			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Brand-focused mobile ad network experiencing tremendous growth with plans for global scale</p>
<p>SAN FRANCISCO &#8211; Greystripe, a division of ValueClick Inc. (Nasdaq: VCLK), is announcing impressive expansion within the company, strengthening its position as the go-to mobile ad network for brand advertisers in North America and Europe. Since May, the company has doubled its team and opened four new offices in the U.S. while expanding its presence in Europe.<br />
<span id="more-15882"></span><br />
The largest brand-focused mobile ad network has doubled the size of its sales, engineering and operations staff, allowing it to offer innovative new products to its base of thousands of brand advertisers, agencies and mobile publishers.</p>
<p>As part of the expansion of its team, Greystripe has opened new sales offices in Atlanta, Seattle, Minneapolis and Phoenix. They are also announcing nine new executive hires. These new hires are:</p>
<p>Brian Pearlman, senior account executive, from Millennial Media<br />
Ryan Bleich, senior account executive, from AOL<br />
Chris Backschies, regional sales manager, from WeatherBug<br />
Terah Bocchi, senior account executive, from Belo Phoenix<br />
Jeff Margolis, senior account executive, from Adfusion<br />
Bill Kramer, regional sales manager, from quadrantONE<br />
Josh Parker, account executive, from Specific Media<br />
Matt Sexton, regional sales manager, from RadiumOne<br />
Ken Yonan, regional sales manager, from Specific Media</p>
<p>“We’re excited to grow our team and continue expanding in the coming year,” said Kurt Hawks, vice president of operations for Greystripe. “In 2012, we look forward to using this growth to reach advertisers in every significant U.S. market, continue innovation and push the envelope by creating the best in brand advertising for mobile.”</p>
<p>In 2011, Greystripe launched two new mobile ad units: video advertising and its popular Ad Boosters. Both have seen impressive results. Over 55 brands have run mobile video ads, delivering over 200 ad creatives. On average, 50 percent of consumers have watched the entire video ads, with click-through rates between 1 and 3 percent. Ad Boosters are a next generation ad format featuring social media integration, local content and deals. These Boosters make mobile advertising more relevant and valuable to smartphone users and have shown a 300 percent increase in click-through rates compared to similar ads without the Boosters.</p>
<p>After officially launching in Europe in February through a series of partnerships, Greystripe hired Tim Scoffham to head EU mobile growth. Scoffham came to Greystripe from 4th Screen Advertising, where he was the commercial head. The company has now established a direct European presence in the U.K., France, Germany, Spain and Sweden.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>New units go beyond static banners and allow brands to build industry-centric ads that incorporate social media, local content and deals into ad copy</p>
<p>SAN FRANCISCO &#8211; Greystripe, the largest brand-focused mobile ad network and a division of ValueClick Inc. (Nasdaq: VCLK), announced impressive results from its new mobile advertising units known as <strong>Ad Boosters</strong>, launched in October of this year. This next generation mobile ad format features social media integration, as well as local content and deals. They are aimed at making mobile advertising more relevant and valuable to smartphone users.<br />
<span id="more-15758"></span><br />
<strong>Ad Boosters</strong> are placed around a 300&#215;250 full screen smartphone ad making it more engaging and interactive with the use of a branded logo and multiple click options. This improved engagement and interactivity drives higher click-through rates (CTR), as Ad Booster campaigns run to date have shown a 300 percent increase in CTR compared to similar-sized ad units that do not have the Ad Booster functionality.</p>
<p><strong>Ad Boosters</strong> offer industry-focused and social units. Industry-focused ad boosters – a first for mobile ads – offer formats focused on targeted verticals, including: retail, consumer-packaged goods, automotive, travel, technology, consumer electronics, entertainment and health. These customizable boosters allow advertisers to direct users to multiple actions related to advertisers’ needs. Social Boosters allow brands to add buttons to engage users with social connections, including Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Google+.</p>
<p>One of the first campaigns to run was a large consumer electronics brand that specializes in cameras. The campaign ran with two buttons: “Find Nearest Location” and “Watch Video”. The campaign has delivered 1.4 million impressions and saw 4 percent click-through rates – meaning 56,000 users clicked on the ad. Fifty-two percent of users clicked the locator button and 48 percent clicked the video button.</p>
<p>“Consumers’ mass adoption of the mobile web coupled with the rise in social media makes it a no brainer that mobile ads with social components will perform better than traditional formats,” said Kurt Hawks, VP of Operations at Greystripe. “We’re finding, despite a smaller screen than a PC, smartphones are becoming advanced enough to deliver more than a message but a true call-to-action – whether that means to find the nearest store location or participate directly in a location-based daily deal. Mobile ads are growing up and we’re excited to see consumers respond.”</p>
<p>The boosters, which are fully customizable, run in-app as an interstitial unit on iPhone, iPod Touch and Android devices. Buttons include:</p>
<p>Facebook<br />
Twitter<br />
YouTube<br />
Google+<br />
Mobile Website<br />
Daily Deals<br />
Buy<br />
Video<br />
Coupon<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Greystripe reports over 30 major brands now running mobile video ad campaigns on the Greystripe network</p>
<p>SAN FRANCISCO &#8211; Since launching its mobile video ad format earlier this year, Greystripe, the largest brand-focused mobile ad network and a division of ValueClick Inc. (Nasdaq: VCLK), has seen an increasing number of brand advertisers flock to video.<br />
<span id="more-15669"></span><br />
The mobile video ad units were launched in June 2011. Since then, over 30 brands have run campaigns, delivering over 100 ad creatives throughout the Greystripe network on iOS, Android and the mobile web. The demand for mobile video ads has increased significantly in recent months; Greystripe has already seen a 300 percent increase in the number of campaigns booked so far in Q4 of 2011 relative to all of Q3 2011.</p>
<p>Universal Pictures and its agency, Ignited, ran a successful campaign with Greystripe to drive trailer views and promote the theatrical release of the new film The Change-Up. The two-week campaign, targeting men 18-34, generated nearly nine hundred thousand complete trailer views. A video of the ad displayed on an iPhone can be seen here. In addition to entertainment, retail, consumer-packaged goods, insurance and electronics brands have all run mobile video ad campaigns with Greystripe.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are consistently seeing mobile ad dollars flowing to mobile ad digital as users embrace multiple screens &#8212; often using their smartphones and tablets while watching TV,&#8221; said Vikrant Gandhi, senior industry analyst at Frost &amp; Sullivan.</p>
<p>Greystripe is benefiting from the massive shift of broadcast advertising budgets into mobile, driven by the efficiency and effectiveness of reaching the 40 percent of TV watchers who are on their smartphones and tablets at the same time (Nielsen). In addition, advertisers are flocking to Greystripe’s video format because of impressive campaign results. On average, consumers have watched the entire video ad 50 percent of the time, with click-through-rates of between 1 and 3 percent. This is particularly impressive because users have the option to skip Greystripe video ads at any time.</p>
<p>“Mobile video ads will be the major growth driver for brand advertising spend in 2012, as traditional broadcast budgets continue to flow into mobile and online screens,” said Michael Chang, Greystripe general manager. “Greystripe is well positioned to take advantage of this video-fueled growth because of a fantastic ad user experience and our ability to serve more full-screen mobile video ads into premium content than any other mobile ad network – over 1 billion per month.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Senior Account Executives Jeff Zoss and Brenda Sitzman to Lead Latest Expansion</p>
<p>WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif. &#8211; ValueClick Media, a division of ValueClick Inc. (Nasdaq:VCLK), is pleased to announce the opening of two new offices in Minneapolis, Minnesota and Phoenix, Arizona. The Minneapolis office will be led by Jeff Zoss, formerly of MyPoints and CoolSavings; the Phoenix office will be led by Brenda Sitzman, formerly of AZFamily.com.<br />
<span id="more-15551"></span><br />
“We are excited to expand ValueClick’s presence into these important markets in the Midwest and Southwest,” said Greg Seyller, vice president of Midwest sales for ValueClick Media. “There are top tier clients and agencies in these markets, and we are excited to have excellent teams in place in these cities to build partnerships and serve their needs.”</p>
<p>According to eMarketer, Minneapolis’ online advertising spend is expected to reach $1 billion and $300 million in mobile marketing by the end of 2011. The region ranked among the top 20 U.S. cities for online marketing spend in 2010. Retail giants such Target and Best Buy are both headquartered in Minneapolis.</p>
<p>Jeff Zoss will be heading up the Minneapolis front. Zoss has been in the digital advertising space for 11 years, first at CoolSavings (Q Interactive) where he served as a sales director, and later at North American Membership Group, where he helped build the interactive sales group and MyPoints.</p>
<p>“Minneapolis is a key market for interactive media with a wealth of retail clients and a strong interactive agency presence,” said Zoss. “I look forward to servicing the Minneapolis marketplace by providing innovative performance advertising solutions to this region.”</p>
<p>Zoss’ experience includes creating, coordinating, managing and selling marketing solutions for clients and agencies in a variety of industries including retail, CPG, travel, education, financial services and media.</p>
<p>ValueClick’s expansion will also take them into the Southwest, settling in Phoenix. eMarketer predicts Phoenix will reach $800 million in online advertising spend and will continue to be ranked among the top 20 U.S. cities for online marketing spend in 2011. Fortune 500 companies in Phoenix include US Airways, Petsmart and University of Phoenix.</p>
<p>The Phoenix location will be led by Brenda Sitzman, a Phoenix native. Prior to her coming on board with ValueClick this year, Sitzman served as a digital account executive with Belo Corp, servicing the Phoenix market through AZfamily.com.</p>
<p>“I am thrilled to be a part of ValueClick Media,” said Sitzman. “Arizona is a continually growing digital market and I am so happy that ValueClick has recognized this and placed a dedicated in-market rep here in Phoenix.”</p>

