Aug 3, 2010 by William Godin

Starting this week, we’re adding a new feature to our growing list of affiliate promotional tools. In the press pack for each update take a look at our “collage” of the photo set. This is specifically designed to save bloggers time. We’ve put together the best pictures of each photo set in a format that’s well suited for most blog templates. Check it out in the current and future press packs, available in our Advertising Toolbox.

New, Completely Revamped Advertising Toolbox

Jun 26, 2010 by William Godin

You asked for it, you got it.

We’re very excited to announce that we have released a new version of our Advertising Toolbox. We are calling this one the “You asked for it, you got it” version because it is based on your best suggestions for new or enhanced features. Here is what’s new in the Advertising Toolbox starting today and why it’s important to you.

New Easy to Use Interface

A big change you’ll notice right away is the sleek new interface. Based on your suggestions, we’ve redesigned the Toolbox so that you can find the tools you need fast. We’ve recategorized all our tools in a more semantic way, introduced numerous filters to help you drill-down, and made everything generally more accessible.

Of course if you’re in a leisurely mood and just want to browse the scenes page by page, you are more than welcome to do that too. Or if it’s a specific model you’re after, the search box is there for your convenience. The new interface is designed to let you work the way you want to work.

One-Click convenience is now the standard for the Toolbox. Need a press pack or preview video clip of a particular model or scene? One click on the download icon and the zip file is ready to deposit on your hard drive.

Need the link for a hosted video gallery, a hosted photo gallery or the preview page on our tour?  One click on the clipboard icon and you can copy the link to your clipboard. Maybe you’re not sure if it’s just the right gallery for you and you want to look it over before you bother with downloading it. One click the preview icon and voila, the gallery in question appears in your browser.

Hosted FLVs and Embeddable Videos

For quite some time now our popular preview clips have been available as hosted video galleries. While our galleries are convenient for most of our affiliates, some of you required a bit more flexibility and asked us to provide source files. You can now download these source files in FLV format to display them as you like. Or let us handle the bandwidth and use the handy javascript embed code to bring our clips straight to your web pages.

Export Content to Multiple Formats

Power users can now get most of our tools in bulk, by exporting them to quick and easy formats. Supported formats include plain text, CSV and XML. We’ll be refining this functionality based on your comments, so don’t be shy and use that “Contact us” link on the top right of the Toolbox.

Visit the Advertising Toolbox

As usual, you can get to our Toolbox by clicking the Login button at the top right of this website, or by visiting http://toolbox.bonobocash.com. And if you’re not already signed up to access the Toolbox, go ahead and open a new account – it’s fast and easy.

Please take a moment to look through these great new tools. We hope they will help to make your work as an affiliate easy and even fun. As always, if you have any questions, comments, suggestions or concerns, you can contact us directly or visit our support portal for more info.

Thanks for being a Bonobo Cash affiliate and we trust you’ll have a prosperous year.

Squirtz adds hi-resolution pictures to its press packs

Dec 2, 2009 by Kinsey Russel

zak1002The Bonobo Cash website Squirtz celebrated a milestone Monday, November 30th. With our update Monday Squirtz now boasts 400 models. That’s a lot of content.

And to mark this special occasion we had to make sure we had someone special for our Mr. 400. We chose Zac not only for his exciting personality but let’s face it. He is damn hot. With that ripped skater-boy body and an ass that you could bounce quarters off of, Zac is sure to be VERY popular.

And since we think he is so damn pretty to look at, and since the high rez pictures for Videoboys and Jeremy Roddick seem to be very popular with many bloggers, we added some really nice high rez pics of Zac in his press pack. Get it here.

Introducing Dynamic Hosted Video Galleries

Sep 27, 2009 by William Godin

hvgs-blog

It’s been a long time coming, but I’m very excited to announce that our new Dynamic Hosted Video Galleries are now live and available to all affiliates, for every website managed by Bonobo Cash.

And we don’t call them dynamic for nothing. We’ve worked hard to bring a new twist to this tried and true marketing tool. From viral marketing to automatic updates, we’ve got you covered. We like to think that these galleries go well beyond what’s offered out there, by providing multiple sales opportunities.

Viral marketing: your visitors working for you

Every gallery includes a viral marketing widget that enables your visitors to share and embed videos posted to your website, on their website. But here’s the best part. A visitor that embeds a video from one of your galleries will also pass on your affiliate referral code, extending your sales lead like never before.

Embedded newsletter sign-up

This must be one of my favourite features. A few months ago, we released a sales tool that allows you to make a profit out of our weekly customer newsletters. This tool is outlined in great details in a previous post, and on our knowledge base. We’re bringing this tool into the galleries, as an extra way to transform your visitors into sales leads.

Once a customer subscribes to our mailing list, your sales lead will never expire unless that subscriber unsubscribes. This means you can make a buck out of a year-old newsletter subscriber.

Automatic updates

Each new update on any of our sites will have a corresponding hosted video gallery for affiliates to link to or embed. But even the oldest galleries will always include links to the most recent content so older video galleries will never go stale.

No compromises on video quality

Our hosted video galleries use the same high quality video compression that we use in our members area with crystal clear video with high fidelity audio. And as for the action in the video clips,  it’s always hot and heavy and the tease is irresistible.

An evolving sales tool

For the next few months, we’ll be closely monitoring the effectiveness of the galleries. We’ll be gathering advanced usage stats, conversion metrics and we’ll even perform behavioural targeting. So if we spot things we could change to improve the conversion rate of the galleries, we’ll act swiftly and do what’s necessary.

Getting started

Simply pay a visit to our marketing Toolbox to find the Dynamic Hosted Video Galleries, and many other tools. If you’re not already a Bonobo Cash affiliate, you’ll need to sign-up to access the Toolbox. But don’t fret, it’s a fast and simple process.

Thanks for your support. I hope you enjoy this new tool.

Unveiling the all-mighty newsletter sales tool

Aug 22, 2009 by William Godin

Yup. What others consider to be a dreadful straight-out-of-hell traffic leak, we release as a feature.

newsletter

Taken, this fear of The Newsletter is easily justified when you look at the precedents set by some companies, but taking it from a upsetting leak to a valuable sales tool wasn’t that hard. In fact, we are very surprised that no other affiliate programs have offered this so far.

So here we are, very excited to announce this great addition to our collection of marketing tools.

For those of you who wish to dig in, we’ve put up a great deal of information about this tool on our knowledge base. And for the super-busy type, here’s what you need to know:

  • You have nothing to do to profit from our newsletters. Nada. Starting today, any affiliate-referred visitor who subscribes to our mailing list is automatically tracked by the system.
  • Once a customer subscribes to our mailing list, your sales lead will never expire unless that subscriber unsubscribes.
  • This tool is available on all our websites (jeremyroddick.com, videoboys.com and squirtz.com)
  • We send our subscribers bi-weekly newsletters filled with recent updates, new website features, free goodies, promotions and articles.

Thanks as always for your continued support and we hope you enjoy the new feature!
