Smartname = Activeaudience?

 

[BrianCarr]

We own and operate run SmartName.com, which has the updated code of ActiveAudience, including multivariate template testing, ability to upload custom logos, photos and more than 500 themes and a dozen templates.

We also run SmartNameclassic.com, the former code base that was in existence for years, for folks who were more comfortable with those reports and templates.

All but frames.

Any reason for not supporting frames?

 

[BrianCarr]

It just was never built into any of our systems or those we acquired. And demand was never strong enough for us to implement. Happy to consider it for your account if you want to PM me...

That's ok thanks.. I was just curious as to why not. I share all my domain traffic with many of the top programs. It does just so happen that I use frames to maintain Search Positioning and the methods I use mean the sites get listed more than once in google. (Added Bonus).

Framing does allow for good seo and of course you had the added bonus of your own meta tags and descriptions.

I just dont understand why some programs think its such a bad thing, surely offering every possible solution is the way to go especially when all the top programs with the exception of fabulous offer it as standard.

Not looking to take on any new programs at the moment.

Anyone know what is needed to get ads on the first page with smartname? I am thinking about moving here, but I want to make sure my traffic does not need to go a page deep before seeing ads.

 

[petrosc]

If they have similar functions with ActiveAudience (same company) there is an option to select a one/two page lander - however, there are certain criteria for your domain to be accepted for one page landers, I had no problems with any domains that I tried on one page lander.

 

[RustyK]

Ah yes. Sounds good.

 

[Yaffiliate]

Is there any advantage to going with ActiveAudience over SmartName? It also looks like HitFarm uses very similar landers are they related?

 

[cooleezq1]

[petrosc]
