Name:Social Media
Product URL:http://socialmedia.com/
Description:Developers become a member of the network by tracking their application on Appsaholic and adding some embed code to their application. The embed code adds an iFrame that serves paid links on their affiliates' applications. The links go to the highest "AdRanked" advertising developer on their live bidding market. AdRank is determined by multiplying two factors, the offered price per click, and the advertising application's quality score. The quality score is based on a function of the application's clickthrough rate and viral growth within the network. The idea is that higher quality applications should be rewarded with cheaper advertising. This dissuades disliked apps from spamming the service.
