Adknowledge currently partners with more than 2,000 publishers and developers. In the past two years, the company has made four acquisitions in the social media space. Cubics, an Adknowledge company, delivers more than 700 million banner impressions daily to consumers using Facebook, MySpace, and other social networking sites. Super Rewards, another Adknowledge company, is the leading virtual currency platform. Together, they deliver over 10% of total daily page impressions on Facebook. By adding the ad network business of SocialMedia.com, Adknowledge is providing publishers with increased monetization opportunities.
"We are excited to welcome SocialMedia's publishers to our network. We are committed to providing them with highly competitive payouts and industry-leading, ad content management tools," said Dwayne Lafleur, General Manager of Social Advertising at Adknowledge.
"As the only major social ad network that does not build applications that compete with developers, we can assure developers that we only have their best interests at heart."
Effective November 18, publishers will be able to access a new Cubics account from Adknowledge and can elect to replace their existing ad code. Publishers will also be able to source administrative reports and stats.
SocialMedia.com and Adknowledge will continue to work closely together in the future. Adknowledge will continue to provide publishers with industry-leading payouts and will be running branded ads that SocialMedia.com will be selling.
The transition of SocialMedia.com's ad network to Adknowledge will allow SocialMedia to focus solely on its core business of developing the first social advertising platform. SocialMedia.com is focused on powering the next generation of social ads across the web through this platform. SocialMedia.com has been a pioneer in social advertising since 2007, building a Facebook ad platform that has allowed app developers to manage, market, and monetize their inventory. Moving forward, the company is going to bring this level of holistic publisher service beyond Facebook app developers, allowing web publishers to socially enable their inventory across the web.