<p>WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif. &#8211; ValueClick (Nasdaq: VCLK) announced that it has closed its acquisition of Dotomi, the leading provider of data-driven, intelligent display media for major retailers.

</div>
<p>“We are thrilled to formally welcome Dotomi to ValueClick, as their expertise and scale complement our strengths in performance-based display and affiliate marketing,” said James Zarley, chief executive officer of ValueClick. “As illustrated by our recent share repurchase activity and our board’s increased share repurchase authorization, we remain confident in our ability to gain market share as our Media division expands further into branding, mobile and video and capitalizes on cross-selling opportunities with our affiliate marketing advertisers. We are committed to offsetting the shares issued in the Dotomi transaction with continued share repurchase activity.”</p>
<p><strong>Dotomi Acquisition Closed</strong></p>
<p>ValueClick has acquired all of the outstanding equity interests in Dotomi for upfront consideration consisting of: (a) 7.1 million shares of ValueClick common stock; (b) the assumption of 0.5 million fully vested stock options; and (c) $148 million in cash (net of cash acquired). In addition, ValueClick has assumed 0.4 million shares of unvested restricted stock which will vest over a one year period and 0.5 million unvested stock options which will vest over a period ranging from one to three years.</p>
<p>A portion of the acquisition was funded by the Company’s Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as described in the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 24. This credit agreement provides the Company with $200 million of total available credit with a five year term, including a senior secured revolving credit facility of $150 million and a $50 million term loan.</p>
<p>John Giuliani will continue to lead Dotomi and will report directly to ValueClick chief executive officer, James Zarley. Additionally, Mr. Giuliani has joined ValueClick’s board of directors.</p>
<p>Dotomi’s results of operations will be included in ValueClick’s consolidated and Media segment results beginning on August 31, 2011. For the one month period ended September 30, 2011, ValueClick anticipates that Dotomi will contribute approximately $8.5 million in revenue. The acquisition is expected to add approximately $2 million in amortization expense and approximately $1 million in stock-based compensation expense to ValueClick’s third quarter results. Dotomi was not included in the Company’s third quarter 2011 guidance provided on August 2.</p>
<p><strong>Share Repurchase Program Update</strong></p>
<p>Today, ValueClick also provided an update on its share repurchase program. Since August 5, the Company has repurchased 3.4 million shares of its common stock for a total cost of $49.5 million. These repurchases represent over 44 percent of the shares issued upon closing of the Dotomi acquisition. Year to date, ValueClick has repurchased 6.0 million shares of its common stock for a total cost of $87.2 million.</p>
<p>Additionally, the Company announced that its board of directors has increased the share repurchase program authorization by $86 million, bringing the current share repurchase program authorization to $100 million. The Company intends to continue to use its share repurchase program to offset the shares issued in the Dotomi acquisition.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Senior Account Executives David Braswell and Andrew Davis to lead Southern expansion</p>
<p>WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif. &#8211; ValueClick Media, a division of ValueClick Inc. (Nasdaq:VCLK), is pleased to announce the opening of a new office in Atlanta, Georgia, located at 1200 Abernathy Road, near Perimeter Mall. The new office will be led by David Braswell, formerly of BlueLithium and Undertone Networks, and Andrew Davis, formerly of NetWorld Alliance and The New Yorker.<br />

</div>
<p>“Atlanta is a major hub for a myriad of businesses and advertisers in the United States, and is in advantageous proximity to other prime Southern markets,” said Lynn D’Alessandro, vice president of sales for ValueClick Media. “Our new office location represents our dedication and investment to service those clients and agencies locally.”</p>
<p>According to eMarketer, Atlanta’s online advertising spending will reach $1.2 billion in 2011 and the metropolis ranked among the top 20 U.S. cities for online marketing spending in 2009 and 2010. Many Fortune 500 companies, including Delta Airlines, Coca-Cola and UPS are headquartered in Atlanta.</p>
<p>David Braswell has been in the digital space for more than a decade, first at Yellowpages.com where he finished his tenure as vice president of sales &amp; business development, and later at BlueLithium (sold to Yahoo) and Undertone Networks, where he opened and grew the Southeast market for both companies.</p>
<p>“As advertisers and agencies in the Southeast continue to work with a smaller group of ad networks, it’s great to see that ValueClick is a part of that core group,” said Mr. Braswell. “ValueClick’s ability to scale while delivering aggressive back-end metrics across a variety of platforms—display, mobile, video and rich media—enables us to be well-positioned to maximize growth in Atlanta.”</p>
<p>Andrew Davis is a seasoned advertising sales veteran, focusing on the Southeast territory for the last 15 years. During his career, Mr. Davis opened the first dedicated offices for Entertainment Weekly and The New Yorker, was the launch publisher of The Atlantan magazine and most recently held the position of senior vice president of sales and marketing for NetWorld Alliance, a publisher of nine B2B websites.</p>
<p>“Having worked for single titles in the past, I am eager to help my clients reach a multitude of publishers through efficient and targeted online advertising solutions,” said Andrew Davis. “ValueClick has dominated online advertising since 1998. I know we have the scale and solutions to provide real value to the agencies and advertisers of Atlanta.”</p>
<p>For more information, please contact David Braswell at dbraswell@valueclick.com or Andrew Davis at adavis@valueclick.com, or call 770-551-8100.</p>
<p>ValueClick Media is now hiring in Atlanta. For employment opportunities, please contact Marcia Needels, Talent Acquisition Manager, at mneedels@valueclick.com, or call 818-575-4641.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Display Advertising Leaders Combine to Create a Branding and Performance Powerhouse</p>
<p>WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif. &#8211; ValueClick (Nasdaq: VCLK) and Dotomi announced that they have signed a definitive merger agreement whereby Dotomi will become a wholly owned subsidiary of ValueClick. Privately held Dotomi is the leading provider of data-driven, intelligent display media for major retailers.<br />
<span id="more-15183"></span></p>
<div style="display:block;float:right;margin: 5px 5px 5px 5px;">
<script type="text/javascript"> 
  GA_googleFillSlot("Digital_Media_Blog-large_rectangle_runofsite");
</script>
</div>
<p>Dotomi creates and delivers display advertising where the ad creatives and media placements are dynamically adapted in real time at the user and impression level. The Company works directly with clients to integrate anonymous data and then surrounds each client with technology enabled marketing services. Dotomi manages everything from brand strategy and dynamic creative development to message delivery and decisioning. This data-driven, end-to-end approach results in display advertising that improves consumer brand engagement and generates measurable sales lift both online and offline for its clients.</p>
<p>Through its unique set of capabilities, Dotomi has developed strategic, direct relationships with over 100 retail brands, including over forty brands from the Internet Retailer Top 100. Led by Chief Executive Officer John Giuliani, Dotomi is based in Chicago and has 160 employees.</p>
<p>“Dotomi’s end-to-end offering attracts large brands because of its ‘simple sophistication.’ John and his team have built a great business integrating the technical and consultative points in the display value chain,” said Jim Zarley, chief executive officer of ValueClick. “Together with ValueClick’s portfolio of products, we will be in a position to meet the needs of marketers with a single relationship that will create marketing and analytic consistency. Our combined scale and expertise should accelerate their adoption of digital media. Together we believe we will create a new powerhouse in branding and performance-based advertising.”</p>
<p>“We are excited to join ValueClick and contribute our expertise to their enviable portfolio of digital marketing services,” said John Giuliani, chief executive officer of Dotomi. “There is a strong cultural fit between the two companies and a shared idea to make it easier and more reliable for clients to adopt digital marketing that makes a big impact. We look forward to joining forces with ValueClick to bring the scale that marketers are looking for across the consumer purchase funnel.”</p>
<p>Deal Terms</p>
<p>Under the terms of the agreement, ValueClick will acquire all outstanding equity interests in Dotomi for a total up-front consideration of approximately $295 million, consisting of approximately 55 percent in cash and 45 percent in ValueClick common stock. In addition, ValueClick will assume unvested Dotomi restricted stock and options which will vest over a period ranging from one to three years. Dotomi management will receive the majority of their consideration in ValueClick common stock, which will have a twelve-month lock-up, while the outside investor base will receive either cash or a combination of cash and ValueClick common stock. ValueClick anticipates receiving approximately $15 million in working capital from Dotomi at closing.</p>
<p>To fund the cash consideration, ValueClick will utilize a combination of cash from its balance sheet and availability under its existing line of credit.</p>
<p>This transaction has been approved by the board of directors of each respective company and the majority of stockholders of Dotomi. ValueClick anticipates the acquisition will close near the end of August, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.</p>
<p>John Giuliani will continue to lead Dotomi and will report directly to ValueClick Chief Executive Officer James Zarley. Additionally, Mr. Giuliani will be nominated to join ValueClick’s board of directors.</p>
<p>For calendar year 2011, Dotomi expects to generate over $80 million in revenue. ValueClick anticipates that this transaction will be accretive on an adjusted-EBITDA1 multiple basis in 2012.</p>
<p>Jefferies &amp; Company, Inc. acted as exclusive financial advisor to Dotomi on this transaction.</p>

