Google to Launch Next Gen Blog Advertising Network?

by Sam on April 30, 2008

I’m sure such an announcement is imminent within the next year or two. Sure Google has Adwords and Adsense, but that’s nothing compared to what they’ll be ultimately be able to do. Anyone who has played around with the Trends feature in Google Reader knows what I’m talking about. As an RSS reader, Google Reader has an enormous portion of the market – and it’s growing. For example, at last check 38% of Andy Beard’s traffic was via Google Reader. For LeveragingIdeas it’s more like 55%.

As blogs become a more credible and socially accepted means of journalism, traffics to the big hit blogs as well as those with niche content (and this audiences will continue to rise). Here are just a few examples of what Google Ad Network would knows about me…consider what you as a media buyer might be willing to pay for such knowledge:

Google knows what blogs I read, but it also knows….

  • What keywords I personally ‘tag’ blogs with. For example, I tag blogs with particular desires and insights such as ‘competition’ or ‘gift ideas’
  • Google knows what blogs and posts are REALLY the most viral. It knows when particular items are shared, emailed
  • Eventually Google could recognize when I include a given blog post’s hyperlink in an email sent through Gmail. Plus, it could scan the email’s content for keywords…and recipients
  • Google knows the frequency of how often I read particular types of information as well as the consumption patterns that could ultimately lead me to transactions. Hmm…I don’t recall ever buying something online before 12pm…
  • Thanks to the ‘share’ feature, Google increasingly knows who the real influencers are in a given social graph

What else does Google know?

Main thing is that Google knows these things about you rather than the content itself. So you don't need a new ad network, you just use that data in the AdSense targeting algorithms as user profile. Why would a new blog advertising network be needed?

Fair point…I'm suggesting a new ad network primarily because I think
Adsense is a bit stale and there is plenty to be done beyond targeted
text links…more wkin to a tailgate, transaction pattern analysis,
video, mobile.

I sure hope not. Google isnt that great for adsense and whatnot. Well, Yahoo isnt much better either.

Rumors have been circulating for a while now regarding a 2010 release of the Air Jordan X (10) “Chicago,” nike air max 1 but we have not seen any sort of confirmation in the form of catalog images or words from Jordan Brand representatives. But today, we are extremely proud to present a SneakerFiles nike air max 2010 exclusive confirmation that the Air Jordan X (10) will drop this month as a quickstrike release. Not just any Air Jordan 10, but rather nike air max 95 the Chicago colorway with 45—the number Michael Jordan wore when he came back from retirement—on the ankle. nike air max 90 This colorway of the AJ 10 is one of the most popular nike air max nl styles ever created, and will surely result in lines outside stores for days and may even cause riots. The Air Jordan X (10) “Chicago 45″ will release at only 150 sneaker stores across the United States with each retailer only receiving 23 pairs. Be sure to check out the additional photos and information after the jump!
