Reason


AOL Buys Advertising.com For No Clear
Reason
06/24/2004 11:40 AM
AOL announced today that they're buying Advertising.com. What's not entirely clear, however, is why. They claim it's to "provide advertisers with an opportunity to reach more than 140 million Internet users." Of course, advertisers already had that opportunity. Advertising.com works with advertisers to connect them to 1,500 publishers -- but now, in being owned by AOL, they'll be competing with those publishers. If that's the case, Advertising.com is likely to lose a lot of business from publishers, and will really only be useful for advertising on AOL properties. Of course, there were already ways to advertise on AOL, so it's not entirely clear how useful this will be. Still, it has to be slightly better than relyi ng on scamming employees to sell AOL email addresses to spammers as a way of advertising to AOL customers.

Avid Technology, the leading player in video and film editing tools, has revealed it is to buy rival video-editing maker Pinnacle Systems in a deal reported to be worth $462 million. The move is the latest in a series of buy-outs in the video market, as Avid and Apple Computer battle for the professional video high ground.

The purchase by Avid prices Pinnacle at a premium of 30 per cent above its market value, and is based on a stock and cash deal. Under the terms of the agreement, Avid says it will issue 0.0869 shares of Avid and $1 in cash for each Pinnacle share. Avid says it expects to issue around 6.2 million shares – around 15 per cent of its common stock.

Contextual Advertising And Search
Advertising Are Different


Contextual Advertising And Search
Advertising Are Different
08/03/2004 12:32 PM
Apparently, marketers are just now figuring out that browsing and searching are two different modes of web surfing, and people will t reat ads differently in each situation. Some pointed this out quit e a while ago, but thanks to Google and Overture promoting contextually matched ads as somehow being just like search ads, many advertisers expected similar results -- which they're not getting at all. So, now, some advertisers seem to be fighting back and are telling Google and Overture that it's about time they separated out the two forms of advertising and let the advertisers work each campaign separately. It appears that Overture has started to move in this direction, but Google continues to insist that there's no reason to treat the ads differently.
