Hello Assetizers,

We’ve received some questions recently due to changes in Twitter Terms of Service, and I thought I’d use this medium to give all users an update.

If you haven’t noticed, Assetize rocks! The awesome payouts are proof. So are the great analytics for publishers and advertisers. And if that wasn’t enough, Twitter just made a big change to their Terms of Service that validates what we already knew: In-stream ads aren’t the answer. In Twitter’s own words:

2. Advertising Around Twitter Content

(b) You may generally advertise around and on applications or sites that display Tweets, but you may not place any advertisements within the Twitter timeline on your Service other than Twitter Ads.

We also agree wholeheartedly with Twitter when they say that, “Third party [in-stream] ad networks are not necessarily looking to preserve the unique user experience Twitter has created.”  As our users know, we stopped in-stream advertisements a few months ago for this very reason: we felt that in-stream ads took away from the uniqueness that Twitter had to offer, and impeded with the conversational nature of the platform.  As a result, we kept ads outside the platform, and next to other content on destination pages.

All in all, we’re happy to report that Assetize was one of the only Twitter Ad/Monetization Networks that was not affected by these changes.  We’ll continue to keep users updated as changes occur, but for now we’re full steam ahead!

Happy Assetizing,
Saif
