Just What Is A "NewFront?" And Should Brands Be Interested?

It would have been fun to see cranky interviewer Piers Morgan meeting Mashable Editor Adam Ostrow, or to see if Tom Hanks and a Yahoo! executive have anything in common. (They do.) This was Digital Content NewFronts, a two-week event in New York that wraps next week, and which brings together brands, marketers, distributors, and talent to explore (and sell) digital content and media opportunities. These are much like the TV upfronts, but instead the “networks” included AOL, Google/YouTube, H  [...]

Real Time Bidding: The Sleeper Ad Technology Growth Story

At least half of all targeted ads will be bought using real-time bidding technologies within five years, predicted Neal Mohan, Google's VP of product management at the Mixx Conference in New York. That has been Google's experience with DoubleClick, which has seen its real-time advertising triple in the past year. Particularly hated by privacy advocates, real-time bidding lets advertisers target audiences by individual impressions via auctions. Advertisers get access to consumers based on thei  [...]

For Better or Worse, Demand Media's Plans Tied to Google

The company filed a S-1 disclosure with the Securities and Exchange Commission - the first step in this process. Criticized by some as a content mill, Demand Media's business strategy produces online content for the purpose of attracting keyword advertising. The company's algorithms look at what search words are most popular, and then pays writers to produce content for s  [...]

How Long with Consumers Click on Those iAd Ads?

It has been several days since Apple rolled out its iAd advertising platform and from the first wave of accounts, it is a success. One developer, Jason Ting, famously posted details of his initial iAd earnings for an LED camera light application - he has seen a click-through rate of nearly 12% and earned a total of $1,372.20 in revenue in a single day.  A big reason for the success is, of course, that u  [...]

The Battle of the Ad Formats Gets Underway

The online ad industry is on the prowl for new ad formats that go beyond what display and search have delivered - or not, depending on whose point of view is being voiced. Google, a market-maker for ad formats, appears to be embracing interactive video ads, according to the Wall Street Journal, which reported on Allen & Co.'s annual gathering of media moguls. Such ads, according   [...]

What's New For Marketers in the Apple-Google War? (Not Much)

Apple dropped the equivalent of a nuclear bomb on Google this week with its revision of its developer policies. Now, only "independent" ad-serving companies will be able to serve ads for the iPhone. That rules out AdMob, now owned by Google. The changes also appear to target third-party app usage analytics firms. Flurry, in particular, has been singled out for criticism by Jobs. Such applications are also banned from the iPhone. The Federal Trade Commission has taken an interest and is rumor  [...]

Will the iPad Redefine Online Ad Metrics?
