Motive Interactive is releasing their new version of their advertising platform called Advent 2.0. The system was developed to increase advertisers ROI and to maximize publishers profits.
I have never worked with Motive Interactive, but I’ve been seeing a lot of information popping up about this new release. And after I was contacted by them to check out the system, I thought I’d detail my thoughts about the new release in a post.
At first glance, I’m really impressed. The interface is fast loading and easy to use. They have a a great selection of offers, lots of which are exclusive to them. One I’ll discuss in more detail later. But overall, I have no idea what Advent 1.0 was like, but 2.0 looks pretty sweet. I guess it’s ran off of an ajax system, so everything is running off of one page. Very nice. Advent contains features other platforms can’t touch, like multiple payout support including commission based sales, individual publisher and advertiser allocations and lead routing to multiple advertisers and buyers.
Once I logged in for the first time, I wanted to check out the stats section to see what that was like. They have probably the most detailed statistics I have seen from an affiliate network. That’s a huge plus in my opinion. And is a huge selling point for any publisher.
They have a really good demo video you can see the system for yourself:
I also noticed, they have a rewards program that is paying 2%. Most are around 1%, so obviously these guys know the value in rewards. The payouts are below:
Commissions – Rewards
$1,000 – $10
$2,500 – $25
$5,000 – $50
$10,000 – $100
$15,000 – $150
$20,000 – $200
$25,000 – $250
$30,000 – $300
$50,000 – $500
$100,000 – $1,250
$150,000 – $2,000
$200,000 – $3,000
$500,000 – $10,000
$1,000,000 – $20,000
$1,250,000 – $25,000
They also have the highest referral commission around, with 5.5%! But they do state “The referred publisher must continue to generate commissions without a lapse of twelve (12) calendar months in order for the referrer to continue receiving the 5.5% commission from that publisher each month.”
Overall, Motive is making a big step with Advent 2.0. If they weren’t a top affiliate network before, they will be after people check this system out. They have some really cool offers like this:

I’m checking this out right now. I get the concept now.
Thanks shoe for bringing all these on the plate.
that’s a good news. having fast and good advent is nice. how can I get one? tnx for the info ^^
I’m still holding back from stepping into affiliate marketing. Once I sell some of my blogs, I might consider testing the waters.
That’s wicked. I keep meaning to check them out, but I never have the time. I’m going to do it right now.
This looks like an interesting interface and with the AJAX. More details statistics are always nice.
Hey, really. There is some mistakes in percents.
$1,000 – $10 it’s a 1%
and only
$1,000,000 – $20,000 is 2%.
$1M for get 2 percent…. it’s great
Ok to clear things up …
The reward payout starts at 1% then increases to 2% the higher the tier.
The current payout tiers for the rewards program are as follows:
Commissions – Rewards
* $1,000 – $10
* $2,500 – $25
* $5,000 – $50
* $10,000 – $100
* $15,000 – $150
* $20,000 – $200
* $25,000 – $250
* $30,000 – $300
* $50,000 – $500
* $100,000 – $1,250
* $150,000 – $2,000
* $200,000 – $3,000
* $500,000 – $10,000
* $1,000,000 – $20,000
* $1,250,000 – $25,000
You have listed $10 for $1000. Thats 1%. That is one lovely ad for hot visa cards..
The rewards you listed are 1%, but you state 2%.
Also, as for reporting on Motive, give us an idea of how it stands against other affiliate programs such as Commission Junction.Thanks
Rewards start at 1% then go to 2% on higher levels.
That is a good thing that they have an easy interface. Their is nothing worse than a website that is hard to navigate around. I might go ahead and check this out.
Nice review. It also seems that this affiliate system is pretty profitable if you know what you are doing.
you are right on this brother.
Haven’t had a chance to use them yet even though I have an account. Is they are really good?
I wish there was something like advent 2.0 for the German market.
komm nach Motive Interactive , Wir haben Deutsche Klingeltöne erstaunliches Angebot und mehr und eure Personal verstehen alles und sprechen Ihre Landessprache, Willkommen till The Motive Interactive Netz!
it looks like a good one.
I think they were really high payments. However, competition in the market is very large.
Hi jeremy, I dont think this people wil accept registeration from small blogs like mine. http://blogblazon.com started just like a month and doing so bad it has less than 1000 visit in a month. how do u want motive interactive to accept this blog as a publisher.
Is there any alternative or is there a way out to register with a low traffic blog like mine
Authority: 1 – Rank: 2,605,173 : Come on over and lets grow that blog of yours !
I got your newsletter, thanks
wow, really superb, I will surely apply as an affiliate
5.5% is really a cool referral commission rate, will try them soon.
Great user interface, quite clean and fast. That’s the perfect receipe for a user friendly interface.
