Kanoodle is ,a team displaced by a Google acquisition is now helping the smaller search provider revive a competitive Internet ad service, a subsidiary of Seevast - a holding company that consists of Internet marketing services companies that create integrated solutions to build and strengthen businesses.
Kanoodle was founded in 1999 as one of the early pioneers in search-targeted sponsored links. Our advertiser solutions help you reach your customers across a wide network of search sites, and our simple to use publisher solutions can help you generate revenue from your site.That is to say, The former executives of a company acquired last year by Google Inc. are reviving their approach for matching advertisers with the most relevant Web content.
The executives from Sprinks Inc., which Google bought in October, are renewing their competition in the market for contextual ads now that they have joined smaller paid-search provider Kanoodle.com Inc.
Since their December move to Kanoodle.com, the trio—Lance Podell, president; Doug Perlson, senior vice president, partner development and operations; and Mark Josephson, senior vice president, marketing and business development—has launched a Sprinks-like sponsored-listings service called ContextTarget. Kanoodle.com has signed up such major sites as MarketWatch.com Inc., The Motley Fool Inc. and Intuit Inc.s Quicken.com for the service.
Their next step is to expand that contextual listings offering to a wider array of publishers. In the second quarter of this year, Kanoodle.com plans to offer an automated version of ContextTarget to Web publishers, not unlike Googles AdSense program that puts its AdWords sponsored links alongside Web content, Josephson said.
Google officials were not available to discuss the companys future plans for its Sprinks acquisition, but the company did confirm that it is not currently using any of the products or technology acquired from Sprinks. Company officials, in past interviews, said that former Sprinks customers were offered Googles AdWords and AdSense programs.
Kanoodle.com maps the table of contents of partner sites to build its categories and match appropriate ads, he explained. The automated program will use the same approach but more dynamically map Web publishers pages to ContextTargets categories.
"The way we look at the world is that the Googles of the world are great search companies that are trying to put the same model on ads," Josephson said.
Kanoodle.com already had offered a keyword-based paid search program called KeywordTarget, where advertisers bid on key terms in search queries to trigger sponsored results.
Kanoodle.coms push into contextual advertising doesnt just pit it against Google. Other major search advertising providers are expanding into the space, including Yahoo Inc.s Overture division.
But Josephson said Kanoodle.com is directly tackling the problem of better targeting contextual ads to a Web pages content.
Take a financial news story about the Boeing Co.s earnings on a Web page. A keyword-based approach might place sponsored links about general aviation topics like jet repair alongside the story, while ContextTargets category approach would place sponsored links to Boeing research reports or stock news coverage, he said.
"We come from a publisher background and really understand that this is about relevancy and revenue and honoring the integrity of editorial," Josephson said.In other words,Kanoodle offers you a way to earn revenue for every visitor who comes to your site and searches for products and services.
