The start of an API: a basic ad API for affiliates

We've created a new API which allows you to grab service data in various formats (xml, json, PHP Serialized or HTML).

API URL: http://www.seoclerks.com/api/page/serviceads

This idea was partly spawned by affiliates wanting to advertise or display information that was not electronically available to them. Websites such as http://communityclerks.com and http://seoclerkscoupons.com

The best ads are the ones that we aren't trained to ignore already, like banner ads. Of all the various methods we've tried advertising, the ones that convert the best are inline text ads or text ads above the content (on relevant niches). It occurred to us that anyone should have the ability to extract service data based on how you and your website can convert best.

Here is an example found on SocialClerks which pulls relevant data per exchange (in this case, Twitter Followers above the Twitter Follow Exchange):

We have tested these specific type of ads on several sites, they convert:

  • pingfarm.com
  • indexkings.com
  • linkcheckpro.com
  • exposix.com
  • webmasterquery.com
  • socialclerks.com
  • gamersglitch.com
  • youpluslike.com
  • phpinformer.com
  • howtolounge.com
  • whywontmy.com
With the start of our new API, you'll be able to grab the data you need to format any ad you want.