<p>Greystripe’s proprietary advertising platform serves billions of rich media impressions to over 30 million users of touch-driven devices through more than 3,500 application titles and mobile websites across all major mobile platforms. Greystripe has built strong relationships with Fortune 500 advertisers across key brand advertising verticals, including retail, consumer products (CPG), entertainment, technology, and automotive. Greystripe is headquartered in San Francisco and has offices in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Detroit, and Seattle.</p>
<p>“Greystripe accelerates ValueClick’s move ‘up the marketing funnel’ with brand advertisers and gives ValueClick Media immediate scale and expertise in the large and fast-growing mobile ad market,” said Jim Zarley, chief executive officer of ValueClick. “We see great traffic and revenue synergies between ValueClick and Greystripe, and we’re looking forward to working closely with the Greystripe team to take full advantage of the opportunities that this combination offers.”</p>
<p>“All of us at Greystripe are proud of our accomplishments, and joining ValueClick positions us to accelerate our rapid growth in mobile brand advertising,” said Michael Chang, chief executive officer of Greystripe. “We are thrilled to continue to serve our major brand clients as a mobile rich media leader while leveraging ValueClick’s breadth and depth in online marketing.”</p>
<p>Under the terms of the transaction, ValueClick has acquired Greystripe for approximately $70 million in cash. Greystripe’s management team and employee base have been retained by ValueClick, and the business will be run as a wholly-owned subsidiary within ValueClick Media. For the remainder of 2011, Greystripe is expected to contribute to ValueClick’s consolidated results approximately $24-$26 million in revenue and $2-$3 million in adjusted-EBITDA2. ValueClick anticipates that Greystripe will be accretive on an adjusted-EBITDA multiple-basis in 2012. Montgomery &amp; Co. acted as financial advisor to Greystripe.

Year-over-year revenue growth in the Company’s Affiliate Marketing, Media, and Owned &amp; Operated Websites segments was above the previously-issued guidance ranges, while year-over-year revenue growth in the Company’s Technology segment was in-line with the previously issued guidance range. The results of operations of Greystripe are not included in the Company’s first quarter results, but will be included in the Company’s second quarter results beginning on the date of acquisition.</p>
<p>The Company has not yet fully completed certain quarter-end accounting procedures, including but not limited to the completion of its income tax provision. As such, figures released today are preliminary.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Modern Living Media Delivers Access to 8.5 Million Home Enthusiasts</p>
<p>WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif. &#8211; ValueClick, Inc. (Nasdaq:VCLK) announced the introduction of Modern Living Media, a vertical advertising network built to deliver targeted consumer audiences for home and garden marketers and their agencies.</p>
<p>According to comScore, Modern Living Media launches with a potential reach of 8.5 million unique visitors per month. comScore data also suggests the Modern Living Media audience is demographically attractive, with a high index of adults 25 to 54 years old who are homeowners and have a household income greater than $75,000.<br />

</div>
<p>Among the more than 50 home remodeling, decorating and gardening sites included in the Modern Living Media network are National Fix and Flip Network, Ideal Home Garden, Home Interiors Zone, Decorator Secrets, BathroomCentral.com, PaintSplashes.com and DesignHole.com.</p>
<p>Modern Living Media’s “Project-specific Targeting” allows home and garden marketers to associate their brand with highly curated content categories related to a range of popular home improvement projects, including Kitchens, Bathrooms, Gardening &amp; Landscaping, Green Home, Decorating, Do It Yourself and more.</p>
<p>Home and garden advertisers, like those in many vertical categories, are challenged by the fragmentation of their audience across hundreds of media outlets. Modern Living Media aggregates the audience of home enthusiasts online, providing a brand-safe way to reach scalable, yet narrowly defined consumer segments in the days and weeks leading up to the start of their new home improvement projects.</p>
<p>“Even the largest home and garden media properties on television and online reach only a fraction of the audience that is ready to buy,” said Denise Zaraya, vertical strategy director, ValueClick Media. “Modern Living Media delivers a unique solution to marketers who want to associate their brand with a specific type of high-quality content at scale.”</p>
<p>Modern Living Media also offers home and garden marketers a unique way to capitalize on the anticipated upswing in home decorating and remodeling. According to the Leading Indicator of Remodeling Activity (LIRA) published by the Remodeling Futures Program at the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University, homeowner improvement spending is projected to grow 12.4 percent in 2011.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Findings from DoubleVerify’s 1H 2010 Report Drawn from 150+ Billion Impressions from Industry’s Leading Ad Networks, Publishers, Ad Exchanges &amp; DSPs</p>
<p>New York, NY &#8211; DoubleVerify, the pioneer and worldwide leader in online media verification, released findings from its 1H 2010 Trust Index. The report provides insight into compliance and brand safety in online advertising with the intentions of increasing trust and accountability in the market. Highlights from the Trust Index include: identification of the best-in-class networks in the market with regard to non-compliance, benchmarks for advertising delivery and types of non-compliance and an analysis of the overall industry performance. DoubleVerify analyzed hundreds of advertisers, thousands of verified campaigns and more than 150 billion advertising impressions between January and June 2010 to produce the bi-annual report, which can be downloaded at: http://www.doubleverify.com/trust-index-1h-2010/<br />
<span id="more-13363"></span></p>
<div style="display:block;float:right;margin: 5px 5px 5px 5px;">
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
  GA_googleFillSlot("Digital_Media_Blog-large_rectangle_runofsite");
// --></script>
</div>
<p>To identify the top performers in the industry, DoubleVerify analyzed networks based on benchmarks of non-compliance, including: instances of ads served out of inclusion lists, in exclusion lists, alongside inappropriate content and ads served to international audiences. Companies determined top performers include (listed alphabetically): AOL’s Advertising.com, AudienceScience, Burst Media, FOX Audience Network, interclick, Microsoft Media Network, Tribal Fusion and ValueClick Media.</p>
<p>“In order for brand dollars to shift online, advertisers need to trust that their campaigns are running as intended and the Trust Index provides an overview of how the industry is doing against those expectations,” said Oren Netzer, CEO of DoubleVerify. “Our data shows that improvements are being made across the board to increase brand safety and trust. Verified campaigns especially showed vast improvement in non-compliance. Nevertheless, there’s still work to be done and we hope this data will provide benchmarks for advertising vendors to guide them toward these goals and move the industry forward.”</p>
<p>DoubleVerify took additional data into consideration when analyzing overall non-compliance of the online advertising industry, including: instances when multiple ads from the same advertiser were served, when ads were served alongside a competitor and when ads were served below the fold. According to the report, the most compliant advertising networks had an average of 2 percent incidents of non-compliance over the first six months of 2010. In comparison, the ten networks that struggled most saw an average of 37 percent incidents of non-compliance. Additionally, the most compliant platforms (DSPs, Ad Exchanges and Trading Desks) showed an average of 6 percent incidents of non-compliance – outperforming the lower tier of players by almost five times.</p>
<p>While each industry sector showed an effort to decrease non-compliance, all players were subject to fluctuations that illustrate the fact that even the best players face issues. The Trust Index details the overall average of non-compliance as well as the standard deviation of each group of industry players, showing how much variation there is from the &#8220;average&#8221;.  The standard deviation for the top performing advertising networks, for example, was 17 percent across campaigns. The standard deviation for the lowest performing ad networks was 28 percent.</p>
<p>DoubleVerify also analyzed how non-compliance on specific campaigns changed over time. Advertisers who worked with DoubleVerify to monitor, remediate and block non-compliant impressions witnessed a 67 percent decrease in inappropriate content and a 72 percent decrease in internationally targeted traffic.</p>
<p>Additional highlights around overall advertising delivery norms include:<br />
• 44 percent of ads on verified campaigns were served below the fold<br />
• 10 percent of advertising pages included multiple ads by the same advertiser<br />
• 4 percent of ads in verified campaigns were shown alongside a competitor’s ads</p>
<p>For more information and to view the report in its entirety, visit http://www.doubleverify.com/trust-index-1h-2010/</p>
<p>Methodology<br />
DoubleVerify used a robust set of data analysis tools to analyze online advertising campaign activity across more than 150 billion advertiser campaign impressions from January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010. Types of non-compliance analyzed include instances of ads served out of inclusion lists, in exclusion lists, alongside inappropriate content, multiple ads from the same advertiser, ads alongside a competitor, below the fold ads and ads served to international audiences. The data in the analysis was carefully normalized to the best of our ability. Advertising delivery providers were categorized into 3 main categories: Advertising Networks, Platforms (includes DSPs, ad exchanges and trading desks) and Publishers. Video Networks and Video Publishers were not included in this analysis.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Companies Advance Brand Safety in the Industry</p>
<p>NEW YORK &#8211; Responding to marketers’ call for better brand safety and enhanced transparency online, the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) announced that 16 member companies are the first to commit to comprehensive self-certification against the IAB “Networks &amp; Exchanges Quality Assurance Guidelines.” Released in June of this year, the guidelines are part of a far-reaching industry initiative lead by the IAB to increase buyer control over the placement and context of advertising on ad networks and exchanges. The announcement was made at ClickZ Connected Marketing Week in San Francisco, where the IAB Networks &amp; Exchanges Committee programmed a one-day forum on ad networks and exchanges.<br />

