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.

No Gausie you have it wrong once againA Smith and Wesson shoots a cheat that pretends to beat a Royal Flush with Two Pairthe short looks a little dodgy atmwe could always play best of 55... glad to see you have calmed down a little...lol

Quantxast has Blinkx dropped from rank 201 yesterday to 207 today. It is interesting to see that the other web sites are remaining pretty constant in their position and it is just Blinkx that is falling through their ranks.

T --why don't you join the thread on the other side? Digitalis and friends are way ahead when it comes to digging out info and this is a definite advantage as blnx are secretive probably for a good reason. I hope La N has a racetrack for you to enjoy!!

Fully agree Money...
Haystack/The Real Haystack/Zipless.you have been working exceptionally hard this morning on a number of bbsI am afraid you are taking a right kickinglets me just post one from [iii] Interactive Investor:-

If anybody is stupid enough to sell their shares based on a numskull like TRH, then they deserve what they get.

You need only look at the revenue growth over the last three years and the upward trend to know the exponential growth for Blinkx.

Obviously this ignoramus has not done a decent study of Blinkx or he would know that partnerships are on a 50/50 basis and CPMs average $60 giving each side $30 per CPM.

Now, there are 720 partners, so say each of those does only 10,000 accesses per day, which is paltry, then that works out at about $60m advertising revenue to Blinkx per year and Ad Hoc is only the tip of the Blinkx iceberg. That is what is known as "dimensions of scale".

That growth is quite clear if you look at Blinkx six month growth table. So, anybody who takes this idi*t's advice and sells before November when the six months figures are announced deserve what they get.

What a sad man.and it is not even helping Gausies shortlol.laugh a minute

Nice fish reataurant in Cagnes - Charlot 1er

if you insist on being on that section of the horrendously overpriced riviera, hotel le cagnard has a lot going for it

The last time I was there I stayed at a much nicer place - Eden Roc, part of the Hotel Du Cap.

CynicI dont know if that post was directed at me but I agreeso the answer is dont pay the horrendous priceswe only get stung oncealso with our French friends we tend to get offered a French menuas opposed to the Mug menuonce you know how it worksyou will find a vast difference in value we also stay at an Astonand a good value one!

i holiday in provence though from time to time i go to Nice on conference, and that has some excellent fairly priced restaurants, though my fave no longer exists - the original owners sold up about 7 years ago

ref my post 2495 p125 update
price did open a little higher today as i had hoped but didnt follow thro and move up so no rise to sell into as i had hoped (it first moved down) and is now attempting to rally off its low. i shant therefore be shorting today. will look for another opportunity to do so.
regards to all

If you thought that the Quantcast rankings were bad at position 213, Alexa has Blinkx at position 1,291 in total and for just the US at 821. Their rankings are also falling.

The number of sites linking to them is awful at 2,989. YouTube Sites Linking In: 686,159

Youtube is ranked 3 and for just US 4.

Come on Haystack - stop pissing around and short it. No point in spending time on that research otherwise.

he would if he had the money
