Yidsense, the first all-Jewish Pay Per Click advertising platform, connects Jewish bloggers and publishers with businesses that sell products to their audience.

Spring Valley, NY (FrumWire) July 17, 2008 - Jewish news sites and bloggers now have a new way to earn money from their sites. Rather than trying to go after individual advertisers themselves, they can now add Yidsense to their sites for free. Yidsense serves up ads from its pool of advertisers which are relevant to the content of the page, while simultaneously filtering the ads with sensitivity towards religiously-run sites. This is a great boon for advertisers as well, as they only pay when a visitor clicks through to their site.

"We were looking for a way to give niche website owners and blog writers the ability to capitalize on their sites without compromising their values;" says Sruli Goldstein, the founder of Yidsense. "Pay Per Click programs, like Adsense ,do not allow you to truly prevent inappropriate ads from showing up, while the other Jewish ad networks require you to have thousands of unique visitors a day. With Yidsense, we have really combined the best in relevant and appropriate ads with the Pay Per Click model. Site owners can earn 30% or more in commissions."

On the flip side of the coin, Jewish businesses can expect their advertising budgets to be well-spent, as they are paying only for actual clicks from the very audience that they are hoping to reach. "Yid to Yid advertising just makes sense. It's a win-win for everyone,” said Mr. Goldstein.

IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE OU’S BIENNIAL NATIONAL CONVENTION,

OU JOB BOARD TO HOLD TWO-PART JOB FAIR IN BOTH THE U.S. AND ISRAEL FOR THOSE INTERESTED IN MAKING ALIYAH

The decision to make aliyah presents numerous challenges – among them finding a new home or adjusting to a new language – but now the Orthodox Union Job Board is making the entire transition easier by holding its first-ever Job Fair in Israel, in conjunction with the OU’s Biennial National Convention in Jerusalem at Thanksgiving. The two-part Fair, taking place in both the United States and Israel and free for both employers and job seekers, will offer multiple employment opportunities for those interested in making aliyah but who remain hesitant because they have not obtained employment in Israel.  

Given the OU’s priorities, it is no surprise that aliyah will be on the agenda for the Convention. “For the first time, the OU Convention in Israel will also serve as a job forum for those interested in making aliyah,” said Stephen J. Savitsky, OU President. “Aliyah has always been an important objective of the Orthodox Union. By including the Job Fair in its Convention, the OU will support aliyah by assisting possible olim in their job search. The OU is extremely proud of this new initiative.”

Along with the Jewish Agency, Nefesh B’Nefesh, The Merkaz - YJ Impact! Hadassahand others who will help promote the fair and offer their network of contacts as possible employers, the OU Job Board has devised a unique way to introduce job seekers to employment opportunities in Israel. Part one involves “virtually” interviewing job candidates in New York, allowing them to meet and see their prospective employers in Israel via teleconferencing. All of the job opportunities will be for English speakers. The participants will also have the opportunity to meet communities where English-speaking immigrants tend to live, further making their visit to the Job Fair a one stop-shop not only for jobs but for housing opportunities in Israel as well.

Once the OU’s National Convention takes place in Jerusalem, the week of November 23-30, candidates will actually meet their prospective employers in person in part two of the Job Fair. Based on the success of past Job Fairs sponsored by the OU Job Board, these personal meetings are expected to lead to many finalized “matches” between employer and employee. Those who cannot make it to New York for part one of the Fair still have the option of participating in the second part in Israel, with appointments arranged by the Job Fair.

Michael Rosner, Director of the OU Job Board, declared, “We are holding the Job Fair at the same time as the National Convention so that those interested in making aliyah will not only meet prospective employers, but will also be able to enjoy the programming and camaraderie of the Convention in Israel. The Convention offers discounted rates on hotel and transport to reduce the cost to people who are going to meet their prospective new employers and communities in Israel.

Mr. Rosner also stated that part two of the Job Fair will welcome English speakers who have already made aliyah but are still looking for employment or are looking to change careers.