<p>“We applaud the efforts of these ad networks and exchanges to be the first to commit to the standards and practices covered by ‘Networks &amp; Exchanges Quality Assurance Guidelines,’” said Randall Rothenberg, President and CEO, IAB. “It is no small task to undergo the self-certification process and, once compliant, these organizations will provide marketers the highest level of brand safety. Every agency and marketer should consider compliance with these guidelines as a buying standard and we invite additional ad networks and exchanges to join the program.”</p>
<p>“The IAB Quality Assurance Guidelines demonstrate to marketers and agencies that we put brand safety first,” said Jay Sears, General Manager of ContextWeb, Inc.’s ADSDAQ Exchange, and Co-Chair of the IAB Networks &amp; Exchanges Committee. “These 16 companies that have raised their hand must now engage in a full-scale implementation that will require extensive training and investment—it shows a true commitment to control, transparency and simplifying the buying of digital media.”</p>
<p>“The certification program we designed is a way to provide marketers and agencies a standardized approach that will make buying advertising easier and give increased control over where ads are placed,” said David Jacobs, Senior Vice President, Advertising.com, and Co-Chair of the IAB N&amp;E Ad Certification Working Group. “We anticipate broad adoption of these guidelines by parties participating in the self certification process.”</p>
<p>The rigorous self-certification process requires the participating companies to:</p>
<p>Attend IAB training sessions developed to guide compliance officers through the proper implementations of the guidelines<br />
Conduct quarterly internal audits to test compliance with the guidelines<br />
Submit forms to the IAB from both the compliance officer and business unit leader attesting to adherence to the guidelines<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Only Third Party Ad Server to Deliver Both Site Analytics and Cross-Channel Campaign Tracking on a Single Platform</p>
<p>WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif. &#8211; ValueClick, Inc.’s (Nasdaq:VCLK) technology division, Mediaplex, announced it has released its site analytics reporting suite for agencies and marketers. With the new release, Mediaplex is now the only third-party ad server to deliver both site analytics and cross-channel campaign tracking on a single, integrated platform. Built to work seamlessly with existing advertiser conversion tracking tags, the implementation is quick and easy, requiring only the deployment of a single tag to begin tracking and reporting.<br />
<span id="more-7456"></span></p>
<div style="display:block;float:right;margin: 5px 5px 5px 5px;">
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
  GA_googleFillSlot("Digital_Media_Blog-large_rectangle_runofsite");
// --></script>
</div>
<p>Mediaplex’s site analytics reporting suite gives advertisers a comprehensive view into all aspects of their marketing programs by uniting campaign data from all advertising channels with their site side data. Agencies and marketers will also benefit from the union of their site analytic data when applying Mediaplex’s tools such as dynamic messaging and behavioral targeting.</p>
<p>For Mediaplex’s agency clients, the ease of configuration provides great efficiencies by allowing them to quickly begin incorporating site analytics tracking for multiple clients. Rather than installing a separate system to gather information for each client’s website, agencies can easily attain site side data for their clients by simply implementing the same tags used to track media conversions.</p>
<p>“During our Beta test, the Mediaplex site analytics reporting package enabled us to track and manage existing campaign data alongside site side data for one of our clients providing a unified data set, all on a single system,” said Charlie Ballard, manager, measurement &amp; analytics for One to One Interactive. “This in turn empowered us with better insights into the final stages of the conversion funnel across a diverse set of marketing campaigns – all with minimal time and effort.”</p>
<p>“The latest addition of site analytic metrics rounds out our existing site reporting for Natural Search and cross-channel conversion tracking,” said Ann Hoey, general manager of Mediaplex. “This enables us to deliver further on our commitment to providing our clients with a unified, enterprise-level solution that brings all of our clients’ marketing programs together.”</p>
<p>About Mediaplex</p>
<p>Mediaplex provides cross-channel advertising technology solutions and services that enable marketers to achieve one-to-one messaging, greater efficiencies and a competitive edge through insightful reporting and analytics.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.adoperationsonline.com/"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-408" title="Ad Operations Online" src="http://www.adoperationsonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/comscorelogo.gif" alt="Ad Operations Online" width="243" height="59" /></a>Summer Vacation Planning Drives Traffic to Travel Sites; Online Gaming Sites See Gains as School Year Ends</p>
<p>RESTON, VA – comScore, Inc. (NASDAQ: SCOR), a leader in measuring the digital world, released its monthly analysis of U.S. Web activity at the top online properties for June 2009 based on data from the comScore Media Metrix service. Online visitation to travel sites gained as Americans began planning and preparing for their summer vacations. The end of another school year resulted in an increase of interest at gaming sites. Career services and development sites saw strong growth due to the influx of recent college graduates entering the job market, in addition to a rising unemployment rate.<br />
<span id="more-4964"></span><br />
“Travel sites typically see an increase in activity around this time of year as Americans look to get away,” said Jack Flanagan, executive vice president of comScore Media Metrix. “Summer vacation also means more leisure time for those out of school, leading to a seasonal increase in leisure categories including online gaming and entertainment.”</p>
<p><strong>Online Vacation Planning Jumps in June</strong></p>
<p>June heated up the Travel category as Americans sought seasonal getaways. The Airlines category ranked as the top gaining category for June, growing 22 percent to 33.2 million visitors. Also among the top gaining categories were Travel Transactions, Online Travel Agents, and Travel Information. Southwest Airlines, the top ranked site in the Airlines category, achieved particularly strong gains growing 64 percent to 16.4 million visitors and grabbing the #2 position among the top gaining properties.</p>
<p>Online travel agent sites also experienced growth in June, increasing 9 percent to 42.8 million visitors. Expedia led the category with 27 million visitors (up 12 percent), followed by Orbitz with 12.5 million visitors (up 10 percent), Priceline with 11.3 million (up 7 percent), and Travelocity with nearly 9.8 million visitors (up 8 percent).</p>

