We have just taken the new version of BSA live. We have the TTL’s set pretty low, so hopefully your DNS is snappy wherever you are. If you’re still seeing the maintenace page from the old site then your DNS has not yet updated. Rest assured, this will not affect your website(s) and any ads that are live – the ad server is very much separated from the live site.
That is all the news we have for now. If you run into an issue please DO NOT post a comment here, please follow normal support procedures and submit your query/issue to support@buysellads.com or use the form on the site: http://buysellads.com/support. We will be monitoring the site closely and will post more info about the new version later this week.

Congratulations guys! You’ve really lived up to the expectations. I’m happy and impressed!
Nice! love the new site and all it’s features!
Found a Bug. When adjusting site details, if you change the desctipton without uploading screenshot/avatar every time it goes back to default.
nice work guys. i love the simplicity, typography and easy of use.
Much better than before. Especially, the “sort by” feature helps a lot.
I’ll have to have a proper look at this later, but so far it looks really awesome. Nice job guys!
The publisher website detail page doesn’t look (and work) quite right in Chrome, but other than that it looks great!
When I edit the properties of my site http://buysellads.com/buy/detail/1064 I cannot save because it says ‘You must provide a valid URL address’.
I don’t know what to do I tried either with free-brushes.com and free-brushes.com/ and I got the same error.
design looks great, only problem i can see is my thumbnail on MY ad page is an old image thumbnail of my website. :( doesnt look like that no more.
when will the twitter and RSS feeds be displayed on the ad details pages????
Awesome news, guys! Looking great so far. Few bugs, but nothing major. Most have been noted in the above replies.
Great new look, guys! But I have a problem: I cannot log in. I have reseted my password also, but it still doesn’t work :(
Nice work Todd, i was expecting this new version for a while now. The stats are very nice and helps a lot advertisers like me.
Keep up the good work.
Congratulations
It looks great so far! Very exciting
Great work guys. Just had a quick look around and it looks very nice.
Looks good Todd. Only thing I don’t like is that you removed the page rank display for publisher’s sites. Not that there’s any PR bleed since the ads are output via Javascript, but I still think it gives potential advertisers an idea of how “awesome” your site. Example, our page rank is 8, and I like people to know that :)
we’ll be adding this back, we had some issues with PR before launch and dropped it temporarily.
Looks great too, nice work. Will have to have a better look and get some ad space worked out when times permits.
It’s a fantastic upgrade! Many important elements are automated now.
GREAT JOB & FINALLY !
my only 2 beefs with the system
1) Your only allowed to cash out via paypal twice a month
2) You can’t manually update statistics
I’m sure this will improve hopefully in the near future.
we’ll be adding back the manual refresh of stats. for the cashout’s limited to twice per month… is it necessary to cashout more than twice per month?
Cool update. I’m wondering, do publishers have access to the graphs etc that advertisers get for each individual ad. I’m interested in the type of click-thru’s I am getting.
Yes, on the publisher dashboard, click on “view details” next to the site title and you will see stats for all of the active ads on your site.
Thanks for the feedback everyone. I’ll write a post tomorrow outlining some of the important features, etc. Right now we’re still working through a few existing bugs and an overflowing support inbox ;) If you are currently waiting on us for a reply, rest assured it’s coming soon…
Looks good.
Though I’m not quite sure if it works properly. The publisher dashboard is showing wrong stats, and I can’t add Twitter or RSS links to my existing “properties”.
Are all the cool features for advertisers? What’s new for publishers?
The stats on the publisher dashboard have been fixed. RSS and Twitter counts updated last week.
Great job on the new version, although I kinda like how the previous version allows us to update our site stats manually.
we’ll be adding back the manual stats refresh ;)
I can’t add new add new ad zones either.
Moshin, can you email support@buysellads.com and let us know the error you are receiving and what you are trying input into the form?
Sorry, my bad. I had a Ad Blocker messing up the BSA layout. It’s all fixed now.
Cheers!
An Ad Blocker… but you sell ads on your blog!!!
Great work, toddo & good luck :-)
