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.

Welcome back Tabby.

Methinks that the resurgence of the share price can largely be put down to the fiasco with News International.
No doubt advertisers are now looking elsewhere to peddle their wares. Blinkx ,needless to say , must be seen as a beneficiary of what is goimg on.

i know how google makes its money, but i'm damned if i can say the same about blnx, notwithstanding that i have held a lump of them for quite a while ..... however, it does not seem to be from advertising, except perhaps obliquely

Chess ...I think it is more likely this -

Could be some juicy news?

This thread has gone very quiet! Have you all sold? BLNX not exactly flavour of the month despite some progress and talk of actual revenue!


Video search engine blinkx has announced a partnership with Future Publishing, one of the UK's largest special interest publishers.

Future Publishing's content will now be available and fully searchable on www.blinkx.com.

blinkx will place relevant advertising alongside this premium content leveraging its Ad-Hoc platform and share resulting revenue with Future Publishing.

Staying short for now, more bad news coming from USA, and Europe.

Unemployment up.

But plenty of good news coming from Blinkx, and many shrewd tipsters like it.
Also, don't overlook the takeover possibilities from the likes of Google.
The best approach at the moment is to avoid picking losers.
Sounds easy, doesn't it !

I don't think Google will be able to afford another takeover for a while but you never know. I never pick losers, they are all winners when I buy. It's after I have bought that it all goes downhill! ;o)

Who are these shrewed tipsters Chess

The ones with insider info.
