Back in early June, Adify Media announced that we were recently ranked by comScore as one of the networks with the highest Online Buying Power Index (BPI) which we thought was very cool.

Ads I WANT to see…
“Ask and ye shall receive.” These are the words that eMarketer quoted today in an article about the controversy over personalized ads. Having been in this industry for over 10 years and feeling personally invested in the success of online advertising, this article struck a personal cord with me.

That Next-Gen Portal Is Closer Than You Think
The rise of Google fundamentally changed Web navigation, nearly making late-'90's-style content portals obsolete. Who would go to a portal to get stale content that doesn't quite fit your interests, when you could search for personally relevant content by keyword? At least that was the idea. But there's still a need for a next generation portal. Let me explain:
Today's content has gone beyond mere Google searches to an on-demand paradigm. Once I find content I like, I can Digg it, Facebook it, MySpace it, and share it with my friends at my virtual water cooler. However, while spending time in social networks has great appeal, ads displayed there aren't any more effective because they show up next to friends' profiles. That leaves a gap between the needs of social networking audiences and the advertisers who fund them.
A truly next gen portal would better serve audiences and advertisers alike. What will that portal look like? It will manifest inside vertical networks or category-specific networks, where you can read the content that matters to you most and discover new content organically, whether or not you know the keywords to bring it to light. For deep engagement, the next gen portal will do some things for you seamlessly, like aggregate all the content in the network and refresh it continuously based on what other users are viewing and on what content topics matter most to you.

Sexiness and Desire
At one of our recent all-company meetings, our co-founder and president Russ Fradin told us that "We provide the infrastructure and services with which companies can build vertical ad networks. It's not sexy—we stay behind the scenes and give companies the tools to create a network that fits perfectly with their own brand."
