So we’ve been busy the last couple of weeks working on some minor bug fixes, enhancements, new pages, new Ad Code functionality, and our first contest (which is more than halfway over for those not paying attention to the dates). Heres a quick summary of some of the changes that were released in the past couple of hours:

• Custom Color Tool: So we realized that not everyone that uses our site is fluent in HTML and some people were having a difficult time customizing our Ads to match the color scheme of their page. So we decided to roll out a simple color selection tool that will allow you to easily choose the colors that you would like for your ad. You will be able to specify colors for
  the Title, Description Text, Link, Background, Border and the Body (area outside and between your ads). You can update your current campaigns and select colors or when you create a new site the color selection tool will be available. For those of you who like to edit your HTML by hand, this is totally cool as well, and you don’t have to worry about using this tool or changing your existing ads.
• Individual Site Exclusion: We were receiving quite a few emails from users who noticed that certain Ads were appearing on their page that didn’t quite sit well with them. So rather than forcing you to go to adgridwork.com, log into your account, edit your site, and add a domain to the exclusion list, we have bundled this entire process directly into your Ad Code. So now when you see an Ad that you don’t like, simply Right-Click on the Ad, enter your adgridwork Password into the password field, and hit Go! This will automatically add the Advertisement into your exclusion list and you won’t ever see it on your page again!
• New Pages: We added a few new pages to the site over the past week including our Press page and the Top Sites page. While these pages aren’t particularly exciting, the Press page gives you a glimpse of what some of the Blogs and Websites out there are saying about adgridwork and the Top Sites page showcases (in real-time) the Top Sites on our network. We figured its good to gloat about our own site and the top Sites once in a while, right?
• Spread the Cheer - Holiday Competition: For those of you who haven’t logged in in some time, you may have missed the launch of our Holiday Competition. Basically, we are giving all of our users a chance at earning 50 dollars and a top ranking for the whole month of January (your Ad will be served 20% of the time)! All of the information is available on the Competition page including rules and all the prizes. There are still a few days left until we tally the results so get out there and start recruiting!

Well that pretty much sums it up for now. Like always, we are always looking for your feedback and suggestions so Get at Us with your thoughts. And finally, we’d like to thank everyone out there who have helped build the World’s First Free and Targeted Advertising Network. It’s amazing to see all of the sites on the network working together to promote one another. Simply amazing!
