Luke aka Stickycarrots put up this site and it was pretty cool to see the video posted below. As we soar past 25,000 publishers this week it still amazes me how huge AuctionAds has become. At Affiliate summit I had soooo many people come up to me and thank me for building AuctionAds. The sad part was that Dillsmack who actually did all the development for AuctionAds was unable to attend =(. He was putting in more servers. As I write this we have even more servers en route to accommodate the crazy growth.
Here is a new chart you can see growth:

What a defeat, both auctionads and the cube. Congrats on everything working well.
WOW Shoe$ awesome. I remember only 1 month ago when you posted bandwidth charts of AuctionAds and it was 1/2 of what it shows now. What a great products.
build it and they will come, right?
congrats, and cool video
Well done on Auction Ads – that’s v impressive. I didn’t realise that rubiks cubes had got so popular again.
Cool youtube video.
I never really had any luck with auction ads on any of my sites yet. Anyone else care to comment?
Cool video. Keep up the hard work…
AuctionAds for us has been amazing, more then 4x what Adsense was generating
I didn’t either – but it looks like I may not have stuck with the program long enough to find out. Next time I will be sure to use Auction Ads long enough to test the cookie instead of just impulse clicks/purchases.
Who was on the video? I could make Rubik cube some time ago but I forgot how… but it was much slower than this.
I was the one in the video. I am actually using the Rubik’s Cube to try to build some serious revenue with AuctionAds. I’ve setup a Rubik’s Cube video website and I’ve tried several different ways to promote the ads on there:

They aren’t converting that great yet, but it’s been fun to mess around with.
The cube is trying to make a nice comeback. It’s a very addicting hobby
Check out the Google Trends on it:

Thanks. I’ve got more solve videos at my YouTube profile:

Tasty chart.
I’m actually considering giving auction ads a go next month.
I am kinda waiting for you to announce the sale to eBay. Any idea on when we can expect that?
Anyway, a friend of mine is experimenting with AA and pretty pleased about it. Might give it a shot myself next month. Good luck with the servers
I got one of them 4x4x4 cubes a few months back. Thats a dead complicated cube to solve.
Once you get past the first few steps it’s a lot like solving the 3×3. It just takes practice and memorization. I’ve done both the 4×4 and 5×5, but I don’t really have either completely memorized. There’s too much to learn with the 3×3 to worry about those right now
AuctionAds has outperformed Adsense on all of my forums. We even have a support forum on vBulletin-faq.com for AuctionAds.
Talk about a niche site! Who would think that something as simple as a page that details one particular thing — and only that — would do so well! You’ve given birth to more ideas!
I solve my cube on my blog and put it on youtube a while back. I’m not a speed demon but it’s good enough.

I’m getting ready to ad auctionads. I signed up awhile ago.
Why wait? It only takes a few minutes to put it on your site.
I have had no luck but I am thinking of making some made for aucitonads sites like this cube one and giving it another go.
I agree. Out of nearly 10,000 impressions I havent managed to make one cent! Could be down to my site being UK and Ireland targeted though.
Damn, How long does it take to learn to solve the cube like that?
Yeah you should try it out
I’ve only been solving since Easter.
Great example of how to use a viral video to promote your company. The only better linkbait would have been a hot chick with the auctionads shirt solving the cube:)
Nice Luke you got on here. You did post on http://www.speedsolving.com, but you didn’t reply back to my post
Ok, I just signed up for AuctionAds. I’ve been doing well with Adsense and CJ. I hope I can do even better with AuctionAds. It would feel better to make most of my money while helping Shoe’s Co. make money too. Google never notices me, but a smaller company like this would.
Wish me luck.
Hmmm, I should probably sign up for this then. Hopefully it’ll generate 4x what Adsense is doing for me
I used to be able to do the cube – but that was quite awhile ago.
Lets see how this turns out
I’m looking so forward to a full-feature German version.
I saw on a talk show recently Will Smith solve a Rubiks Cube even quicker than that video. Pretty impressive for someone with millions of dollars (he might be richer than ShoeMoney even!)
The growth is astounding.
The cube was a part of my childhood. Cool!!
I just signed up and am very curious to see how it will perform…
And im sure AuctionAds will continue to grow
absolutely
