Hi everyone,
Sometime today or tomorrow you will start to see some Adsense advertisements appear at the top of your My Zibbet backoffice. We've chosen to only show non-intrusive text ads, that look like this:
Adsense is a product of Google. Adsense is intuitive and should be relevant/targeted to you. We're hoping you'll see ads that are actually useful to you.
Advertising adds another revenue stream to Zibbet. Currently it's a test to see how much revenue it will bring in. This then allows us to estimate potential ad revenue as we continue to grow our seller base.
Please keep in mind that these ads are only seen in your back office. We don't have ads shown on the main Zibbet site, or in a 'Buyers My Zibbet'.
We welcome any questions you may have.
Thanks,
Jonathan.

I can live with that, and am pleased that you are taking steps to make Zibbet financially strong, as I believe that Zibbet's success ultimately will benefit us sellers.

? ReplyPermalink Reply by Jonathan Peacock (Zibbet's CEO) on January 16, 2012 at 7:17pm Possibly controversial - but I think most (if not all), will see it as ultimately benefiting Zibbet (and themselves), just as you do. So it's a win-win in our eyes.

Permalink Reply by strawberryfieldsArtJewelryBeadsn on January 16, 2012 at 8:37pm I've got a question - how are advertisements relevant to services available in Australia or NZ helpful to anyone in the USA? My personal opinion is - I find any advertisements in my face, or in my spaces an intrusion.

Permalink Reply by Rebecca West on January 17, 2012 at 6:01am Great ~ I think anything Zibbet can do to bring in income and help keep seller's fees low is great! Also we as sellers may
see some ads that will truly help us or be something we need but didn't know was there!
It's our choice to click on it or not!

? ReplyPermalink Reply by Jonathan Peacock (Zibbet's CEO) on January 17, 2012 at 1:47pm I doubt it, but we're making good progress with our inquiries being escalated up the ranks. Hopefully we'll be able to get your items submitted soon.
