Demand Side Ad Exchanges
The business world is dynamic and ever changing, and this is certainly true in the online advertising sector. New methods for buying and selling are emerging rapidly so that agencies can realize greater sales and profits. Traditionally, advertising agencies and networks work together to bring buyers and sellers together. But, in order to curtail a drop in rates, agencies are boldly moving to capture more of the display market dollar.
The economic difficulties of these agencies are well documented. As the networks have captured more of their profits and they have seen their margins drop by as much as ten percent, they are becoming more active in the buying process to offset this trend. Ad agencies have entered into the demand side with…
Behavioral Data and Advertisement

The general impression in the advertisement market and general blogosphere regarding behavioral data and its effect on reaching customer is that it is the impressions themselves and not the raw, factual data is the most important.

The Internet has caused a major upheaval in the way that the consumers, media outlets, and people everywhere communicate. And according to Andrew Lack, the former president of NBC News, it’s going to keep changing – and for the better.
Today is the era of Google, of YouTube, of Facebook and of Twitter; an age in which all the consumer dictates a vast majority of the content, rather than being spoon-fed stories, articles and…
Is Advertising Important to YouTube?

YouTube draws over 100 million viewers each month with hundreds of thousands of videos that span the gamut of topics, from cat’s flushing toilets to ninjas giving dating advice and more. YouTube is home to advertising campaigns by major brand players, and homemade movies shot in backyards with shaky digital cameras. YouTube is the home of choices, and as such is leading to choices by parent company Google. Does YouTube need advertisers?
If the goal of online advertising is eyeballs, the YouTube fits the bill. Sidebar ads appear next to the thousands of videos streamed daily, and the video site is close to breaking even, even as the internet audience becomes more jaded to banners, ads, and other methods to attract attention online. It just becomes…
