I’ve been using a Firefox plugin for a little while called Scribefire. It sits inside of your Firefox browser and when you are visiting a page that you feel is blog worthy, rather than starting up another application, downloading the files, uploading the files and logging into all other blog admin panels necessary to make the change, Scribefire does all of this for you!

I’ve been using it for a while and it wasn’t until I heard Patrick Gavin from TLA was behind it did I really get interested. Patrick has a great mind for business and because of this, I have an even stronger feeling that his new pet “Scribefire with QuickAds” is going to be a huge success.

The past year or so, about the time the 125 x 125 banner space jumped into the market as the hot new banner ad for blogs, I quickly noticed there was something missing out there that involved the banner ads and the bloggers. We have our PPC networks (Adsense, Yahoo, Adbrite), In-Content PPC networks (LinkWords, Kontera, Intellitxt), Text Link Ad Networks (LinkWorth, Text-Link-Ads, LinkExperts), Paid Blog Reviews (LinkPost, Reviewme, and Pay Per Post) and so on, but none of these new networks really tailored to the banner ad industry. I felt all of these competing services should be truncated to a simple process for the blogger so they can get the best bang for their buck with the least amount of work involved. In other words, let the networks work for YOU, the blogger. It would appear, Mr. Gavin and his crew have come up with this exact solution. I’m quite sure them boys have quite a vision on where they plan to take this thing. I’m also excited to try it out and see if it can monetize a couple blogs I author.

Speaking of their new system, it’s called QuickAds. QuickAds is an add-on to your existing Scribefire plugin. It has an extra button on the far left that shows as a $ sign. Go through and setup your blogs, then once they’re setup, you start adding ‘ad units’ to the part of the page you want them to appear. Now I haven’t personally reached that point yet, I’m waiting for a beta login from Mr. Gavin.

The great part of this from a bloggers stance is you don’t have to dig around and find the best ad network that makes you the most money. Scribefire has a unique scientific calculator that sits in Patrick’s office where he can do shorthand on the calculator to determine which ads will pay the highest per impression or click. In short, you sign up, plug in the ad units you want, save the look, and then Scribefire and P.Gavin’s scientific calculator does all the rest.

Honestly, I think it’s the best ad product to come out since LinkWorth released our array of unique linking products. If you are not using Scribefire yet, go signup and if they ask how you found them, tell them that “Doug Heil” sent you.
