Hello everyone!
I recently quit a nice full-time job at Microsoft to be an entrepreneur. My first venture is
emptyspaceads which helps web publishers like yourself turn their website's empty space in to cash on your pocket.
The idea with emptyspaceads is that your site's empty space isn't providing you any value beyond simple aesthetics. Firstly, the ads only appear when when your user's mouse is in the empty space of your site, and they only appear within your site's empty space. So for some users, they'll never see the ads.
I just launched officially a couple week ago, so I'm really looking for honestly brutal feedback that helps me improve this product to make you folks happy. company blog posts) tend to get ignored by users because they learn to ignore standard ad formats and placements. Finally, you can have your cake and eat it too by letting you keep all of your existing ad units, as well as website design. Oh and our first users are
reporting nearly 10X the CTR of AdSense.
You can create your own TextAds, ImageAds, or even HTMLAds. These allow you to drive users to content on your website or blog that you monetize well (a CafePress store for example), or behavior you'd like to encourage (like more RSS subscribers). (See our blog for an example how we use emptyspaceads to get more RSS subscribers to our blog by embedding the feedburner chicklet). Or our Sample TextAd, ImageAd, or NetworkAd... our check out our
demo.
So now I'd like to start getting more publishers using it. How would you suggest reaching folks like you, website publishers? There's forums to be sure... but how else would you suggest I go about it? Thanks!
