Caydel’s SEO Blog

Kevin Weatherman of AdBrite just informed me that AdBrite has launched an entire new help section which *exhaustively* covers every step of the AdBrite process. This should make it a lot easier for AdBrite Advertisers and Publishers alike to find whatever they need, from questions about placing or purchasing ads right down to placement tips and ad selection tips.

AdBrite lately seems to be working harder in order to compete with Adcenter, AdWords/Adsense and Yahoo! Search Marketing. Additionally, Kevin also gave the heads up that there will be more announcements forthcoming from the AdBrite camp. I can’t wait to see what else they are coming out with.

It appears that Adbrite has performed a nice visual update to their advertisers’ interface. The new interface allows for more clearer organization, allowing AJAX-powered updates of your live bids etc. According to Kevin Weatherman of Adbrite, there will a corresponding update to the publishers’ interface ‘Coming Soon’!

Additionally, advertisers will soon be able to create unique channels, or groups of sites, and run their ads solely across that group of sites. Sounds like there are a bunch of improvements coming soon from Adbrite - I can’t wait to see what else they have planned!

FOR THOSE COMING FROM REDDIT, READ THE EXPLANATION BELOW BEFORE YOU VISIT THE VIDEO:
If you look at the tags associated with Matt’s video here, you will see that someone has managed to get it associated with the Gay Porn tag. Is this a joke by an SEO or fellow Google Employee? Other attached tags include ‘Shoemoney was here’, ‘umpa umpa love’, ‘gilligan’ and more.

I think this is bloody hilarious. Obviously, someone has a great sense of humour, and couldn’t resist the opportunity to poke one at Matt. To whoever did this, great job!

Would anyone care to guess how many websites employ Content Management Systems? In recent years, the number of webmasters using CMS software such as Drupal, Joomla or PHPNuke has skyrocketed due to ease of use, and the clean, functional sites which often result from advanced CMS software. Because of their modular component systems, the average CMS site can be customized and modified with ease by the addition of function via third-party, community-built plugins.

This afternoon, I was speaking with Kevin Weatherman of Adbrite Inc. During the conversation we spoke for a bit about one of the upcoming projects which is in the pre-planning stages at AdBrite Central. Currently, the fine folks at AdBrite are in the early stages of planning modules to allow CMS users to easily integrate AdBrite ads into their designs. The current vague plan is to create modules for all the major CMS platforms.

Modules to integrate Pay-Per-Click advertising into CMS engines are nothing new; for example, there are currently AdBrite and Adsense modules available for Joomla. There exists an Adsense module for Drupal. These modules have received many downloads, and have been integrated into many sites; they have undoubtedly lead to numerous sign-ups for their respective services due to their ease of use. However, the support for PPC advertisement within other popular CMS’s is very limited. By creating modules for a larger selection of CMS engines, Adbrite has the potential to reach out and attract publishers in a way that currently cannot be matched by other major pay-per-click advertising companies.

Since they are still in the planning stages, any ideas, or suggestions with regards to the feature set or which CMS’s to support are welcomed by the AdBrite crew. Specifically, you can contact Kevin at kevin@adbrite.com or via AIM username AdBriteKevin.

P.S - Two features I would like to see:

1. Revenue Sharing: I use the revenue sharing feature of the Drupal Adsense module on one of my sites; in fact, the revenue sharing is one of it’s most useful features. Providing this functionality in any AdBrite modules will allow webmasters to share with their community. In return, it encourages contributers to acquire an AdBrite ID to use for their contributions.

2. Multiple Configurable Ad Groups: This may seem rather self-evident, but the ability to set multiple color schemes for different ads in different locations is a necessity.
