If done correctly, this could really help to bridge the content engagement to advertising gap that currently exists for graphical ads online. I agree with the concerns on scalability but I think there are solutions out there to address this problem. Simple, yet ingenious.

I want to clarify that the free widgets are available now for all consumers and bloggers to pick up from Kwanzoo.com. Each free widget serves 5 questions on a topic selected from our large database. It's very easy to embed a free quiz widget in a blog post. What we have not decided yet is the ad serving source(s) for the free widgets, and the revenue share with publishers and bloggers around the free widgets. Re: ShawnDrewry, well, we just launched, so no wonder you have n't heard about us yet :) Re: MindFlesh, we are integrating with several ad networks for large publishers. We have also helped smaller publishers customize the final quiz results screen with a call-to-action for an advertiser or sponsor. Would that be similar to what you'd like to do? If yes, we can certainly help you; drop us a note via partner at kwanzoo dot com. Thanks, Mani Jason, Thanks for the writeup.

Kwanzoo's spin is new but likely to face some scalability issues. They mention on their site that "All new content is moderated for writing style, accuracy, choice of language and consistency." - not sure how they can scale this. At ProProfs quiz School (http://www.proprofs.com/quiz-school/ ) we are essentially capturing user data & ratings and using that as the measure of how good a quiz is. ProProfs Quiz School widgets do not carry ads. Quizzes are certainly becoming very popular to increase user engagement. Kwanzoo’s spin is new but likely to face some scalability issues.
