An Interactive Option to Amazon Advertising
I found this alternative advertising option reading OMMA, the Online Marketing Media & Advertising Magazine. If you’re willing to share a little ad benefit for a little interactivity and pulling power, you should take a look at this one.

Audience/Topic: Any blogger who would like an Amazon program with some extra oomph and interactivity.
Content: Motion Mall is a Boston-based company that offers one-stop advertising that any blogger can setup and have running in four simple steps. All you have to do is
-
1. Design your ad.
2. Join the Amazon Associates program.
3. Provide your contact information.
4. Copy and Paste the HTML.
The benefits of Motion Mall are
-
You get to choose the product focus.
The interface is interactive and refreshes throughout the day.
You’re paid directly from Amazon’s Associates program.
What’s the catch? There is a reasonable service fee to cover the costs of the interactive interface and you might find that some readers spend more time interacting with the ads than reading your blog posts.
To check out Motion Mall, click the logo.
This is the most interesting new ad model I’ve seen in the longest while.

Great find Liz thanks,
I’m already an Amazon Associate, I include several ads on my blog targeting specific books and music. Would there be any advantage for me to use Motion Mall?
I was looking at this company yesterday and wonder if anyone has had experience with them?

Hi Big Roy,
I think the interactivity might be fun. You might go test drive an ad to see whether it might get people more interested in clicking and browsing your ads a bit at Motion Mall . . . They could be worth the investment.
Text Links have a good reputation. I have a couple at the bottom of my sidebar. 🙂
That sounds like an interesting twist on Amazon affiliate sales. However, I don’t think the benefit will justify the 15% commission they take.
It could be worth it, if it makes three times the sales that you might get from the Amazon program without the inactivity it offers.
I had to mluffe my laughter so I wouldn't wake up my roommates. I'm so tempted now to make my own batch of message cookies and slip one "bad" one in.
