Sean @ GetClicky installed our ad code on his site late Monday night.  By the time he woke up the next morning he had already sold 4 ads.  Wow.  And, at the time of this post he’s now sold 5.  You can read his full review of BSA.  Here are the highlights:

• He was previously using Rubicon Project and then tried out Project Wonderful
• Rubicon Project still owes him money
• Project Wonderful was OK, but probably not the best fit for his site. 24 hours later, he’s going to make four times as much with BuySellAds.com (one month) as he did with PW.
• He likes the fact that we let publishers cash out whenever they want
• The fact that we’re built on top of Amazon Web Services gives him a good vibe and sense of security (i.e. his ads have an extremely low chance of being down).

It’s great to have a nice review like this from one of our biggest publishers.  If you’re not already using GetClicky, you should.  It’s free web analytics tool way better than Google Analytics.

Well, we launched the site in private beta last week.  I didn’t have enough time to post about it then as I was busy making sure that everything was working OK

Everything is going great, we’ve got some great publishers signed up and things are working (for the most part ;)).  There are still a bunch of things we need to finish up before launching to the public… but we’re in good shape, and we’re psyched at the reaction from our publishers and advertisers this far.

If you would like to sign up for the private beta, head on over to the register page. We’re approving sites here and there.

On your site detail page in the BuySellAds directory there are several stats (Alexa Rank, Compete Rank, Technorati Rank, etc.). It is important that you login to update these stats. We’ll update them for you every now and then, but we currently do not update these more often than once a month. If your ranking for any of these stats improves during the month, you can force an update by logging into your account and going to Sell Ads > My Sites > Edit Detail > Statistics. Click the update button and we will refresh your stats immediately.

Previously, in order to be a BuySellAds publisher, you needed to install our server-side code to run ads.  We’re still the only ad marketplace who does this (and it’s cool for several reasons), but running our server-side code and displaying ads as pure HTML is no longer required.  Now, if you don’t want to (or can’t) run our server-side code, you can simply install a couple lines of JavaScript.  You can be up and running within minutes.  You can find this code in your account under “My Sites > Get Ad Code”.  Enjoy!

We’ll be using the blog to keep you up to date on what’s going on @ BuySellAds.com.  Starting out, you will be able to use BuySellAds.com to sell banner ads; however, we will soon be launching short text ads.  Please stay tuned for the launch, thanks for your interest in our site!
