AdBumb Closes
Pace Media Group has been acquired by ICON advertising solutions, an ad network.
From the email release:
“What’s the news? Namely, that ICON Advertising Solutionsa specialized media representation company with access to nearly 1.3 billion monthly impressionswill be purchasing PaceMG. As a result of this acquisition, the New Media Report and the New Media Spotlight you have come to love will be merged with new content to form an original interactive advertising publication called ADOTAS. It is with deep melancholy that we report we will no longer be publishing ADBUMb.”
Instead everything will be consolidated into a new newsletter called ADOTAS.
One of the areas that my thirst for knowledge is near unabated for is affiliate marketing. So the news is a shame. But it also gave me an idea to replace the reading with something else. And so I am turning to you to expand my reading list.
I also read affiliate tip and affiliate cluetrain when it posts, but they are so so. Other very good direct response advertising blogs (which incorporate more than affiliates) are Jay Weintraub, John DeMayo and Greg Yardley.
Are there any great blogs that I should be reading about direct response online advertising or affiliate marketing? Leave a comment.

Lately I’ve been enjoying SearchQuant

but it’s hard to beat Jay & John.
OK,
I’m bias, but revenews. http://www.revenews.com
