Zohark Ads Launches on Facebook

Sunday, November 4th, 2007

Zohark Ads is an advertising network for Facebook.

Our new ad formats launched today - take a look at this post in the Facebook Developers Forum.

I would like to update you about our progress over at Zohark (http://apps.facebook.com/zohark_ads/) and some more background info about what we do

First of all - we have just launched many new features including over 10 new ad formats (all the standard IAB formats + a couple just for facebook)
For those of you that are already running our ads, please checkout the new ad formats and update your code - early adopters have seen their CTR increase dramatically after switching over.

There is new reporting so that you can break down your stats per application and see whats happening on a per day basis

We are proud to be serving out over 2 million Daily ad impressions after our first week out of beta! - Thank you everyone who is displaying our ads!

So far we have been handing the load without any issues - Our application runs on our Globally Load Balanced server cluster; we have over 60 servers spread between LA, London and Toronto that all act as one large server. That cluster also handles our other projects such as http://www.thundertext.com, http://www.searchgive.com, http://www.freesites.com - combined our network dishes out over 50 million ad impressions per day.

To make Zohark succeed and to offer you the best paying ads, we have integrated technology from our other Ad network called ThunderText (http://www.thundertext.com)
Our technology aggregates advertisements from not only our own pool of advertisers but from our network of partners - combined we have access to over 20,000 advertisers in every vertical in real time.

We are working hard to bring you more innovative features - some things to see from us in the near future are:
- Iframe version of our ads
- Incentivized actions - users can fill out offers/surveys in return for points that are earned and can be used in your app in real-time (We are currently in need of beta testers for this - please email me if interested)
- new and unique ad formats
