I’m curious about Kalahari, what website are you displaying Kalahari links on? I wouldn’t mind giving it a go myself :)

I’ve tried Amazon before, but didn’t have too much luck, then again, Kalahari is more local than Amazon and a lot of my traffic is local..

25% is a hell of a lot better and if each advertiser is choosing 3 verticals, that’s 75% which is golden.

Thanks, once again, for heading on over and clearing everything up – it’s often the support and understand that sells a product effectively.

Can’s wait to see the new advertisers rolling out :)

Your assumptions of how Adgator verticals work are spot on with one exception. While we do have sites in say 40 verticals we are only selling the 4 main verticals to advertisers.

The sub-verticals are too small at this stage to offer such detailed targeting but with time and growth we will start to offer sub-verticals.

So at this stage If you’re in one of 4 verticals you’ve got a 25% chance of being served a paid ad. So far – every advertiser has chosen at least 3 verticals and the nice thing with our new campaigns is that when you combine all 3 campaigns to be run concurrently then every single vertical is making money.

@Ash – in terms of the T&C’s this has been a work in progress. On Monday we will be launching a RULES page which shows people what they can/can’t do on Adgator. Our T&Cs are taking longer to finalise because they’re sitting with a bunch of legal eagles! But, having said that, we have noticed things that we don’t like and we need to make people aware of what the rules of acceptance are. (Watch out for an email from us on Monday).

@Denford – Afrigator is our core and we’re not forgetting it in the least. Stii is working full time on Afrigator development while I have been developing Adgator (technology) so we have dedicated resources to both. One area that we are struggling with a little is the support for both platforms because while Lester has been doing a fantastic job on support and communication we have so many requests coming in from both Afrigator & Adgator that it’s difficult to respond immediately to people.

I’m very curious to see what happens this coming week, because I’m getting more and more emails from people who are upset that I recommended this system, yet it doesn’t earn them anything :/

Seriously though, it does sound like a good thing, except when it interferes with the core business of Afrigator,since they have now stopped picking up our posts and feeds from all over Africa because of these ads.

Just some constructive criticism.

I think their doing a great job as I’ve made more money in the past 4 days with adgator than what I’ve made with adsense over the same period, so the bloggers are definitely benefiting:)
