Hey All,
I posted about this in the more tech-oriented thread...but I'll throw it here too.
A big issue with a lot of the product APIs is how to actually utilize them to make more money...hand-picking products from them, offering a search widget, this is all nice stuff but requires a lot of work either from you or the site visitor, respectively.
I'm the biz dev guy for a company that's developed somewhat of a solution for this: we let you, the publisher, mark up sections of your site that contain meaningful semantic information, label them, and use keywords from there to generate a targeted ad for every page of your site, pulling the products from the LinkShare API, Amazon API, Shopping.com API, whatever...
We're trying to give this thing away for free to get valuable feedback from you guys. The thing works: we're raising CTR by 500%-600% with targeted ads over a simple static ad. I'd be more than happy to work one-on-one with interested affiliates; check out the Amazon demo at
DapperAds and shoot me an email at
paul@dapper.net if you want to give DapperAds a spin.
Best,
