Who Advertises On WhenU?







Who Advertises On WhenU?

Who Advertises On WhenU? 06/30/2004 01:07 PM

Last week, we wrote about big companies that advertise through spyware, noting that most of them refused to admit it (with Verizon being the big exception). Ben Edelman has decided that it was time to do a more thorough bit of research on who advertises through WhenU and began releasing the findings today. As noted last week, there are plenty of big companies such as Verizon, Priceline and Best Western. The article about the report also notes the surprising news that Major League Baseball (who has been sinking to new lows recently in some of their advertising deals) has actually made the decision that they will no longer sign deals with any company that advertises on WhenU or Claria. It would be interesting to find out if that's actually true. Considering some of the big name advertisers listed as working with WhenU, I'm sure MLB has at least a few of them signed to ad deals as well.

Apple has a new iPod ad up, and from the talk of people on the Mac sites, you'd think it was the third coming of Jobs or something. The Vines score a spot in the ad, which is...cute, but supports the sort of reckless facial hair that's become far too...

I just saw a text ad in this article (it might not be here anymore due to rotation):"Sponsor Spot:Your customers use Google throughout the buying cycle. Advertise on Google and stay with them all the way. Google does 1/3 of all searches, with more than 10 billion B2B searches a year and keyword-targeted ads that reach an in-market audience. Learn more by clicking here or email b2b@google.com."The choice of place (Line56) and copy shows they want to reach out enterprise customers. Seems organic growth can only take them so far, and they eventually decided to start advertising as well (did you ever see an ad for Google before?)Update: Robert tells me Google started advertising its search appliance last month, and he saw ads for Adwords on Clickz about two weeks ago.

Controversial contextual advertiser WhenU was allegidly removed from Google and Yahoo recently for giving search engine spiders one version of a page while giving visitors another. They appear to be back in the SERPs as they were before.

WhenU Still Gaming Google In Other Ways


WhenU Still Gaming Google In Other Ways 05/17/2004 03:04 AM
Last week there was some news concerning Google and Yahoo's decision to ban WhenU's sites after it was determined that they were purposely using "cloaking" methods to get better rankings in their search results. WhenU quickly blamed an outside search engine optimizer. Jeremy Wagstaff points us to an updated story by Ben Edelman showing what looks like even more gaming of search engines by WhenU. It turns out that WhenU (possibly against copyright) has made many copies of 26 news articles favorable to them and placed them across 12 different websites owned by WhenU. This way, when Google is searching it picks up multiple copies with the theory being that these positive articles are more likely to show up in a search than any of the many negative articles about the company's practices.

WhenU Violates Own Privacy Policy


WhenU Violates Own Privacy Policy 05/27/2004 12:09 PM
??Edelman?s research, detailed here, demonstrated that the transmissions back to WhenU?s servers include the web site URL being visited when a WhenU ad was displayed on the user?s system as well as other data. This seemed to contradict the then-current WhenU privacy policy statement that as ?the user surfs the Internet, URLS visited by the user (i.e., the user?s ?clickstream data?) are NOT transmitted to WhenU.com or any third party server.? And it unquestionably contradicts privacy promises WhenU makes in places where there is at least some chance ?customers? will see them before they are inflicted with the company?s software.?

Search Engine Death Penalty: WhenU
Kicked Off Of Yahoo And Google
05/13/2004 10:40 PM
WhenU, the adware/spyware company that already has quite a bit of controversy surrounding it for both (a) sneaking their software onto users' machines and (b) then popping up competitive ads when surfers visit websites has now been removed from both Yahoo and Google searches after it was determined that they were using tricks to boost their rankings in both. WhenU blames an outside search engine optimizer who they hired, but it does raise some issues. Considering the power that sites like Google and Yahoo have over anyone finding your site, how long will it be until we hear about a lawsuit when someone sues a search engine for kicking their site out of search results?
