display ads - Internet Marketing News and Blogs

MySpace has unveiled ‘MyAds’ to the world, an advertising platform aimed at small businesses with small budgets. Display ads can be bought on a cost-per-click basis.

The company wants to increase revenues during the economic downturn / correction / recession, but is this the magic bullet?

As I see it, there are five problems areas for MySpace to overcome (aside from the minor complaints that the site requires the latest version of Flash to work, and doesn’t work in Google Chrome).

Yahoo! has completed its acquisition of online ad exchange Right Media; giving it a boost in its battle with Google and others in the internet ad space.

The deal, first announced in April, sees the web giant picking up an ad sales platform that it claims is used by more than 20,000 buyers and sellers a day.

New research from the Online Publisher’s Association claims that visitors to its member's branded content sites are more sought-after consumers than those who use portal sites, such as Yahoo.

The research, carried out by DJG Marketing using data from Nielson/Net Ratings and MRI indicates that visitors to the OPA sites bought more frequently and spent more money across several major categories including, entertainment, financial services, travel and automotive.
