Google and Yahoo are now working together on a search advertising program.  This is good news since Microsoft is out of the game and I’ve always thought Yahoo could benefit from Google’s advertising/publishing programs.

Why did we make this agreement? Quite simply, we think it is good for users, advertisers and publishers. By offering Google’s industry-leading technology to Yahoo!, the whole system becomes more efficient, and everyone benefits:

• Consumers will see more relevant ads when they are looking for information and browsing the web. And with interoperability between IM services, users will have easier access to even more of their contacts.

• Publishers currently in the Yahoo! Publisher Network will benefit from Google’s advertising technology, potentially increasing the revenue they earn from their sites.

Advertisers will have new ways to reach their target customers online more efficiently.

Google (GOOG) has just announced that they are opening up their content network to 3rd party companies such as DoubleClick. This isn’t something new since DoubleClick has been already been working with Google before but it’s a good thing for advertisers and publishers since now you can use 3rd party software to take advantage of Google’s offers.

Ad servers, rich media ad agencies and research firms can now go through a certification process that ensures the highest level of advertiser service and user experience. In fact, advertisers and agencies now have the ability to serve ads and measure performance through these certified third parties:

• Advertiser ad servers: DoubleClick (DFA), Mediaplex
• Research firms: Dynamic Logic, IAG Research, InsightExpress, Factor TG
• Rich media agencies: DoubleClick Rich Media, Eyeblaster, EyeWonder, Interpolls, PointRoll, Unicast

Hi all,

This week, we will be updating Zedomax Network. There are some degrading sites on our network that will have to be removed and we’ve got about 50 more blogs to add so hold on while we update one by one.

What is Zedomax Network?

It’s a network made up of quality blogs and websites. Basically we are going to gather up about 200 to 300 “quality” blogs and do some “group” advertising for everyone in the network.

Plus, everyone will benefit from network traffic, SEO, and most importantly, network negotiations with advertisers and publishers.

How does it work?

First, you will need a quality blog (no porn, spam, splogs please). For details, shoot an e-mail to zedomax [at] gmail.com.

On the side note, you can check our our first video interview of CX Media over at Zedomax.com.
