BuySellAds Announces New Features and 2009 Plan

Online advertising marketplace BuySellAds has announced a variety of new features and enhancements to their service. They have also posted some details on their plan for 2009.

They have updated the site architecture and design. I like the split between advertisers and publishers in the new design. The search has been revamped which they believe is the biggest update in the overall list of revisions. Here I like the sliders which help narrow down the search without making it overly complicated.

They have reduced the amount for wire transfers and are keeping the no minimum for a cashout via Paypal. I like that they take care of the Paypal fees – I’d say about half of the companies I deal with take care of the fees and I think it’s the way to go.

The updated stats interface looks like a cross between Clicky and Google Analytics. For advertisers, each individual blog is listed with the logo or icon of the site. This makes it easy to quickly locate the sites an advertiser wants to verify data on.

You can now use money in your BuySellAds account to buy other ads — keeping the money in the system is a good thing for BSA.

All of the features will be launched this quarter we are told and that they are very close to completion. BuySellAds looks a lot like what Performancing’s ad network could have been. I look forward to testing out the updated platform once it goes live both as an advertiser and as a publisher.
