I made a mistake in the url on my previous post. Hi, There is a new pan-african african ad network. This one is new but very active. Available in French and English speaking countries, AfricaGains propose almost any type of web advertising formats. They also propose (african) social marketing, sms and email broadcast, customer surveys and contests. For some customers, they also propose some high quality web design services. The website is AfricaGains.com.

Thanks Hash, for the very thorough interview, as Joshua said it is always a pleasure to dialog with you.

@Perrin

Thanks, we will look forward to the conversation.

@Imnakoya

Very kind words my fellow blogger. I appreciate that. Though it is a daily challenge balancing so many roles, I would not trade the experiences of participating in Africa’s renaissance for anything.

@Dr Ian

Very thoughtful suggestion. Thanks!

Interesting point, though I would make the comment that we occupy different ends of the spectrum than google ads. They are going after a market that does not mind whether their ads appear on a computer site or an adult dating site-so long as the keywords are relevant…

@Fimbo

Thanks for the kudos. Nice point too, it sort of reminds me of the analogy of that one guy who looked at a heap of refuse and tought, “thats trash” while another person came along and said looked at it and said to himself, “if I can get it up that is opportunity”. I say that because as you have indicated the African publisher space is certainly small compared to the others, but we believe that over time it will surely grow.

Kudos pamoja
though, 2000 page impressions per day seems rather commercial for the African marketplace.

Reaching more than an estimated 80% of Internet users, the Google network is your safest bet for getting those big search engine results. South Africa

It would be interesting if they are willing to act as a “reseller” for the larger ad agencies based in US/Europe who have publishers they are supporting for US/EU traffic but are unable to monetise their African traffic due to a lack of a local sales force.

It’s good news to see an initiative targeting advertising in Africa. It comes to me as a surprise though that it took this long. Internet usage promises to increase on the African continent as bandwidth becomes cheaper. I do expect to learn of more initiatives coming from Africans. Well done Pamoja.

On the mobile perspective, this is really key. Internet usage will grow fastest through the mobile phone and there’s a lot of potential here both for application developers (we haven’t seen much from Africans yet) and ad networks that will allow for monetization of some of these.