</div>
<p><strong>Americans Say “Game On” in June</strong></p>
<p>Online gaming sites saw a surge in activity in June, as the beginning of summer vacation provided students with more leisure time for such pursuits. The Gaming Information category attracted 50 million Americans in June, up 6 percent vs. the previous month. With school out for the summer, students found ways to spend their free time on sites such as GiantRealm and GameStop, with both sites ranking among the top 10 gaining properties in June. GiantRealm jumped 25 percent to more than 7 million visitors while GameStop grew 19 percent to nearly 5.8 million visitors.</p>
<p><strong>Job-Seekers Make an Effort Online</strong></p>
<p>Rising unemployment during the past year has led to an increasing number of Americans seeking jobs and career opportunities online. Both the Career Resources and Career Training &amp; Education categories ranked among the top ten gaining categories for June as the unemployed, underemployed and recent grads scoured the Web for opportunities. The Career Resources category grew 6 percent to 46.8 million visitors, while Career Training &amp; Education grew 13 percent to 6.7 million visitors.<br />
<strong><br />
Top 50 Properties </strong></p>
<p>Google Sites continued to lead as the most visited property in June with nearly 157 million visitors, followed by Yahoo! Sites with 154 million visitors and Microsoft Sites with 127.4 million visitors. Facebook.com moved up two positions to #6 marking its highest-ever ranking. Career Builder ascended 6 spots to #39 with 21.7 million visitors, a reflection of the Career Services &amp; Development category gain. The Mozilla Organization jumped 13 spots to #28 with nearly 27 million visitors, due to the release of Firefox 3.5 which includes numerous new and improved features. June also represented Twitter.com’s debut in the ranking of the top 50 properties, coming in at #46 with 20.1 million visitors.</p>
<p>“It’s hard to believe that Twitter.com had fewer than a million visitors  in June 2008, and now attracts more than 20 million visitors a month and ranks among the top 50 U.S. properties,” Flanagan commented. “Twitter has clearly been able to generate wide interest and cultivate a substantial following in a very short period of time. If this momentum persists, then we will continue to see Twitter climb higher and higher in this ranking in the coming months.”</p>
<p><strong>Top 50 Ad Focus Ranking</strong></p>
<p>Platform-A led the June Ad Focus ranking, reaching 91 percent of all Americans online. Yahoo! Network ranked second, reaching 88 percent of the population, while ValueClick Networks ranked third with an 84-percent reach. Fox Audience Network and 24/7 Real Media each climbed one spot grabbing the #7 and #8 positions, respectively.</p>

<p>“What makes the AdRevenue conference unique is that its goal is to offer large online media companies the most effective strategies to increase their ad revenue,” said PubMatic CEO, Rajeev Goel. “We created the AdRevenue conference series because we’ve seen a lot of conferences that focus on user and advertiser needs, which are important, but there hasn’t been enough discussion on increasing the bottom line for publishers. If you work for a large online publisher and you’re directly managing the ad revenue, you should be at this event.”</p>
<p>About PubMatic</p>
<p>PubMatic provides online publishers with a full service solution to manage and monetize unsold ad inventory. PubMatic&#8217;s real-time ad price prediction technology and dedicated team service drive significantly higher revenues and simplify ad network management for more than 5500 large and medium publishers. www.PubMatic.com</p>

(Nasdaq:VCLK), announced the availability of ActiveAdsSM, enabling advertisers to tailor banner ad creative for each consumer.</p>
<p>ActiveAdsSM allows marketers to display customized messages in ad creative without the need to develop and manage multiple creative units. Banner ads are dynamically assembled to present a more relevant version of the ad’s text or images based on anonymous information available from the client or ValueClick Media.</p>
<p>ActiveAdsSM provides an efficient way to micro-target the most desirable audience segments while providing consumers with more engaging ads, ultimately resulting in better campaign performance. Unlike some other solutions, all ActiveAdsSM targeting is done anonymously and without any use of personally identifiable information.<br />

<p>In addition to the ability to present diverse ads based on retargeting data from ValueClick Media’s Precision RetargetingSM product, ActiveAdsSM can tailor an ad based on technical data such as a consumer’s geographic location, or contextually based on the category of the site they are currently visiting. Moreover, clients can tailor creative based on an infinite number of products or anonymous customer attributes the advertiser supplies to ValueClick Media via XML.</p>
<p>“ActiveAds is extremely well suited for our clients who believe one ad does not fit all. Too long have clients with a wide variety of products been forced to show the same content to all prospects, despite the wealth of data which can be used to improve performance by tailoring ad creative to each individual consumer,” said Bill Todd, general manager of ValueClick Media.</p>
<p>For additional details about ActiveAdsSM, interested advertisers should contact their ValueClick Media sales representative or call 818-575-4669.</p>

<p>ORLANDO, Fla. &#8211; The Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) announced that it has launched task forces comprised of industry leaders to address two of the biggest issues facing the interactive advertising industry—data ownership and media contracts between buyers and sellers of interactive advertising. These task forces represent a cross section of interactive industry stakeholders from web publishers, portals, search engines and networks and exchanges. Their objective is to find answers to the issues of data ownership and to create a model contract that includes commonly used terms and conditions (Ts&amp;Cs) that are mutually beneficial solutions for publishers, agencies and marketers, thereby improving relationships between the three groups, fostering business growth and facilitating industry partnerships. The announcement was made at the IAB’s Annual Leadership Meeting, Ecosystem 2.0: Brands Battle Back, in Orlando, Florida.</p>
<p>“Our industry is absolutely committed to marshalling interactive media leadership to move forward on these important fronts,” said Randall Rothenberg, President &amp; CEO of the IAB. “We recognize that our members have truly revolutionized marketing with their products and services, and they are the ones who will be most adept at driving the change needed for resolution.”<br />

<p>The Interactive Ts&amp;Cs Task Force’s discussions with the 4A’s are slated to begin in March. The following IAB member companies will serve on this task force:<br />
Cars.com<br />
CBS Interactive<br />
CNN.com<br />
Disney Interactive Media Group<br />
Facebook<br />
Forbes.com<br />
Fox Interactive Media<br />
Google<br />
Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia<br />
Microsoft Advertising<br />
NBC Universal<br />
New York Times<br />
Platform-A<br />
Time Inc<br />
Valueclick Media<br />
Yahoo!, Inc</p>
<p>The IAB has long taken a leadership role in improving supply chain operations in an effort to reduce the complexities that marketers and agencies face when buying interactive advertising. One of the steps the IAB has taken was the formation with the 4A’s of the Interactive Reinvention Task Force in 2008, a collaborative publisher-agency effort that also announced today a set of ground-breaking agreements on voluntary business process standards which, if adopted by agencies and publishers, will significantly reduce cost and complexity in the planning and buying of interactive advertising. In addition, the newly created Networks and Exchanges Committee has taken on an initiative to define and map out the types of data that can be collected and developed by ad networks. The IAB also announced today the launch of the Data Task Force that will tackle the challenges associated with data ownership.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>- <strong>Report Reveals One in Six Ads During Football Broadcasts Inappropriate for Kids</strong><br />
“…I wasn’t too happy with ads for erectile-dysfunction drugs popping up every 15 minutes whenever I watched a football game with my daughters in the room.” –– Barack Obama, The Audacity of Hope, 2006<br />
After listening to complaints from scores of fed-up parents, Common Sense Media released a report today on the content of ads shown during NFL broadcasts. The report, Broadcast Dysfunction: Sex, Violence, Alcohol and the NFL, looked at ads in more than 50 games from this season and found it was impossible to watch a single game without coming up against sex, violence, or Viagra®.<br />
“Nearly 5.3 million kids watch football each week,* yet one in six of the ads shown during the broadcasts features content that’s wildly inappropriate for kids –– that’s every other commercial break, ” said founder and CEO of Common Sense Media, James Steyer. “The game of football is great fun for families, but it can be really awkward for parents when they have to explain erectile dysfunction on a Sunday afternoon, or have to dive for the remote during violent promos for network shows. I know we speak for millions of football fans and parents everywhere when we say this situation is really getting ridiculous.”<br />

<p>WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif. &#8211; ValueClick, Inc.’s (Nasdaq: VCLK) technology division, Mediaplex, today announced the release of its <strong>Dynamic Behavioral Targeting</strong> suite, which was developed to eliminate wasteful marketing spend and enable advertisers to cost-effectively achieve true one-to-one messaging. This solution enables clients to determine exactly who they want to target based on previous behavior and then deliver the most relevant message to those individuals immediately. The suite also includes dynamic optimization, dynamic rich media creative, and reporting to further improve the performance of client marketing programs.</p>
<p>A prominent application of dynamic behavioral targeting occurs when advertisers need to tie in available product inventory with current promotions. The synchronization between offers and available inventory allows advertisers to react immediately with the best offer to ensure opportunities aren’t wasted and maximum revenue potential is realized.<br />

