I learned about a promotion from Advertising.com during the Affiliate Meet Market in Miami last week. Missy Barnstein, from the Advertising.com Affiliate Product Solutions team, told me about their 10 Million Free Impression sweepstakes.

According to Missy, the 10 million impressions are quality impressions that will run across the entire Advertising.com network. Affiliates do not have to join their network for a chance to win - it’s just a matter of filling out a lead form.

They’re doing good things over there, and I don’t say that just because they have some Maryland Terps on staff (my alma mater).

While they are a large operation (subsidiary of AOL), they have really focused on dedicated resources for their affiliate program and cultivating a relationship oriented environment that affiliates generally experience with smaller companies.

As far as the tracking and reporting, they’ve got their own platform and they’re paying out millions of dollars each month (net 15 days).

Check them out if for no other reason than to get a chance on those 10 million impressions.

One of the neat things about Affiliate Summit was meeting affiliate marketers from all over the world. On the second day of the conference, I had a chance to speak with Firuze Gökce of Affmeter.com.

Firuze made the trip to Miami from Ankara, Turkey. Here is what she had to say about Affmeter, a program to aggregate affiliate reporting…

“We are developing a software called Affmeter that helps you collect affiliate revenue data from the different affiliate networks into one place, so you can see the big picture.

The benefit of Affmeter is that it’s not a Web-based program; it’s a desktop program, so there is no interference with your data.

It’s clear, it’s secure, and it’s a great time-saver for you.”

According to their site, Affmeter currently supports the following affiliate networks: Affiliate Future, Affiliate Window, Buy.at, ClickBank, Commission Junction, DGM Affiliates, DoubleClick Performics, LinkShare, PaidonResults, Reporting.net, TradeDoubler, and Webgains, as well as Google AdSense.
