Posted on July 8th, 2008I just got my beta invite to Scirbe Fire Quick Ads.
So far the interface is pretty interesting.
When I login into Scribe Fire is see a new tab:

Then you have to go through a 3 step process.
Step 1: Add Your Blog

Step 2: Manage your blog

Step 3: Insert Ad with a drop and grad function.

Damn You Yahoo Panama
Posted on March 9th, 2007
Don’t worry I am still alive. I have just been slammed at work. Ok time to rant!Yahoo Panama you piss me off! I am not able to set a time of day schedule for my ads with you. That sucks big donkey balls. I do not want to advertise at 2 am in the damn morning with a limited budget. When I login every morning my account has hit it’s daily spending limit. I want to advertise mid day.
Here is Yahoo’s response:
There is not a way to set up your account so that your ads are displayed online during a certain period of time throughout the day. If you want to keep the ads online only at certain times, you can place the account online and offline manually by clicking on the Administration tab and then on ‘Edit’ under Account General Information.
You are able to set up the amount of days that you want to have a Campaign online for. You can do this by clicking on the Campaigns tab, then directly on the Campaign name. If you click on Campaign Settings, you will find the option for Campaign Budget and Schedule.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if we can be of any further assistance.
Damn you! I truly hope you integrate this feature in the future. For now I will spend most of my money with Google Adwords.

I searched for “Ontario Hotels“.
The number 8 result is….

Notice in red Fad.doubleclick.net. Who the hell is doubleclick.net? Well looks like Yahoo partnered up with them back in the day for their Panama Search Marketing Platform. How convenient don’t you think?
I am not sure if I am way off base and have no idea what I am talking about, but what the hell is this then? Is it information tracking Paid Inclusion records?
What do you all think?
