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.

BBC news report today,that for the first time,online advertising has surpassed that for television.Google is reported to be the biggest receiver of advertising revenue.
Surely an excellent indicator for Blinkx prospects in this area.
Time for a bit of recognition now for the sp.

blinkx Adds Premium Health Video to Index

The Doctor is in at www.blinkx.com

nice niche stuff, could be lucrative from niche advertising, big money in drugs and health related advertising, especially when its targeted! come on 50p

After settling between 18-20p for the past 2 mnths, you could see her starting to move again yesterday albeit slowly. At present it looks as though it is trying to go north.

Quite right DealerI would like to see it move slowly again todaythat slow 13.58% yesterday was a bit of a bummer.

50p target, short-term.

you don't want much then!

Dealeryour slowly slowly will do for me

30p next stop, looking good and solid with great upward momentum, 30p will guarantee an overshoot, hence am hoping for 50p by Xmas, am hoping btw, nothing guaranteed, but if it smashes through 30p then retests, 29 say, bang we'll have 50p.

Results must be due out soon,though I don't see a date.
They certainly ought to be good this time Touch wood.

I believe around the second week of November

Stacks up, upward momentum towards results then, 30p by then hopefully, if they are doing better than last time(on paper the last results were nothning great). bang on we go, if not, well @30p either your in or your out!

Surprising and pleasant finish to the day I dont think the mms are fooling anyone on this stockbut nice try

It certainly has been a long wait for Blinkx,but I think their time is coming soon.Could be well worth the wait.

25 to 30 should be fairly quick?
