The platform employed by 5to1 gives content owners the ability to place ads in relevant places at the right time, and to the correct audience. The company is run by former Fox Interactive executives Jim Heckman and Ross and this extension brings its total intake of funding to just over $6.3 million.

Cable operators and tech companies, including Visible World and Invidi, have led efforts to deploy interactive TV delivery systems for the last decade. National scale has been elusive because of the different and incompatible technologies used by competing cable firms, and the fact that content companies like NBCU and distributors like Comcast haven’t been able to work out terms for jointly deploying ad-targeting systems.

Marketers are eager to get their ads in front of people who want to see their products. They want to know who’s reading style sections of news so they can deliver them ads from designers such as Ralph Lauren and Salvatore Ferragamo, say, instead of ads for the latest camping gear or retirement home. They and data firms such as Blue Kai and eXelate pay $2 to $3 for information on 1,000 readers so that they can deliver ads to people they think will want to see them.

Most consumers have made it pretty clear that they don’t like the idea of having their online browsing activity tracked, stored and used to sell them additional crap — particularly without their consent.

Four-fifths of online publishers are now using some form of targeting to increase the value of advertising on their sites, but only a fifth are using behavioural targeting, according to new research. The information was gathered anonymously from 150 publishers in a survey sponsored by ad optimisation firm The Rubicon Project and conducted by Econsultancy in August and September.

How is ad pricing different online and offline? Fundamentally, it isn’t.

The latest a4uexpo newsletter included a thought provoking piece by Bronze Sponsors Commission Junction on behavioural targeting.
