Leading News Organization ITN Extends Advertising Deal with blinkx Based on Proven Campaign Success




blinkx Selected to Power Advertising across ITN Website and Syndication Partner Sites




SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF. - July 2, 2008 - blinkx, the world's largest and most advanced video search engine, today announced that it has won an extension contract that will augment the scope of its advertising partnership with ITN, one of the world's leading news and multimedia content companies. Under the terms of the new agreement, ITN will use AdHoc, blinkx's patented contextual advertising platform for online TV and video, to serve advertisements on the ITN website and its syndication partner sites, including Bebo.




Through AdHoc, ITN has already been effectively monetizing its premium news content on the blinkx.com network for over six months. During this time, ITN achieved a significantly better return, greater search volume, and higher monetization through blinkx than through other syndication partners.




AdHoc uses blinkx's patented speech-to-text transcription and visual analysis technology to understand video content more thoroughly and effectively than any other service today, and can therefore dynamically place the most pertinent advertising against it. The AdHoc platform offers media companies and advertisers a unique value proposition -- video advertising which combines the emotive power of TV promotion, with the relevance and utility of contextual search advertising.




The confluence of ITN's premium TV content, blinkx's extensive syndication network, and AdHoc's uniquely powerful targeting capabilities was a formula for success. By extending its partnership with blinkx, ITN aims to achieve similar returns by leveraging the AdHoc platform to deliver contextually relevant video advertising on its own website and across its distribution partner sites.




'We're thrilled to be broadening our relationship with ITN,' said Suranga Chandratillake, founder and CEO of blinkx. 'News content is one of the most popular categories of online video and there's clearly a tremendous opportunity for monetization. The success of our partnership with ITN is evidence that the blinkx AdHoc platform is a uniquely powerful solution for online video advertising today.'




'We've been delighted with the results of our partnership with blinkx and are looking forward to implementing the AdHoc technology on our site,' said Nicholas Wheeler, managing director, ITN On. 'blinkx AdHoc has proven that it can achieve significant monetization of our content, effective marketing for advertisers and, most importantly, a useful, non-disruptive experience for our audience.'




As a pioneer in video search technology, blinkx has built a reputation as the most effective way to search new forms of online content such as video. With more than 350 partners and 26 million hours of indexed video and audio content, including favorite TV moments, news clips, short documentaries, music videos, video blogs and more, blinkx uses advanced speech recognition technology to deliver results that are more accurate and reliable than standard metadata-based keyword searches.

http://www.getcheep.com/beta

2p up/2p down ...... just flip-flopping about with smallish volume
i certainly think you can forget the idea that google will have any interest in them, though i suppose there are others

Why will getcheep.com be a biggie?

They're streets behind on this sort of thing and couldn't even get the correctly spelled domain which had already been taken. Anybody typing in the (in)correctly spelled domain by mistake is going to land on a different page belonging to somebody else. That is really dumb.

CynicI dont want anyone after blnx and neither should any investor at this stageother than the priceless advertising that would come with a Google interestSuranger and The Doctor have positioned themselves in a very protective way!not yet in again I see?

unless they drop a lot further or (less likely) break through 68.5 and hold, there is no need to tie up funds

If an investor wants to see dumb HilaryI would suggest go easylol

Cynic....i'm never wrong!

depends how long you want to wait ..... i may well not live that long ..... flight called, so will try to catch up this evening from sunny saudi

Safe flight Cynic....Ha.the only sell registered today was a buy.

Over 4,000 page impressions, 1,200 unique vistors and nearly 27k sales over last weekend, Tabster, mostly referred from a text link at a am competitor. That's not exactly what I'd call dumb.

Please thank Clubman for posting the link.
