Startup Index for October/2008 just published!

Yes, that's Others Online -- at http://www.othersonline.com! ;-)

And I can assure you that Web sites are definitely looking at remnant inventory optimization. We're making them more money, and unfortunately we're only working on big deals right now -- as in sites with >1M uniques/month.

Have you thought of graphing the positions over time? It would be great to see which companies are improving their rankings over the last 3-6 months.

If you post the links for old rankings I could give it a try.

It's something we want to do. But since we are using a new way to track startups we only have this month and previous month so far. Let's wait until we have a few more months to do that.

If widgetbucks is so good, why seattle20 is using google?

Widgetbuck is paying less then google

I wanted to point out that the widgetbucks ranking is only our website for our ad platform. Comscore shows us being a top 30 ad network. In other words, Marcelo's ranking doesn't track the 10's of thousands of sites that have installed the WidgetBucks ad unit.

In regards, to BullS, not every site monetizes at the same rate and our publishers find us as a complimentary source of revenue compared to other alternatives out there.

Clearly, the newer ad programs will tend to have the incetive to pay more (market share acquisition), but not the means. Older, more established programs like Google's will have the means but not the incentive. The trick is to find a newer service that has the means and the incentive. Too bad that won't likely happen, especially with restricted cap avaliability.

widgetbucks is #11 not #1...?
