Posted by Daniel Neubauer in Application Store, Showcases, November 16th, 2009

To support you publishers during X-Mas business we nominated Get AdMedia as Application of the week!

Application to get AdMedia and Trackingcodes

Get Admedia streamlines one of the basic workflows of all publishers: Preview Admedia and get the Trackingcodes in few simple steps.

  1. After selecting the AdSpace, it lists all programs your’re applied to.

  2. Select textlinks or image banners and size.

  3. Preview the Admedia and grab the Trackingcode

Furthermore Get Admedia ships with built in buttons to share your selected Admedia on twitter and on facebook.  URL shortening included.

One of the key messages of zanox Web Services and zanox Application Store is increase your productivity. Get Admedia implements this idea in a clean & simple way and is an example of what kind of Applications you can do with our open API.

It’s a 3rd Party Software-as-a-Service that implements zanox Connect (Whitepaper) to provide you publishers with the expected Single-Sign-On experience.

Have fun,

App of the week: Andora

Posted by Francesco in Application Store, web services, November 9th, 2009

After already having received a bunch of great feedback on our andora mobile application, we decided to pick this one as our “app of the week” today. It should also be very useful for your Christmas activities.

Andora is an end user application for Google Android phones. It is the first mobile application in the zanox Application Store and helps people to check everywhere and in a few clicks the online price of products  and in addition offers the possibilty to recommend those products to friends using Twitter.

Andora thus enables any publisher to potentially convert their phonebook into happy customers.

This is the way it works: Scan the barcode of a real product with the camera of the phone and check if it is available in the zanox affiliate network. We got more than 60 million product offers in our database, so you have a good chance of finding it ;-) You can either buy the product online or recommend it via Twitter to your friends to receive a commission. It can be also used for price comparison and works best with books and office supplies. This app uses “Barcode Scanner” and “Twidroid” which you can download for free. Curious? Just watch the video and get the application here.

Enjoy!

App of the week: Joomla plug in

Posted by Francesco in Application Store, Web Services Contest, November 2nd, 2009

The ‘App of the week’ blog series continues. This week we are going to give you more insight of the Joomla zanox plug in application.

We decided to talk about this to complete the topic of monetization of Blogs and CMS platforms.

What is Joomla: Joomla is a dynamic portal engine and Content management system. Like zanox they fully embrace themself in the concept of  “opening” their core business in order to let third parties offer services and plugins to their customers.

Last week we received a joomla plugin from an external developer.

joomla-plugin

 

The plugin uses a simple zanox product search using a Joomla article’s keywords and displays the result below or above the joomla article. The products are shown in a “carousel” widget using the JavaScript library “glow”.

To install it is really easy! You simply have to download the source code and install it into your Joomla CMS, insert your connectID (you will receive this automatically via email by zanox) and choose your sales region. The Plug in will then automatically display ads relevant to each article you write.

If instead of the full plugin you simply want to use simply Joomla JCollection component than you can use instead this application provided by the same developer.

Hope you enjoy our ‘App of the week’ series!

The flows of application continues. Two new applications in the store are just launched:

1) Joomla related products content plugin

2) JCollection related products plugin

The plugin uses a simple Zanox product search using a JCollection item’s title and displays the result below the JCollection item. The products are shown in a “carousel” widget using the JavaScript library “glow”.

App of the week: Interactive Product slider

Posted by Francesco in Application Store, October 26th, 2009

One hot app per week: we are happy to introduce you to our new ‘App of the week’ blog series. Starting today, we will present you one app from our Application Store each week and explain what you can do with, how to use it and of course why we think it’s great.
We’ll kick-off with the app Interactive Product slider by Moodmixer.

example screenshotIf you have a blog or  a website with Flash and javascript enabled you should definetly try it out.
The interactive product slider will present a continous flow of products from the zanox system. The product-slider can be pre-configured to produce results matching your website’s topics but also results from a search query in the top of the window. The slider remembers the visitor’s last entered keyword thus offering you basic targeting.

If instead you are an advertiser Moodmixer can offer you dedicated sliders just for you and help you offer them to zanox publishers to boost your sales.

Here is how it works: You can simply in few step configure it, selecting a default search string, a region and additional programs where you want to execute the zanox product search. In few words you configure the widget to be relevant to your site. You place the widget code into your pages and the result is a sliding eye catcher flash widget.

Next week, we gonna tell you more about app SEO Text Create which we think should be extremely helpful to boost you Christmas activities!

Hope you enjoy our ‘App of the week’ series!

SEO text creation via Humangrid

Posted by Francesco in Application Store, Application Store Contest, October 8th, 2009

We are pleased to announce that Humangrid just launched the first HUMAN as a Service application of the new zanox Application Store. Humangrid SEO Text creation allows you to use clickworkers worldwide to create for you unique text and let you specify the recurrent words you might need.

HumangridHere it is the full description of the service:

Your content – created competently and economically. Our service to you Our clickworkers create exclusive reports, descriptions, articles and reviews for you. Per your instructions, our authors will write exactly the texts you need for your website, catalogue or brochures: quickly, competently and economically. From a single text to a large-scale order, humangrid arranges the creation of text according to your wishes. Your benefit A lot of Internet companies need many short texts for their websites, such as product descriptions, glossaries, etc. These texts must be quickly and affordably created, or existing text should be optimized for search engines, rephrased for a particular target group or restructured for different purposes. For such large and very large numbers internal staff resources tend to be quickly exhausted, and the necessary outsourcing could present problems. We offer you a three-tiered process: Creation – Evaluation – Approval What do we need from you? All we need from you is information about the topic, the length and the language of the text – we will handle the rest. We will also be happy to pay attention to the use of specific keywords. Optionally, each text can be checked and corrected by a qualified proof reader, before it is presented to you for your approval.

Start use the clickworkers.
