For those of you who are like me and love making money online by running a blog, then you’ll have heard of AdGator and you probably use them. Well, version 2 has just been released and you’re required to make some changes.
This move now affects you directly in that you need to log in to our new platform and get new Ad codes for your blog. From now until Friday 5 March 2010 we will be serving all the Adgator campaigns on both our old and new platform but after this date your old code will no longer work so please get the new code up and running as soon as possible.
The new version of Adgator can be found at http://new.adgator.co.za and you can get your new ad code by visiting this link. Your log in details are still identical to the old system so head on over and check it all out.
Changes on the new platform
What’s important to highlight here is that no new user functionality has been added to this new version. This new version is a major revision to our backend which now allows us to serve ads on an enterprise ad serving system and we’re now perfectly positioned to add new functionality in the future.
We have lots of new functionality that will be added in the coming weeks as well as a new revenue stream for you guys but we had to get this completed first.
All blogs on this new version of Adgator will also be serving Addynamo ads so everyone on the network has double the chance of making money and all of your inventory is now monetised.
The final big change happening is that shortly after 5 March we will be re-opening Adgator for new blogs. There is a little twist to this but we’re now able to scale Adgator and allow as many blogs as needed.
Billing has been removed from the old system
If you login to the old version of Adgator you’ll notice that the “Money” section has disappeared. All earnings will now be processed on new.adgator.co.za so you’ll have to log in there to generate an invoice and to check your monthly earnings.
Consolidation of your earnings
At the end of February we will consolidate both your earnings off the old and new system into your statement page over here. Then, when we switch over to the new system after 5 March, we’ll process a final run of earnings from the old system again. This means that any money made off the old system will be added to your statement when we do the final shutdown. You won’t lose a cent – we promise!
That’s it for now. We’ll post again with more info at a later stage but for now this should get you going. If you have any problems please pop us a mail at ops@afrigator.com and we’ll try assist you along the way. Head on over now to http://new.adgator.co.za and get that new code on your blog!
Hi Chris,
I run a few websites and blog. I applied for AdGator but received a message that they are full. Do you have any idea how to get in?
Cheers
Jaco – we’ll be reopening to new blogs early in March.
I’m actually on and off with adgator for mostly poor revenue compared to adsense. Haven’t used it for a while and recently gave it a bash, only to remove it yet again. There were running the Standard Bank campaign and noticed campaign would stop at a given time and nothing would replace it, meaning my adspace would serve a blank space…I find this very unproductive and wonder if it’s worth using them at all?
Maybe Justin, can give clarity on serving blank space? At least before I know adgator would be defaulted to their in-house banners…which is far better than serving nothing at all.
Hi Muzi,
I know that with Adsense you can serve your own adverts when there aren’t adverts available from their inventory, I’m sure AdGator will start doing something soon, however, they are partnered with AdDynamo now, so you shouldn’t have blank spots?