<p>“Our clients understand the value of one-to-one messaging for developing deeper relationships and creating customer loyalty, but are increasingly challenged because these programs can be time-intensive and cost-prohibitive,” said Ann Hoey, general manager of Mediaplex. “Our dynamic behavioral targeting suite empowers clients with the tools they need to achieve tailored messaging while eliminating wasteful marketing spend.”</p>
<p>“Through the application of Mediaplex’s dynamic messaging technology we are able to ensure our clients that the pricing in their advertisements is always accurate and inventory they are promoting is always available,” said Irene Zalami, Account Director of Web Liquid. “The latest enhancements to dynamic messaging will go a long way toward guaranteeing a positive user experience as well as allowing us to deliver high conversion rates.”</p>
<p>Mediaplex’s Dynamic Behavioral Targeting Suite includes:</p>
<p><strong>Dynamic Behavioral Targeting</strong> – Enables advertisers to differentiate and segment qualified customers from prospects based on their prior activity, and serve the most appropriate message using dynamic, real-time creative. This means advertisers can truly deliver the most relevant offer at the right time, in real time.</p>
<p><strong>Dynamic Optimization</strong> – Allows marketers to define their own optimization criteria and then measure and evaluate the performance of the dynamic creative to automatically serve the best performing creative. This saves advertisers’ valuable impressions and effectively reduces overall waste in marketing spend.</p>
<p><strong>Dynamic Rich Media Creative</strong> – In addition to taking in data from external sources and changing standard banner advertisements immediately based on those data, Mediaplex’s offering allows advertisers to serve up personalized, relevant communications inside any rich media advertisement as well.</p>
<p><strong>Dynamic Reporting</strong> – Mediaplex reports provide granular insights into the performance of each individual creative offer. This level of reporting detail gives advertisers ROI metrics down to each individual offer, giving the advertiser the right level of data insights they need to make informed decisions regarding best performing creatives and offers.</p>

<p>WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif. &#8211; ValueClick Media, a division of ValueClick, Inc. (Nasdaq:VCLK), announced several enhancements to its <strong>Precision Retargeting</strong>™ product and the availability of a white paper entitled “Improving Performance with Retargeting,” which can be downloaded at <a href="http://www.valueclickmedia.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">www.valueclickmedia.com</a>.</p>
<p>Precision Retargeting™ is a core component of ValueClick Media’s Precision BT™ suite, which launched in July of this year. Precision Retargeting™ offers the ability to anonymously re-engage specific audiences based on their prior interest or interaction with a marketer’s brand.<br />

<p>Compared to other providers, ValueClick Media’s behavioral targeting suite stands out, in that it offers all of the following retargeting features:</p>
<p>* <strong>Recency</strong> – Allows the ability to control the timeframe in which consumers are retargeted, based on how recently they were exposed to an ad or took a particular action on an advertiser’s site. For example, a hotel chain that has identified bookings drop off significantly after three days of first visiting the site can retarget only consumers who have been there within the past three days.<br />
* <strong>Frequency </strong>– Allows the ability to retarget consumers based on the number of times they visited an advertiser’s site or interacted with a marketer’s message. For example, an electronics retailer may infer that consumers who visited the television section of its site more than five times are nearing a purchase decision and can tailor messages only to those individuals.<br />
* <strong>Exclusion</strong> – Allows the ability to exclude a specific group from being retargeted with additional advertising. For example, a department store running a campaign for men’s clothing can avoid retargeting visitors to the women’s section of its site. Or a credit card company can exclude individuals who have already completed an application.<br />
* <strong>Personalization</strong> – Allows the ability to dynamically customize creative messages based on a wide range of information known about each visitor. For example, visitors to an automotive site could be shown an ad containing a picture of the exact vehicle they expressed interested in. Combined with geo-targeting, the creative could also include the name and location of the nearest dealer.<br />
* <strong>Seamless integration with third-party ad serving</strong> – Allows the ability to retarget visitors who have searched or clicked on media delivered outside of the ValueClick Media network. For example, visitors who clicked on a search link but did not purchase within two days could be retargeted by ValueClick Media.</p>
<p>“These features add a new dimension to retargeting that will provide sophisticated marketers with more flexibility and more ways to achieve maximum performance from their online advertising investments,” said Bill Todd, general manager of ValueClick Media. “They also represent the ongoing investment in our Precision BT suite and another example of how our use of data and technology differentiates ValueClick Media from other ad networks.”</p>
<p>In tandem with the announcement of its new retargeting features, ValueClick Media has published a white paper entitled “Improving Performance with Retargeting.” Available at www.valueclickmedia.com, the paper provides a comprehensive guide to the critical success factors and specific types of retargeting, supported by both aggregated data and specific examples of advertisers who have been successful using retargeting on the ValueClick Media network.</p>
<p>Precision Retargeting™ is one of two products available in ValueClick Media’s Precision BT™ suite and is used to present highly relevant ads to consumers who have previously demonstrated interest by visiting or taking action on a marketer’s site when they later visit any of the 13,500 sites in the ValueClick Media network. ValueClick Media’s pioneering behavioral product, Precision Profiles™, was announced in July and leverages ValueClick Media’s access to a critical mass of online behavior to provide the newest and most sophisticated form of predictive behavioral targeting available today.</p>

<p>WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif. &#8211; ValueClick, Inc.’s (Nasdaq: VCLK), technology division, Mediaplex, announced the availability of online, near real-time reports which were developed to complement Mediaplex’s Path to Conversion data and analytic services offering. Through extensive custom client engagements, Mediaplex determined the best and most actionable views into the Path to Conversion data, and used these findings to develop the new online reports. As a result, these reports present data in a way that makes it easy for clients to gain immediate insights into how to best improve campaign performance as opposed to having to sift through massive amounts of raw data.<br />

<p>Mediaplex introduced Path to Conversion more than a year ago to help clients gain deeper insight into their data and obtain a more holistic view of their online marketing programs by evaluating performance beyond the “last click wins” methodology. With the new reporting package, Mediaplex clients are empowered with summarized, near real-time Path to Conversion reports that are easy to understand, enabling them to better evaluate the performance of their media buys and make quick and informed decisions regarding how to adjust their spend on marketing programs across all the channels they are tracking.</p>
<p>“Since we introduced Path to Conversion to clients last year, we have experienced a tremendous growth in the demand for the data and services we offer as part of this solution. We wanted to extend the benefits of this data to a far greater number of our clients in a way that makes it easy for them to act upon findings from the data,” said Ann Hoey, general manager of Mediaplex. “By providing self-serve Path to Conversion reports, we are able to provide a deep level of data in a way that takes the challenge out of the analysis for our clients, helping them further improve their campaign performance for optimal results.”</p>
<p>&#8220;Online Path to Conversion reporting has been a tremendous resource in helping us quickly view and understand all the activity in the conversion path,&#8221; said John Ward, global director of online media at American Apparel. &#8220;The fact that we can get these reports on-demand enables us to be more flexible and proactive when making decisions regarding how to continuously improve performance across all of our marketing campaigns.&#8221;</p>

<p>WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif. &#8211; ValueClick, Inc. (Nasdaq:VCLK) today announced it has launched AdRx Media, a premium health and wellness online advertising network with a potential reach of more than 20 million unique visitors per month, according to comScore Media Metrix.</p>
<p>AdRx Media is comprised of several well-known publishers, including Britannica Health, HealthGrades, Healthy.net, Merriam-Webster Medical Dictionary, OrganizedWisdom.com, Wrong Diagnosis and more than 50 other high quality health and wellness information sites.<br />

