CPA Talking | CPA Networks Talking, Making Money Online!

TechCrunch is coming to Berlin! Tomorrow we’ll have Mike Butcher and his TechCrunch crowd over for a what everybody expects to be a great and exciting event at the zanox Campus in Berlin. “There is an amazing tech scene in Germany and we want to do our best to showcase this. That’s why we’re partnering with several local entities on the ground to really display the best of the German scene,” Mike writes. The afternoon will hold speakers and startup pitches, the evening will be a great opportunity for international networking. Hightlights are the panel discussion on “German innovation and Entrepreneurialism” as well as  the Startup Pitch Competition, which our zanox CEO Thomas Hessler will join as a member of the judging panel. Hope to see you at our Campus tomorrow and looking forward to great TechCrunch event! And all of you who don’t have a chance to attend, you can follow the live stream here.

Our CEO Thomas Hessler welcoming more than 100 TechCrunch Berlin guests at the zanox Campus.

• Pitching Perfectly Pitch shots are sort of like in between shots as they are longer than chips but they are shorter in comparison to full wings. For this very reason, pitch shots are often played particularly badly. Rather than attacking your pin as you are meant to, many golfers will end up......
• Yard sale finds for today We hit a few yard sales and a flea market this morning. There were a bunch of good deals, but space is getting tight in our house, so we have to really have a purpose for the things we buy or be able to "turn the merchandise" quickly. So here's......

Since we received so much great and lovely feedback on our new “WE ARE… ZANOX!” film, we thought of also sharing the picture we took during our video shoot. So here we have the still of the final scene – you could also make a game out of it and try to spot your favourite zanox employee in less than ten seconds Enjoy!

We are really proud to announce today’s Open Beta launch of our new zanox Application Store, the world’s first application store for the affiliate marketing industry! Starting now, you can explore the zanox Application Store and discover new and powerful tools for your business: As one of our publishers or advertisers, you will be able to discover ready-to-use applications, widgets and software services. As a developer, you can now monetise your innovations and distribute your applications directly to our network of more than one million publishers and over 2,000 international advertisers.

Getting curious? To get a first impression of the zanox Application Store, check out our new video:

Along with the zanox Application Store, we also launched our new single sign-on solution zanox Connect, which enables smooth and easy application integration. This process is similar to what you already know from platforms such as Facebook: Once logged-in, you can easily use an application via just one click.

Since the application offer in our store will grow steadily, we implemented a quality benchmark system: Our established zanox AdRank will show how the applications are performing and a star-ranking system as well as a comment function indicates the level of satisfaction from previous users.

Last but not least, launching our new Application Store also means entering phase two of our $2 Million zanox Application Store Contest! Contestants can now start uploading their applications and take their contributions to the next contest level. Learn more about the contest on our Web Services Blog.

Two of our German pre-testers, the team Karsten Windfelder and Frank Schulze, already published a detailed review on their blog 100partnerprogramme.de. “The zanox Application Store as a market place for developers, affiliates and merchants is simply ingenious – and I really wonder why nobody has come up with this idea before. It shows the network’s fast-growing, future-oriented development, which zanox has been going through, especially in the last two years,” Frank writes, calling the zanox Application Store a “milestone for the affiliate industry”.  You can read the full review here (in German).
