Affiliate Summit Wrap-Up: Blogs, Press, and Adsmarket Field notes

ASW10 just wrapped up in Las Vegas, and the Adsmarketeers will be heading back to the Holyland soon to give all the juicy details.  But here are some quotes from the field in the meantime, from Gabi Cohen – VP of Media, and Yossi Erez – Managing Director at Adsmarket US:

Gabi: “ASW10 was a great opportunity to meet new affiliates, meet our partners and be in line with the latest trends! Vegas just added to the festive atmosphere!  I’ll send some pictures soon!”

Yossi: “The industry is alive and kicking.  The Finance  vertical seems to be getting stronger and the Health & Beauty industry is still going  strong.  All and all it was a very busy few days and Vegas is always fun.”

Stay tuned for pictures and more coverage from Liat Arbesman, Hila Amishay, Gal Reshef, Yossi and Gabi, when they return to Adsmarket HQ next week!

Adsmarket Affiliate Network Platform is Now in Multiple Languages!

As an affiliate network dealing with many international Publishers and Advertisers, Adsmarket recognized the need to create a more universally accessible system.  We are pleased to offer our account management platform in Spanish, French, and Portuguese, with more languages in the pipeline.  This will help break down the language barrier for many affiliate marketers and vendors who are not comfortable doing business in what has generally been accepted as the international language of technology, English.

As Senior Director of Product, Eitan Burshtein, explains, “Not only is it our priority to make access to our network and using our network as easy as possible for non-English speaking affiliates, we also want our wide presence in Europe to be reflected.   We know this upgrade will improve the user experience for all our Spanish, French, and Portuguese-speaking clients and potential clients”.

Are you a merchant with offers targeted for Spain and Latin America?  Look for AdsmarketES coming soon!

Gabi Cohen interview with Murray Newlands at Ad:Tech

Our VP of Media, Gabi Cohen, was recently interviewed at AdTech New York by celebrity affiliate blogger Murray Newlands (we follow his blog and he’s a great read). The interview in its entirety, was posted on the Affiliate Summit site but we’ve embedded it here, for your viewing pleasure.  The part where she gets to the FAST LANE promotion is sort of muffled, if you want to know more about it check this out.

Adsmarket’s FAST LANE Competition – Publishers, start your engines!

Did you know about our latest promotion for Publishers? It’s written all over our
underwear, so to speak, meaning on our company website homepage, our
facebook fan page, and if you ran into an Adsmarketeer at Ad:Tech New York,
chances are you picked up our flyer. What’s it all about, you ask?

The FAST LANE promotion is all about speed, people. If you aren’t yet an
Adsmarket Publisher, now is a GREAT time to join and start generating some
serious revenue, and fast…

We are offering one lucky Publisher who registered between November 4th and
December 31st, 2009 the chance to win a spectacular European vacation! (Chevy
Chase and German frau not included, sorry)

There are some rules, but not many:
The New Publisher who registers between Nov 4th and Dec 31st and generates the
most revenue will win the competition.  Winners will be determined based on total

revenue generated from valid leads in accordance with Adsmarket Ts+Cs. To be
considered eligible, publishers must meet a minimum total revenue of $25,000.  All
prizes are for the winner only, with a free option for an additional person on most
activities, excluding flights.

Adsmarket and PlusTrees.org: An Innovative Reforestation Initiative

Attention all you greenies! Normally we don’t promote offers on our blog, but this new green affiliate program has us involved in more than the usual way, and we wanted to share it with our visitors to help a good cause.

PlusTrees.org is an organization on a mission to plant 1,000,000 trees each year. They will plant native trees in areas debilitated by deforestation. The trees will be conserved for at least 20 years and the trees will not be used for any commercial purpose. In the process they contribute to local economies and educate local farmers and communities on nurseries and planting techniques. Through the purchase of new trees, individual participants directly contribute to reforestation efforts in areas in Central America.

On November 2, 2009,  a press release was issued about PlusTrees.org.

How is Adsmarket involved? We are putting a portion of the proceeds back into the organization to build an Adsmarket Forest. So, every dollar earned by affiliates contributes to PlusTrees’ goal of planting 1,000,000 trees per year!

For Publishers and Affiliates interested in joining the PlusTrees Affiliate Program,  you can sign up here.

Adsmarket is Going to Ad:Tech New York, November 4-5, 2009

More affiliate blogs to read…from an affiliate blogger

I’d like to offer a quick Mazal Tov to Scott Jangro, whose October 7 post, Excellent Affiliate Marketing Blogs is so relevant to the industry today that it landed his new blog, Affbook.com, a place on our blogroll!

The beauty of the post is that he doesn’t give the list, he invites the community to do it!  And they certainly did…

Here are some of the results from Scott’s readers, as of today, about a week later.  Please add to the list in our comments and tell us what blogs you read!:

Run, Shawn, Run!

Hey Readers, here’s some interesting news from the affiliate blogosphere:
Just heard about Shawn Collins (of Affiliate Summit fame) and this very unique and cool-sounding 5K he’s doing in NYC for cancer research. He’s calling all affiliates to join him in the run. We’ll be at Ad:Tech New York one week earlier and I am particularly disappointed that we won’t be able to stay and join Shawn.

But hey, that doesn’t mean YOU can’t do it!
Read his full post here. If you’ll be in NYC on November 15th, get out from behind the laptop and get moving!
