The Drew Barrymore Collective, another new AUA partner, appears to be a well established Drew Barrymore fan site. According to their site info the Drew Barrymore Collective was started in 1997. Thanks for partnering with us DBC!

"Can I use Alternate URL Ads with Chitika - or am I limited to Google AdSense?"

Yes - you can use AUA with Chitika. While we don't have a wizard for Chitika yet (working on it, sorry folks) you can follow the directions found here to integrate AUA with Chitika. (You'll need to create an AUA html page, upload it to your server and then follow the directions from the Chitika Support area.)

But wait it doesn't stop there! Did you realize you can use AUA as a stand alone contextual ad service?

I recently posted regarding Alternate URL Ads support for international partners and interestingly enough I've identified two new non-US based partner websites that are serving AUA ads.

The Geography Site - "The Geography Site is committed to providing the best quality Internet resources for geography teachers, geography students and anyone with an interest in geography and how our amazing planet works." The Geography Site is based in the UK.





Findoo - Which bills itself as "The specialists" is a meta-search engine based in Germany.

Very cool guys! Thanks for choosing Alternate URL Ads!

"I've noticed on my website that sometimes Alternate URL Ads serves ads from ads1.alternate-url-ads.com and sometimes ads2.alternate-url-ads.com - is this normal?"

Yes - this is completley normal. AUA serves ads from multiple servers, we do so to provide improved performance and fault tolerance (If any single server fails the remaining servers simply pick up the slack). As we grow you can expect the number of servers we use to grow as well.

If you have a question regarding AUA feel free to send it to:

NewsMapr is another AUA partner worthy of comment. NewsMapr gives you your daily news using a unique form factor - a map (did the title give it away?).

(For the curious few out there NewsMapr appears to be getting its news from NewsFino.)

Here is another interesting AUA partner website - Places and Spaces.

I found Places and Spaces extra useful because I'm constantly searching for new and unique ideas for activities. They had more then a few selections for my local area.

I've decided to start featuring various AUA partner websites. My goal is to give people real world examples of AUA integrations.

The first example is CityRati, a website that provides classified ads for the entire United States. CityRati uses Yahoo Maps to display classified ad locations.

A very common question we encounter is "When will I get paid?"

Since AUA partners get paid directly from Searchfeed the standard Searchfeed payment schedule applies. Payments will be made upon reaching a level of fifty ($50.00) dollars, or twenty (20) business days after each calendar month, whichever is less frequent.

However, Searchfeed historically pays on or around the 10th of each month which is ahead of their published payment schedule.

Did you know we offer a free library of articles designed to help you improve your AdSense revenues?

(While Alternative URL Ads is guaranteed to improve your revenue you can always find ways to optimize your underlying Google AdSense set-up.)

is proudly helping over 1,500 unique domains improve their AdSense revenues! Not bad considering we're just getting started.

We've added a counter to the homepage that displays the number of current AUA partners so you can feel free to check there for updates to this figure.

(I've got my fingers crossed that this is just the tip of the iceberg.)

What features would you to see in the next version of AUA? Since we've been brainstorming features for the next AUA release we've become more then a little curious about what you, our partners, would like to see in the next version.

Here are a few of our ideas:
  • Partners retain control of PSAs (ie use PSAs to promote your own website/interests)
  • Support for custom ad unit sizes
  • "More like this ..." option on ad units
  • A referral program that could raise your revenue share
What do you think of our ideas? What ideas do you have?

What is the Searchfeed Partner ID? We've had a bit of recent confusion regarding what is the correct value to pass for your Searchfeed Partner ID. We wanted to clarify this because this is such an important value.

You can find your partner id by logging into Searchfeed and looking in the top left corner of your display. The image to the right shows this portion of the display with the correct value identified by a red outline.

Remember! This value must be correct for Searchfeed to pay you for any clicks you generate.

Today I found blogging about Alternate URL Ads and their plans to use it - which imho is very cool. According to his recent entry he is planning trying Alternate URL Ads out on his blog Jotsheet. Best of luck!

As if you didn't already have enough reasons to consider Alternate URL Ads we're trying hard to come up with a few more!

Since we'll only make money when you do it's in our best interest to promote our partners (websites that display Alternate URL Ads). We're just getting our feet wet here but we've started this process by creating a New Partners page that displays the most recent partners to join.

While most people use Alternate URL Ads to replace PSAs and recoup lost revenues it is possible to use Alternate URL Ads as a stand alone product.

Why would you ever want to do this? A few reasons come to mind:
  • You were banned from Google AdSense
  • Your website topic is not Google AdSense friendly
  • Google AdSense is serving you less then contextual CPM in place of CPC ads
  • Your impatient and can't wait to be approved by Google
Ok - maybe the last one is a bit of a stretch but I only include it to draw attention to our immediate approval process. Any friend of Searchfeed is a friend of ours!

The most common question that we encounter is "How much money am I actually losing because of PSAs?" I wish there was a simple answer but alas the answer will vary from site to site.

However if we had a rough idea of:
  • Number of Pages in your Website
  • Average Pages Views per Page
  • Percentage of PSAs Displayed
  • Average CTR
  • Average CPC Payout
We could try to estimate the amound of money any given site is losing. To make this a less daunting process we've created a handy PSA Lost Revenue Estimation Tool.

Alternate URL Ads is a new mash-up service that replaces Google PSAs with paying, contextually relevant advertisements. Imagine that .. a mash-up that can actually make your money!

Similar to the big guys, Alternate URL Ads, offers a fully automated contextual solution. After pasting our invocation code into your website we'll quickly identify what we believe is an accurate representation of your context. We also offer geotargetted advertisements as well!

Understanding the context of your website is really only half the equation. We need to be able to serve relevant ads that match your context. In order to accomplish this a large inventory of bidded keywords and phrases is required. Thanks to Searchfeed we can offer you over 30 million bidded keywords and phrases. That means we are always be able to show relevant advertisements (unlike a lot of our competitors).

If you use Google AdSense, Chitika or any other advertising program that offers an Alternate URL feature we encourage you to give Alternate URL Ads a look. We're confident you'll like what you see!
