boo-box in video launched on November 10th

boo-box in video enables anyone to monetize embedded YouTube videos using partner affiliate programs. It is an easy and fast 4 step process:

  1. Select the embedding code or the URL of the video.embed code
  2. Click on the boo-box icon on Firefox (or bookmarklet for IE, Safari and Opera and everything else)
    boo-box extension
  3. Type a tag and test it
    tagging
  4. Apply or copy into your platform (blog, site, social network profile, e-mail…)

Our solution was developed with 3 things in mind:

  1. Minimize interruption of the video: the recommendations are displayed only if the audience chooses[bb]. The video continues playing while the audience is browsing the recommendations.
  2. Monetize the distribution: the publisher keeps all the money from the affiliate commission/fee.
  3. Make marketing really relevant: the publisher chooses what is going to be displayed.

Platform portability

boo-box links do not require installation in order to function. For that reason boo-box has gone from a blogging application to an ALL HTML format monetization solution, working on e-mails, social networks and all types of HTML reading platform.

boo-box truly monetizes content (as opposed to monetizing sites), it is so because boo-box links “travel” with content carrying the original publisher’s affiliate ID thus generating revenues wherever content is being consumed. If your content is copied and pasted, fed to aggregators or sent through e-mail, so is your boo-box.

  1. Is this still an ongoing project? The site seems kind of dead?
