TVEyes Announces First Contextually Relevant Text Ad Solution for Video Sharing and Publishing Web Sites

Posted on: Tuesday, 10 October 2006, 09:00 CDT

Online video sharing, news and entertainment sites have gained enormous popularity but haven't been able to monetize their millions of daily site visitors. Advertisers have also been frustrated by a lack of inventory on video sites and the general dislike site visitors have for pre-roll video ads. Now, by implementing TVEyes' patent-pending ConText Ad Solution(SM), owners of popular Web sites can quickly begin presenting text ads, driving ad serving engines such as Google Adsense or Yahoo! Publisher Network based on words spoken in the video segment being viewed. A demonstration of ConText Ad Solution, using video from YouTube, may be seen at http://www.tveyes.com/contextual_ads.php.

"We've made it possible for sites with millions of daily visitors to efficiently tap into the largest and most acceptable form of online advertising, and offer advertisers uniquely targeted access to millions of engaged site visitors," said David J. Ives, president and chief executive officer of TVEyes, Inc. "Internet users dislike pre-roll advertising intensely, but are conditioned to click on text ads when the content is relevant. With the TVEyes ConText Ad Solution, which automatically indexes site content and provides an interface to an ad serving system, site owners can immediately monetize their millions of page views without adding staff to sell advertising."

TVEyes creates a Spoken Word Index(TM) for every word in a site's library of video files which is used to dynamically drive the ad serving system each time the video is played. The solution is equally applicable to audio sites, such as radio station Web sites. It is available now and is in beta testing with a number of popular Web destinations.

"Other than selling sponsorships or pre-roll video ads, both labor-intensive from sales and implementation perspectives, popular video sharing, news and entertainment properties have had limited means to monetize their audience," continued Ives. "Contextually relevant text ads, based on the content being displayed, presents the most promising means to date for these sites to create a meaningful revenue stream."
