Pixel Advertising Reaches New Markets!

March 8, 2006   Posted by: Richard Fox

The dust is settling on the pixel advertising market. A lot of sites are closing down, some are consolidating with other sites, new ones are popping up trying to take the last few pixels of market share. It remains to be seen, people keep asking me, "What was the marketing scheme all about?" I tell most people the internet is its own organism. It lives, it breathes, it creates, it is an oraganic thing. The innovations, or gimmics, fads, get created, get hyped, and then slowly fade away, and some actually get reinvented or repackaged to create something new. Pixel advertising is a way for "niche" markets to open up new ground to thrive and grow. A recent example is our new music category that has been purchased by a company called EarPix.com. They are clear they wanted to have a way to push products, services, and people in a new way that would offer this industry an outlet for traffic. Purchasing categories on iZoomZoom is like purchasing a marketing solution for your entire "niche" market. If you sell pet supplies, why would you go out and buy, configure, and design your own pixel script when you can have one built for you in less than a day? Not only do you get your own pixel grid to place on your site, but you get to own an entire category at iZoomZoom. You choose how much to sell your pixels for, and we take care of the rest for you. Everyone is looking for an easy, automated business system that does all the work for them. Well, that's our business! We like to work! We like helping businesses make money! So if you have a strong network within your "niche" industry, this is the perfect solution for you. It really is. For $180 there is nothing better on the market! In fact, I don't think there is anything else out there. If you know of anyone doing what we're doing we'd like to know. Please email us today.

The 10 x 10 for $10 SALE!

I found this in an article about the "validity" of pixel advertising that was written November 25, 2005: "The trouble could ultimately lie in the method. In the long run, say online marketing experts, there's little value to pixel advertising. What was a hot fad during the summer and fall is now winding down. Pixel ads, not unlike Lance Armstrong's "Livestrong" yellow rubber bracelets, for a short time were an online rage, according to Gary Stein, a senior analyst at San Francisco-based Jupiter Research. In one moment, everyone's doing it and then, poof!, they are gone. The biggest challenge is bringing viewers to the site. "You can't really see the ads," Mr. Stein said of the pixel approach. If the Web site accomplishes its goal, filling up with myriad names and logos, the ads become almost indecipherable, a mosaic of color." For thousands of years people have been discovering things while others disprove the discoveries. At one point people actually believed the world was flat. They had substantial proof too. Then, one day, a guy said, "Hey, it's actually round." Some people believed him, others didn't. In the long run, only time can tell what is "real", and even then it is only real for a period of time until someone else discovers something to disprove that which is "real". What's my point? I see the economy and simplicity of pixel advertising. I see where other pixel advertising sites lack the vision of what pixel advertising can actually do for a business. My vision... Trim the "fat". There are too many pixel ad businesses out there. Once the "fad" dies out, only the best of the best will be left and that is where businesses will go, then pixel advertising will be a viable marketing platform. Stay tuned for more advancements in our technology! We look forward to serving your needs.

Unexpected Pixel Adventure!

February 21, 2006   Posted by: Richard Fox

Over the last few months I've had to ask myself questions like, "What good is a pixel site if there are no advertisers?" and "How can a pixel site with hardly any traffic benefit their customers?" and "What makes people go to pixel sites, and what has them come back?" Today, a new answer arrived. I was browsing through the competition, you know, clicking on the interesting-looking pixel graphics, through one site, then another site, then another, and then I found this one graphic. Simple but unique design, no words. I click on it. It takes me to another Pixel Site. There are only a handful of advertsers on the site, but one really stood out, "Make an Internet Fortune", it says. I'm always intrigued by this type of statement, so I click it. It takes me to a site that is an MLM scheme, but with an amazing product that seems far too good to be true. It just can't be. I look into it, I read about it, research articles online, then, I finally find a number to call. I call. It's all for real! It's brand new, only launched a couple months ago. The website is slowing down because they've gotten so much traffic. I checked on Alexa, they were ranked 100,000 in January and by today they are ranked in the top 5,000. It's HOT HOT HOT! It just goes to show what a little ad on a non-traffic site can do for your business. Now just imagine what kind of business you can do with a site like iZoomZoom.com, which is growing in traffic daily.

Channel Marketing Opportunity!

February 1, 2006   Posted by: Richard Fox

It appears that our product is actually "hot" as a channel marketing opportunity for communities, organizations, or industries looking to capture an entire vertical market (or in our case, a category). We've been getting a lot of emails regarding our patent-pending software. Due to the overwhelming response we've created a special Vertical Value Package which will allow customers to purchase an entire category for a low monthly subscription price. We are also in the process of revamping our affiliate program and creating new web design packages for customers who don't already have a web presence, or that have one but would like to redesign it, giving it a new look and feel. To be honest, the opportunity this business has opened up for us and others is what gets me out of bed in the morning and keeps me awake thinking late at night. It's so great to create something that is useful, to provide a service for businesses to get excited about. This is truly a blessing.

Pixel Ad Traffic Doubling Everyday!

