Media Whiz Acquires AuctionAds

I’m a little late on post about this, but for those that have not heard, Media Whiz, the parent company of Text-Link-Ads, purchased AuctionAds from Jeremy Schoemaker and Dillsmack. Of course the amount of which Media Whiz purchased AuctionAds is undisclosed.

So what does this mean for Ebay Affiliates using AuctionAds? Well in my opinion and please note its only my opinion, I think Media Whiz will do a fine job with AuctionAds just as they have with Text-Link-Ads. Alot of people are concerned that payouts will be dropping as Shoemoney from the start of AuctionAds thus far has been paying out 100% of the earnings. I’m going to have to disagree with the people that think the payouts will drop.

As most of you know, AuctionAds is still going through CJ at the moment, however, I can’t see it being that way for long if it hasn’t already changed . Now because its going through CJ you know CJ has to be raking in some dough for it. If not why would CJ be doing it? So what I forsee happening is AuctionAds going directly through Ebay for the affiliate program meaning AuctionAds will be getting what CJ has been getting from it, thus allowing publisher to keep receiving the payouts they are currently receiving.

Again this is all speculation however, seems like the logical step for everyone except Commission Junction.

Huge Congrats to Jeremy Schoemaker (aka Shoemoney) and Dillsmack on AuctionAds and where they have brought it up to from the beginning. It is arguably one of the biggest launches of any advertising company. In only 4 months they have had over 25,000 publishers that have displayed over 1 Billion Impressions. Then sold it for what has to be (once again guessing) in the millions.