<p>AdRx Media gives advertisers a way to reach consumers while they are engaged in seeking health information on more targeted sites beyond the largest health properties. For instance, according to comScore Plan Metrix June 2008 data, WebMD Health reaches only one in seven people who have searched for health information related to an ailment online and Everyday Health reaches only one in eleven.</p>
<p>“AdRx Media is filling an important gap by giving advertisers an efficient way to reach a more engaged audience as they seek information on focused health sites other than general health properties,” said James Kiernan, vice president, group director at MediaVest. “Having a reliable partner to aggregate inventory on content related to all major health conditions is a service I expect media buyers in the health category will be very receptive to.”</p>
<p>AdRx Media offers advertisers a convenient way to reach consumers as they go online to learn more about any health related issue, with complete transparency into the sites where their ads will appear. The extensive reach of AdRx Media provides several ways to reach any health-conscious audience via contextual placements alongside condition-specific content and other demographic, psychographic and technographic targeting capabilities.</p>
<p>“The response to AdRx Media among marketers and agencies during our initial charter period has been overwhelmingly positive,” said Denise Zaraya, director, AdRx Media. “They recognize the value of targeting niche content with a partner that can guarantee quality, transparency, expertise and scale.”</p>
<p>The network is managed within the ValueClick Media division in the U.S. and utilizes its advanced network technology and expertise. A dedicated account management and media development team works with a unique set of AdRx Media publishers and advertisers under the direction of Ms. Zaraya.</p>
<p>AdRx Media is exhibiting and Ms. Zaraya will speak on a panel entitled “DTC Advertising and New Media” at the PharmaMed conference in New Brunswick, New Jersey September 15-16. On September 18-19, AdRx Media will exhibit at the OMMA Global conference in New York, where Ms. Zaraya will lead a workshop on “Strategies for Maximizing Performance with Vertical Networks.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Time flies and once again it&#8217;s reporting time! The second quarter seems to have been particularly good for a lot of dotcoms involved, in one way or another, in online advertising. Here are some of the highlights:</p>
<p><strong>- WebTrends reports record quarter</strong><br />
WebTrends Inc., a leading provider of Web analytics and online marketing solutions, announced that it achieved record revenue for the quarter ending June 30, 2008. WebTrends gained significant momentum in its core Web analytics business, winning important new customers, retaining virtually 100% of its enterprise-level customers, achieving more revenue than in any previous quarter, and maintaining its profitable operating margin.<br />
<span id="more-716"></span></p>

--></div>
<p>“We’re proud to report the best quarter in the history of WebTrends, with bookings even higher than our record revenues, adding to our software-as-a-service subscription base,” said Dan Stickel, WebTrends CEO. “Our record quarter and the increased demand for our solution is a direct result of shipping substantive products that satisfy real needs, investing in customer support and services to ensure our clients’ success, and focusing on product innovation in strategic growth areas,” said Stickel.</p>
<p>- <strong>interCLICK reports a revenue increase of 31.2% sequentially; gross margin increases to 27% from 24% in 2008 first quarter</strong></p>
<p><span id="bwanpa4">“</span>The investments the Company made in the 2007        fourth quarter and 2008 first quarter have helped to drive margin        expansion and increases in interCLICK<span id="bwanpa5">’</span>s        comScore ranking, reflecting growing recognition from clients of the        unique proposition we offer advertisers and publishers,<span id="bwanpa6">”</span> said Michael Mathews, interCLICK<span id="bwanpa7">’</span>s Chief        Executive Officer. <span id="bwanpa8">“</span>In addition to growing        revenue and improving margins, the Company has taken other steps to        enhance operating results through the hiring of experienced sales        executives to enter new geographic markets, while simultaneously        streamlining operations to reduce corporate overhead. Since the end of        the first quarter, interCLICK has also improved its balance sheet        through the repayment of approximately $2.9 million of debt, further        increasing its flexibility to grow its business. With industry leaders        such as Google forecasting that online ad revenue could reach $500        billion, we believe that interCLICK is well positioned to participate in        this growth.<span id="bwanpa9">”</span></p>
<p><strong>- Onstream Media Corporation Reports Quarterly Revenue Up 18.7% Year-Over-Year</strong><br />
For the first nine months of fiscal 2008, total revenue was a record $13.2 million, up 65.0% from the $8.0 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2007. The revenue growth was due to the inclusion of approximately $5.4 million in Infinite Conferencing revenue, which reflected nine months of operations in the current fiscal year, compared to approximately $1.3 million in Infinite Conference revenue during the two months following the acquisition last year.</p>
<p><strong>- ValueClick&#8217;s reported revenue of $163.8 million was one percent below the low end of the $166 to $170 million guidance range issued on May 6</strong><br />
&#8220;While increased macroeconomic uncertainty makes revenue growth more challenging for the second half of the year, we are taking meaningful steps to preserve margins and drive long-term growth and shareholder value,&#8221; said Tom Vadnais, chief executive officer of ValueClick. &#8220;We are accelerating initiatives to increase synergies among our businesses, and we have been active in our stock repurchase program since our July 17 pre-announcement. We believe ValueClick&#8217;s long-term prospects are bright, and we are committing resources to realize the opportunities in front of us while driving bottom line results.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.adoperationsonline.com"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-372" title="Ad Operations Online" src="http://www.adoperationsonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/valueclicklogo.jpg" alt="" width="119" height="59" /></a>Fight over behavioral targeting (or hypertargeting, or whatever else you fancy naming it) is getting ugly. It has just emerged that ad network ValueClick has sued Tacoda (owned by Time Warner) for allegedly infringing two of ValueClick&#8217;s patents on behavioral targeting platforms &#8211; only a couple days after announcing the <a href="http://www.adoperationsonline.com/2008/07/21/valueclick-media-launches-predictive-behavioral-targeting/" target="_blank">launch of their new predictive behavioral targeting platform</a>.</p>
<p>Wendy Davis of MediaPost reports that &#8220;In the lawsuit, quietly filed two weeks ago in federal court in Los Angeles, ValueClick alleges that Tacoda&#8217;s core business&#8211;profiling users based on their Web activity and serving them targeted ads&#8211;infringes on two patents dating back to the 1990s.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We feel that we have a patent on the general principles of behavioral targeting, and that&#8217;s what we&#8217;re enforcing,&#8221; said Scott Barlow, vice president and general counsel at ValueClick.</p>
<p>Tacoda is not the first to be sued for those patents*: Blue Lithium and Revenue Science were dragged in court over them too, and both reached settlements with ValueClick. Will Tacoda follow example, or is there more to the game than yet another settlement?</p>

<p>Second Quarter 2008 Results</p>
<p>Revenue for the second quarter of 2008 was $163.8 million, an increase of $15.2 million, or 10 percent, from $148.7 million for the second quarter of 2007. Second quarter 2008 results include three months of operations from MeziMedia, which was acquired in July 2007.</p>
<p>Income before income taxes for the second quarter of 2008 was $29.3 million compared to $29.4 million for the second quarter of 2007. Amortization of intangible assets increased to $7.8 million for the second quarter of 2008 from $5.5 million for the second quarter of 2007, primarily due to the impact of the MeziMedia acquisition. Adjusted-EBITDA for the second quarter of 2008 was $43.5 million, an increase of 12 percent compared to $38.8 million for the second quarter of 2007.</p>

Below is the press release, issues just moments ago.</p>
<p>WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif. &#8211; July 21, 2008 &#8211; ValueClick Media, a division of ValueClick, Inc. (Nasdaq:VCLK), announced the availability of its Precision BT(TM) suite today, combining access to a wealth of anonymous consumer online behavior with an innovative predictive technology to create the most robust and scalable behavioral targeting solution available to marketers.</p>
<p>The Precision BT(TM) suite contains two products, including Precision Retargeting(TM), an enhanced version of the user retargeting capabilities offered by ValueClick Media since 2005, and Precision Profiles(TM), which uses a proprietary predictive algorithm to identify a marketer&#8217;s best prospects in hundreds of consumer interest segments.<br />
<span id="more-253"></span></p>

