Congratulations to the team behind AuctionAds who today announced that they’ve been acquired by Media Whiz. Well done Jeremy and Dave – don’t spend it all at once!
My name is Darren Rowse and I’m a full time Blogger making a living from this new and dynamic medium from blogs like Digital Photography School and TwiTip - Twitter Tips.
Back in 2002 I stumbled upon an article about ‘Blogging’. I didn’t know it at the time but that moment changed my life. Since then I've become a full time blogger and have blogged on over 20 blogs and co-founded the b5media blog network.

Any idea on the price Media Whiz paid? At least the number of zeros? 25,000 publishers in 4 months. That’s some accomplishment.

Didn’t know that site but, after reading it (because of you :-)) I must say they had a great idea (targeting bids through blogs and monetizing it).
Congrats to them :-)
Kind regards from Spain.

I’ve been using them since the start, mostly in the dead spaces of my blogs and make a few bucks from them. It’s a nice interface and they always pay on time.
That said, I make much more money with the eBay affiliate directly through cj.com and will probably continue to use and promote that.

I’m kind of surprised by this news. I signed up for an account with them, but I took them off my comparison shopping blog because their script was having problems and either not showing at all or causing slow page loads. I guess it must have been because of their tremendous growth rate. Maybe I’ll give them another look. Anyways, congratulations are in order to them for making their dream come true and turning a tidy profit from their venture.
