New Blog Ad Network?

I recently ran across an advertising network that is definitely trying a direct sell to bloggers. AdGenta is a relatively new advertising network that specifically targets bloggers. At first glance, it seems like a good fit with the blog world. After further digging though, it appears that “out of the box”, AdGenta is really only targeted to bloggers using Qumana software.

Qumana bills itself as being for “experienced bloggers who want maximum freedom in their blogging life — the freedom to post to multiple blogs and blog platforms, and the freedom to make money from advertising with no restrictions.” A cursory search of the Internet makes me at least want to try out Qumana. I’ve seen both negative and positive posts about it, which to me means it’s worth at least a look.

Straight from the Qumana site, you see the following ad copy about Qumana:

Better Editing Functions and Advertising Options
Qumana combines a state-of-the-art, easy-to-use offline blog editor with the keyword-based advertising available from leading ad networks.

Instant Tagging
Qumana, with its proprietary tagging and keyword tool, allows bloggers to indicate which keywords best describe the content of his or her post.

Multiple Blog Feeds
Using Qumana, bloggers create information-rich content that flows seamlessly into RSS feeds, dramatically extending a post’s reach into new audiences.

To do a simple test of the Qumana application, I am actually posting this message from Qumana. More info about AdGenta will follow.
