@Div – thanks for the update. I look forward to seeing how you guys develop the program and increase exposure for musicians. Great move on allowing the landing page expansion.

Hey Greg,

I work on Showflake at Advertising.com. Thanks for checking our product out, and for your feedback. A couple of comments:

- You can now link your Showflake ad to any page you want – not just pages on social networks. Just select the “http://” option and type in any Web page you want to send your audience to.
- Great point about targeting by geography. We’re going to be rolling out targeting by state in April.

Thanks again, and let me know if you have any other questions / comments.

These days I’m more committed to small, but I remember when I afforded myself the luxury of thinking big I really did like the idea of an adsense model for bands that could partner with quality gen y/x brands to serve advertising to approved artists websites. An Adbrite for bands, but with a little more class and brand sensitivity.

A service that can deliver revenue to artists would quickly gain traction over another service asking artists to take a punt on them.

Crucial point about landing pages also. And without targeting, it’s hardly going to appeal to guys like us working the business end who have to deliver results.
