    Auction Ads is (are?) amazing. In 6 days I made far more than any other affiliate program in my site. I hope that at the end of the month, Auction Ads becomes my second or third revenue source.
    Since I’m a foreign webmaster, I was never accepted to ebay affiliate program. Not to mention that CJ sucks.
    Thanks Shoemoney for Auction Ads!!!!

    What would be nice is some overall average stats for auction ads. Average clicks, impressions, earnings, etc. A benchmark of sorts.

    That is the coolest thing Ive ever seen with Google Earth. That is amazing!

    Awesome! I’m finally starting to hit around $100 a day with this program. I continually offer performance updates through my blog, which has motivated many to give it another run around!

    We just started using AuctionAds (a few days ago) and we have already been getting clicks on literaryillusions.com - We will be regularly updating how well AuctionAds is working for us. Thanks for developing something different then the average ad program!

    Congrats on AA’s third month Bday.

    But what’s more impressive is that 60 inch monster and it showing clicks. Way cool!

    I was one of the first to sign-up and it was done pretty good for me also. A lot better than what I was doing on my own with CJ.
    thanks!

    It could’ve been more Shoe. If only you’d offer other payment options then that annoying PayPal. Moneybookers, Checks, anything. I for one have an account with AuctionAds, but I don’t use it because I can’t receive with PayPal in my country. So … when are you going to introduce more payment options? :)

    Congrats, but active members would be more interesting. In the affiliate world, a lot of people join but no action is taken. Much more interesting metric is # users with one click (in the last month) or, better, # of users that made >$0 (in the last month).

    Just my two cents.

    Thanks Jeremy, so going after something different in the ad department. I’ve been a user now for exactly a month and the click thru rate is good … yet to see a sinle cent in the earnings department, though, so still traveling hopefully.

    Maps and GIS are “my thing” so I am really happy to see your geographic-based tracking setup … so many on-line (and thus International) companies are completely clueness about the world around them, it’s good to see someone who didn’t sleep through geography class … assuming their school even taught it.

    Now if you just had the backup, geographically seperated server showing on the map … the one I emailed you about … you’d rate 100% ;-)

    Congratulations on adding so many users so quickly! I’m sure you’re working on plans to get to 170,000, right?

    Wow, that Google Earth integration is great!

  27. eTown Landlord said on June 11th, 2007 at 7:47 am

    is there any chance of a blog entry to share how the google earth tool was created so we don’t have to reinvent the wheel?

    BTW, the money shirt came in the mail today. Love it, thanks again for the great initial price.

    Congratulations! Those numbers are great.

    It has been great for some forums that typically have a low CTR with AdSense.

    That is really awesome. If that were in my office I would be tempted to just watch it all day.

    I keep reading more and more positives about Auctions Ads. I’m definitely convinced I need to test it out.

    Maps + data are always cool! I was curious what % of your clicks are US vs. international?

    I love the 60″ LCD. 400,000 clicks a day is amazing.

    Congratulations on the rapid growth. Although I pulled the ads from one site (javascript issues), I plan on adding Auction Ads to a new site under development.

    I can’t wait to get my first $ too!

    Hi Shoemoney

    Just wanted to congratulate you on your Auction Ads program.

    We have signed up to it and it took us about 5 minutes to get it added and live on our site. It is a great system that is easy to use and very user friendly.
