Everyone and anyone knows Jeremy Schoemaker aka ShoeMoney, and if not then you really need to check out his blog! Why? His well known blog ShoeMoney.com is the ultimate authority on making money on the internet!

A few days ago Jeremy endorsed AdToll on his very popular blog and even started using our service. No surprise either that within one day his ad space was completely booked out and within a few days his ad space was booked out 4 weeks in advance. Have a look at the rate card at http://www.adtoll.com/rate-card-for-shoemoney-3424/

This publicity on ShoeMoney.com has created “buzz” for us in the industry and has had an overall huge impact. The endorsement has helped us increase our Publisher and Advertiser-base lifting the quality of our network overnight.

On the day of the publicity we had a daily Alexa Rank of 8,079 when normally we would be around the 12-15k mark.

Above you can see the daily traffic trend graph which shows you the peak that was a cause of the publicity. The FireFox Alexa extension also shows our latest 3 month Alexa Rank average and the 4 month trend graph.

Like the JohnChow.com review we had done last November we are now experiencing a domino effect of other bloggers using AdToll and talking about it on their blogs! That’s great added value and we do appreciate the extra promotion from these bloggers.

Even now we are experiencing the buzz and growth brought about by the publicity. I attribute some of this to the use of our very rewarding affiliate program. The influx of new customers using the affiliate program has helped in turn increase our growth.

To conclude I’d just like to thank Jeremy for the endorsement on his site. Jeremy only blogs about products he actually thinks add value to the industry so the recommendation from him means a lot in itself. Thanks also to the many new customers that have signed up and for using our service.

Most bloggers look to monetise there sites. Many of them try any ad network they come across in the hope of finding that one program that will make all their dreams come true.

A lot of these bloggers tell their readers of their experiences and we love reading them!

Every so often I get onto Google and like any owner search my own site name; AdToll. Most of the results I am familiar with but sometimes there are those that catch my attention, I always check them out.

I actually just did this and thought I would share some of the reviews and blogs I found talking about AdToll:

The problem we have noticed amongst our Advertiser’s is that they simply do not have video ads. It’s not because they don’t want one, but more so they believe that creating or outsourcing the production of one is too hard and too expensive. This could not be further from the truth.

We released our Video Ads late October and already have a number of Publishers using them with some great success. These Publishers are literally waiting for YOU to book video ads! The supply is there and it’s very affordable.

We are now recommending a video production service that creates custom video ads at very affordable prices. We have tested their service and were extremely happy with the result, especially at the price!

The name of the service is LeadsByVideo.com and they only recently launched their video production service. Their basic package starts from $79, with their premium package starting from $159. That’s incredible considering similar services, such as PixelFish, start their pricing from $699 for a simple montage style video.

We recently had LeadsByVideo.com produce a new default ad for our Video Ad groups. Here it is:

This cost us $199 and it was an easy and painless process. It was as simple as providing some information and the team at LeadsByVideo.com did the research, put together a storyboard, organised the music/voice over and then put it all together.

After 7 days they delivered our video complete, there was no need for rework! That in itself is a testament to the quality of their work.

To top that off, LeadsByVideo.com also give you 200 guaranteed views on their own site PLUS they submit your video to the Top 10 video sharing web sites FOR FREE!!

Nowhere else have we been able to find a video production service that even comes close to the offer at LeadsByVideo.com.

If you don’t have a video ad then this is the time to get one! Video ads are growing in popularity and are tipped to dominate the online advertising market in the near future.

A few days after we launched AdToll (June 2007), we had Tyler Cruz do a review on his very popular blog, TylerCruz.com. We were happy with the review and we received a lot of feedback from Tyler himself and from new customers coming on board.

Now, 5 months later, after continual improvements to our platform, we wanted Tyler to provide his readers with a recap of AdToll but more importantly to let them know about all the latest features we have made available.

The review went live today on TylerCruz.com and we are extremely happy with the wrap Tyler has given us.

A couple of quotes from the review which make us feel all warm and fuzzy inside:

“Dan and Paul from AdToll have been working their asses off - and they’ve shown me that they’re really serious about their ad network.”

“They’ve made more improvements and features to AdToll within five months than most ad networks make in two years.”

Thanks to Tyler again for another great review! We do recommend having a read, check it out at http://www.tylercruz.com/adtoll-is-serious/

This week I was approached by CEOWorld.biz for an interview which I kindly accepted.

It gave me the opportunity to tell the world a bit about myself and answer some really good questions about AdToll. There are about 15 questions in all and they cover topics such as our founding story, our point of differences, our new video ads and a whole lot more.

I do recommend reading it as it might answer some of your own questions about AdToll and give you a further insight into our service.
