PostedbyChris BenjamininInternet, MarketingonMar 25th, 2009 | 0 comments
If you’re a publisher using images in your site or blog, and you’re willing to sacrifice a little real estate inside your images, you could be poised to make a nice little chunk of change from Pixazza.
The site, which launches today and hopes to be the AdSense for images, uses crowdsourcing to match products in photos on participating sites with similar products available for purchase, and essentially turns bloggers and content creators into affiliate marketers who can cash in on Pixazza’s merchant network.
Publishers just need to create an account, login to the site, and embed the JavaScript code in the header section of their website. Then, by default, images — even from previously published content — are added to Pixazza’s shoppers’ queue, and once each image has been analyzed, a mouse over call to action will appear over each image.
Since products within photos — namely fashion-related items to begin with — are matched by real people to similar products available for purchase through Pixazza’s merchant network, site visitors can mouse over images to click to buy items they like, and you, the site publisher, get a piece of the action.
Merchants in Pixazza’s shopper catalogue include power-packed retail operations like Zappos, Amazon, BlueFly, Pacsun, Torrid, and Rampage. And if you’re looking to earn a little extra dough, you can sign up to be one their human-powered product matching investigators. The money you make from Pixazza, however, directly correlates to transactions that occur as a result of the products you identified, so it’s 100% commission base.
