As I wrote here exactly one month ago about Adknowledge... The next big thing in domain parking meets direct affiliate integration meets actual websites and your own content too... Well the Targeted Traffic domain conference came and went, the service was officially launched there but it seems like nobody really gives a shit about it. None of the domain blogs or sites wrote about Adknowledge's new service offering or even mentioned them anywhere. Nobody is talking about the service at any of the forums... Nobody is talking about it anywhere. Period. I wonder why? Hmm...
Maybe those who tested the service weren't happy with it? Maybe Adknowledge didn't do a good job of spreading the word?! Maybe this was just a "soft launch" and everything is still to come?! Ok, whatever... But here I am --- talking about them and apparently one of the only ones and I am not even a big fan of domain parking or any of this out of the box solutions that swear to be the next big thing. I am hardcore into development and none of this cutting corners stuff which rarely works, but ok, why not.. I'll write about em. Maybe they have a decent service and offering. Worth a try. I myself will give them a test drive sooner rather than later. I always do with this type of stuff... Once I get to it :)
Here is what they wrote in an official press release on April 30, 2009:
Adknowledge announced today the launch of Adknowledge Domain, the newest addition to the Adknowledge line-up of publisher and advertiser offerings. Adknowledge Domain, which includes Miva and FindWhat.com, was officially introduced at the T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Domain Conference in Santa Clara, CA.
Adknowledge's Domain Channel provides a new revenue-generating opportunity for domain owners by matching high-quality domain traffic with advertisers from the Adknowledge Network, which now includes Miva and FindWhat.com.
The introduction of domains strengthens the company's position in providing online advertising and publisher solutions across multiple channels. In addition to domain, Adknowledge also offers publisher solutions within email, affiliate, search, messaging, and social networks.
"We're pleased to add domains to our list of publisher products," said Dan Ho, Adknowledge's General Manager for Domain. "Domain owners will enjoy better traffic utilization on our platform, while advertisers will find value in the traffic we bring them. It's a win-win for everyone."
Sounds pretty interesting right?! This part especially on the Adknowledge Domain website "Adknowledge's Domain enables you to maximize the revenue-earning potential of your domain portfolio, and complements your existing monetization strategy. With Adknowledge Domain, users are automatically redirected to our top advertisers whenever a qualified user visits your domains. This solution maximizes revenue for all type-in and SEO traffic."
The best thing about their service is that they offer a bunch of solutions... Including the standard "DNS Parking" solution. The thing that may prove to be most effective and successful with their service is the XML API and Bidded Listings. I am going to play around with it and see if we can make some real money with it. Having options is great... Adknowledge is just another player, amongst the many others performance based advertising / affiliate networks.
