What is the Preferred Publisher Program?
The Adgitize Preferred Publishers List will highlight our publishers who are showing the Adgitize Ad Group in a preferred location on their blog.
Who is Eligible for the Preferred Publisher Program?
All publishers are eligible for the program, but there are a couple of things you need to do to qualify for the program. You must show an Adgitize Ad Group no less than one scroll bar click below the fold. Why do we require this rule? Our advertisers would like the best visibility possible to their ads. As a preferred publisher you are guaranteeing our advertisers preferred positioning on your blog. We expect the landing page of a preferred publisher to be a blog page. It cannot be a sales page. It cannot be a page of links. It must be a page with content. And finally the landing page should be fast loading.
Rules to Be A Preferred Publisher
- At Least One Adgitize Ad Group Must be Above the Fold or one Scroll Bar Click below the Fold - Measured at a Screen Resolution of 1024 X 768 px.
- Fast Loading Page
- Landing Page Must be a Blog Page
Why Should I Want My Blog to be a Preferred Publisher?
The preferred publishers will be shown in two places on the Adgitize site. Your blog will have a link on the Preferred Publisher List shown next to the Community Button. Any visitor to Adgitize will have an opportunity to see who our publishers are. You will get traffic from random visitors checking out the Adgitize Opportunity.
You will also see your publisher link in the Blogs Not Clicked Today list in the Member's Lounge. The Preferred Publishers List will be replacing the Blogs Not Clicked list so members clicking Adgitize Ads will be using this "Preferred List" of fast loading above the fold Adgitize Ad groups.
Is There a Fee for this Program?
There are two options. You can pay a monthly fee or you can utilize the FREE Option. How do you qualify for the FREE option? It is actually very easy. All you have to do is for any 4 day period score 300 Adgitize Ad Click points. Then you can see your blog in the Preferred Publisher List.
Am I automatically in the Preferred Publisher list with the FREE option? NO. You must sign up for the free option.
If you don't have time to click on Adgitize Advertiser Ads then you can qualify for the Preferred Publisher list by paying a small monthly fee. There are 3 payment options, monthly, quarterly or a monthly subscription option.
Are Adgitize Points Awarded?
You can earn additional Adgitize Advertiser points by being an Adgitize Preferred Publisher. If you choose the Free Option Preferred Publisher then you will score an additional 10 points a day each day you qualify for the FREE option. Paid preferred publishers can earn an additional 25 points a day.
You can only have 1 FREE preferred publisher in this program per member. You may have multiple blogs in the list for paid Preferred Publishers. Why not add a link for each of your blogs in Adgitize?
This is a great opportunity for publishers to get exposure in the Adgitize Network.
