Adgitize To Close - Our Answer Adgitizers Unite!

"About us:

Adgitize has been delivering internet ads since October 2008. Adgitize is a network of bloggers who show Adgitize Ads as publishers and bloggers that advertise their blogs on the Adgitize Ad Network.

In January 2010 we passed the 10,000 blog mark within our network. We have a unique system of payments to our publishers as we award publishers on 5 key components,Ad Views, Page Views, other blogs our publisher's visit, articles the publishers write on their blogs and additional points for advertising in our network.

Each day we take each publisher's points and convert them into a dollar amount based on revenues received from advertising, total points in the system for that day compared to an individual publisher's points earned for that day.

Adgitize was founded by Ken Brown to provide an alternative advertising platform for bloggers. A social gathering area in our forum where bloggers can share ideas for blogging, advertising, earning revenues and raise blog traffic growth. Adgitize has a unique point system that translates into real dollars for bloggers with blogs of all sizes big or small. Ken has experience in programming as a Senior .Net Programmer. He has programmed for 17 years with the last 6 years programming for the web. Ken is the creator of the successful web site, You Can Learn Series. Ken's advertising experience spans 3 decades working with some of the US largest direct mailers.

Where Did the Name Adgitize Originate?This is a combination word coming from Advertising and the word Agitate.

Agitate means to give motion to or to move with irregular or violent action. To arouse public feeling.

Advertise means to make something known publicly. To announce by notice or broadcast. To arouse a desire for action.

Adgitize then is to arouse our customers to action. To get people to take action by writing in their blog, by visiting other blogs and by clicking on ads.

Mission StatementAdgitize will help bloggers gain traffic, interact with other blogs, grow their blog into a successful business and gain much needed fellowship with the blogosphere. Our goal is to help bloggers get "World Class Advertising on a Blogger's Budget." "

It was a beautiful project, with a lot of benefits for Bloggers and Website owners. But it has come to an end.

Thank you Ken Brown! We wish you all the best.

This is the sad news that has reached us:

"Adgitize To Close

I regret to inform you that we are closing Adgitize. We have enjoyed working with all of you over the last 3 years and we hope that you have enjoyed our services. Adgitize tried to fill a niche market but the costs to run the business were more than the revenues generated. Here is what to expect over the next 30 days.

Beginning on December 27th, 2011, you will not be able to open any new accounts. We will shut down the ability to create or renew any ads. On January 1st, 2012, we will officially stop showing ads and all member publishers will NOT receive revenue for any Adgitize Ads shown. If you had an ad running with us we will refund a prorated portion of your ad price.

Prorated portion of ad price means if you have an ad running and it expires on January 15th, 2012 then we will send you a PayPal payment of 15/31st of the purchase price. If the purchase price was $14 then you will receive $6.77 USD from Adgitize. We expect to make all payments to refund advertisers fees by January 4th, 2012. If you want payment by check then you will have to wait until after the 12th of January before we send those payments out.

We will send PayPal ad refunds to the PayPal address you have on file with us. To verify that your PayPal email address is valid check the Profile section of Adgitize.

Payouts for publishers and affiliates for the month of December will run on the normal schedule and should be complete by January 10th, 2012, except for those requesting checks which won't be processed until January 12th, 2012. There is a processing fee of $5.00 per check if your preferred payment method is by check. All publishers with monies owed them who have given us a valid payment method will be paid from $0.01 USD and up.

If you have chosen the credit service within Adgitize, we will payout those earnings to your PayPal address on file with us.

We expect all services and websites to be taken out of service by January 31st, 2012. If you have not given us a proper payment method to send your earnings by that date then there will be no way to make payment to you and you will forfeit those earnings.

To communicate with us over the next 31 days feel free to use the contact us link, the forum or the blog comment section. We will be monitoring each of those communication methods until the web site is shut down.

What you should do. Make sure you have given us a valid PayPal address or street address to send your money to. Remove all Adgitize Ad Groups from your blogs. (You will stop receiving points and revenues from them after December 31, 2011).

I am sorry this is the decision we had to make and wish you the best in blogging for the new year and beyond."
