Any merchant working with Commission Junction no doubt logged in this morning to see this notice on the home page.  More and more networks are launching new and innovative forms of creative lately, with ShareASales videos and LinkShare’s easy links, so CJ had to do something!

From their FAQ:

Flash hosting provides you and your publishers with a new type of link creative – Flash links.  Flash links hosted by Commission Junction:

• Feature short, non-interactive animated banner ads.
• Automatically start, have continuous play and generally last approximately 5-15 seconds.
• Use advertiser-created ShockWave Flash (.swf) files, which are created using Adobe flash software or with other programs capable of writing .swf files.

With the first phase of Flash Hosting, you are initially allotted 15 Flasgh links, each with a 1MB file size limit.

This is pretty exciting.  I’ve heard mumbles lately of CJ being stale in their creative offering, and this definitely gives them another form of link that’s new and exciting for publishers and advertisers.  Personally as a web consumer I HATE auto start flash files, but that’s just me.  Will we be utilizing this?  Man I hope so!
