Improved Advertisers Statistics. . .

Today we are announcing our first major improvement to our program since the launch of our Cleveland advertisement network.

We have enhanced the statistics page for advertisers. What we did was add graphs to visually see how many clicks and views are received, and a pie chart to see a click distribution breakdown from each website that has been purchased in the advertisers campaign.



If an advertiser purchased ads on multiple websites, they will be able to see a breakdown of clicks and views to each particular website. In addition, users are able to graphically see a separate chart that displays clicks and views for each website. Also, if they want to recall the ad they bought for any website, they will be able to see the ad in our much improved advertiser dashboard.

Below is an image that shows the pie graphs and a breakdown of clicks, costs, cost per view, etc for each website an ad has been purchased on:



For our publishers, the same statistics will be made to your statistics pages in the near future.

Cleveland Network

It's been one week now since we launched the Cleveland network and I wanted to update everyone on how things are going.

We have some prominent publishers signed up, including ClevelandLeader.com, Cavsnews.com, PluggedinCleveland.com, and ClevelandsaPlum.com. Several more bloggers and publishers have expressed interest too.

We have already sold out an entire month's ad space for one of our publishers. The network of Cleveland Publishers is coming along nicely. All combined, our publishers will be serving an estimated 600,000 ad impressions.

We have set up meetings or will be discussing our Cleveland network with the following companies this coming week:

1) Winking Lizard
2) Panini's Grill
3) Great Lakes Brewery
4) Playhouse Square
5) Swensons
6) Harry Buffalo's
7) Mavis Winkle's

We'll continue to keep you posted as the network develops.

Targeting Regions and Cities

A new feature has been added for the new year: searchable regions.

The first city we launched is our hometown, Cleveland. We plan on launching more cities in the near future, but we want to first make sure Cleveland has a successful launch! As of right now we are focused on getting publishers and bringing in local advertisers from Cleveland.

This is a great service for local business owners in Cleveland trying to reach a local audience outside of print media.

New Layout and Features

We have finally launched our new design and many new features!

We hope everyone finds the design more appealing and easier to understand our product, as we think it will help a lot!

Our newest features include:

The Marketplace: Publishers meet Advertisers! This is the place to shop for advertisement, with an easy-to-use cart function. Ordering advertisements on multiple sites takes seconds.

Promo Codes!!! Offer them directly on your site or in our marketplace! Get advertisers hooked on your site!

Advertisement campaigns: Advertisers can now track their purchases by using the following stats: CTR, CPC, CPM, and total amount of Clicks and Views.

Next up, we have a big feature to add. More details will be posted about this shortly!
