AdButler.de is an old and established, but only medium size affiliate network from that serves the German speaking countries only. AdButler has no presence outside of Germany. Their website is only available in German language, no other language version is available, which means that they are not interested in foreign publishers or advertisers who don't speak the language and target the German speaking regions. AdButler provides via CSV2Ad.de a free desktop based tool for publishers for download to create customized creatives for their own websites that are based on product data feeds, which are provided by numerous of the AdButler advertisers. Technical skills and the understanding of product data feeds is not a requirement for the publisher to be able to use the tool. This is actually pretty remarkable. | |
