Motive Interactive Releases Advent 2.0

by Jeremy Schoemaker on November 4, 2008 · 80 comments

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:

And exclusive offers like this one I found that can be run in search and email:

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.

Thanks for this =) Happy Election Day!

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.

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…

Yup, same here. 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.

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.

25 BusinessX November 4, 2008 at 4:00 pm

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.

26 Keral Patel November 5, 2008 at 2:17 am

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.

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.

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

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
