Adzerk 1.2.5 Released
The latest version of Adzerk (the software that runs The Lounge, Ruby Row, and The Branch) was released last night. This release includes lots of small tweaks and a number of larger features:
1) All ad images are now being served from Amazon's CloudFront. CloudFront is a CDN network that uses multiple locations across the globe to ensure that images load as quickly as possible.
2) We revised the code we use to display ads on publishers sites to speed up how quickly the ad displays, this should increase the number of click-throughs as the ad will be visible to the user for a longer period of time.
We also made a number of changes to the internals of the system to enable a new ad type which will be announced in the next couple of months, as well as a number of infrastructure improvements.
