Simply Hired Offers Paid Job LinksPOSTED January 25, 2007 MOUNTAIN VIEW -- Simply Hired, an Internet job search engine, introduced Job-a-matic (www.simplyhired.com/publishers ), a service that connects the audiences of blogs and Web sites with the job boards, employers and recruiters that are eager to reach them. Job-a-matic offers popular Web properties opportunities to monetize traffic that are both lucrative for them and valuable to their readers. Members of the Job-a-matic publisher network can easily add Simply Hired's paid job listings to their sites, tapping a database of more than five million listings to present their visitors with job options. Publishers can also sell paid listings directly to companies that want to promote jobs to the targeted audiences they deliver. The program is similar to what Indeed, another meta-job search engine, offers to publishers by sharing revenue generated from click throughs and also allows them to sell job postings on their site. In addition, Simply Hired will partner with blogging technology leader Six Apart to offer Job-a-matic to users of TypePad, Six Apart's popular hosted blogging service. TypePad users will be able to add paid job listings to their sites through the TypePad Widget program. Six Apart will actively promote Job-a-matic to this large, diverse blogger community, enabling publishers large and small to derive more revenue from their blogs. Simply Hired will also partner with FeedBurner, Inc. (www.feedburner.com ), the leading provider of media distribution and audience engagement services for blogs and RSS feeds. Through this alliance, FeedBurner will market Job-a-matic to its network of more than 318,000 customers. Publishers will be able to promote the paid job listings they add via the FeedBurner's popular FeedFlare service, which will include a call to action within content feeds to drive readers to explore job listings. "Simply Hired's Job-a-matic enables Web publishers to connect the targeted audiences they've developed with the employers, job boards and recruiters who want to engage with them," said Gautam Godhwani, CEO of Simply Hired. "These talent seekers are very willing to pay for such access -- especially given that they can reach passive candidates. This intense demand for talent is creating whole new ways for Web publishers to monetize, and we're excited to lead the market by providing publishers with these new capabilities." "TypePad bloggers produce some of the best and most popular blogs around, and they deserve to be rewarded for the work they put into their blogs," said Michael Sippey, vice president and TypePad general manager for Six Apart. "Together with Simply Hired, we can now provide our members with an entirely new way to monetize their blogs. Job content is information that blog readers will truly value, so our members can boost both their revenue and the loyalty of their audiences by joining the Job-a-matic publisher network." "We've developed one of the most concentrated collections
of alpha geeks on the planet," said Mike Hendrickson,
vice president and open technology exchange general manager.
"Through Job-a-matic, we can now offer our audience not
only rich technical information, but also a targeted selection
of jobs. With this partnership, we're adding content that is
highly relevant to our users and monetizes well -- a winning
combination." © Copyright SVDaily.com |