5.5 percent is pretty nice. Time to join the hoopla and check if this is gonna kick some ass.
How about that Obama, now there is an awesome African American marketing genius!
I believe timing is everything for his powerhouse win. Economy made it a hill that could not be surmounted by McCain.
Still he would have been a formidable candidate at anytime, he would have figured a way to morph himself to suit the time.
Change is here, let’s hope it’s for the better.
on these days this will work great and works too.
I also like what’s going on over at Motive. They are quickly becoming one of the best networks around.
Thanks Zac !
Will have to try this too.
I wrote about it before few days..
really a nice network
That is pretty sweet.
Had already heard good things…….perhaps I’ll get off my arse now and get signed up.
Not had a chance to check them , but I ll do it now…they seem to be creating a buzz on blogs
I thought it was a paid review..
Just joking… Motive has contacted me a lot of times on my different emails inviting me to join them… these days I have seen a lot of posts about them about 89.76% are paid…
This is impressive…. -)(-
Motive reached out to a number of blogs and worked with them closely on writing honest reviews some were very honest, if you read
Derek Semmler (link in the above comment) or Tyler Cruz’s review. Motive will continue to improve our interface and we value highly all our reviews (and comments) -Luke
Yea I have been seeing reviews for Motive all over the place,
it looks like
a really good program
This looks like an interesting interface and with the AJAX. More details statistics are always nice.
This looks like a great program, the rewards are very high
Will have to give them a try once I get into the CPA business.
Motive Is By Far the best CPA network I have been with my aff manager Chris Rodeno goes way out of his way to make sure I’m doing my best & making the most with motive!
THNX NICK – U ROCK !
4real. That’s cool I think I am going to sign up with them and give them a test run. I have been hearing so much about them.
This is the kicker for me. Time to sign up with Motive…
Haven’t had a chance to use them yet even though I have an account. I’m gonna take another look at their offers.
Bryn – Talk to your AM – He would be more then happy to help you find some offers to run.
If you wanna be nice sign up under referrer mmads2008. Byahhh!!!
I often wonder if there are too many affiliate programs? Or more accurately, if one could join too many programs? Maybe after I am converting well for the programs I already have, then I could try some others which would improve my campaigns’ margins. I need to get A right before worrying about B.
Of course that is just personally, as to Motive it is nice to know it has an endorsement from someone like shoemoney. Will keep up for future posts and mentions of Motive from shoe.
Really nice thinking. Going for many many programs will in end get nothing from all of them. What most of the people do is joins one and before it is settled they move on with the next one.
The 5.5% is not bad … even with the 12 months without a lapse in comissions
not bad at all…
nice rewards
I just wrote a review of this interface myself and agree that it is a really slick UI that blows others away. There were a few things that I didn’t like but they were not enough to detract from the positives.
Derek – I just approved you on a few offers – have at it my friend ! We will look into improving the interface and reading your review closely to do so ! – Thanks for you review Derek !
They’re doing a good job getting the attention of some big name bloggers – looks like they’ll be doing pretty well in the near future.
It will take off extremely well if they keep this marketing up.
I have seen them pop up all over now. They seem to be taking a smaller approach to getting their name out than what ML did. Maybe I can jump on their bandwagon too. I love referrals but it is always tough to keep up your end of the stick.
User interface looks very nice.
These guys do seem to be promoting their new interface a lot. I’m seeing it on every blog!
Yup, same here. It will take off extremely well if they keep this marketing up.
On a more serious note Shoe, I might have to check them out because their user interface looks very nice. Not like the web 0.1 MarketLeverage’s interface…
Ben – Thank you for the comments on the Motive Network Interface.

Sorry, should follow that with a buffer overflow!
Oh that looks cool, need to try that out for my English blog asap
I checked out the demo it seems pretty cool. And I am a big (HUGE) fan of lead generation campaigns. The statistics that they have for you are awesome to and the navigation and interactivity is pretty neat. I have never used them before, but they seem like a place that I am gonna’ have to check out now. I have been seeing them popping up more and more too.
Thanks for the post and the info.
I’ll definitely have to check this out for my blog. I love seeing new advertising opportunities spring up and improve on what has been done in the past.
Thanks for this =) Happy Election Day!
Can’t believe Shoe didn’t make a post about this….
I’m going to up all night watching the results probably.
yea I hope the results will be in on time
shoe still hasn’t posted, it’s the day after.
Hmm will be great to read about it again. I think need to check Advent 2.0
I agree. The interface seems very clean and high-tech.
Will be fun to sign up with them and see what they got.
I don’t like running those survey ads. I’ve received poor feedback from them. When they check off the box for college information, the telemarketers are relentless.
Yeah, the surveys haven’t done wonders for me neither.
