Been a while, but I wanted to jump back on here and share some updates.
We've taken in loads of feedback and analyzed billions of requests that have gone through our system. We have several new offerings, and hundreds of updates.
Our API:
We've got one of the most mature product api's out there now. We have our product api which has evolved to include facet data, dozens of sorting options, and just about any type of filtering you can imagine. If you are even a novice programmer you should be able to put something together. Beyond that, we offer a coupon api, trends, brands, merchants, and commissions.
The trend endpoint allows you to mine our data in realtime and answer various questions. Which products are hot right now, which products are selling in June historically, or what are people in Florida buying right now for example.
Beyond the api, we've completely revamped our ads. If you ran them before, these blow our old stuff away. To start, we have spent several months writing algorithm's that analyze page content in realtime to display contextually relevant products. Our Performance Ads now break with tradition and auto scale/resize. If you have a 600X1200 space on your site, set the ad to that size, or allow it to auto scale to fit the container that surrounds it. It allows our ads to look and feel like actual content instead of just another banner. They also automatically grab the css for the area of your site they are placed, so no need to worry about styling the ads to blend in.
We have also launched a new product called ProsperLinks. Again, this analyzes your page content, but in this case it finds product references that are relevant to the topic of the page and links those to our vast product catalog.
Of course we still have our referral program, so if you don't have anything product related, but know someone that does, send them our way and earn some extra cash for doing nothing.
