Social Spark Affiliate Opps

Written by Pete Prestipino | Oct 21, 2008 5:00:00 AM

IZEA (formerly PayPerPost) announced the release of SocialSpark Affiliate Opportutnities - a marketplace designed exclusively for bloggers.

The program offers performance based marketing programs in which bloggers receive a CPA commission for specific actions such as form leads or online sales. SocialSpark Advertisers provide text links and display ads (IAB display ad units) to bloggers and assign a bounty for each action they want accomplished. Even IZEA realizes however that the most powerful ad unit is the sponsored post (Some things never change!) as it delivers "superior click-throughs and conversions over traditional display ads."

SocialSpark looks like it's taking disclosure and transparency very seriously. The service requires affiliates to post disclosure as a condition of payment (through a machine readable Disclosure Badge seen below). Advertisers are able to select which bloggers can participate in their opportunity by segmenting with SocialSpark tools by age, gender, traffic, category and other criteria based on the needs of the campaign.