January 26, 2006   Posted by: Richard Fox

This is fantastic! We've been doubling in traffic everyday! The lastest 'Zoom' feature has been a tremendous boon to our success for sure. It's been crazy hectic at the office. We've been fielding phone calls, emails, making updates, keeping up with the Jones. It's awesome!! We have two press releases going out tomorrow which should drive more traffic to the site. One is going out to all the radio stations. This, we hope, will garner an interview or two. We are totally committed to getting this site up to par as the marketing platform of the future. Pixel ads will be as common as banner ads are today. We have a really big surprise coming mid February, which will tie all the pieces together in one big happy ecommerce package. If you're a small business looking to push ahead on the web... stay posted...

Technology Crunch when Pixel Ads Flourish!

January 25, 2006   Posted by: Richard Fox

It seems we're having some technical difficulties when we get more traffic to the site. Today we're moving to a dedicated server environment. The downtime wasn't extensive, but it still hurts at this stage in the game. On a brighter side it looks like we were published in a newspaper in India. And our article is all over the net. I'll be writing a new press release tomorrow regarding our release of the new 'Zoom' feature. The 'Zoom' feature allows you to see the site that the graphic is linked to, so you know where you're going before you commit to clicking on the graphic. We're so excited about this new technology because we are transforming the pixel ad industry from just a link-sharing opportunity, to a true advertising engine. More to come, it's been really busy today! Feel free to write us if you have any comments or suggestions. We'd love to hear from our followers.

Pixel Ads Create Successful Business Relationships!

January 23, 2006   Posted by: Richard Fox

Again, we've doubled our traffic since yesterday! Not only that, but we've been contacted by news agencies and radio stations for interviews regarding this new advertising revolution. You know, it wasn't too long ago, in the first days of the Internet, people were telling me the same thing "it's a fad", "it won't last", "it's never going to take off". It's funny, there is such pessimism regarding the profitability of new ventures. Some say I've been blessed with vision. Not only is pixel advertising going to be the wave of the future, it's going to change the way we 'browse' the internet. Today we've added a new search feature to our site that allows users to find advertisers by keywords. We're also adding local categories as well so people can search by locale. It's awesome! Well, let's see what tomorrow brings! More press hopefully. Working on getting an interview with some local papers.

Free Pixel Ads a Hit!

January 21, 2006   Posted by: Richard Fox

Once we launched our free pixel ads for our categories we saw an increase in traffic, in fact it doubled! Although, at this point, it seems like a drop of water in an ocean. :) We've been doing massive link sharing with other free pixel ad sites, posted our site in online forums, sent out press releases, we're confident our business model works. After setting up the multiple ads on the free pixel ad sites, I had a revelation. These links actually help increase the website ranking in the search engines! It's not about how big the block, it's about the quantity of blocks, and the keywords used in the alternate text of the graphic. I've added the links to these free pixel ad sites so that we can help other companies boost their traffic. It's awesome! The next step is to start pushing our affiliate program. That is where we can really make the biggest impact! We have some great things in store for them!!

Making Strides!

January 19, 2006   Posted by: Richard Fox

Today is Day 6 in our efforts to get i Zoom Zoom off and running. We started a new affiliate program, where we're offering 50% commissions. It's a steep commission rate, but it's worth it. Our goal is to help our customers make money too, share the wealth! I must say, it's been a bit rough on the get go. We're still working on the 'zoom' feature (it works on some of the graphics but not all of them). Once we get that up, it will give us a distinct advantage over the other sites. In the meantime, we've hit the streets with flyers and stickers. It's great when everyone is so excited about the product and rallies to promote the idea. The vibe is action-oriented to say the least (maybe even a little caffeine induced). Tomorrow we're starting a new program which will allow people to get free pixels on our category pages. The 'everything' category will still be $1/pixel, since it is the homepage. I look forward to seeing a lot more traffic by next week. We'll see how it goes.

Ready, Set, Go!

January 13, 2006   Posted by: Richard Fox

As I sit here thinking back to the crazy adventure of starting up an internet business I realize, more than anything, how 'relationships' are the lifeblood of our company. This past year has put us through some of the most shark infested waters of the web. Hiring technical consultants out-of-state was detrimental, and set us back a year in development. To recoup our loses we pulled together, blessed with skills to find solutions, and created an ever growing network of properties which will fuel the traffic needed to build the dream we started a year ago. I am very grateful to those friends, family, and collegues who helped sustain our lives while we worked to create a brighter future for small businesses to easily and economically migrate into online ecommerce. What do I mean by that? We are here to make a difference in the economy. Online fraud has significantly impacted our 'bottom line', and is taking a toll on all of our incomes. Soon the feds will increase our minimum payments on our credit cards from 2% to 4%. Bidfly Inc. was created to offer consumers a safe, fun, and reliable place to shop, and provide businesses an opportunity to get their products or services online for FREE, and make it easy to build the storefront without having to know any HTML, although having a eye for style would help :). We developed an online auction/storefront technology that works in tandem with each other, providing a different type of sales channel than those currently available. As you can see, the American Auction is already built. The storefronts will be available late February, but we have much more work to do to get it where we want it to be. i Zoom Zoom is one way for us to keep eating while we continue development, and at the same time offer a unique investment opportunity for those who want to increase their online visibility and own a piece of internet 'real estate'. We think this is a fantastic idea, a kind of online indexing of the web with a fun twist. We've already established relationships with some great name brands. The main 'everything' category (which is the home page) is already filling up. New categories will be established daily as new industries get onboard. Now is the time to buy pixels! Help us help you and make a difference in the world! Kindest regards, Richard Fox i Zoom Zoom
