A blog focused on helping bloggers and online retailers make more money online.

The development team at AffinityClick has been very busy these past few months working with our internal team to get a large number of new features and improvements added to our current platform.  We spent a lot of time listening to our users and reading what the bloggers thought about the current widgets, and what they would like to see added to our platform.  After months of deliberation and testing, we are very excited to show off all our new features and enhancements to the AffinityClick platform and how they work.

• Customizable Widgets: It was clear to us that publishers were very concerned with the appearance of their blogs, and that is why we now allow you to match the look of the AffinityClick widgets to your blog theme.  Colours, fonts, sizes, background gradients and borders are all customizable and can be previewed before going live on your site.

• WordPress plugin: With the WordPress community growing each day, we knew it was important to make our widget easily accessible for all our WordPress bloggers.  It is now a matter of downloading our custom AffinityClick plugin within WordPress for a seamless and simple integration.  Our new plugin also allows WordPress-hosted publishers to easily install AffinityClick banners without encountering Javascript limitations in the WordPress-hosted platform.  Try it now!

• Passive contextual-links: One of the current AffinityClick widgets is known as an ‘In-Text’ link, allowing users to display contextual ads based on certain in-text links.  This has been restored in the current update, but is now also complimented with a new addition called ‘Passive Contextual Links’.  Passive links will allow users to double-click or highlight any piece of text to display contextual ads based on what has been chosen.  This is a great way to display ads when readers are leaving your website, or want to dig deeper into your blog posts.

• Optimized ad placement algorithms: We have spent a lot of time under the hood optimizing which products are displayed based on relevant keywords contained within page content.  The result: ads are better matched to page content, meaning, more clicks and more revenue for our publishers (that’s you!)

• Report Enhancements: Reports is where we received the largest amout of feedback from our publishers…..you asked for it and we’ve listened.  Reports now display ‘raw’ clicks versus audited clicks to account for all your traffic and show you exactly which clicks are eligible for click revenue.  This will be a huge game changer for all our users now!

• More products: In order to stay on top, and provide our users with the highest output of products we have increased our ad inventory to almost 20 million products from top brands and retailers.  More products means better targeting and more clicks!

• Bugs fixes and performance enhancements: Many of our users pointed out many bugs in the tool, and we are happy to announce that we have fixed over 150 issues.  We have also implemented new system optimizations to make this AffinityClick release the fatest, most stable release yet.

AffinityClick is constantly working hard to evolve and enhance our current product, allowing our users to always be in the lead.  We are always looking to add innovative new features and optimize our systems to increase performance and our publishers’ revenue results.  We’re excited about this release and our latest features, and promise even more exciting news this summer.
