Performancing Partners Plummets

 

Just in case you didn’t hear yet, Performancing Partners is Out of Business. I first read about it on Duncan Riley’s blog this morning.

The first thing I did was to go to my account at Performancing to see what it was all about. Here is what Chris Garrett had to say on the Performancing Blog:

I’m sad to tell you that Partners has to close. While I have every faith it could have worked, it wasn’t going to happen fast enough. Without more money invested it wasn’t going to happen at all.

Any ads currently in the system will continue to run until the end of the month at which time the ad code will stop working. Please take your ad code down from your templates then. Remaining ad time will of course be refunded.

This news is surely not going to be popular. All I can say is thank you to all the publishers and advertisers who tried the service and to all the people in the forums who provided feedback and ideas. I am gutted I couldn’t have some time to act on your suggestions.

That couldn’t have been easy for him to write, and I am sure he is disappointed.

 

After reading that, I immediately took the ad code out of my sidebar template with mixed feelings. I don’t know how well it worked for you, but I did get a few inquiries from advertisers through the service. However, I never really got any more than a look. I didn’t make any money from it.

Needless to say, I wish things could have worked out better, and we all made a lot of money. But I guess that just wasn’t in the cards.