<!-- END OF TAG FOR SLOT Digital_Media_Blog-large_rectangle_runofsite<br />
--></div>
<p>Until now, predictive algorithms have rarely been applied to behavioral targeting, compared to the common cluster and custom business rules approaches popularized by Tacoda and Revenue Science, respectively. Predictive analytics includes only the best consumers in each segment at any given time, based on a marketer&#8217;s intended objective and the consumer&#8217;s likelihood to take action in the future.</p>
<p>&#8220;What makes Precision Profiles(TM) unique is our access to a critical mass of anonymous consumer online experiences and the way our technology dynamically categorizes and transforms them into hundreds of interest segments,&#8221; said Matthew Boyd, senior vice president, ValueClick Media. &#8220;Combined with the ability for our optimization technology to identify the best possible context in which to serve an ad, we have assembled the most scalable, data-driven audience targeting platform for marketers to achieve their brand and direct response objectives.&#8221;</p>
<p>Several key features set Precision Profiles(TM) apart from other behavioral targeting solutions currently available today, including:</p>
<p>Data<br />
&#8211;  Access to a wider spectrum of anonymous consumer online behavior (including web browsing, ad interaction, search and shopping behavior) results in more granular profiles and a higher likelihood of reaching the most qualified audience;<br />
&#8211;  Complete respect for consumers&#8217; online privacy offers a PII-safe solution that, unlike portals, never stores personally-identifiable information such as names, telephone numbers and e-mail addresses in association with interest profiles;</p>
<p>Approach</p>
<p>&#8211;  A predictive algorithm, not the marketer, identifies and<br />
continually updates consumer eligibility for each interest<br />
segment based on their future likelihood to click or convert,<br />
not just the recency and frequency of their online behavior;</p>
<p>&#8211;  Segment composition is dynamic and adapts to the changing<br />
behavior of consumers as well as the objectives and<br />
performance of each marketer;</p>
<p>&#8211;  Consumers can belong to one or more interest segments, not<br />
just a single, pre-defined cluster, increasing the likelihood<br />
of reaching them at the right time and in all of their<br />
multi-faceted interests;</p>
<p>Scale</p>
<p>&#8211;  ValueClick Media&#8217;s extensive reach enables behavioral<br />
targeting delivery on a scalable, worldwide basis from a<br />
single partner within a safe, highly-controlled ad network<br />
environment.</p>
<p>&#8211;  Flexible profiles enable clients to develop, target and scale<br />
custom segments based on their own definitions using their own<br />
data, rather than forcing them to use pre-identified segments<br />
that consist of only ValueClick data</p>
<p>During a recent beta period, clients testing Precision Profiles(TM) reported a significant impact on their campaigns. For example, one online games client achieved a 298 percent lift in conversion rates over an optimized control group. In a head-to-head comparison, conversions for one mobile campaign outperformed other behavioral targeting vendors 11 to one while keeping within the client&#8217;s target cost-per-action goal.</p>
<p>&#8220;We worked closely with ValueClick Media to test Precision Profiles during the beta and were impressed by the conversions compared to those of our other behavioral targeting providers,&#8221; said Reid Carr, president of Red Door Interactive.</p>
<p>Precision Profiles(TM) is one of two products initially available in ValueClick Media&#8217;s Precision BT(TM) suite. Precision Retargeting(TM) presents relevant messages directly to consumers who have previously demonstrated interest by visiting or taking action on a marketer&#8217;s site when they later visit any of the 13,500 sites in the ValueClick Media network. Unlike most other retargeting vendors, Precision Retargeting(TM) offers marketers the flexibility of custom recency, frequency and exclusion rules to offer highly-personalized sequential messaging. Additional behavioral targeting products will be added to the Precision BT(TM) suite in 2009.</p>

It is expected that the launch will be announced later today at the OMMA Behavioral conference in San Francisco.</p>
<p>According to Tanya, &#8220;the suite combines access to anonymous consumer online behavior with a predictive technology to create a scalable behavioral targeting solution available to marketers via two products: Precision Retargeting, an enhanced version of the user retargeting capabilities offered by ValueClick Media since 2005, and Precision Profiles, which uses a proprietary predictive algorithm to identify a marketer&#8217;s best prospects in hundreds of consumer interest segments.&#8221;</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll keep an eye on what&#8217;s going on at the OMMA Behavioral conference and publish and update as soon as an official announcement is made.</p>
<p>In the meantime, some food for thought: how exactly does &#8220;access to anonymous consumer online behavior&#8221; work in this case, and how is the data collected? I can hear already hear &#8220;privacy&#8221; screams around!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.adoperationsonline.com"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1904" title="Ad Operations Online" src="http://www.adoperationsonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/mediaplexlogo.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="30" /></a>WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif.&#8211;(BUSINESS WIRE)&#8211;June 11, 2008&#8211;ValueClick, Inc.&#8217;s (Nasdaq: VCLK) technology division, Mediaplex, today announced that its Path to Conversion findings show the significant influence of channels such as display, email and search in driving overall conversions. In analyzing aggregated results from campaigns conducted for clients over the past seven months, Mediaplex found that 70% of conversions were preceded by exposures or interactions with two or more online channels prior to the final conversion event. The analysis also revealed that 45% of the conversions credited to paid search were preceded by an exposure and/or interaction with at least one of the client&#8217;s display advertising banners prior to converting.</p>
<p>While much of the credit for final conversion events continues to be attributed to the &#8220;last click&#8221; &#8211; which is often paid search &#8211; Mediaplex&#8217;s Path to Conversion findings reveal how consumers interact with multiple online channels prior to that final conversion event. This in turn is helping Mediaplex&#8217;s clients gain a more holistic understanding of their paid search, natural search, display, email and performance-based online marketing campaigns and the influence they have on each other and, ultimately, overall campaign results.</p>
<p>Mediaplex&#8217;s studies also showed that paid search links are often simply used as navigational tools as opposed to new lead generators, with 70% of paid search conversions coming from branded keywords. These findings further demonstrate the importance of looking beyond just the last click in order to gain a richer understanding of what is driving conversions.</p>
<p>&#8220;For years Mediaplex has been addressing the importance of tracking and managing marketing campaigns across multiple channels through our industry-leading single tracking platform,&#8221; said Ann Hoey, general manager of Mediaplex. &#8220;As our clients began tracking a greater number of marketing channels, it became apparent that they also needed greater transparency into their data on a much deeper level, which is why we introduced our Path to Conversion data and analytics service offering last year.&#8221;</p>
<p>Unlike other products currently being beta-tested in the industry, Mediaplex&#8217;s Path to Conversion offering:<br />
-  Has been proven successful with a number of client installations for well over a year<br />
-  Includes all online marketing channels rather than just paid search and display<br />
-  Provides customized analysis for each individual client so that they can define a custom attribution formula, vs. a one-size-fits all approach.</p>
<p>&#8220;We understand the value of tracking and analyzing marketing programs for our clients along with the interaction between the different online channels, which is why we became interested in Mediaplex&#8217;s Path to Conversion solution,&#8221; said Josh Dreller, director of media technology for Fuor Digital. &#8220;Our goal was to go deeper into the analytics and data to find what was happening beyond the last click. By utilizing Mediaplex&#8217;s data and analytic service offering, we have been able to achieve greater insight into the data path across multiple channels and touch points to further maximize programs for our clients.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.adoperationsonline.com"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-372" title="Ad Operations Online" src="http://www.adoperationsonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/valueclicklogo.jpg" alt="" width="119" height="59" /></a>Chicago, Ill. – APRIL 11, 2008 –ValueClick Media, a division of ValueClick, Inc. (Nasdaq: VCLK), recently gathered a panel of experts and nearly 100 online marketing professionals, representing marketers and agencies, to debate the most critical aspects of behavioral targeting at the Hard Rock Hotel in Chicago.</p>
<p>In an effort to cover this exciting area of online marketing from all angles, the panel featured an industry analyst (David Hallerman, senior analyst, eMarketer), a behavioral targeting product expert (Joshua Koran, vice president, targeting and optimization, ValueClick, Inc.), a brand marketer (Julian Chu, Director of Acquisition Marketing, Discover) and an interactive agency executive (Sam Wehrs, Digital Activation Director, Starcom).</p>
<p>Kicking off the event, David Hallerman shared new data from eMarketer suggesting that behavioral targeting ad spending growth will be far stronger than for total Internet advertising. Expected to reach $4.8 billion in 2012, behavioral targeting ad spending will then make up 9.4 percent of total Internet advertising, up from 3.4 percent this year.</p>
<p><span id="more-40"></span></p>
<p>Given the rapid proliferation of service providers touting the service, the group discussed and agreed on the need for delineation between the different approaches to behavioral targeting. While it is important to understand the difference between retargeting – which Hallerman referred to as “reactive” – and the more complex models, the panel agreed it is also critical to understand the differences within the more sophisticated group of behavioral targeting approaches, and Joshua Koran shared three designations: “clustering,” “custom business rules” and “predictive attributes.”</p>
<p>The &#8220;clustering&#8221; approach assigns each visitor to one and only one segment while the &#8220;custom business rules&#8221; approach offers marketers the ability to target visitors who have done X events in Y days, with Boolean operators of AND, OR and NOT. Finally, the &#8220;predictive attributes&#8221; approach automates the assignment of interest categories based on the visitor activities that best correlate with performance; thus, the system is continuously learning to identify multiple interest attributes per visitor.</p>
<p>Another notable takeaway was the need for a focus on the customer experience and the corresponding importance of demonstrating value to customers when serving behaviorally targeted ads. Julian Chu offered three questions marketers must address to make behavioral targeting a valuable experience for customers instead of merely serving the ads, which would unavoidably become customer annoyance: How are you going to do it? Where is it going to happen? What is going to happen at that time?</p>
<p>Presented as part of ValueClick Media’s ongoing Media Lounge education event series, this event – The Changing Behavioral Targeting Landscape – as well as the discussion itself underscored the importance of education relative to this increasingly important online advertising technique.<br />
ValueClick Media, which has offered retargeting since 2005, recently announced the public beta of a new behavioral targeting product based on the predictive approach. A full release of the product will be available later this year.</p>
