Hello Assetizers,
Lots of new and exciting things brewing here at Assetize. You probably saw our last note on the bookmarklet, which you can pick up from your My Accounts -> Bookmarklet page. What else is new?
BRAND AND MONETIZE WEB LINKS
Assetize now also helps brand and monetize external links from your websites and blogs! Using this feature, all external links form your site will show the web toolbar (with your site’s branding) above destination pages. Get started here, or see an example here.
You can customize the bar to match the look & feel of your site, and brand it with your logo. During beta, the self-branded toolbar helped increase user retention and pageviews from external links by 25%-40%!
Don’t want to monetize your links? That’s ok. You can remove the ‘Ad’ widget from the Customize page, and still use your self-branded bar above destination pages to retain users. We’ve seen the stats – it works!
INSTALLATION
Implementing this functionality on your website or blog is as easy as Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V (pronounced: Copy and Paste. Who knew ‘paste’ was spelled with a ‘V’?).
- Visit http://assetize.com and click on Get Your Bar
- Select ‘Website or Blog’ in Step 1, and go through the registration process
- During Step 3, you’ll be able to sign in or register
- Copy and paste the snippet of code from Step 4 into your website or blog’s header. Sample snippet:

Why only external links? You probably already monetize your website or blog with AdSense or a similar network. We wanted to help you monetize a new asset from your site: links.
