It has been about 2 months since we did a soft-launch and started our private beta of Shiny Ads’ self-service advertising platform for publishers. In that time, we have had great discussions with our publishers and received a ton of feedback on how to proceed forward.

Today, I’m happy to announce that we are opening up Shiny Ads to all publishers. Our registration form is now automated and requires no approval by us.

In essence, we are in an “Open Beta” as we finish out some of the remaining pieces of large functionality that we want to bring out before we officially launch. Over the next few months, we will continue to expand the functionality to make it easier for publishers to generate revenue and for their advertisers to purchases ads.
