ABCSearch - AdWatcher Team Up Against Click Fraud

2008-04-16T14:41:00Z

PPC search network ABCSearch announced a partnership with AdWatcher, a 3rd party service for tracking online ad campaigns. Advertisers in the ABCSearch network receive feedback on the quality and conversion of the traffic to their sites. Adwatcher will monitor traffic quality for the ABCSearch network in an effort to improve campaign conversion rates and provide greater transparency.

As click fraud continues to remain a concern for advertisers at networks large and small, ABCSearch should be lauded for taking the issue seriously just as Yahoo should for partnering with Click Forensics. What is most interesting about these two developments, is that both AdWatcher and ClickForensics (in addition to ClickFacts) were called out by Google for inflating click fraud numbers back in August of 2006, claiming these enterprises independent studies are "either based on guesswork or they are tracking too many fictitious clicks."

AdRoll & The Power In Blog Numbers

2008-04-16T14:40:00Z

Adroll rolled out of private beta this week. The solution aims to level the playing field for bloggers looking to generate advertising revenue. The model is quite unique in that those who join the program set their minimum price (which acts as a psuedo-reserve). Advertisers in turn bid for that inventory - when the price is higher than waht the blog can get from a program such as Asense, AdRoll swaps in one of its ads in the same spot if it can beat the Adsense price (after it's 30% cut mind you). Where AdRoll is really fascinating is that blogs can join communities of other blogs. By teaming up with others of similar readerships, publisher/affiliates can expect a higher CPM. There are currently 100+ "communities" and blogs within those communities receive an 80/20 revenue split as opposed to the 70/30 split if they go it alone. Advertisers looking to tap into smaller niche blogs should be exicited by the possibilities.

Vet Employment Candidates

2008-04-16T14:39:00Z

Who you hire is an important corporate decision. Choose wisely and reap the many rewards. Choose poorly and start over at square one, hoping no long-term damage was done to your brand or your bottom line. Fetch technologies introduced an interesting technology this week dubbed Fetch Footprint which leverage the deep Web to vet employment candidates.

Using advanced artificial intelligence and deep Web extraction technologies, Fetch Footprint will access candidate data from public local, state and federal information sources and millions of social and professional network posts to make the most informed hiring decisions possible.

“While most employers routinely Google candidates as part of the hiring process, Fetch Footprint goes substantially deeper,” says Jerry Thurber, President of Fetch Footprint, a division of Fetch Technologies’ Employee Data Services Group. “Footprint automates what would take hundreds of man-hours to otherwise discover. For those involved with recruiting, contracting, screening or hiring decisions, the web provides a vast array of information – if you know what to look for. Footprint is designed to intelligently parse data relevant to hiring decisions.”
