Using BlamAds Content Gateways to Convert Site Traffic

When it comes to affiliate networks and competition, BlamAds is doing what it takes to stay ahead of the competition. BlamAds was created by Ryan Eagle, who also founded the very successful affiliate network EWA. (Sidenote: EWA is now accepting applications on their network again!) Through EWA, Ryan and his team have learned how to kill it with affiliate offers and know how to make them work. Using that same concept, BlamAds was created for incentivized marketing and the use of gateway portals. For anyone with a gaming, entertainment or high traffic web site, you need to try this out!

For anyone new to incentivized marketing, it’s simply getting rewarded for signing up to an offer or completing an action. One of the most popular ways to explain this, is through the use of Farmville on Facebook. When playing Farmville, if you want more coins or dollars, you can signup to an affiliate offer. The consumer gets the service they signed up for, plus the bonus of some free virtual currently. The advertiser gets a new customer, and most importantly, you as the content site or affiliate, would receive the commission.

Creating BlamAds Content Gateways & How They Work

I was just inside BlamAds creating a few new content gateway ads for a few of my sites, and a lot of new features have been added. It only took a few minutes to select which campaigns I wanted to display, change around the customized look and throw the tag up onto my site. Here’s a screenshot of my end result.

As you can see, this gateway was created for “gaming” related web site. In the background you can see a preview of what the user would have access to on the web site after completing an offer, in this case. There are currently 15 different themes you can choose from, or you can create your own. You can also select the offers you want to appear, or BlamAds will automatically test and rotate different creatives and only show those that are performing best.

How content gateways work is simple. Instead of simply offering up your web site content for free, you now have the option to offer your site visitors a free survey or offer to complete to view your content. This is much easier to set up than trying to charge for your content, and it will also take your site visitors only a few moments. In reality, a lot of people will probably leave your site once seeing this option, but you will have to test your new revenue numbers and compare them to the value of your site content and visitors.
