Nous voici déjà à la fin de l’année, et tout le monde apprécie d’être payé un peu plus tôt que d’habitude, donc cette année encore nous avons avancé la date des paiements, et les paiements seront envoyés demain plutôt que le 27 comme initialement prévu. Normalement la plupart d’entre vous devrait donc recevoir le paiement à temps pour quelques achats de dernière minute!
It is that time of the year again were everyone likes to have the money a bit early, so we decided this year again to move the payments date a little bit, and all payments will be sent out tomorrow rather than the 27th as initially planned. Hopefully most of you will get the money in time for some last-minute shopping!
If you have been using Google Adsense ads on your sites, you have probably already seen the unfamous “Public Service Ads”. Those can happen in a number of situations, especially if you have content on your site that Google might object to, and of course those ads generate no revenue.
In order to avoid wasting this ad real estate, you can now use Oxado ads as Google Adsense alternate ads, while still keeping the contextualization features (using a frame or something equivalent would not work as nicely).
To use this feature, just create a new banner using the appropriate link, and then paste the code before the Adsense code (which should not include any alternate ad). That’s it, you’re done: as soon as Google doesn’t have anything to display or doesn’t want to display anything on your page, Oxado ads will appear, and you should get some extra revenue.
Of course, Google, Adsense and Google Adsense are registered trademarks owned by Google, Inc.
An oft-requested feature: being able to control the type of ads displayed. This is now possible, and you can chose to filter out:
You can also opt not to display logos along text ads for those that have them, and likewise for prices.
Please note, though, that we strongly recommend you don’t filter out any ads unless there is a strong and compelling reason to do so: it restricts the number of ads our engine can chose from, and it can thus restrict relevance, or in some cases, prevent the display of any ads. If you have an international audience, don’t forget that some countries have limited inventory, and only certain types of ads, so if you filter those out, there won’t be any ads at all.
You’ve been warned!
We haven’t talked much about it, but we have silently added a lot of new countries over the last few months. If you have been using Oxado for a while (or a while ago), check out the list of countries here. Depending on the countries, you may either have PPC (pay per click) ads from Yahoo! Search Marketing, Miva, Genieknows and others, PPA (pay per action: lead or sale) ads from Tradedoubler, Zanox or Commission Junction, or a combination of both. Likewise, you may have text or graphical ads.
Among the countries added over the last few months:
Yet more reasons to use Oxado on your sites. Of course, we keep on adding new coverage, so stay posted!
A much asked for feature: you can now be paid on a Paypal account in all countries where Paypal allows this. This means you now have the choice between:
Un nouveau blog tout beau tout chaud, pour vous tenir un peu au courant de ce qui se passe chez Oxado. La plupart des posts seront probablement en anglais pour qu’ils puissent profiter au plus grand nombre, mais de temps en temps on essaiera de vous parler aussi en français. On est trop généreux 
Well, this is the brand new Oxado blog. We’ll use it to let you know of new features, changes, as well as rant about technical thingies and let you discover the wonderful world of Oxado. There’s quite a bit of catch-up to do as there have been lots of new things happening, some visible, some not, in the last few months, and we haven’t talked much about them. Enjoy!
