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.

108p being broken, a new surge is on

110p gone with flying colours

Now selling again

Maybe it is coincidence, but YouTube has announced that they will audit views of videos to avoid fraud. They want to be sure that their advertisers are getting real views and not generated by various software tools. This could start a shakeout of a few stocks related to online advertising.

any 3p surge expect some sells, does happen all the time

250k BUY @ 109.50p 11:23am
not seeing those trades over here before ( any closing? )

galatica = loser Master RSI.

Born loser and dreg of society.

Only reason hes posting here is because is UPS thread on Advfn is now being avoided like the plague.

I have him squelched, don't use ADVFN, twitter or any other BB. Wondering if I should upgrade to the 'Traders Room', does anyone else have access or use it?

It is interesting that YouTube is announcing advert auditing. There has been huge scope for fraud in this area. Google's results are heavily based on advertising revenue as is the revenue of other .com's. If fraud of a serious nature is found and proved, it will have very serious implications for the business models of many tech companies. A scandal of this nature could be the cause of another tech bubble bursting.

I suspect that there are quite a few ad agencies and customers looking very closely at how this develops.

interesting brokers are not rushing to update their views, presumably waiting for IMS.

Worth a quick read from The NY Times, for those who have nothing better to do!

HARRY tks for that Edelman's response is certainly not repentant.

For those buying long term >>>>>>>>>>

The market will find its real price eventually.

110p gone with flying colours

that is to say, gone in a puff of dust and white flag rather than flying colours! ..... 104.5 middle as I write

as I mentioned this morning, this will remain a very volatile and thus potentially profitable stock to trade for a few more weeks - always provided you get the rhythm right

cynic glad you can still remember the rhythm!

Will the results pick this up? If the suspicion is that the results are based on fraud then there must be worry about the next set and the underlying business model.

Bounce AT 100p and moving up fast

And back down again just as fast!

Hay

do you hate the company by any chance?

or maybe is investors, punters or what you want to call them making any money?

I said it before any 3p movement up and down again some

"clever clog" comes to mind, everything is negative ( old age comes to mind also )
