In another of my sites I experimented with trying to attract partner ads from performancing.com. I was never successful in getting anything other than their banner. I also had trouble loging into their partner program. I am not surprised to see them go. The competition from Google adwords/adsense and other established programs is probably a high hurdle to overcome. Performancing has paid the advertisers and publishers but lacks funds to continue.

I’m sad to tell you that Partners has to close. While I have every faith it could have worked, it wasn’t going to happen fast enough. Without more money invested it wasn’t going to happen at all.

Any ads currently in the system will continue to run until the end of the month at which time the ad code will stop working. Please take your ad code down from your templates then. Remaining ad time will of course be refunded.

This news is surely not going to be popular. All I can say is thank you to all the publishers and advertisers who tried the service and to all the people in the forums who provided feedback and ideas. I am gutted I couldn’t have some time to act on your suggestions.
