Revision as of 21:46, 21 May 2013 by 142.136.146.226 (talk)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)IntelliTXT, an "in-text" advertisement platform developed by Vibrant Media, is an example of keyword advertising. Website authors insert a script into their pages which calls the IntelliTXT platform when a viewer views the page; this script then finds keywords on the page and double underlines them. When holding the mouse over the double underlined link, an advertisement associated with that word will pop up. Advertisers pay to have their ads associated with particular words. "Context" is considered in an attempt to make the ads relevant to the web page hosting IntelliTXT.
The liability of this feature is that it makes pages more difficult to read; scrolling down the page may inadvertently cause delays while ads flash on and pause before disappearing.
Publishers choose to run IntelliTXT advertising campaigns on their websites to generate advertising revenue.
Customers
According to Vibrant Media, more than 4500 publishers use the IntelliTXT system. Nike, Sony and Microsoft are advertising on the platform, their ads reaching more than 100 million unique users in the US and 170 million internationally each month.
