The Trafficspaces Business Model Explained

February 1, 2009 – 2:27 am The Trafficspaces Business Model Explained

Trafficspaces Pro        Trafficspaces Standard        Trafficspaces Lite        Trafficspaces Ultra-Lite

Over the last 4 – 6 months, we have had several discussions with many of you about Trafficspaces’ business model.

A lot of suggestions were made on how to adapt it to the changing business environment. The consensus was that a completely free service is not sustainable and that charging publishers commissions was not appealing.

I’m pleased to announce that Trafficspaces will be available to all on a 0% commission, fixed Pay-as-you-go basis.Specifically, we will have three four packages – Pro, Standard , Lite and Ultra-Lite – which starts from an extremely low $9.99 per month.

The packages will offer pretty much all the great distinctive features of Trafficspaces e.g. self-service advertisers, direct-sales interface, integration with PayPal & Google Checkout, white-label (brandable) look & feel etc.

  1. The Ultra-Lite package will be targeted at small – medium sized publishers that generate between 50,000 – 150,000 ad impressions a month.
  2. The Lite package will be targeted at small – medium sized publishers that generate between 150,000 – 750,000 ad impressions a month.
  3. The Standard package will be targeted at mid – large publishers that generate between 750,000 – 4,000,000 ad impressions a month.
  4. The Pro package will be targeted at publishers that generate over 4,000,000 ad impressions a month.

Click here for a guide to choosing the right package.We think this is the right business model because

  1. It helps you reduce the cost of using ad networks,
  2. Gives you the opportunity to make more commission-free money through your own self-service interface.

Let’s know what you think in the comments.

    Thanks Joe.

    Everyone we've spoken to seems to like the business model.

    A lot of publishers are being hit by the drop in ad spend and it makes sense for them to use systems like Trafficspaces to reduce their costs and reach more advertisers.

    Thanks again for the comment.
