Sad to hear the news that Performancing Partners (the ad network) will soon be closed down, Chris Garrett, the new CEO, announced:

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.

That’s after they also disclosed that the sale of the Metrics to PayPerPost did not push thru and they’re looking at putting the codes open source. The only thing that’s left of the original class of products is the Firefox extension and the blog which looks like it will be on limbo for a while.

I still have some money form the Ad Network program which I couldn’t get because it was sent to my supposedly not-working Paypal account. I guess it’s time to put out the ad banners here and over at PTB.

P.S.
Was wondering if Chris would give away the Performancing Partners codes as open source. I could really use it for a similar but local project.
