When Pepperjam launched Pepperjam Network earlier this year I was still in Iraq and only had a chance to sign up for the new affiliate network. After returning back from my deployment and getting around to catching up on an obscene amount of backlog I finally got around to poking around the Pepperjam Network.
Logging into the affiliate control panel I was immediately impressed with the technology and detail. Everything you need to run a successful affiliate marketing campaign is immediately at your disposal in an aesthetically pleasing layout.

- Stop your snickering at the goose egss! I just got on this network and haven’t run a legitimate PPC campaign yet
Pepperjam has secured some HUGE merchant/retailer names. Looking through their list of advertisers you’ll see many of the same wildly popular advertisers you love to promote and some interesting new advertisers in very specialized niche markets you may not be familiar with like Andy’s Airplanes.

In my opinion one of the best features of this affiliate network is pepperjamADS.
“pepperjamADS is an affiliate marketing widget that you can use to serve customized contextual ads from one or multiple Pepperjam Network advertisers at the same time. The ad units come in various shapes and sizes. You can mix and mash ads from any of your merchant partners. For instance, you can create a fashion widget by selecting various ads from multiple fashion merchants. Likewise, you can create a specific widget with ads from any one merchant.”
If you haven’t already signed up for the Pepperjam Network…what are you waiting for? Pepperjam’s 2008 Inc. 500 ranking is #70 with three-year revenue growth of 2,447.5%. Pepperjam ranks as one of the top 100 fastest growing privately-held companies in the United States of America!

Platform-A, http://www.platform-a.com, AOL’s digital advertising division, recently announced the launch of an affiliate marketing solution that links the buy.at affiliate network to the widget-based marketing tools of wildly popular Goowy Media, Inc.
If you’ve been living under a rock for the past few years…Goowy Media, Inc. develops innovative online products and services that provide simple, intuitive tools for managing your digital life and expressing yourself on the web. Their most popular products are yourminus.com and goowy webtop
This progressive move by AOL enables web publishers, like you and me, to generate additional revenue from a combination of affiliate, widget and viral marketing. It will be exciting to see how Platform-A advertisers integrate/syndicate this new capability into their customized widgets for your blog, website, and even your desktop! Very cool stuff indeed.
For more than a little while now I haven’t had too many good things to say about these blasted Widgets! They seemed to just take up real advertising space and bleed my hard-earned web traffic. However, I will gladly test these viral advertiser generated widgets out on my network of blogs/sites so my visitors and customers can snatch them up and redistribute them to the far corners of the Web. Just think about the applications…MySpace, FaceBook, etc.
Lynda Clarizio, President of Platform-A states, “This solution combines the best of affiliate and widget advertising in a solution that benefits publishers and advertisers alike. Publisher revenue potential, brand exposure for the advertiser, and potential conversions grow virally each time the widget is downloaded by a consumer.”
I agree Lynda! Now this is what we collectively mean by the moniker Web 2.0 people!
