Long time ago i speculated the ending of auctionads, and yesterday i received an email from them announcing the merge between Auction ads and Shoppingads.
The difference now in shoppingads is that in order to benefit from CPC ads you will need to be select for premium publisher, and even if you are selected you will only get CPC ads from US and CAnada traffic, every other country origin will have CPA ads. If you are a standard publisher then you will have to “make a living” with CPA ads only.
This merge will make you loose all your referrals, and many people like custodio, will loose many many referrals.
But in conclusion, the way things were going with Auctionads, im sure it wont be missed….

At least you can get SOME money out of Shopping Ads, Auction Ads for those with low conversion rates was terrible. You would earn litterealy pennies on the $100, I am going to try readding them to my blog.
i used auctionads and i had lots of impressions and not even a cent. at least i made a few buckp with shoppingads. fortunately for me the majority of traffic comes from us.
