The Zoosk Desktop App is SICK

September 2nd, 2009 by Nicholas Abramovic

Recently we launched a new desktop application for Windows, Macs and Linux computers. You can check your Zoosk messages without ever opening up your internet browser… SICK

Our community manager wrote a blog about it recently: http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=115921932882

Outside of the part where she mentions “download here” is her quote “Monday just went from blaaaahhh to YAYYYYY”

If you have not checked out Zoosk — you should.

I Sound Like a 13 Yr Old on Video

August 14th, 2009 by Nicholas Abramovic

Is it just me or does my voice on video make me sound like a 13 year old who hasn’t hit puberty yet?

You check it out and let me know your thoughts.

Either way, thanks again Eric for having me in the video. I’ll try to post a more appropriate follow-up from ASE 2009 over the weekend.

Facebook Doesn’t Let You Target Gays in France

August 14th, 2009 by Nicholas Abramovic

So some legal issues in France has occurred where you can no longer create ads targeted for gays and lesbians through Facebook self-serve. The same goes for straight people, too.

This is interesting because normally you would want a picture of a guy for gay men and a picture of a woman for straight men… Now you can no longer make this distinction.

It will be interesting to see how this affects click-through-rates on dating campaigns in France and whether this will spread to other countries as well.

Zoosk is the Next “Big Thing” for Affiliates

July 27th, 2009 by Nicholas Abramovic

So we are launching (tomorrow) with Azoogle a new Facebook Datecard affiliate offer for US traffic. This is already available with Neverblue but if I’m not mistaken there is a waiting list to jump on this offer.

Affiliates will send users to our Facebook application and fill out the first page of their basic userprofile (datecard) which contains their name, email, gender… all the basic information of your dating profile.

The EPCs here are insane compared to our competitors so contact your affiliate managers for more details about getting on this offer.

I am also running this offer with a few affiliates directly and they have been making bank off of this as well (they are also getting the same payouts as affiliate networks).

Every day affiliates are asking what the next “big thing” is going to be. This is it.

Zoosk is in Love with Neverblue

July 24th, 2009 by Nicholas Abramovic

Zoosk (the largest social online dating site) has been running affiliate traffic with Neverblue for a few weeks now and I have been pretty impressed. They are definitely a great network to run with if you are an advertiser.

After letting Neverblue run our France, Denmark and Sweden Zoosk.com offers and our Facebook Datecard offers… we finally opened up the US for them.  I’ll be constantly refreshing my stats as we start to see traffic come in and more revenue for Zoosk, Neverblue and the awesome publishers running the offer.

July 23rd, 2009 by Nicholas Abramovic

For those of you readers who are Zoosk users — we just launched a mobile version of our site.

This was actually launched about a month ago but I haven’t had that much time to post about it. There are a lot of features that we are still going to be add which will enhance the mobile experience but I wanted to make a post about how proud I am of the Zoosk team for pushing this out.

Delta Airlines Screwed Me Over

July 20th, 2009 by Nicholas Abramovic

So I had a court case in Chicago later today… I showed up about 55 minutes before my flight and because it was already under an hour someone on standby took my seat.

Delta/North West Airlines sucks hardcore.
