Google Image Ads: Display Ads For Mobile

Google Image Ads: Display Ads For Mobile

Yesterday Google announced mobile image ads. The ads are displayed on the mobile sites of publishers that are participating in AdSense for mobile (or that opt-in to the new program). Mobile image ads are created in users' AdWords accounts and require more or less the same type of setup as traditional AdSense ads. The image ads are keyword targeted, priced on a PPC basis and must be associated with a mobile URL (rather than an HTML page), so a mobile site or landing page is a prerequisite to participating in the program.

Mobile advertising hits wireless Web first - CNET News.com

Mobile advertising hits wireless Web first - CNET News.com

As mobile operators take the slow road toward adding advertising on cell phones, big media brands with mobile Web sites are fast-tracking plans to add advertising to those sites.

Fox News announced Monday that it is partnering with Third Screen Media to help it inject advertising throughout its mobile properties. Initially, Third Screen Media will insert banner advertising on Fox News' mobile Web site. While no further plans have been announced, Fox News will likely add video advertising and other forms of advertising using Third Screen's technology at a later date.

Opera Mini Already Available for Android


Opera Software has released a technical preview of its Opera Mini web browser for smartphones running the Android operating system.

Naturally, this can't be a regular release, as devices running Android won't be on the market until later this year. Still, the company invites the Android development community to test this early version and share feedback with Opera for the forthcoming beta.

HEXUS.lifestyle - Press Release :: Consumers Demand Personal Touch from Mobile Advertising

New research from T-Mobile into mobile advertising trends has found that advertisers should be investing in mobile advertising as well as traditional advertising media, but only if they are willing to meet consumer demand for more relevant and personalised content. The research highlights that consumers are open to new forms of mobile advertising only if it is tailored to their specific needs and on their own terms. This applies to services they interact with and the information they seek, to actually giving them something in return for their time. Brands need to rethink their approach to mobile advertising, as consumers believe advertisements need to be more creative and cutting edge when appearing on mobile.

Yahoo Introduces Wide Range Of Mobile Search Improvements

Yahoo Introduces Wide Range Of Mobile Search Improvements

(Yesterday, Microsoft announced that voice search capabilities were being expanded for Live Search.)

Yahoo is also opening up mobile search in the same way it has on the desktop with Search Monkey (the unofficial name). Ott told me that publishers and site owners could do this once for both desktop and mobile or they could do something separate for mobile as well. (Think: dynamic feeds that repond to mobile use cases.) According to Ott, this will likely impact (though not determine) mobile search rankings.
